We appreciated blues and because Europe wasn't racist blues musicians were really looked up to 🥰🥰💃

July 30th, 1936 was the Birth year & stats of Buddy Guy's time unleashed on this innocent Earth. Starting in '81- I believe - I started seeing him in many Cities/States of the USA-lastly were two in three days in Nor-Cal at his just turning 88. It'd been a while & since I was Blessed to see him just before COVID'S Lockdown o' Fun for the whole Family w/ thanks to the chinese who'd rather fkg lie & be secretive about that germ warfare they shyly let loose on the Planet - that was the US' fault because you don't contract a Society so poor their professional people are taking infected Lab Animals like Mice/Rats- good for skewering normally w/a little BBQ Sauce & greens - well, that's another story- but if they're that damned poor & screwed up Socially, you don't want to do business w/them except for doing away w/dead, diseased Dogs 'n such being taken away from here. It's not a good thing that comes from that in the original Country! It didn't help Buddy Guy or anyone else by having to sit around & wait (& wait). Time didn't wait as the older Gents had to stop Touring the World or at all. I'd like to properly thank them for selling infected Lab rats & such & then being SHY about that as act of Love to the 🌎🌏🌍🔬. My last Live Show a week or two before THE VID/'HEY-19' came to towns across the Pacific Ocean was going 217 miles & buying a ticket for a Buddy Guy Show; I hadn't seen, spoken to Buddy in a long time & was doing 90-95/mph to not miss anything I didn't have to & that it was my last Show for a while re COVID - things could've been worse (not by much but I guess so). He was still able to make people who studied his playing literally jolt up out of our seats through the Show-he was modest when SRV, Clapton, BECK, etc- tried to stand tall before the Man. His old Mgr told me a story about Santana & Buddy when Carlos was supposed to get up & jam w/Buddy for a little while. He was wearing his Ibanez Guitar & got Hit by a few, quick, flurried Notes probably from Buddy's GUILD (reddish brown, double cutaway body) & personally I think it's a better sound than the Fenders but they're taking care of him w/endorsements- finally so I don't know. It's not my Budget, He's worked hard to get the stature He's at & still be Alive- not meeting people he doesn't want to meet at 89(±) & finally recognized by the industry as the best: so many said it, not to be polite but in Truth. I think he was a little unhappy to be in second place sort of w/Zepellin, David Letterman all getting Kennedy Center Awards a few years ago now and Jimmy Page was among those who used to praise his playing ability not style - ability to make some of us spaz up out of our chairs & react like we'd been attacked by a swarm of bees as the little hairs on the body kind of sizzle reacting to the lightning bolts he was slinging around the venue. Sadly, he's slowed down in the tempo he's playing & also had some sing-along numbers doing time in his Shows, but damnit - hes coming up to 90 hard Years almost all w/a Guitar for a working tool & not regretting it at all.

Hello, as you put "Attempting" to play... I can tell you what the problem is right now- someone put a few stickers on your Guitar! This can cause many people a lot of confusion. It's distracting to the Player. There, see? Everything is cleared up now & you're a better Man for it too! No gratuity sought or needed but I thank you for the offer.

Very Nice!

Classic from 1970! ❤️‍🔥

I dont know if its bc im from the south, but i understood exactly what he was saying

We are so fortunate that Alan Lomax recorded these interviews and lots of music that might have been completely lost without his incredible work.

Great stuff for the ages. Glad it was captured at the time and preserved. Thanks for uploading.

Many thanks fella. I’m slowly getting it.

Still the best howlin wolf

His diction was very clear to me. Reminds me of my Grandmother's generation from down home. Their conversations were meant for your heart, not your ears !!!

How can i learn to play guitar like these three blues men!😢

Two of my favorite musicians. She had a lot to say about McDowell in the documentary about him called “Shake em on down”

How can this only have 13 likes? I'd like it a hundred times if I could....

One of the reasons that I first started looking out for Colin was hearing he had played with Stevie Ray.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Robert inspired every misician from elvis to the beatles and rolling stones to eric Clapton

How are there no comments on the interview of this great Mississippi legend? RIP John Lee

Son House and Buddy so good together

Amazing film

Is that Buddy Miles on Bass ?

Hey Whiskey and Monk

you know its so hard to love someone who don't love you

Fastest "Saved" ever. God bless both of them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

And I got to see Muddy Waters perform live a number of times. Mentioning that gives me goosebumps

I know the person who organized the purchase of Son House's headstone.

Buddy Guy is the favorite Guitar Player from interviews w/ Top performers like: Jorma Kaukonen, BECK, Clapton, Page, Hendrix & SRV & his Bands w/ : 'The Jr Wells-Buddy Guy Blues Band' &/or Blues Review' were blazing away in DC, Denver (2 night stays- Denver iS an 'Interstate Crossroads'(E-W I-70+N-S I-25). As they'd figure out N,S,E or W- two nights in Denver & selling a few dozen Peppermint Lounge &/or Checkerboard Lounge T-shirts (for Gas money or fkg Royal Gate; Jr had class). Those Backing Bands knew- KNEW!- WHAT WAS NEXT. I never saw a set list. 'That's amazing!' No, Buddy - Jr worked on the shows w/whoever was the Band leader until they had it right. Every time I saw Buddy Guy (w/without Jr) I was jolted up outta my seat - a low population bar or an Auditorium & DC>DENVER ×2,"×2,"×2, Ft Lauderdale (NYE when Fender woke up & finally Respected Buddy-'91-2(±), & Redding, CA my last PRE-VID Show: He always had the ability to make serious audience members jolt/jerk up outta Our (12±) chairs/seats, anywhere in the USA- NO Setlists but tight! I miss his GUILD - Model -? Buddy always did his best & No SETLISTS. He could shift gears & shut 'em down as he said "WAIT A MINUTE!" SILENCE from the Stage. They were ripped off in the 'Festival Express' Tour of Canada just as at Live AID. Where are the Black Artists? Only Teddy P (The Voice of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes!) w/ Ashford & Simpson & Tina Turner, & Patti Labelle-who lived in Philly- & a few others at Live AID! Buddy would've been a backbreaker at Kennedy Stadium! Only after THE VID has Buddy slowed down & for the first 2 times since THE VID: 8-4+6-2023 (at 87 since 7-30-23 a week before or less - were the first times since 3-5-20 in Redding, CA was I not jerked up out of my seat & didn't see any others Hit that way either. The Real Deal was a Sharecropper's Son, had limited vocabulary & ability to construct Songs- not just 🎼music 🎶- Songs that made me, others in the same venue spaz like there was an Epilepsy Convention in the area & this was the entertainment scheduled for them! No one was better than Buddy Guy w/that double cut GUILD as in the '80s! Nobody. He knew he was able to rip apart but then he had class & showmanship & the illusion of competition in the works. That's SAD- He told Clapton he had to beg off Crossroads for, I think, the 1st time ever this time. Once he got his Kennedy Center Award- no more hanging w/the crowds. Look up Chicago Hustle '82 (w/that GUILD I believe). It's the time frame. He didn't have to show up anybody else by then. He's been credited by Jimi, SRV, E.C. & BECK & THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS JUST BEING POLITE & 'DIPLOMATIC SO AS NOT TO UPSTAGE THEM- AS A GUEST AT THEIR SHOWS. He's going to be 88 on July 30th. Maybe. If you never saw & heard him in the '80s- you'll never know. Footage of Buddy, Buddy Miles & Jack Bruce in London & Muddy telling him about getting screwed by Mgmnt people was Fatherly advice on the Biz. Look, listen & watch the 'Lick This' Instructional DVD Series by Buddy for a glimpse OR you'll never know what you missed & what He could do! January's were either filmed &/or 'just' recorded & I bought everything I saw by him from Buddy's Legends- you can't get better from a Sharecropper's Son in Louisiana. Buddy in the 80s & 90s was a knock out; ask Clapton. Watch the next one after this- OR- "BUDDY GUY BERN 2000" AS HE'S INTO THE CROWD WAILING & WALKING AROUND THE AUDIENCE doing'I Just Want To Make Love To You'. I DON'T LIE. ENJOY THE TIMES WHEN HE HAD LONG, RELAXED HAIR (AGE SPAN- NOT FOR THE FASHION STATEMENT). A LOT OF 'MID-LIFE' CRISES (PLURAL FOR 1 CRISIS) LOL

'and he threw his head back, and his eyes rolled back, and he took a long breath, and a moment went by, and then he let the breath go, and in that moment Son House became the blues!"

I'm 59 yrs old and just learned a bunch of really cool stuff bout the Wolf. I'm glad his last show was his best. So many people don't get that chance,to know, that audience got my best.

Excellent! Thank you.

"...Robert Johnson, he put it out Walkin' Blues." They're talking about a Muddy song but what song are they talking about?

Very Interesting , Thanks for the Post!

Monterrey 1967

I got this understand the Honeyboy easy enough , Scots accent much harder 😂 but yeh not a lot pauses

Had been at the museum run by his grandson Steven Johnson. He told us the same story. It was "bad" whisky.

There seems to be some speculation as to where Robert Johnson is buried...I've been to the 'pecan tree' burial at Little Zion although a couple other cemeteries in or around Greenwood claim to having his final resting place too...

Are you still playing? Maybe HoneyBoy's story needs to be told and you may be one of few to be able to tell some of it.

I met Honeyboy and saw him play at the Juke joint festival in Clarksdale Miss in 2009.....really humble and cool guy! I felt really starstruck...he was the Real Deal!

Sounds like he was poisoned by thT woman's husband, he knew and got the bottle ready. The waitress knew which one to give him. First of the 27 Club, and the first Guitar Hero.

I love it ❤

Subtitles needed here . Didnt get one word in. ten!

Wow! The very last line is pretty significant for guitar players into the delta blues. He called the name of E tuning “Crossnote”. That’s a favorite of Skip James like in the song “Hard time killing floor blues” It flattens the 3rd to a minor chord.

Who is playing the intro music 😊

Welcome to The Good Side of KZbin ✨ 4:32

Live by the sword kinda thing. What a horrible way to go

Legends!!! 2024!⚡🎸⚡🎸⚡🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎🎶🎶🎶🎶

I saw Honeyboy play here in Toronto at Harbourfront. I photographed him during his show and had a chance to speak with him after the show. He was a real gentleman.

Best guitar book I ever had

Very Cool, several generations of blues there.

Hi I have just reserected the Lead Guitar by Harvey Vinson baught probably when it first became available 1972. However I do not have the disk to go with it. I appreciate you have gone to the trouble to create an instruction video, could you say in the videos what page you are working from. I am amazed to find you working from this book!
