Peter Green

[M29]

Does this have a (Black Magic Woman) feel to you?





What a sound!

I am unable to get the clip.

Solo performance by mr.Green

"Then Play On" is still on my playlist. Never got tired of it.

Yeah, I loved Peter Green in Mayall's band and the early Fleetwood Mack.

HOW does he get that sustain?!

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Peter Green is in my top 5.

 

[tjcurtin1]

NO, I'm serious - any ideas how he got that sustain (other than by playing a LP)?

 

[sumitomo]

Yea the sustain was great on that first cut.I always like listen to Peter for his phrasing and also to Danny Kirnans who played with him they were a good duo.Sumi

Same way that Gary Moore does for Parisinne Walkways " There is a sweet spot in front of the amp that if you stand in any amp turned up will feed back all night, I mark it up and just make sure that I'm standing there when I hit that note"

If you look closely in the second clip you can see that the guitar he is playing IS the famous Lemon Drop. It still had a lot of it's burst way back then. You can tell by the neck pickup being upside down. It is amazing when you think about these famous guitarists kept their NO. 1 guitars for years. I can tell you that with the DD20 and and my Les Paul Standard and my marshall combo or even my 65 Deluxe I can approach that sustain and tone. Of course it is only for a note or two. LOL

Cool, thanks!
