There's a few people today who are very, very humble, but who love the Blues in a similar manner to Buddy and B.B. Listen to Derek Trucks both solo and in Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Warren Haynes on anything he's playing, and Jimmy Herring of Widespread Panic. Those boys will turn your head around when it comes to the Blues. Unless asked, you never hear from these people. They are in it for the music.

Many years ago when I was but a young lad I played in a little basement band that had an opportunity to open for Mr.Guy. There were several other bands on the venue as well so my band and Buddy's band shared the same dressing room between our spots.The gig lasted several weeks. Buddy was playing a Guild Starfire thru a Standel solid state amp at the time. The great sax man A.C.Reed was with Buddy as well. I saw a chance to learn from a master and constantly asked Buddy to teach me. He never refused . He was beyond patient. He didn't have to spend his break time with a no name kid from South Jersey but he was the kindest man I ever met. He showed me anything I asked for and repeated things until I met with his approval. He even suggested ways I could do things better without my asking.Buddy held back nothing. Now I'm an old man and have spent my life as a professional guitar player. Buddy was my inspiration and it has been on my bucket list to personally thank him for his kindness that meant so much to me. I hope I get my chance but if not I hope he reads this. THANKS BUDDY!!

To the 121 people who gave this a thumbs down I feel obligated to educate you. You are looking at and listening to one of the last living blues legends on the face of the earth. Once this man has passed on so does the true legacy of the blues. Clapton, Hendrix, Allman, Page, Beck, Townsend, Richards, SRV are just a few who site Buddy Guy as the reason they wanted to play electric blues. The good news is there are alot of young players today keeping the torch lit but we will NEVER replace this man or the other pioneers before him. God bless you Mr. Guy!!!

Mr. Buddy Guy, a national treasure, modest, humble and genuine, a true Southern gentleman. He is everything the music industry is not. And look at all the years that same industry kept him buried. I'm happy the British Invasion happened and educated me on the blues. For those that felt it was a slap in the face, I say, all good things come to those who wait. Buddy Guy speaks reverently of the blues masters who came before him. The public acknowledgement of Buddy Guy's talent is his vindication.

I don't get to tell my Buddy Guy story very much, so I am going to use this opportunity. I went to Rush street on New Years Eve back in the late 80's and was hopping from one bar to the next. About two in the morning, we ended up at this little blues bar, can't remember the name, and there was this guy on stage with the black and white dot Strat and just killing the damn thing. After the set, he comes to the bar and we start talking. I told him that he looked like Buddy Guy, and he said that he get's that a lot. I said that for a cover band, that they were close to the real thing. He chuckled and said thanks, After a while he get's back up on stage and I realized it wasn't a cover band. It was Buddy. I thought I was going to throw up. I made such an ass if myself, drunk and stupid. I stayed till the end of the show and he was so cool, not mad or upset or nothing. Just a guy making a living onstage and that's all.

In fact, his restaurant was named LEGEND. I planned my Chicago trips going to the Legend. The food is good and lots of people from all over the world attend and the great music is unforgettable!

I mean really. What a class act. His perspective is so different from mine, to put myself in his shoes really makes me think. I'm halfway through my 20s and have grown up with everything from Buddy Holly to Darkthrone. The most old school rock to the heaviest of metals. I can't imagine just a void being there in my childhood. No beatles, no sabbath, no zeppelin. None of the memories of my parents blasting records. I started playing when I was young too, but if you learn young nowadays you can't help but be clouded by the rock star mythos. The money, the women, etc. When he was a kid that was just nonexistent. He played just because he liked the way it sounded and it gave him that feeling, the feeling i'm sure any other musician knows. That's a really pure thing, to come from literally a blank slate to the legend he is now.
