  • wow, buddy is the Man

  • He makes it look so easy.

    I've been trying to play with that rhythm and feel for years and I ain't even in the ballpark.

    I love Buddy.

  • let me put it this way buddy guy was so good in the 60,s hendix went to see him play and was in awe just look it up on youtube and you will see the video buddy guy is the best blues guitarist alive today along with bb king

  • @supralee Buddy Guy. One of the best guitar players ever. Deal with it. Have a nice icecream too, whatever that means to you.

  • Comment removed

  • this man has zero playing skills i show this video one of the girl he said who is that man who cant play and she is very good in music. i said that this is man who plays that he can play he cant but he can put on show and hide that and most of people need great show not boring clapton like nice play. he is alive that is important all else is matter of taste .

  • @supralee too bad your English is so bad no one can understand you.

  • @shamanjon Christ..make sense will you? You can't write logically in English, that's

    for sure. Don't reply, you're boring and stupid. Buddy Guy is a legend in

    blues. This is a lesson he's giving, not a concert. Stay with Lady Gag gag

    and Britney Spears..more your speed.

  • @supralee <---ENGLISH IS BAD. Maybe you can understand that.

  • @Tbroman HOW I CAN IF U SAY I CANT:)I UNDERSTOOD FROM YOUR NICE COMMENT THAT U AT LEAST ARE BEST OF BEST:)NICE TO MEET YOU:)HERO!

  • I never will understand the fascination with this guy. He is sloppy, inarticulate, and plays at a very amateurish level.JMO

  • @bashfulbrother you will be a Yngwie malsteem fan... :/

  • @bashfulbrother i hope ur jocking

    

  • @nickaidanholden No I'm not jocking (whatever that is), I am also not joking. Buddy guy is the sloppiest blues player on the planet.

    Just because he knows how to play a dorian scale over a 1-4-5 progression and he is black, doesn't mean that he is a blues master.

    Really pay attention to what he is doing. It is slop.

  • @bashfulbrother wow u just proved tht ur an idiot

  • @nickaidanholden Really? I am sorry you are so threatened by someone having a different opinion than you espouse. Are you a musician? If so you wouldn't be so quick to defend his playing.

    Just as a side note, are you unable to spell that, or you're, or you?

  • @bashfulbrother ok sorry i said ur and not you'er i hit the c key when i said joking asshole

    wat i dont get is tht YOU'RE juding him on one bad 1:15 video. and if ur a musician i pretty disappointed

  • @nickaidanholden Actually, I am not judging him on just this vid. I have worked stages with him and others of his level of notoriety, and he just can't hold his own. He is very enigmatic and has a great stage presence. He can get a crowd sitting in the palm of his hand. He is a very, very nice guy, but when you stack him up against BB King, Muddy Waters, Lonnie Brooks, Ry Cooder, even Eric Clapton he doesn't hold up. .

  • @bashfulbrother Interesting, I think a similar way about Clapton! For me he is nothing special, actually I think BBKIng is also overrated (as a player, not as a singer)...as for Buddy, I would rather watch him than any of the others, not so much for his playing (though I think you are going a little too far) but for his amazing voice, great performances and audience interaction...his performance of Skin Deep on the Letterman show is really great from my subjective point of view..

  • @BobMcboyle I will never disagree that he has an amazing stage presence and knows how to put a crowd in the palm of his hand. He is very alive on stage. As far as Clapton and King, they aren't shredders, they are true blues guitar players. BB King has had more influence on blues and rock players than probably anyone else besides Chuck Berry. And you aren't going to like this, but I think that Chuck is sloppy as well.

    Music is like ice cream, you might like strawberry while I like orange.

  • @bashfulbrother yes, I agree...music is in the ear of the beholder and technique is a multi-faceted thing, most people are obsessed with speed, but what about for example rhythmic fluency, dynamic expression etc etc but while music is subjective, as players we can see when non-musicians over-rate a guitar purely from the point of technique...Clapton is a better technician than Buddy, but for me he is pretty bland, vocally and as a player..of course for someone else it's a different reality..

  • @BobMcboyle Yeah, I agree entirely. Music played from the heart is far superior to that which is played by technical perfection.

    I will say that Buddy can really get a crowd going.

    He has a great grin when he plays too.

  • @bashfulbrother so.. you're sayin' chopin played from his ass rather than from his heart?

    *given that his music is pretty "technical"

  • @BobMcboyle Neither is right, they are all a matter of personal taste. If you love Buddy, good. I don't say that he isn't a blues star, I just think his guitar playing could use some work.

    Do me a favor and go check out this vid.

    John Williams - J. Rodrigo - Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez

    He is not a blues player but he is impeccable in precision and articulation. Not one sloppy or muddy note.

  • @BobMcboyle I have to agree with you on Clapton. His main break was that he came out of Great Britain during the first "English Invasion".

    He was in Cream and they were nothing more than a jam band, but they were late 60's.

    All of the the hippie generation loved him, and he just stayed active.

    I do know that he is a blues expert. There isn't a blues song that he doesn't know or is not able to play.

  • Check out this vid. It is the same blues progressions but it is a little more.

    Tommy Emmanuel and Pat Donohue - Blues

  • thanx

  • very cool

  • goooooood, thanx
