BUDDY GUY

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The one Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and 

Eric Clapton credit as THE AMERICAN GUITARIST 

that they all copied! Of course Jimi passed him!

Along with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Buchanan, Alvin 

Lee and Johnny Winter as the heavyweights of blues 

rock Buddy is legendary. 

He recorded outside of the mainstream american 

blues movement with Passport from Germany and 

spent most of the 80s in France. Unfortunately his 

recordings are nothing like his live performances. 

The only one that captures his power live is called 

STONE CRAZY! Recorded on a french label it was 

not released worldwide until later. There is a 

compilation called Stone Crazy also to add to the 

confusion that is worthless IMO. 

If you are ever in Chicago, Illinois, USA off of 

Michigan Ave, downtown Buddy has a club that ALL 

the guitar greats from around the world stop in and 

play. Buddy is booked there also during the year. You 

dont want to miss it. He plays songs, breaks off and 

starts talking smack to and about the audience and 

most of the show he is walking around in the 

audience playing right in your lap. AWESOME!!!

Most of his tours now are just for showmanship but 

occasionally he shows you what he knows.

A TRUE LEGEND not to be missed while his is still 

cranking out tunes!

	Buddy Guy plays with such power and emotion. He was obviously very influential to Hendrix and probably Robin Trower, as well. I love the polka dot strat... unique to Buddy. Now let's give Robert Johnson his fingerpickin' dues.... Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck all owe a huge credit to RJ.

	Fantastic guitar player, the man was playing psychedelic before anyone even knew what it meant. Danbo, kudos on the robert johnson mention, the man was truly amazing to be able to play as complex as he and still manage to sing completely in tune, i don't think he can ever be replicated.
