Hi

I loved it.

I liked the way he can look away for quite some time and still get the licks and be in tune.

I do seem to remember someone telling me Buddy practiced in the dark, or with his eyes shut at times, probably for the reason above.

Someone else I know, who once saw him playing, told me that Buddy had a conversation with someone on the side of the stage while taking a complete lead break, which he still nailed of course.

Brilliant video....

This is a great video. It not only lets you hear Buddy play but you can see his feet and knees as well. To me this is a good teaching video as well.
