      Jimi showed respect to those he learned from Buddy, BB and even Mike Bloomfield. He never tried to show them up like he did others (Clapton). Although he didn't mean any disrespect he just wanted to show them how good he was. They knew.

    My Father met Jimi at Madison Square Garden in 1969. The entire encounter probably lasted 15 seconds. He shook my Dad’s hand and my Dad said he was very humble, had huge long thin fingers, smiled at my Dad and less than a year later he was gone.
    RIP Jimi.

    It's nice to see Buddy looking so good and in good shape. I remember seeing him out on Yonge St. in Toronto back in the 70s. He used to come to Toronto quite often and I saw him and Junior Wells at the Brunswick House back then. He was a very cool dude and, at the time probably in the top two or three electric players in the world. The man has a PhD. in the blues.

    • @BitterBosh
      @BitterBosh 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      He played near my town a few years back, & I was blown away. First off, his band was incredible by themselves, & he walked out & all around in the crowd, even up to the top of the bleacher seats I was sitting in, all the while playing brilliantly. Never seen anything like that live. I respect & appreciate the Hell out of blues music, but I don't listen often to it, but Buddy's blues are an exception, he's one of a relative few that can truly make his guitar sing or cry like it's a living, breathing organism. Again, I was mesmerized watching & listening to him play.

    Jimi was a phenomenal guitarist by any standards in the Cosmos.It was hard to believe he was playing the same instrument as other guitarists - it sounded so very different. The first time I saw him, like BB, was as Little Richard's guitarist. As I recall he just sat on his amp and strummed along in a fairly pedestrian manner... he looked very unassuming - almost embarrassed to be there. But Buddy really opened my eyes to what blues guitar was capable of - no wonder Beck calls him God!

    Buddy and B.B. are men that have pioneered a genre that is just as familiar sounding, as it is riveting. These are the true kings of the blues and I can only imagine Jimi's adoration when he met them. B.B met him at a time where Jimi was so shy and quiet. "He didn't drink or smoke then." People always thought of Hendrix as this wild man but that was him performing. Not long prior to Buddy meeting him, he had been the back up band member who didn't even have the courage to sing. Thank God for Chas Chandler taking him to England and promoting him. If not for him, Jimi wouldn't have even gotten big in the states.

I ended up in this little club, at the bar, next to this black guy. I commented how he looked like Buddy Guy, and he smiled and said "Yeah, I get that alot" I said "well, anyone who looks like him I will buy a drink" And I did. We talked, and five minutes later, he got up from his break, went back up on stage and finished his set. It WAS Buddy! lol

I was hanging with him when he did that HUGE memorial jam for Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. at The Generation Club in Greenwich Village, NYC. He told me about Buddy at that time, but I'm sure if he had met him yet...only that if I wanted to get into the blues (and I did) that Buddy Guy was someone I should listen to....

    I've love BB King. and if him and my husband was to stand side-by-side they could pass as twins my husband wasn't musician also! he was a drummer for almost 40 some years. Before he passed. he did he loved BB King just as well. so I know both of them are out there having a good time playing music LOL!!!!!!

    I always thought Buddy carried on the Jimi Hendrix torch for blues, the way he approaches it. I imagine if Jimi were still around, he'd be sounding a lot like Buddy Guy.

    George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues guitarist and singer.
    Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 - May 14, 2015), known professionally as B.B. King, was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later blues electric guitar players.

    BB said that he never spoke to Jimi again after meeting him that one time in Mobile while Jimi was playing in Little Richard's band. He must have forgotten that they jammed together at place in NYC in 1968 called The Generation Club with Paul Butterfield's band. There are recordings of it. BB King introduces the guys that were playing, they did some covers and jammed on the blues for over an hour.

    2:37 B.B. says he asked Jimi when he realized Jimi was a lefty, "Why didn't you change the strings?"
    B.B. must have been confused between Jimi and Albert King because Albert King who was also a lefty was the one who dIdn't change the strings from right handed to left handed. Jimi did change the strings.

    • @bradysheaplays1499

      @God Love he could play it with the strings upside down. That's how he originally learnt it was only later that he did switch the strings around, here's a video with rolling stones n him picking up a strung up righty guitar flipping it and playing just fine. th-cam.com/video/Rqqaw9iN0Js/w-d-xo.html

    These guys have so much music history between them. Real history from when the genuine talent emerged in the US.

Love and Peace and Light and Music. ✌️

    B.B. said Jimi didn't change strings to left-handed ?
    That's a common myth. Jimi DID change the strings over to left-handed !
    Look closely at pictures and the low E is at top... just like right-handed players.
    Also I go to the EMP a lot in seattle and his Woodstock guitar is there (and others) and all are strung for left-handers.

    • @denparrish
      @denparrish 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      just saw this clip and wondered the same thing. I've corrected many people who say Hendrix played a right handed guitar without changing the strings around. Every video I've seen debunks that, I wonder why BB said that?

    • @TacomaPaul
      @TacomaPaul 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dunno... even in old pics of Jimi with "...the Flames" (?)... if you look closely you can see low E at top.

    • @buddinmaplestory
      @buddinmaplestory 9 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Because he could play both ways. It didn't matter if the guitar was configured for right handed or left handed people. Just goes to show how good he was.

    • @denparrish
      @denparrish 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      buddinmaplestory buddinmaplestory - I did some googling and found some posts to back up what you're saying. I am pasting here: James Marshall Hendrix was naturally left-handed but his father, Al, initially tried to force the young James to play right-handed. Al Hendrix reportedly believed playing left-handed was a sign of the devil. Why so? It has its roots in language. “Sinister”, in ancient Latin, means “left” and also “unlucky” - in modern times someone “sinister” is un-trusted or even evil. These linguistic oddities persist. “Right” means “correct” in English, obviously. In French, “gauche” means both “left” and “awkward.” So, even in language, left-handers get a bum deal.
      Jimi Hendrix tended to write right-handed - there are photos of Jimi signing autographs and writing lyrics right-handed. And Jimi did learn to play guitar right-handed, as demanded by his father Al. Jimi modified his first (right-handed) guitars for his natural leftism - restringing and changing the nut. But when Al was around, he felt he had to play a right-handed guitar simply flipped over (treble E at the top). So Jimi taught himself to be “both-handed.”
      Free’s Paul Kossoff, when he was a young guitar salesman in London, once recalled Jimi circa 1967 trying a guitar in the shop where Koss worked, and simply flipping it over so the treble E was closest to his face. And Hendrix still played brilliantly. Maybe all this explains why Jimi could play just about anything on the guitar?

    • @acfiv1421
      @acfiv1421 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dennis Parrish Gary Moore was left-handed, but learned to play right-handed, and continued to play right-handed all the way through his life. Some say that was part of the reason he had so much control and strength in his fretwork, and why his pick hand position always seemed a bit odd, compared to what we normally see.
