There's the Greats...and there's the Nobody's...It's still easy to tell which is which, especially on Noob Tube...D/.
they dont sound like a real one.
I always though Buddy had the best blues chops of all the players - including SRV. Buddy has like superhuman fingers. JMO though.
Don't be yet another idiot who equates sales figures with whether something is good or not. The airwaves are clogged with music that sells millions and is complete shit.
slowhand was a good album. Layla and other assorted love songs too. I would still agree that E.C`s best years were with cream.
Yeah man! so many guitarists forget that... also, many people look down at penatonic scales and people who use them.. Eric Clapton could of easily been able to play other notes if he wanted, do they really think that he just isn't good enough to play other notes? I actually started with full scales and went to penatonics because i love the sound of them, their all i want to use and i want to learn to use them to their full ability
clapton ays he's gotten worse, but some of his best solos were in the past 20 years. just look up Eric Clapton Solo, on here and youll find an awesome solo from I shot the sherriff at the first crossroads festival. Jeff beck is still fantastic. Bb King has gotten worse but hes still good and kept it up perfectly up until he was like 80.. I think Eddie van halens gotten better in some ways but worse in others.. and i never seen jimmy page solo while hes had gray hair..
Lol i don't entirely aggree with that but that doesn't make it any less hilarious to me
Buddy's not about amps much. He loved the 1971 Ovation 50-watt solid-state keyboard amp (15" w/horn) I set him up with for a Winterland gig when his amp got stolen. And of course, he sounded great through it as he always does. Though it did give him a little extra hard-edged Albert King bite! I bet a lot of kids ran out and bought one the next day. "So THAT'S how he sounds like that!" hehe Buddy would sound like Buddy through a First Act 10 watt Toys R Us special. Buddy just IS, baby. Da Man.
but i like my coffee black and clapton's solo stuff...
I drink coffee black, because I'm cool.
Except Beck just sits around tuning hot rods all day haha.
It ain't the speed of the playing, it's the selection of notes and the phrasing. I find the Satriani's and the like incredibly B O R I N G.... ZZZZZzzzzzz......
Amp sounds too clean to sing the blues.
people get older. they usually lose some ability (except maybe beck). no matter our interests the body and mind absorbs less as you get older and sheds some information and skills. but, your all missing the point.
why are YOU getting so aggressive/defensive and CONSTANTLY using CAPITALS to emphasise YOUR POINT? I'm not saying he's not popular, i'm simply expressing my opinion, which i forgot i'm not allowed to do because of members of the internet stasi like yourself stopping me.
very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agreed, but nonetheless, he didn't sound good in this vid
Your missing the point YOU can think he sucks all you want but, wherever he plays HE SELLS OUT THE VENUE, and those songs that YOU dont like, has sold MILLIONS, so as it turns out he doesn't need your support
i know, i completely agree with you in that respect. HOWEVER, i don't even think his songs are that good; in all aspects of musicianship i think he's boring as fuck
Well, alot of people can play guitar, but the thing is, CAN YOU WRITE SONGS THAT SELL MILLIONS, ya see your average everyday ordinary joe can play guitar and criticize, but the trick is WRITING SONGS, you can be the best guitar player, but if your songs suck then who cares.
good to know i'm not alone :) i feel arrogant in saying that he's boring because i'm obviously not amazing ahah, but still!
Don't feel bad...I don't get it either.Buddy has made a good living because of top players saying he can play.I find him bland.
NEVER get Buddy Guy to demo an amp. The dude uses solid-state amps for Christ sake. Tin ear.
That's basically what I meant. You know what, though? It finally dawned on me when the suckage began. It was when he switched from Gibson guitars to Fenders. His playing changed overnight; all the fire went out of it. I'm frankly surprised that neither he nor anyone around him has picked up on that.
What about John Mayall and the Yardbirds. Or even Delaney and Bonnie. When he went solo it was all downhill.
Buddy sounds like everyone now. In fact, everyone sounds like everyone now. Too many guitarists.
Watch as Tom Brady tries out this new football, Like any of use will be able to do that just cause why buy the amp lol
Is this Fenders way of trying to get us to Not buy these amps?If so ...Good Job.
asda;slk;alk;alklwak;ldsdd n sdddsddsklak;alw=e
Haha, I got it, don't worry ;D
A clear example of too many razor blades.
i don't drink coffee one way or the other. I think you've missed the point.
Sorry, but black coffee rocks.
I'd love to see you be a better player than Buddy. Go on. Prove it. We'll all judge that.
Clapton is god, Buddy is a tool and a mediocre guitar player with an extremely bad ear for tone and pitch. I am a better player than Buddy is. I wouldn't be surprised if you were too. Not only that, but this video proved the "bluesman" is a fucking sellout as well.
All these comments about how Clapton, Buddy, (insert guitarist) suck are just pitiful. You wonder why music isn't as good as it used to be? It's because people like you are jaded and don't know what music is about anymore. It isn't a sport.
Go shut your mouths and play your guitar more.
So he didn't choose this instead of his fourty years old original amps? LOL advertisment and semiotic... do u wanna play that game?
How dare you, sir...Coffee is just fine without cream.
Yeah, out of all the other Fender amps he could have chosen for this gig that was sponsored by Fender he chose that particular amp.
There's no conspiracy here, move along these aren't the droids you're looking for...
yeh, maybe its just me but i think some of the notes he holds sound flat
I respect your opinion. Maybe if listen more to his playing it will become apparent to me too. Who knows.
Have a good one ;)
yeh i don't mean it that way though. I know BB King isn't the fastet of players, but there's something unique about him. I'm sure there is something unique about Buddy Guy too, but i just can't see it
are you guys crazy? listen to his From the Cradle album. then talk
yeah my thoughts exactly. I listened to Cream the other day and thought, "why the fuck did they ever split up"? wow, so so so much better than eric on his own, which always brings on lots of snoring.
Average in what way? BB King can't play crazy rifs and fast licks either. That doesn't make him any less great.
haha yea he just decided that night hahaha, im sure fender had nothing to do with it lol. gotta love it when they try to bullshit us into thinking it was some random gig and has nothing to do with fender sponsoring the event, marketing etc. souls are for sale cheap these days i guess
I love everything about guitar, improvising, blues, rock etc BUT, i don't, and never will, see why Buddy Guy is so celebrated. i think he just sounds average;
