Yeah, that is some good stuff. 
I dont know that I've ever heard of him before. I think I've heard the name, but not any of his stuff.
Buchanan used a number of guitars throughout his career, although he was most often associated with a 1953 Telecaster guitar, the one he used to produce his trebly signature tone. The Buchanan sound is, essentially, achieved with minimum means: the Telecaster through a Fender Vibrolux with the volume and tone "full out," with the volume and tone controls on the guitar used to control volume and sound (he achieved a wah wah effect using the tone control).[6] Buchanan rarely used effects pedals, though he started using an Echoplex on A Street Called Straight (1976).[6]
Buchanan taught himself many guitar styles, including the "chicken pickin" style. He sometimes used his thumb nail rather than a plectrum and also employed it to augment his index finger and plectrum. Holding his thumb at a certain angle, Buchanan was able to hit the string and then partially mute it, suppressing lower overtones and exposing the harmonics, a technique now known as pinch harmonics, though Buchanan himself called it an "overtone."[6] Buchanan had the ability to execute pinch harmonics on command, and could mute individual strings with free right-hand fingers while picking or pinching others.
Having first trained as a lap steel guitarist, Buchanan often imitated its effect and bend strings to the required pitch, rather than starting on the desired note.[6] This was particularly notable in his approach to using double and triple stops.
Buchanan's long-standing alcohol and substance abuse problems seemed to worsen with time, culminating on August 14, 1988, when Buchanan was arrested for public intoxication. Several hours later he was found hanging by his own shirt in his cell in the Fairfax County Jail. According to Jerry Hentman, who was in a cell nearby Buchanan's one, the Deputy Sheriff opened the door early in the morning and found Buchanan with the shirt around his neck.[7][10]
His cause of death was officially recorded as suicide, a finding disputed by Buchanan's friends and family. One of his friends, Marc Fisher, reported seeing Roy's body with bruises on the head.
Kind of reminds me of Jeff Beck, but maybe a little smoother.
