Roy Rogers (born July 28, 1950, Redding, California, United States) is an American blues rock slide guitarist and record producer.[1] He was named after the singing cowboy.[2] Rogers plays a variety of guitar styles related to the Delta blues, but is most often recognized for his virtuoso slide work.

I love that it's the WRONG Roy Rogers bio on this page! ðŸ¤£

There's also a great guitarist named Arthur Godfrey but a Google search only finds the 1950s TV host by the same name.

Oh, well.

I just love the sound of slide guitar.  Especially when it's played like this.

There's always someone that just loves to press that button.  There's a certain someone always gives my comments a thumbs down.  Just like this one will, I expect.  You know who you are...

And he was super cool too....LLRP!!

This song followed Danny Gatton's, Elmira St. Boogie. Can someone please explain to a performing guitarist why this song rates higher? To me Roy is is encumbered by his abilities and uses paint-by-number riffs. Danny, on the other hand, has been an inspiration to many contemporary virtuosos, and had pressed the envelope in innovation and technique (RIP). Musically, Danny is much more interesting and more over a kick-ass, foot-stompin' rocker. I can understand why simplicity appeals to most folks, but can someone tell me why Roy is currently trumping Danny?
 

u r correct sir, but.....to your point...... i think it's a blues vs rockabilly thing..strictly visceral.    there's no doubt bout gattons excellence..he was an innovator and an inspiration to so many. i mean, i can see brian setzer just sittin there thinkin  "hmmmmm....i could make a nice livin doin that!".   with rogers i just hear other peoples stuff...like johnny winter to b sure..that metallic slidey thing he had goin on was straight off of the 3 sided album j.w. did with his brother  "second winter"...just listen to 'hustled down in texas'.."i'm not sure'  or 'I love everybody".....matter of fact if folks go u tubin' this stuff they'll never listen to rogers again.....(specially  I'm not sure..thats a killer)
          oh hell  what about his version of percy mayfields  'memory pain'...thats just flat reeeediculusss.......nahhhhhh...forget it.... just listen tto the whole damn thing!!{#Biggrin}
