I have listened to some of his records, but I don't play solos, I improvise them...

I have never sat down and learned it note for note, but I've been sitting around picking at it, and if I'm hearing it right in my head, it's in Dm, be careful with the bends, their a little subtle, and keep hacking at it, perseverance pays, I've got some old Roy on tape around here somewhere and I think you may have stirred me to dig it out, have you heard his version of "Sweet Dreams"?,

Dug out the tape this morning, and I believe your right, funny how the mind plays tricks sometimes, the price to pay for a misspent youth, listening to the tape just brings to mind what a tragic story Roy Buchanan turned out to be, what a shame , P.S., Gary Moore also did a cover of "the messiah will come again" on After the War.
