Jimi Hendrix = Buddy Guy?
For me they are almost the same, everytime i listen to buddy i just hear hendrix with less energy, just listen.
For some reason this is annoying the hell out of me. Buddy If you wouldn't see the video the beginning would be 100% hendrix. Even the singing. Jimi I just had to point it out, i'm sure you all know, but every song just sounds the same. |

Yeah, I'm gonna have to also go with no. Considering their intent is completely different, and the fact that Buddy Guy was already an established bluesman while Jimi was parachuting out of planes for the airforce, no, no, no. How do you hear any of the psychedelic or rock elements Jimi had in his music, let alone the same use of effects or song structures? Buddy Guy is a straight blues player, Jimi had a lot of other things going for him besides that. Hell, even their phrasing is different. I think you need to listen to more blues, sir.

Buddy Guy copied licks from Jimi Hendrix? Do you know how many licks Hendrix 'copied', by the very nature of playing the blues? Yeah. It's a self referential genre.
Plus, there's the fact that Buddy Guy was one of Hendrix's favourite guitarists. Buddy Guy must have time traveled into the future to steal licks from Jimi. Last edited by Iommianity : 11-08-2012 at 03:42 PM. |

I meant Hendrix copying from Buddy, buddy has some unique licks that other blues guitarists don't use, but Hendrix does. I just think they are similiar. |

This. Jimi idolized Buddy Guy,and I believe they were good friends.Most of the blues players of that era were not in support of Hendrix.They felt his music catered to honkies. |

Well yeah, they both basically always play the same derivative, hippie minor pentatonic/blues licks.
