Fender's new Strat Sessions video is a very special one; a blues legend and one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the scene in the last decade. Buddy Guy knows guitar talent when he sees it, just as he saw it in fans Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page back when he visited London in the '60s to find a new generation entering the blues. Now he sees it in Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram.
The two players are meeting at Buddy's Legends bar in Chicago to talk Strats for the model's ongoing 70th anniversary celebrations, but this feels bigger than that; it's one of the last living original blues icons giving a young player his respect and wisdom. And that admiration coming right back in return.
