I think there's a difference, just like there is a difference between medium and medium-rare with steak there is a difference a generic blues Rocker and the caliber of guitar player such as Stevie Ray Vaughn. Stevie Ray Vaughn was more truer to the blues then the guitarist of the 70's, like say Jimmy Page who used the blues scale as a jumping off point into hard Rock riffs.

If one knew about the Blues one would know Stevie Ray Vaughn style is was heavily influnce by Buddy Guy.

Please don't tell me that Buddy Guy is a generic blues...
