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. -------------
