“The World’s Greatest Unknown Guitarist”

I didn't want to side track Nikkiloves thread so, I moved the topic over here for those who aren't familiar with Roy Buchanan.

For the ladies bored in their hotels rooms and the various music aficionados :

Saw him live in 1973 and became a fan. He was not unknown to other musicians and had a profound influence on a number of guitar players.

I've actually got an album he did with Charlie Daniels a long time ago and CD left his fiddle at home and they rocked out.

In the meantime, might want to give this a listen. Not electric guitar. You're gonna call me a liar after listening to this but it's one man on one 12 string guitar! I didn't believe it either the first time I listened to this guy!

Still an amazing player combining flat pick and finger style picking.
