Watch as revered blues legend Buddy Guy sits down for this new documentary series, talking frankly about a wide range of topics – from how he got his start on a 3-string guitar to his close friend Muddy Waters’ last words of advice.
“I wasn’t looking for anything special. All I thought was let me play like BB King and act like Guitar Slim,” says Buddy his own signature tone. He recalls of his times with Muddy Waters: “We used to joke over drinks – ‘If I go before you don’t let the blues die.’”
