Here’s part 1:
(via TGP)
I have been practicing blues playing for a little while, listening to greats, but when I came across Green it changed my whole view (I’m only 27, so couldn’t be aware of Fleetwood Mac during their golden era with Green.)
Green is easily one of the best blues players ever, and in my opinion THE best white blues player. Where Clapton gives you an onslaught of notes, Green leaves space between phrases, and evokes much more emotion in his playing. Green is now my main influence and his style is everything I want to attain as a guitar player.
My favourite tracks are Love That Burns, Stop Messin’ Around, If You Be My Baby, Rollin’ Man, First Train Home, Watch Out, and of course Black Magic Woman.
I have been a fan of Peter Green since the late 60’s. Thanks for letting us know about this series on YouTube!
This is a great story!! When will it be available for United States DVD players? Really want this for my collection.
