Had the good fortune to see Roy Buchanan play in Melbourne Australia in 1985 much to my brothers chagrin.A true great.

Like Roy said... "There is no such thing as number one"... But he is my favorite. He's got a magical way that blows my mind.

We call it "violining" in the UK and it can apparently only be done with a Vol pot that is logarithmic rather than Linear, nice to do on a Strat.

You have a lot to discover then. Try his first two Polydor albums and the live albums-Live Stock and Live in Japan.I actually met Roy outside the Bottom Line in '82. We started talking and he invited me back to his hotel-NY Hilton on 57th? if I recall to party for a while. So, I've been into him for a while. Got to touch his '53 Tele he used for years. Great guy as well as great musician.

That's the volume swells he's famous for. He hits the note with the volume down then turns the volume up for that effect.
