Biografi
Buddy Guy terlahir sebagai George Guy pada 30 Juni, 1936 di Lettsworth, Lousiana. Dia terlahir dalam lima bersaudara dari pasangan Sam dan Isabel Guy. Saat berumur tujuh tahun, ia memiliki ketertarikan tinggi terhadap musik. Pada usia ini pula ia membuat instrumen swakarya dari sepotong kayu dan jepit rambut yang ia anggap sebuah gitar.[7]
Ketika usianya menginjak 19 tahun, Guy mulai bekerja di Lousiana State University sebagai seorang kustodian. Pada waktu yang sama, ia juga mendapat gitar pertamanya dan mulai bermain di klub-klub sekitar Baton Rouge. Walaupun ia terus meningkatkan kemampuan bermusiknya, ia hanya baru memulai karier bermusiknya pada musim panas tahun 1957.[7]
