Buddy Guy dominated the Chicago blues guitar scene, and he was ushered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, yesterday, March 14th, by some pretty decent guitar players themselves - Eric Clapton and B.B. King.

Eric recalled seeing Guy perform as a teenager in England. "He was for me what Elvis was probably like for other people," he said. "My course was set and he was my pilot."
And, said the future lead of rock hall inductees Cream, it got him thinking a trio wasn't a bad format.
"I'm just out of words. I just want to play for you tonight," Guy said, before performing a blood-curdling version of "Damn Right I Got the Blues," then apologizing for playing too loud. King and Clapton flanked him for "Let Me Love You Baby."
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of rock ’n’ roll, the hall brought Bo Diddley in to perform the Bo Diddley beat with fellow guitarists EC ton and Robbie Robertson. Jerry Lee Lewis performed “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” with the house band.
