Both Danny and Peter were so incredible and brutally underrated. Really quite sad what happened to them both.

I'm one of the old Peter Green fans who stopped listening to Fleetwood Mac when he left. He was the one who turned me on to the British blues movement of the sixties and seventies. Other than his virtuoso and emotive guitar playing and his stunningly pure blues vocals; he just seemed to have this special sincerity that radiated from everything he did. He was definitely one of the big ones, just like Stevie Ray Vaughan, where the whole package seemed to be the sum of all numbers and not just the separate parts. Just hearing his distinctive style again has got me covered in goose-flesh.

Peter never gets enough recognition for his extraordinary vocal talents. Such raw emotion in that incredible voice.

Peter was simply the greatest blues player ever

I'm 67 in 25 days, I grew up with Peter Green as my favorite guitarist of all time. LSD and other drugs messed him up and we lost out on his great potential. He came back for an awesome resurgent until his death. This to me was the glory days of Fleetwood Mac. I mean it was his band but he named it after two of his friends and fellow musicians Mick Fleetwood and John McVey and i cried the day the music died. RIP PG.

Had the privilege of seeing Peter play twice in the 60s with Fleetwood Mac..once in a little blues club as they was starting out in 1968 without Danny and again with Danny at a blues festival in 1969...also saw Peter play on his comeback in 1997 at Ronnie Scots in Birmingham...the best blues guitarist we have EVER produced..a true legend...RIP Peter and Danny

Stockholm version is mind blowing. Way better than this

One of my all time favourite solos with so much emotion. Interestingly I swear if you listen with headphones you can hear him singing along with the solo, singing the notes he plays. This would feed in to his ethos of eschewing short licks and instead thinking in phrases while playing, so he can play more fluid lines but he still has to stop playing when he has to breathe. It's an interesting technique that really changes the way you play.

Another very soulful song Peter performed was his cover of a Little Willie John hit, "I Need Your Love So Bad". Green wrote "Black Magic Woman" which was performed by Fleetwood Mac, later covered by Santana and became a huge hit. Peter Green & Mike Bloomfield are two of my favorite guitarists from the 70's.

Currently it belongs to Kirk Hammett who bought it for US$2M!!! you can currently see it live using it a lot. The neck pickup was flipped and out of phase, so had that special single coil like tone in the middle position big part of his distinctive tone in many Fleetwood Mac songs. He plays with Orange and Fender amps mainly.

This has to be his best live performance

This is terrific. Oddly, my favorite electric blues guitar solo ever is Michael Bloomfield's in the Butterfield Blues Band's cover of this same song on the East-West album. It's strange when one thinks about it that two of the greatest blues guitarists ever were urban Jewish guys. I thought you made a very good point at the end of Green's solo here when you said it was raw emotion. He is my favorite British blues guitarist, although Rory Gallagher has his moments. In the each case it was the emotional power that moves these guys to a higher level. To make a jazz comparison, many of the best British guitarists were all about technical brilliance, like Ella Fitzgerald - Beck, Page, Clapton to an extent - whereas Green was Lady Day. It wasn't that he was short on chops, but the music was about pain. He was wonderful,

Thank you, Peter's raw emotion just blue my mind! As the teaches says as he's almost brought to tears to"awesome". I would like to say this is Peter at his best but I say that so many times listening to the Green God.

Without a doubt, the best bluesman of all time

Michael, This is a summary of what I read on Peter Green over the years as a fan. He played mainly a specific 1959 Les Paul “Greeny’ in the early days. There is something known as Peter Green mod. Basically, the rumor goes while tinkering with the guitar he wanted to flip the front pickup cover. When he got the pickup out, he broke it down out of curiosity to see who it worked. When he put it back together it sounded different. Peter liked the sound so he left it. Years later a guitar tech inspected the guitar around the time Peter Green sold it to Gary Moore and it turns out that when Peter was messing with the pickup, he accidentally flipped the magnet when he put it back together which took the guitar out of phase when in the middle position giving it a strat type tone. Rumor is he toggled between front pick and middle position a lot and some songs stay in the middle position. Later years and when I saw him in early 2000’s he only played a strat. Gary Moore hit some hard times and sold Greeny with it eventually ending up in Kirk Hammatt’s hands, who has no plans to sell it. Also, check out Black Magic Woman and Albatross.

Peter, rest peacefully.

Us Green fans understand his pain and the courage it took him to express his demons using his power of his emotions through his fingers. He was an intrevert who had the gift of an alternate way to express his suffering. He is laying his feeling's on stage for all to see and I can feel his tears as he explodes knowing he owes the audience all he can express regardless of the price he will have to pay. His playing is top shelf but his courage is to be applauded. As said "Green is a badass" and rises to his potential as the Green God. Their is no other that effects me the way Peter does.

Goose bumps and tears...

The guitar is a Lee Paul hooked up to a Marshall amp. The guitar is famous for it's tone sound which is said to have had the polarity changed either at the factory or by Peter himself. The guitar is named "Green" and was sold to Kurt Gannett of Bushes Priest fame, the guitar was given to Gary Moore in 1970 for a few hundred dollars as a gift. Kurt Gannett paid two million dollars for the guitar after Gary sold it to a private dealer. Nobody has ever played Green like Peter has especially in this BB King song here. Peter was able to understand the pain of being an outsider due to his Jewish heritage he interprets the mournful tones with a truthfulness that allowed emotion to pour from his fingertips. These attributes that Peter displays is why many original black blues guitarist consider Peter one of a few white men who has endured the pain to be a true blues guitarist. Being a Jew in London was similar to the pain a black man endured in America.

My favorite Peter Green track is The Supernatural, but everything he played was gold to my ears.

I know im late to the video. But im glad to see you got to hear this. Im a guitar teacher in Georgia. Awesome you learned this as your first peter green song. Hes one of my favorite guitar players of all time. Cheers fellow Guitar teacher!

I know this is an old video, but i cant beleive this went under the radar for me...NobodY EVERRRRRR played guitar with so much emotion, like this! You can feel his pain, and the singing is just as good....Its GM F eb D...Then it goes into a 12 bar blues, gm cm d7#9 So that beginning progression, acts like an intro, and then chorus...He was out of his mind for years already when he did this song and it sounds to me he was at his best....I notice he can make the blues svale sound like classical guitar lol...theres a live version where you can hear the crowd sighing and applauding at once, he takes it to another level, B.B. KINg, said out of all the young blues guys, in the 60s coming from london and America, That Peter Green was the only guitar player he ever felt something supernatural from And the only one that gave him the chills! If that doesnt hold water? what does? lol? AMAZINGGGGGGGGG! had a tough life!

BB loved Peter Green's guitar playing
