God knows I love Stevie..First heard him in my friends room when I was 15 .He changed he direction of my guitar playing and is still the standard to me.But through Stevie I discovered Buddy Guy and I learned where it all came from.I think from Hubert Sumlin to Buddy to Stevie...just my theory.
Its not about who is better, the fact is, if it wasnt for Stevie, Buddy wouldnt have picked back up his guitar, but he was inspired by Stevies style, and SRV's biggest influence was buddy guy, so without eachother the blues would be missing a chapter.... RIP SRV, Buddy keep rockin bro your a legend that still shreds...
@MrRoadkill50 Actually Stevie's biggest influence and only real hero was Albert King (his older bro was a different story). I think everybody who knows a thing about SRV knows that too
I used to have this on uh cassette tape....It is from Buddy's birthday bash at Legends..........Killer blues played by two of the greatest blues guitarists ever......so very nice to hear this again.....
SRV and Buddy Guy are both amazing guitar players and I cant listen to them enough and thats all that matters to me. I dont even try to figure out who the best is, all the greats are unique in their own way and they never sat around saying who was best they just played or play their asses off every time they pick up the guitar. Good music is good music regardless whose playing it.
The fact that 1 motherfucker down thumbed this video makes me want to loose all hope for the human race. Who the fuck down thumbs fucking Buddy Guy and SRV together????!!! Even a cocksucking metrosexual poped collar douchebag who hits his own mother would like this video, and up thumb it!!!
man threw speakers i was like wtf but i put my 50 doller head phones on and was like ahhhhh ha! i new it was good lol. man blues is just NOT the same unless its live!!!!!! buddy guy....come play at my house...i have good food good weed good wine and a guitar an amp.....please?
@Zboots I know I went to see Buddy Guy and BB King was awesome.It does not matter who is the best. Those are gifts God gave all them!!!!!!!! When I went to see BB and Buddy Stevie had passed and he told on stage
that he felt the best ever was Stevie Ray. It was a awesome thing to see I wish I could share pictures with you
but they did not allow cameras. I JUST LOVE THE BLUES!!!!!!
@Zboots i agree, the only way you could ever say whos the best guitarist ever is if they all palyed the same song at the same everything, only then can you compare whos best and it would be imposible because im sure wed all sound the same haha
@kvone2kx No, even then you wouldn't be able to objectively say who's the best because it would still depend on your personal taste. Have ever noticed that a universal definition for "best" and "better" guitar player doesn't exist? Just like there's no universal definition for beauty
do you guys here buddy guy make his guitar "laugh" at 3:15? Whatch how at 3:21 SRV plays a smoking riff and at 3:31 buddy guy basically plays it back to him....BACKWARDS!!!! GENIUS! This shit is great!
As much as I luv srv...u all need to get off his nuts....he was a GREAT player....but he was still growing as a musician...we will never know how great he could have been...he had a very distinct tone...and a passion like he was possesed by Robert Johnson, Albert King, and Ghost of blues players past...but i will say something that you all probably wont agree with...he still needed to expand his phrasing...and work on nuance as great as he was....was not very dynamic...he was AMAZING..not perfec
@jurismydiction who is pwefect?.. hendrix hit so many bum notes and phrases you cant count them, but its what the parts that equal the whole that matters.. i have afeeling that u haven't studied too completely,.. i began collecting his boot legs 20 yrs ago, ,,,, before the net, when you could BUY whole shows,, and he nuance to spare,, trust,, i could give examples for an hour,, but trust,, he had it in spades,, working the toggle,, volume work,, hybrid picking, come on
I think guys who say SRV was the best ever...just dont get it....he was a transformational figure...which makes him great...and it is all opinon...but....guys like buddy guy Albert king created the language that his guitar speaks in...and I also think that to say that he was the greatest guitarist of all time is retarded...there are lots of great guitarist many you have never even heard of...that have 10 times as many hits here than SRV...try searching Paco de Lucia...
i think hendrix is without a doubt the greatest guitar player of all time...all around...but there is no way anyone can say that someone played blues better and with more feel than SRV....there is no better...just both so great....its stevie, Jimi, and then every other guitar player
I walked into a club one night and this man jumped in front of me with his jerry curls and his guitar. He commenced to blow my socks off. It was Buddy Guy. I had never seen him live before. Amazing!
god damnit yall need to listen to rolandvids hoochie coochie man 1970 video response to muddy waters hoochie coochie man its straight up electricfying guitar all done buy himself u listen i guess none of you know who albert collins is probably not well god damnit once u hear him u gonna say oh albert is the best
@Colierrannd2 Title: Vaughan, Stevie Ray & Buddy Guy "It´s still called the Blues" Try buying the album TSP CD 166 from this link:
theswinginpig (DOT net)
Album cover is the picture at the stat of this clip.
No, Jeff Beck, SRV, BG was a different date. SRV and JB played Chicago on tour together I think. Then they dropped by Buddy Guy's Legends club to jam with BG. I found the JB quote in one of his interviews, so I put in in my Wikipedia article on BG. Now it's gone viral, lol.
@daveblisss ok im not talking about that what you have to understand is buddy guy has never played like that i have seen him quiet a bit of his shows he doesnt play those licks buddy has his style and srv had his. and @ 1:23 that is srv style guitar NOT buddy guy its common sense.
@vickrules1 Trust me, you do not know what Buddy is capable of playing. My entire album proves BG started solo playing a similar style (he took it to another level later with SRV). BG plays with more diverse styles in his Legends club in Chicago in January than he does on tour. Read my article on Buddy Guy in wikipedi.org. Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman knows BG’s capability: “Such is Buddy’s mastery of the guitar that there is virtually no guitarist that he cannot imitate.”
@vickrules1 Send me your email and address. When I have time, I'll burn and send you a CD of bootleg tracks from Buddy's Legends shows that will broaden your knowledge of Buddy's styles and licks -- stuff you have probably not heard before..
Go buy the album of this jam session. Listen on a stereo setting. Buddy's guitar was on the left channel even before SRV came on stage. Buddy's guitar remains on the left channel while SRV's guitar is on the right channel. What does common sense tell you?
@daveblisss if you could just rip those CDs and upload them as a .rar file or something on megaupload, i'd be interested in those recordings at least, if no one else is.
These 12 songs are from one of my CD compilations. 11 of 12 live songs are bootlegs (8 of 11 bootlegs are from Buddy's January 1974 live performances at his Legends club, taken from various official bootleg CDs I have; 1 was 1969 bootleg; . 2 were 1989 bootlegs, including the song on this board).
Hope it works since this is my first time using megaupload.
@daveblisss but if you listen to buddy's tone in the very begging of the video it is the same tone that goes on through the song but @ 1:23 a whole new tone comes in and then it goes back to buddy's tone which means it has to be buddy unless it just magically changed and the lick that starts @2:15 to 2:26 stevie played that alot and i have never heard Buddy ever play that in a song and i have seen ALOT of his videos
@vickrules1 Your logic is Buddy played at the beginning of song, then at 1:23 SRV started playing, then Buddy came back at 2:41. However 2:41 is a new guitar for the first time -- itt is SRV playing for the first time (he’s not warmed up). My friend, I have the entire album of that night, of which this song is track 2. I know how Buddy’s guitar sounded on track 1 alone, without SRV on stage. I also have many official bootlegs off Buddy Guy. I have heard a lot of him, he can play this way.
@vickrules1 the simple way to determine who is playing what is to hear it thru left and right speakers. Buddy's guitar is skewed to the left speaker and SRV's guitar is skewed on the right speaker. On track 1 in the album (this song here is track 2), Buddy's guitar is weighted on the left speaker as well. There, argument solved. Do not reply until you have hooked up L & R speakers to your computer and listen to this song in stereo.
yes wicked music ihad the plaeasure of buddy handing me his guitar and playing on his show while he went and drank backstage to have a entertainer do that for u in his own hometown really boosted my confidence were talking bout buddy guy i also met stevie and when i met him i told him why dont u start talking bout buddy and junior and albert collins and all them old blues cats they need help im coming up the ladder and if u dont i will he said he would and thats what he did stevies hand was tuff
@vickrules1 I'm very sorry, but there is not a chance in hell, heaven & the universe that is SRV. The crazier & heavier guitar is Buddy Guy. I have heard Buddy play a lot both live at his club and his official bootlegs from his club performances. Second, it is Buddy's club so the guitars are set up perfectly for him, not for SRV. As well, Buddy had already played at least one song on his own in a similar style. SRV needed a few minutes to get warmed up. Buddy loves to upstage people he jams with
I was there! waited from 4 p.m., got a table in front of the stage,. SRV came in around 12:45 a.m. and it was worth the wait. My girlfriend at the time was a real trooper, never complained or whined. Unforgettable!
The amazing thing about this to me is how much homage SRV pays to Buddy. He's copping his style right and left in this and doing an amazing job at it. Both guys are just on fire here. Thanks for the post. This is a real treat.
Vickrules1: Buddy Guy plays the heavier and crazier guitar in this Champagne and Reefer clip. It is just common sense. This jam was at Buddy's own club and stage. So of course Buddy's technicians set up his guitars, pedals and soundboard perfectly for him. However, SRV flew in after his gig with only his guitar to Buddy's Club. If SRV or any great guitarist just plugged in and started playing in an unfamiliar stage without his technician, they are unlikely to sound that great.
Vickrules1: In Sweet Home Chicago (Alpine Valley), compare SRV’s solo at 4:41 – 5:40 (Part 1 clip) with Buddy’s solo at 3:09 – 3:57 (Part 2 clip) which excited the crowd. Both solos excellent in different ways -- Buddy was more free form and emotional like Picasso and Van Gogh, while SRV is more like popular and realist like Michaelangelo and Rembrandt. Buddy is a whole different class of artistic blues thinking that SRV does not have and cannot play, while SRV is (RELATIVELY) more pop blues
Daveblisss you are 100% right that is buddy at 2:50-3:09 on sweet home chicago but listen around 4:41 when stevie comes in and tears it up im just saying man honestly SRV is the better guitar player i love buddy but there is a whole different level of playing with those 2 and SRV was in a class of his own that buddy just can't get in.
Also listen to this Buddy Guy instrumental "Rememberin' Stevie" (Damn Right I've Got The Bkues) since it was dedicated to SRV.
As well, listen to Cut You Loose (Bring Em' In); I've Gotta Try You Girl (Sweet Tea); Blues At My Baby's House (D.J. Play My Blues); Someone Else Is Steppin' In (Slippin' In); She's A Superstar (Feels Like Rain); etc etc etc
Vickrules1: Because Buddy Guy starts and dictates the jam at an intense level, it is understandable that SRV (who just flew in from a gig with his guitar) initially cannot keep up. SRV needed a bit of time to settle in and get into the flow.
You obviously haven’t heard enough Buddy Guy.live. I have dozens of better Buddy solos than SRV’s Leave My Little Girl Alone. E.g., I Smell A Rat (Stone Crazy), Love Her With A Feeling (Slippin’ In), Let Me Love You Baby (Live The Real Deal), etc etc etc
Sweet Home Chicago at Alpine Valley was played by the 5 guitarists taking turns to solo or highlight. Buddy Guy, for example, plays at 2:50 (then he sings) and again at 3:09 (Part 2) in his distinctive bends and staccato style. I hope you are not going to claim that is SRV, lol. If so, you need to learn about other blues masters. On youtube you can listen to Buddy Guy play Sweet Home Chicago at Clapton’s Crossroads and also at Houston, though I’ve heard better Buddy do better with that song.
Daveblisss dont say stevie cant keep up go listen to his version of leave my little girl alone at Austin City Limits and tell me he cant keep up that solo is better than any of buddy guy's or listen to stevie on sweet home chicago the last song he ever played it was freakish but im sure you'll say it was buddy playing.
Vickrules1: dude, you ASSUMIE "huge ass tone that can ONLY be Stevie Ray Vaughan.”
SRV himself declared that Buddy Guy "plays from a place that I've never heard anyone play. Buddy can go from one end of the spectrum to another. He can play quieter than anybody I've ever heard, or wilder and louder than anybody I've ever heard. I play pretty loud a lot of times, but Buddy's tones are incredible…he pulls such emotion out of so little volume. Buddy just has this cool feel to everything he does.”
Vickrules1, dude, I have the ENTIRE recording, including Track 1 BEFORE this Champagne and Reefer (Track 2). Buddy Guy uses the SAME guitar and tone style without SRV on Track 1 BEFORE Track 2 with the huge ass tone.
SRV DOES NOT think or play in this style -- he is too clean, flowing and fluent. That’s why SRV initially could not keep up. Buddy Guy CAN think and play in that style -- he used a similarly heavy style covering Red House in the album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
Daveblisss, dude listen to the beginning of the song that is buddy playing those small thin sounding licks and then after he says stevie get up here i here a huge ass tone that can ONLY be Stevie Ray Vaughan.Buddy Guy does not play that heavy i have seen about 10 times and yes he is VERY good but he is no SRV
Vickrules1. You are wrong. First, I have the full 56 minute album. If you listened to the whole album you would probably agree with me. Your assumptions are based on this clip, which on the album is track 2 Champagne and Reefer (where Buddy invites SRV to stage). Buddy Guy plays without SRV on track 1 It’s Still Called The Blues -- Buddy’s distinct guitar, sound and playing style in track 1 continues into track 2, where he just gets heavier and crazier as he jams with SRV.
Second, in stereo, Buddy’s guitar is biased to the left speaker in track 1 and 2 onwards. SRV’s guitar is biased to the right speaker in track 2 onwards. Third, Buddy played both before (29 to 44) and after (55 to 1:00) he said “lets see if we can get stevie up here” (47 to 52), and then continued playing again at 1:22 (the same guitar, coming from the same left speaker). Buddy simply waited so that SRV could listen to his licks and follow him.
Fourth, Buddy said “how bout SRV” just after SRV played his licks (after that Buddy played his heavier licks).
Fifth, Buddy is able to play that style and many other styles not on his studio recordings. You will be amazed what Buddy can do live if you listen to my many bootlegs off the soundboard from his Legends club. It is sad that Buddy Guy is being insulted by the assumption that it is SRV playing. Shows how little is known about the great blues masters outside of SRV.
@ Dave Bliss i swear to you that is stevie buddy cannot play that way and by the way why does buddy say lets see if we can get stevie up here and it takes about 35 seconds for someone to start playing and it was because stevie was plugging in and those licks you say buddy is playing he NEVER plays that way he doesnt have that stevie intensity in his playing and when buddy says how about stevie ray vaughan why does it sound like stevie is playing but you say it is buddy i know you wrong on this
Search YouTube for "Still Called The Blues (Live & Rare)". This is the opening song played by Buddy Guy without SRV on stage. The sound is not good but you should be able to hear the guitar playing style. That is Buddy Guy warming up. Buddy turned it on once he had SRV in his flytrap. As good a guitarist as SRV was, Buddy can play live in a different universe.
Second, I’ve heard Buddy Guy perform live many times (at his club in Chicago, concerts, 10 official bootlegs, etc.). Third, SRV does not play that way and he is too respectful to upstage the older Blues guys (e.g., the Albert King CD). Except in this case, even SRV at his best would not have been able to upstage Buddy’s heavy playing. Buddy is known to upstage great guitarists on stage. Fourth, I wrote the Wikipedia article on Buddy Guy, so I probably know what he sounds like.
Vickrules1 & elcottonball: Buddy Guy comes in at 1:22 playing the heavier guitar (left speaker) and then SRV comes in at 2:42 (right speaker). Trust me for 4 reasons. First, I have the entire 56 min session. Buddy opened (without SRV) playing Still Called The Blues BEFORE this Champagne and Reefer song, Buddy’s guitar on the first song is the same guitar style as this second song here (when he invited SRV to the stage).
Long distance call, uh? No Champagne & no reefer when another mule is kicking in your stall...( I suppose that champagne & stuff came later in the jam? Let me jump to 2nd & 3rd vid). Anyway, thanks for that!
@torrity, This was not recorded the day they opened Buddy Guys believe me Buddy Guys was my 2nd home during the late 80's/early 90's. I was at the club the night this was recorded. at one point during the Jam SRV and Buddy faced each other swung their guitars behind their backs hugged each other and played each others guitar what Showman ship !!!
WTF - 41k views but part 2 & 3 only have 3k... but the thing is that means almost all the people that listened to part 2, listened to part 3. PEOPLE, this video does not end here. Expand the description for the links!
@daveblisss actually Stevie comes in at 1:22 and it is Stevie who is playing the heavier licks trust me i know what buddy sounds like and I know what Stevie sounds like and it is Stevie coming in at 1:22
One fun part of the clip is from 6:30 to 7:50, when SRV (right speaker) threw licks at Buddy.Guy (left speaker), who then took those licks to Mars, Hell and back. SRV once declared that Buddy "plays from a place that I've never heard anyone play." Wikipedia has a nice article on Buddy Guy.
It is buddy guy who is playing the heavier and crazier guitar licks, not stevie ray vaughan. This jam was on buddy's birthday in 1989. Buddy starts off the song, then Stevie comes in at 2:42. This tells you what the two guitarists sound like.

Stevie's playing here is unlike any other performance I've ever heard. There's so much more distortion and, as Buddy would describe it, a funky blues feel, totally outside of his normal licks. And yet he absolutely nails this kind of playing, too. Unbelievable.
Buddy, Eric, Jeff Beck, just to name three of MANY that said SRV WAS THE BEST EVER !! No Stevie didn't create the BLUES,, he just brought it back from near death ! Anyone saying Stevie wasn't original doesn't know much ! ALL guitarists copy styles, licks, riffs, Buddy did it, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, ALL DID!
but the GREATS change them or add to them and thats how they make them their own !! I see Buddy play every year at legends and he is FANTASTIC,, wish I could of seen Stevie !!
@srvcarl77 SRV: "Buddy can go from one end of the spectrum to another. He can play quieter than anybody I've ever heard, or wilder and louder than anybody I've ever heard. I play pretty loud a lot of times, but Buddy's tones are incredible" wikipedia. Find what Clapton has to say about Buddy, or anybody else, and refrain from "BEST EVERs"
@mattross1 Well Clapton said the SAME about Stevie Ray Vaughan! so what you gonna do now?? Buddy Is great, I see him at Legends in Chicago !! But TECHNICALLY speaking, Stevie is MUCH more cleaner, faster, and smoother than Buddy ! its just that simple!! So I WILL continue to say that to ME ( I don't care what YOU think !!!) TO ME STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE BEST EVER !! He just had the TOTAL PACKAGE !! and others on here seem to agree, some don't!! That's life !!
@srvcarl77 the best ever what? I saw Jeff beck and Stevie Ray Vaughn at Madison square garden. It was embarassing to watch a bar room guitar player(SRV) on stage with a virtuoso like Jeff beck. srvcarl77 you obviously don't play guitar if you did you would not have made such a statement.
@fleckfor Its clear YOU don't have a clue, To call Stevie a bar room player just proves YOU just don't know ANYTHING !!! Why is SRV voted in the TOP TEN guitarist OF ALL TIME ??? Guitar Mag, Guitar Player, Yes I do play guitar, if I do or don't it doesn't matter anyway, what only guitar players know what SOUNDS GOOD ?? Your such a dumb shit that I refuse to comment to you anymore, its a waste of time and my time is TOO valuable !! Your a fool and your opinion means nothing to ANY SRV FAN!
@fleckfor I think it's improper to pick one person and say he or she is the best guitar player because they all are individuals with their own identity and influences that make their signature way of playing. They all have a special or certain way of playing that just cant be reproduced by anyone else no matter how hard they try to copy or imitate because what they play is theirs and theirs alone that no-one can take away from them! With this said the issue about best player ever is solved but
@fleckfor I have a bone to pick about the comment you made about SRV being a bar player! Yes SRV was and started as a bar player like all famous previous and present have done, whats wrong with being a bar player? Thats where it's real, players trying to make a living doing what they love to do there is no bull shit I'm famous now attitude, playing in a bar is real as it gets! In response to your comment about seeing Jeff Beck, Yes I've seen him play live too and yes he is very good but
@fleckfor Jeff beck never has and never will move me and fill my heart with so much emotion by watching and hearing him play as SRV did and will continue till my dying day! To be honest with you Jeff Beck and his wammy bar tricks and weird noises just doesnt do it for me, yes it takes talent and skill to do that but wammy bar tricks dont weigh an ounce compared to the soulful way SRV plays (SRV played emotions and feelings not notes). Besides, who the fuck are you fleckfor to be judging
@ragingstorm33 It's spelled you're not your, you stupid fucking moron! I could care less about a jeff beck song, in fact i got a few of his cds that sit in a box along with the other category crap music that hasn't and wont inspire me at all musically! I dont get what all the hype about Beck is about ? Yes he is a talented musician but there are too many old school famous artist's names that come wayyy before Beck will ever come to my mind...Buddy Guy since this post is in this vid clip BB and
@ragingstorm33 Albert and Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, ect. ect and the list goes on and on even before i even consider Beck on the list, and of course SRV comes up too...wayyyy before Beck, hell Id even think of Clapton before i think of Beck anyday!
@fleckfor other players, especially famous players that made it not like you! I went to your site and view a couple of your vids and i sat here and watch you play and just laughed so hard, a hobby guitarist like you to think he can judge and make comments and call SRV a bar player LOL! Well you know what? You cant even make it as a bar band in fact you sounded likea garage band to me, you call that sorry attempt at copying other's music playing? You spit on Cream with such injustice with that
@fleckfor performance, if you are going to try to copy note per note at least try and capture some of the emotion in your playing of which I never saw...In fact i saw no Identity in your playing at all. And I could care less about...what guitar with a tremolo you play, its not the guitar its your playing ( you sures as hell not even near a bar player), so I think it's highly inappropriate for a hobby garage band player to judge and make a comment and call someone who has influenced so many
@fleckfor loved by so many fans! So, until you become famous and can actually play worth even a bar band status and can impress in your videos with some real talent keep your worthless judgments to yourself!!!
buddy was definitely first... and i guess since he was an influence you could say that he's better... but... you CAN NOT SAY THAT HIS LICKS ARE BETTER THAN SRV! SRV took what buddy and hendrix started and ran with it... SRV is the BEST at playing this style of blues... absolutely no question about it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow. the controversy continues. I like stevie, but he really only had a few tunes I really liked and his playing seemed robotic sometimes. Not to say BUddy is perfect, but he he is so sick most of the time. Stevie was was great but he never had the voice, presence or pure funk that Guy has
@nineveh420 ........why not abandon the comparisons and just enjoy what each artist has to offer, drink another beer and do another shot, let your mind roam.. later.
With all that being said, I totally agree that Buddy has the energy and a great voice for the blues, but seriously, anybody who isn't influenced by him is a moron? That is really stupid from you. Buddy ain't the only blues cat out there, he is great, but not the only one to take an inspiration from. Generally if you ask me, Buddy is great, but never was that great as Stevie, he even said for Stevie: "The greatest friend I ever had and the greatest guitar player I ever heard"!
It's an opinion...I'd say that I like Buddy a little better. I mean Stevie is really good, he's got these funky little licks and a great voice but like he gets a little repetitive sometimes plus Buddy is so more hectic and really moves me a lot more. Again, just my opinion. I do think its funny that we all argue who is the best guitarist, when the people we are arguing over couldn't care less; they just like playin.
God knows I love Stevie..First heard him in my friends room when I was 15 .He changed he direction of my guitar playing and is still the standard to me.But through Stevie I discovered Buddy Guy and I learned where it all came from.I think from Hubert Sumlin to Buddy to Stevie...just my theory.

I dont even try to figure out who the best is, all the greats are unique in their own way and they never sat around saying who was best they just played or play their asses off every time they pick up the guitar. Good music is good music regardless whose playing it.

Who cares who's best? I enjoy the hell out of Stevie's playing, it was consistent and comfortable and could be quite moving.
Saying who is best on guitar is like saying who looks best in a bikini at South Beach, it's just not possible.

No, Jeff Beck, SRV, BG was a different date. SRV and JB played Chicago on tour together I think. Then they dropped by Buddy Guy's Legends club to jam with BG. I found the JB quote in one of his interviews, so I put in in my Wikipedia article on BG. Now it's gone viral, lol.

@daveblisss ok im not talking about that what you have to understand is buddy guy has never played like that i have seen him quiet a bit of his shows he doesnt play those licks buddy has his style and srv had his. and @ 1:23 that is srv style guitar NOT buddy guy its common sense.
vickrules1 1 year ago
@vickrules1 Trust me, you do not know what Buddy is capable of playing. My entire album proves BG started solo playing a similar style (he took it to another level later with SRV). BG plays with more diverse styles in his Legends club in Chicago in January than he does on tour. Read my article on Buddy Guy in wikipedi.org. Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman knows BG’s capability: “Such is Buddy’s mastery of the guitar that there is virtually no guitarist that he cannot imitate.”

@vickrules1 Send me your email and address. When I have time, I'll burn and send you a CD of bootleg tracks from Buddy's Legends shows that will broaden your knowledge of Buddy's styles and licks -- stuff you have probably not heard before..
Go buy the album of this jam session. Listen on a stereo setting. Buddy's guitar was on the left channel even before SRV came on stage. Buddy's guitar remains on the left channel while SRV's guitar is on the right channel. What does common sense tell you?

@daveblisss but if you listen to buddy's tone in the very begging of the video it is the same tone that goes on through the song but @ 1:23 a whole new tone comes in and then it goes back to buddy's tone which means it has to be buddy unless it just magically changed and the lick that starts @2:15 to 2:26 stevie played that alot and i have never heard Buddy ever play that in a song and i have seen ALOT of his videos
vickrules1 1 year ago
@vickrules1 Your logic is Buddy played at the beginning of song, then at 1:23 SRV started playing, then Buddy came back at 2:41. However 2:41 is a new guitar for the first time -- itt is SRV playing for the first time (he’s not warmed up). My friend, I have the entire album of that night, of which this song is track 2. I know how Buddy’s guitar sounded on track 1 alone, without SRV on stage. I also have many official bootlegs off Buddy Guy. I have heard a lot of him, he can play this way.

@vickrules1 the simple way to determine who is playing what is to hear it thru left and right speakers. Buddy's guitar is skewed to the left speaker and SRV's guitar is skewed on the right speaker. On track 1 in the album (this song here is track 2), Buddy's guitar is weighted on the left speaker as well. There, argument solved. Do not reply until you have hooked up L & R speakers to your computer and listen to this song in stereo.

@vickrules1 I'm very sorry, but there is not a chance in hell, heaven & the universe that is SRV. The crazier & heavier guitar is Buddy Guy. I have heard Buddy play a lot both live at his club and his official bootlegs from his club performances. Second, it is Buddy's club so the guitars are set up perfectly for him, not for SRV. As well, Buddy had already played at least one song on his own in a similar style. SRV needed a few minutes to get warmed up. Buddy loves to upstage people he jams with

Vickrules1: Buddy Guy plays the heavier and crazier guitar in this Champagne and Reefer clip. It is just common sense. This jam was at Buddy's own club and stage. So of course Buddy's technicians set up his guitars, pedals and soundboard perfectly for him. However, SRV flew in after his gig with only his guitar to Buddy's Club. If SRV or any great guitarist just plugged in and started playing in an unfamiliar stage without his technician, they are unlikely to sound that great.
daveblisss 1 year ago
Vickrules1: In Sweet Home Chicago (Alpine Valley), compare SRV’s solo at 4:41 – 5:40 (Part 1 clip) with Buddy’s solo at 3:09 – 3:57 (Part 2 clip) which excited the crowd. Both solos excellent in different ways -- Buddy was more free form and emotional like Picasso and Van Gogh, while SRV is more like popular and realist like Michaelangelo and Rembrandt. Buddy is a whole different class of artistic blues thinking that SRV does not have and cannot play, while SRV is (RELATIVELY) more pop blues
daveblisss 1 year ago
Daveblisss you are 100% right that is buddy at 2:50-3:09 on sweet home chicago but listen around 4:41 when stevie comes in and tears it up im just saying man honestly SRV is the better guitar player i love buddy but there is a whole different level of playing with those 2 and SRV was in a class of his own that buddy just can't get in.
vickrules1 1 year ago
Also listen to this Buddy Guy instrumental "Rememberin' Stevie" (Damn Right I've Got The Bkues) since it was dedicated to SRV.
As well, listen to Cut You Loose (Bring Em' In); I've Gotta Try You Girl (Sweet Tea); Blues At My Baby's House (D.J. Play My Blues); Someone Else Is Steppin' In (Slippin' In); She's A Superstar (Feels Like Rain); etc etc etc
daveblisss 1 year ago
Vickrules1: Because Buddy Guy starts and dictates the jam at an intense level, it is understandable that SRV (who just flew in from a gig with his guitar) initially cannot keep up. SRV needed a bit of time to settle in and get into the flow.
You obviously haven’t heard enough Buddy Guy.live. I have dozens of better Buddy solos than SRV’s Leave My Little Girl Alone. E.g., I Smell A Rat (Stone Crazy), Love Her With A Feeling (Slippin’ In), Let Me Love You Baby (Live The Real Deal), etc etc etc
daveblisss 1 year ago
Sweet Home Chicago at Alpine Valley was played by the 5 guitarists taking turns to solo or highlight. Buddy Guy, for example, plays at 2:50 (then he sings) and again at 3:09 (Part 2) in his distinctive bends and staccato style. I hope you are not going to claim that is SRV, lol. If so, you need to learn about other blues masters. On youtube you can listen to Buddy Guy play Sweet Home Chicago at Clapton’s Crossroads and also at Houston, though I’ve heard better Buddy do better with that song.
daveblisss 1 year ago
Daveblisss dont say stevie cant keep up go listen to his version of leave my little girl alone at Austin City Limits and tell me he cant keep up that solo is better than any of buddy guy's or listen to stevie on sweet home chicago the last song he ever played it was freakish but im sure you'll say it was buddy playing.

Vickrules1: dude, you ASSUMIE "huge ass tone that can ONLY be Stevie Ray Vaughan.”
SRV himself declared that Buddy Guy "plays from a place that I've never heard anyone play. Buddy can go from one end of the spectrum to another. He can play quieter than anybody I've ever heard, or wilder and louder than anybody I've ever heard. I play pretty loud a lot of times, but Buddy's tones are incredible…he pulls such emotion out of so little volume. Buddy just has this cool feel to everything he does.”
daveblisss 1 year ago
Vickrules1, dude, I have the ENTIRE recording, including Track 1 BEFORE this Champagne and Reefer (Track 2). Buddy Guy uses the SAME guitar and tone style without SRV on Track 1 BEFORE Track 2 with the huge ass tone.
SRV DOES NOT think or play in this style -- he is too clean, flowing and fluent. That’s why SRV initially could not keep up. Buddy Guy CAN think and play in that style -- he used a similarly heavy style covering Red House in the album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

vickrules1 1 year ago
Vickrules1. You are wrong. First, I have the full 56 minute album. If you listened to the whole album you would probably agree with me. Your assumptions are based on this clip, which on the album is track 2 Champagne and Reefer (where Buddy invites SRV to stage). Buddy Guy plays without SRV on track 1 It’s Still Called The Blues -- Buddy’s distinct guitar, sound and playing style in track 1 continues into track 2, where he just gets heavier and crazier as he jams with SRV.
daveblisss 1 year ago
Second, in stereo, Buddy’s guitar is biased to the left speaker in track 1 and 2 onwards. SRV’s guitar is biased to the right speaker in track 2 onwards. Third, Buddy played both before (29 to 44) and after (55 to 1:00) he said “lets see if we can get stevie up here” (47 to 52), and then continued playing again at 1:22 (the same guitar, coming from the same left speaker). Buddy simply waited so that SRV could listen to his licks and follow him.
daveblisss 1 year ago
Fourth, Buddy said “how bout SRV” just after SRV played his licks (after that Buddy played his heavier licks).
Fifth, Buddy is able to play that style and many other styles not on his studio recordings. You will be amazed what Buddy can do live if you listen to my many bootlegs off the soundboard from his Legends club. It is sad that Buddy Guy is being insulted by the assumption that it is SRV playing. Shows how little is known about the great blues masters outside of SRV.
daveblisss 1 year ago
@ Dave Bliss i swear to you that is stevie buddy cannot play that way and by the way why does buddy say lets see if we can get stevie up here and it takes about 35 seconds for someone to start playing and it was because stevie was plugging in and those licks you say buddy is playing he NEVER plays that way he doesnt have that stevie intensity in his playing and when buddy says how about stevie ray vaughan why does it sound like stevie is playing but you say it is buddy i know you wrong on this
vickrules1 1 year ago
Search YouTube for "Still Called The Blues (Live & Rare)". This is the opening song played by Buddy Guy without SRV on stage. The sound is not good but you should be able to hear the guitar playing style. That is Buddy Guy warming up. Buddy turned it on once he had SRV in his flytrap. As good a guitarist as SRV was, Buddy can play live in a different universe.

Second, I’ve heard Buddy Guy perform live many times (at his club in Chicago, concerts, 10 official bootlegs, etc.). Third, SRV does not play that way and he is too respectful to upstage the older Blues guys (e.g., the Albert King CD). Except in this case, even SRV at his best would not have been able to upstage Buddy’s heavy playing. Buddy is known to upstage great guitarists on stage. Fourth, I wrote the Wikipedia article on Buddy Guy, so I probably know what he sounds like.

Vickrules1 & elcottonball: Buddy Guy comes in at 1:22 playing the heavier guitar (left speaker) and then SRV comes in at 2:42 (right speaker). Trust me for 4 reasons. First, I have the entire 56 min session. Buddy opened (without SRV) playing Still Called The Blues BEFORE this Champagne and Reefer song, Buddy’s guitar on the first song is the same guitar style as this second song here (when he invited SRV to the stage).

One fun part of the clip is from 6:30 to 7:50, when SRV (right speaker) threw licks at Buddy.Guy (left speaker), who then took those licks to Mars, Hell and back. SRV once declared that Buddy "plays from a place that I've never heard anyone play." Wikipedia has a nice article on Buddy Guy.

Stevie's playing here is unlike any other performance I've ever heard. There's so much more distortion and, as Buddy would describe it, a funky blues feel, totally outside of his normal licks. And yet he absolutely nails this kind of playing, too. Unbelievable.

Well you know what? You cant even make it as a bar band in fact you sounded likea garage band to me, you call that sorry attempt at copying other's music playing? You spit on Cream with such injustice with that

@fleckfor performance, if you are going to try to copy note per note at least try and capture some of the emotion in your playing of which I never saw...In fact i saw no Identity in your playing at all. And I could care less about...what guitar with a tremolo you play, its not the guitar its your playing ( you sures as hell not even near a bar player), so I think it's highly inappropriate for a hobby garage band player to judge and make a comment and call someone who has influenced so many

@fleckfor loved by so many fans! So, until you become famous and can actually play worth even a bar band status and can impress in your videos with some real talent keep your worthless judgments to yourself!!!

buddy was definitely first... and i guess since he was an influence you could say that he's better... but... you CAN NOT SAY THAT HIS LICKS ARE BETTER THAN SRV! SRV took what buddy and hendrix started and ran with it... SRV is the BEST at playing this style of blues... absolutely no question about it

This comment has received too many negative votes show
wow. the controversy continues. I like stevie, but he really only had a few tunes I really liked and his playing seemed robotic sometimes. Not to say BUddy is perfect, but he he is so sick most of the time. Stevie was was great but he never had the voice, presence or pure funk that Guy has

With all that being said, I totally agree that Buddy has the energy and a great voice for the blues, but seriously, anybody who isn't influenced by him is a moron? That is really stupid from you. Buddy ain't the only blues cat out there, he is great, but not the only one to take an inspiration from. Generally if you ask me, Buddy is great, but never was that great as Stevie, he even said for Stevie: "The greatest friend I ever had and the greatest guitar player I ever heard"!

It's an opinion...I'd say that I like Buddy a little better. I mean Stevie is really good, he's got these funky little licks and a great voice but like he gets a little repetitive sometimes plus Buddy is so more hectic and really moves me a lot more. Again, just my opinion. I do think its funny that we all argue who is the best guitarist, when the people we are arguing over couldn't care less; they just like playin.
