BUDDY GUY: BLUES GUITAR HERO By Dave Rubin

Ever since the first bona fide blues guitar hero, Lonnie Johnson, recorded a series of amazing duets with Eddie Lang in 1927, the gauntlet has always been thrown down to the tune of, "Okay, let's see you do this!" From T-Bone Walker to Albert and Freddie King, Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, there has been an unmistakable element of machismo. Like the metaphor of the "catfish" that appears in so many classic blues, maybe it has to do with being tough and surviving. George "Buddy" Guy has not only survived longer than many of his main inspirations (like Muddy Waters) and his proteges (like Jimi Hendrix and SRV), but he remains the baddest blues guitarist standing. And as opposed to many of his peers and followers, his brutally-aggressive style is tempered and intensified by dynamic, delicate passages. Now in his seventh decade, Buddy Guy is showing no signs of slowing down. A new fifteen-track album that he co-produced was released in the spring of 2008 and features an all-star cast, including Clapton, Derek Trucks, and Robert Randolph. Also slated to appear is singer Steven Tyler from Aerosmith who "freaked out" when he heard "Show Me the Money," which Guy wrote expressly for him. In January 2008, Martin Scorsese's Rolling Stones documentary, Shine a Light, opened at the 58th Annual Berlin Film Festival, featuring Guy in a sensational guest appearance singing Muddy Waters' "Champagne and Reefer" with Mick Jagger. On top of that, Guy made his dramatic cinematic debut in the flick, In the Electric Mist, starring blues fan Tommy Lee Jones and released in the summer of 2008.

When you moved to Chicago in 1957 to meet Muddy Waters, did you ever imagine that someday you would be the idol of countless others?

No, not at all, because when I came here I didn't even think about being a professional musician. There were so many great ones out there in their prime like Muddy, who had so many great guitar players around him; and Howlin' Wolf, who had Hubert Sumlin, Bobby Bland with Wayne Bennett, and Memphis Slim with Matt Murphy and Earl Hooker was here, too. After I heard them, I said to myself, "What in the hell am I trying to do? There's no way I can play like that." But I was so in love with the guitar that I didn't have sense enough to not keep plucking away at it, and whatever I played, I knew it would be me.

You first made your mark in Chicago at a weekly jam or "cutting session" where the winner would get a bottle of whiskey.

Yes, I think I helped create those when I came here. You know, I was talking to Syl Johnson the other night about that, and he told me, "I was playing jazz then, but someone told me I better check out this little guy from Louisiana, because he's running around stomping the guitar with his feet." And Syl has been playing blues ever since.

What compelled you do those things?

I got that from the late Guitar Slim in Louisiana. I saw him play in Baton Rouge a couple of times before I left, and he was wild! I wanted to be able to shake my wrist like B.B. King and get wild like Guitar Slim, and I was just trying to suck them all in. I was selftaught and I didn't learn from books. So I would say 97-98 percent of the stuff I learned I found it myself by listening...
