Seen this great guitar player and his band in a very small venue in upstate New York. Very gracious man allowed me to the dressing room to get other band members autographs. Many years ago but I will never forget the memories
And to think he's playing slide with this kind of mastery and precision on a twelve string is mind blowing...the man's a beast, very underrated and in my opinion as a slide player, one of the best in the world.
Roy is one of those guitar slingers that if you see him live, as you stand there watching him you keep saying to yourself "that can't be done on a guitar". Yet there you are watching!!!
Spectacularly good. I hadn't seen Roy play before & the performance knocked me out. He had so much going on yet maintained a strong groove throughout. What a bag of licks!!!!
Great cover of a song that many have done. This is one of my favorite! This guy is tremendous, only ran across him recently, glad I did! Thanks Mr Roy you da man
He played at the Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City, SD sometime around 1990, and I caught his solo act. I'd never heard of him. Didn't know what to expect. He was freakin' awesome. Asked us if we wanted to hear any particular song, and requested "Little Red Rooster." He smiled and nailed it.
I have watched this video load's of times, recommended it to others many times, none better, fantastic entertainment thanks Roy, kind regards Pete over the pond 🤓
CRIMINALLY underrated slide/guitar player. I saw him live many times in the late 80's and it was jaw dropping every time. I have seen some of the best most famous blues/rock players of all time and Roy's show is one of the top 5 i have ever had the pleasure to witness....he is simply outstanding.
I have a 12-string Spanish classical hybrid w/classical guitar nut, and my guitar teacher, Joost, was looking for a 12-string, so I gave my Fender 12-string to him, and said that I had the hybrid, and it makes for a perfect slide guitar, and it's just right for blues and bluegrass.
TABS???? Good Lord man, he's all over that fret board like a freak'in machine. Talk about multi-tasking. He's singing, picking, fingering, and sliding on that guitar like he's ringing a bell. If Chuck Berry saw Roy first, Johnny B Goode would have never existed.
Holy Shit! Can't stop watchin' it over'n over again. Goes right into my heart & bones! Fantastic Music...Thanks for the Upload & share! Great Job! Greetz from Germany!
Mike Amira heard them all the ozzie is ok but roy is STILL THE MASTER OF SLIDE AND THATS HOW WHITE BOYS ROLL HAHA WE MASTER ANYTHING WE DO ITS OUR NATURE OUR SPECIES THAT RISE ABOVE COMMON MAN !!
+Duane Mac Leod There's a legend that says if you stop tapping your toes they'll cut them off and give them to someone an extra pair if they run out of toes to tap
Roy's one of the most underrated slide guitar players ever ...
Who's underrating him?
He should be a household name.
Definitely impressive playing, that's for sure. Never heard of him until I did searches on the YT. So you may be onto something here. :-)
Guaranteed all the household names know very much who he is👍
and I was one of those ignoring him. until I saw this. Fantastic talent.
What's truly amazing is so many folks don't know this man's Genius!!

derawket mee tooo!. Do I know u?
Do you know the booogie wooogie?

I saw him live in a small club in Houston years ago. Roy had the joint rockin'. Great guitar player. Great show.
THE best.
Roy is one of those guitar slingers that if you see him live, as you stand there watching him you keep saying to yourself "that can't be done on a guitar". Yet there you are watching!!!
It's senseless arguing who's the greatest player of any instrument. Just enjoy all the diversity that's out there. They're all great!
Spot on my friend.
Agreed 👍🎸🎶🎵😎!
True words. I dont know whos the best but im certain he is one of them :)
My God, he was absolutely freaking out on that guitar. I've never heard slide guitar before and this is just mind blowing.
Be sure to watch Joanna Connor do her rendition of this song. Its way over the top - just wild!!
Spectacularly good. I hadn't seen Roy play before & the performance knocked me out. He had so much going on yet maintained a strong groove throughout. What a bag of licks!!!!
Seeing him live is amazing......
Roy Rogers One of my all-time favorites. Damn good blues man
This guy just blew my mind. I've been playing for 30 years, and I can't believe I have never heard of him before.
CZcams only needs one video featuring slide guitar - and this is it.
WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES THAT I HAVE LOST COUNT. THAT LEFT HAND IS LIKE WATCHING A SPIDER ON A HOT PLATE!!!

Jazz, rock, & some country have roots in the blues.

Ed Michaels , one of the best drummers I ever played with . Nice job there Mr. Ed !

it is so good i could cry for joy don't go anywhere roy
such a great blues man.. the voice, the guitar skill, the presence, the feeling... hes got it all... amazing......
Keeping it real. Reminds me of the old blues Masters. That cat can play.
Seen Roy a few times back in the late 80's at a club in Dearborn called Sully's. He just always blew the doors off the place.
Thanks, great memories of playing Sully's in Dearborn with Roy!
I’m so lucky to be related to this dang awesome Slye.
He's great! I worked with him at Cincy Blues Fest in 2000 and he also played thru a Leslie 122!!!!!
Just got back from throwing my guitar in the river
😂
ill bet you have improved since posting this comment
It probably landed next to mine.
So disgusted I stole the neighbors too.
kick ass pure slide perfection
THIS AGES WELL
Olha eu aqui novamente. Continuo assistindo e me maravilhando com esse vídeo. Rogers é um virtuose magnífico.
Damn fine playin son.
"Come down hea, n sing into this here can, We gonna make ya a star!"......
Just so cool sounding! Amazing tone, but absolutely one of a kind technique
I listen to this song everyday, it's the shit. There's hardly any talent left in the world- 300days- you want good bass-victor wooten
I have a 12-string Spanish classical hybrid w/classical guitar nut, and my guitar teacher, Joost, was looking for a 12-string, so I gave my Fender 12-string to him, and said that I had the hybrid, and it makes for a perfect slide guitar, and it's just right for blues and bluegrass.
Awesome rendition. My man on the drums is right on. I diggin that 12 strng. Lot of sound for three guys.
great playin'
CALLATE CONCHA TU MARE HIJO DE PERRA GFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAF{ÑSAJEFVYSEGFSDFSERFTRSEFDSFEFTHBFGH
Nobody can rock the joint like Roy! See him live if possible his show is spectacular and rocks! Rhythm & Blues like it was invented by Roy!
I love this guy, not sure how I came across him, but so glad that I did, love his slide!
2019 and still killin’ it!
Was going to ask for the TABS, but that's not going to help me play this. What a performance. Just Brilliant.
TABS???? Good Lord man, he's all over that fret board like a freak'in machine. Talk about multi-tasking. He's singing, picking, fingering, and sliding on that guitar like he's ringing a bell. If Chuck Berry saw Roy first, Johnny B Goode would have never existed.
That steel side is actually hot with the friction.
Hey man, I think I found some TABS for this. All together, the printout is about the size of the book "War & Peace."
hey, where did you find it?
Please share, I just need to see the basic idea, the rest will be improvisation obviously :)
That track gets the foot tapping and shivers up the spine. So so good.
Saw him playing with the Hook twice in '85. Never saw anyone play slide like this
JUST FOUND MY NEW FAVE SONG OF THE WEEK
Holy Shit! Can't stop watchin' it over'n over again. Goes right into my heart & bones! Fantastic Music...Thanks for the Upload & share! Great Job! Greetz from Germany!
When the blues become yellows....and all the other colours....great work, Roy!
This guy does it
I just hope that I can have a small portion of this talent one day.
The best slide man ever,,,
A miracle of guitar playing.
Incredible skill and tone!
Absolutely fantastic slide guitarists
That Guitar riff just makes that song great
There are no words for how awesome this man's performance is
There are words to describe it but they haven’t been invented yet!
That has got to be the finest slide I've ever heard. Sure can't sit still at all.
awesome.
This is the coolest, most refreshing thing I have heard in such a long time! God I love it!
Same here! You have to hear Andrew Winton!!! Aussie, and man can he slide! especially listen to Fatty Ham Bone, awesome track
Mike Amira heard them all the ozzie is ok but roy is STILL THE MASTER OF SLIDE AND THATS HOW WHITE BOYS ROLL HAHA WE MASTER ANYTHING WE DO ITS OUR NATURE OUR SPECIES THAT RISE ABOVE COMMON MAN !!
This guy's skill puts a grin on my face every time.
Couldn’t agree more brother !
over a million views and i reckon im responsible for about a third of those......cant stop watching it...genius
An absolute joy to listen to
Has anyone heard the shortest blues song ever? "Well I didn't wake up this morning" the end.
The Neil Innes version goes. "Well I woke up this mornin'". I think it's on something Monty Python. Check him out, lotsa good stuff.
I did. Composed it and played it myself. Still alive. :-)
LMAO thanks for that!
Mountain Reiver Thats to crazy!
That's the best musician joke ever
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 string resonator didn't know there was such a thing. Roy Rogers god damn!!!

+Duane Mac Leod - An if you are dead this will get your toes back tapping again ....
+Duane Mac Leod Yes it does. Some solid sliding there.
+Duane Mac Leod There's a legend that says if you stop tapping your toes they'll cut them off and give them to someone an extra pair if they run out of toes to tap
lol great legend.
Big time
Lighting fast.... hot and heavy !!♡!!
Seen Roy three times and in person it is just not believable how good he is.
How does anyone play like that??? My fingers can't think that fast!! Nice job Roy!!
+Jeff Kushner Muscle memory, baby!
Yup, you are correct Dinko. And my youth was totally mis-spent imbibing illegal substances. I could have been practicing!
Jeff Kushner Same here.

Roy Rogers ... YOU ARE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION!!! AMAZING!!!
Been using the slide on my 12 stringer and there is something so magical about it.
But a 12 string res, that is a whole new realm of magical.
Excelente guitarrista de blues sureño!!!
12 string resonator
Hes a entertainer showing off is a good thing it makes it more entertaining
the outro to this song is just straight outta this world
he makes it look so easy, but this playing is really out of this world.. just keeps going and going with playing a note too much or too little :o
