Roy Buchanan is another guitarist that i have a lot of respect for,
What they write bout him, Roy Buchanan is an American guitar and blues musician. He is noted for his use of note bending, staccato runs, and pinch harmonics. Buchanan was a pioneer of the Telecaster sound.
Buchanan honed his live technique through many years of playing dance halls and bars. Buchanan played Carnegie Hall several times, and is perhaps the only lead guitarist to have consistently headlined there for over 15 years.
Buchanan encouraged a tradition of 'roots' performances that grew out of country, blues, and especially rock and roll. He often stuck around long after shows to talk with loyal fans. Many live CD's were released after his death.
Legacy
Buchanan's long-standing alcohol and substance problems worsened with time, culminating when Buchanan was arrested for drunk driving. Several hours later Buchanan was found hanging in his cell by his own shirt. His cause of death was officially recorded as suicide, a finding disputed by some of Buchanan's friends and family
