    Roy Buchanan

    I didn't know guitarist Roy Buchanan, just read about him on the LesPaulForum.

    Don't know how I missed this. I just can't turn off my stereo, he makes wonders with that Telecaster.

    Roy Buchanan will always remain "MR. TELECASTER" in my book.

    that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
    shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

    Such a great player.

    I need to listen to him more. I've always admired his playing but the tinny Tele sound hasn't settled in my head flaps. Like I say, I need to listen more and get what he's doing with it.

    That is a common reaction. It took me a while to get beyond that sound. Well, not exactly "beyond" it. Sometimes it works great the way he does it and other times it still scares me!
