Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso


I really enjoy excellent musicianship and performance and have always emphasized here (and elsewhere) that this is why I listen to music, and this "playing / performing has been number one for me with our hobby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me tonal accuracy, spatiality and an awesome soundstage experience, but it is this aspect of "music" that makes it all worthwhile for me. At 70 years old, I have followed many musicians of every genre of music throughout my lifetime. I have spoken here before about Matteo Mancuso as being, imo, a guitar virtuoso, and everyone should check him out. But here I encourage everyone to give a listen and vision of this fella. Check out Roy Buchanan on YT with Roy’s Bluz (live 1976). If you enjoy it, great. An unhappy ending to his life. Enjoy! and always, my best to everyone. MrD.

Matteo is a bad-ass boy indeed. I've been following him as well. Check also another young prodigy from France Antoine Boyer. He is perfectly inclined on jazz and classical music. 

 

Had the good fortune to see Roy live at the Commodore ballroom in Vancouver back in 1975. Nobody sounds like Roy. Check out his live album "Livestock".

An awesome talent that never gained the notoriety he so justly deserved.

A sad story.

Roy's band used to be the house band at the Crossroads Supper Club in Riverdale, MD in the early 70's....
