nice playing. Green was a bassist 1st. As a bassist myself I think the reason he is hard to imitate is his phrasing. Most guitarists push the beat pretty hard, Green does not, he approaches his guitar like a bass player feels the time, in the pocket or slightly behind.
I can't thank you enough for rekindling my desire to start playing again, a year ago, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you, Thank you for sharing your technical info as to your set-up , as to amp, pedals, pu's, speakers, your take on Peter Green.
His music is so spell like, its magic, I tell ya, hope to see more Peter Green tunes.
Great Job, it shows a lot hard work, has payed off.
Oh yes! Wonderful interpretation of this classic Greeny instrumental. Lovely tone from your les paul. I agree what others have said already about the sustained notes but, what the hell, great playing.
There's a live recording of Fleetwood Mac in Boston that captures the essence of that time altho' Then Play On hadn't been released when I saw them. Jeremy Spencer provided the early RnR covers, Danny Kirwan provided the pop/rock and Peter Green provided the blues.
Absolutly masterful tone! Nice improvisations. Have you got you pick-ups wired similar to Greens? One of his best for sure! And in 67, this song topped Claptons playing!
Thanks, your comment is much appreciated. I used to have a set of pups in this guitar that were in fact "out of phase" in the mid position. I got a great Green tone with that mod.
Lovely playing here, as is your version of "need your love so bad". I think peter recorded the tune with the marshalls cranked up as far as they could go to get the sustain. I read that Gary Moore used some kind of sustainer device on his version.
It's a fair attempt, but you could have a go at a number 'based upon' this one but give youself more scope to really get into it more. The sound is as close as I've heard, very nice tone, very Greeny.
Hey Phil,I don't know what you've been doing different these days,but keep doing it. Your playing really seems to be moving into a whole nother level,and man I really like it. Great playing as always,cheers
Forgiveth him Peter for he knoweth not what he doith..:) Dr. ...you almost always sound better when sporting painters' pants..(.)(.) Was there any (God Forbid) effects pedals snuck in here behind our backs? You NEVER give yourself ENOUGH credit Geeze....your touch and Tone are First Rate & not easily attained until one has invested years upon years with flesh to steel my Brotha.
Thanks Soop........I would love to hear your take on this classic.....I KNOW you coculd nail it just as you nailed that classic "Sunnyside" off Bare Trees.
Dont worry too much about those long sustaining notes, youre great phil but that was a special man and a special guitar.
Also Im hearing something, maybe its room ambience or a very slight reverb added in at editing but Im DIGGING it. I always feel like part of Peter's magic was that he sounded like he was playing in a fog (which is why the super natural was so aptley named) and you definately got a peice of that!
Excellent feel and vibrato. Love the tone your getting. I wish I'd gone JTM45 rather than 5E3 sometimes.... No sin here. Very nice playing! Take care, T
Is this metro 45 clip still with the Golds? Sounds really amazing btw... I'm a metro owner, and LPF member ;-)

Man, that's really lovely tone. Great!
You could have used some amp feedback to sustain these Green notes longer ;)
Can you post a link to a backing tack you have used?

You've done well to capture Peter's sound.
