I'm sad to hear that Peter Green died today aged 73.

Back in the old days, he played the blues with so much soul. He did not play too many notes, but he played the right ones with great feeling.

I dived a bit deeper in his songs and style when learning to play Albatross 2 years ago.

A little tribute to Peter Green 🎸😪

Wim.

A sweet and mellow tribute to a blues legend. He was indeed the breath and soul of the original Fleetwood Mac ensemble. A brilliant musician. Well played Wim.

I hadn't heard of his passing so thank you for posting this.  His playing was always so soulful and moving.  Probably no song of his demonstrates that soulfulness more than "Supernatural".  It will always be my favorite of his.

Wim, very well played and just a nice tribute.

Need you love so bad! He was tremendous. Always understated - less means more!  A great singer and one of the very best guitarists.

There was a really nice tribute article in Premier Guitar.

 

"Green’s catalog of ’66 to ’70 remains a necessary touchstone for any guitarist seriously interested in exploring foundational British blues—or, simply, blues. Examined chronologically, it illustrates his evolution from hard-core traditionalist to a composer capable of both deep introspection (“Man of the World”) and psychedelic experimentalism (“The Green Manalishi”)."

I'm sorry.  I should have given more than 30 minutes notice.  I got the email about this earlier but didn't think to share until now. 

Jeff McErlain's weekly "Brooklyn Lockdown" YouTube lesson today is titled "Peter Green - Playing the Changes Pt 1".  The Part 1 perhaps indicates there will be another part next week which you can catch live.  For now you should be able to catch Part 1 on the replay.

Beyond a nice tribute I suspect it will be educational.
