A new PBS 'American Masters' documentary stars guitar legend Buddy Guy.
, Kingfish and Gary Clark Jr. answer the question differently in a new documentary, but all agree that one of the genre’s foundations is fellow guitarist Buddy Guy.
In a phone interview, Guy talked about influencing the British Invasion, white versus black fans and the legacy of the blues.Well, the blues is ignored compared to what used to be. Your big radio stations don’t play blues any more. When I came to Chicago some 60 years ago, all your great blues players were living and playing. They would always tell me, “Try not to never let the blues die.” But I look around and yesterday is gone. Wonder where yesterday went.
My dad gave this guy a couple of dollars and bought me a guitar with two strings on it. I must have been about 15 or 16. It wasn’t no future in it. I just wanted to do something that you couldn’t find nobody else doing. When you found a guitar player back in those days, they were sticking out like a sore thumb., and even B.B. King told me when he first started, they wasn’t making any money.
