Peter Green Style Improvisation - 1956 Goldtop

[Moshpith]

Very, very nice. Old school tone, old school soul. What the fuck can't I hear this all over like it used to be? Keep giving the gospel out.

[Nimrod399]

Awesome! The Danny Kirwan influence is crystal clear!!!

A man after my own heart!

Great Job!!!

[CDNBOBify]

amazing playing and tone...........

[skydog46]

This is my favorite of all your videos Johnny.....man, as much as I love the replica....this guitar is incredible sounding!!!!!

[johnbeloe]

@skydog46 cheers...thanks, yeah I think the goldtop sounds great here...think alot of the tone came from hitting the amp so hard amp was on nearly max, and then hit with two boosts - a maxed BSM treble boost and a nearly maxed tube screamer set mostly as a clean boost - I remember the valves were spitting!!

[hellswinter]

more like gary moore than peter green, but good stuff

[clean3]

Leaning into the notes a bit to much.

[9012jive]

try to be more sparing with your licks.....remember....peter was very understated....less is more....but you'll get there, and it feels great when you do.

[Bleadbelly1]

Watched you coming along over the last 1 1/2 years John and your going great guns mate

Lovely Peter Green tones which get better & better

Keep it up (Let me know how you got that tone PPPLeeassee)

[johnbeloe]

thanks - Amp is Cornell Romany Plus with a celestion alnico blue. Amp pretty high up and being VERY heavily boosted with a bsm velvet treble boost on about 3/4 and a BYOC clay jones type tubescreamer.

[MorroccoM13]

very nice

[leftystrat62]

John,did you get rid of your other cornell for this one?  I always loved the sound of the p-90's in a gold top-great combo.

[johnbeloe]

@leftystrat62 yep - needed the money for the guitar...and downsizing the amp provided some of that!

[johnbeloe]

thanks - had this guitar about 4 months probably

[raybede]

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

[johnbeloe]

hey thanks alot man - let me know if you cross the pond!

[sam19851]

Nice guitar you have dude. Liked the playing very much.

Peace out

[leftystrat62]

I haven't checked out your videos in a while-your playing has most certainly improved. Great tone,I really liked your phrasing,and there was enough space to enjoy it all. Great job. Cheers

[cl0udtop]

lots of character in that tone. very expressive playing too.

nice work!

[tonetowne67]

Wow! 3 years? Either you have an excellent practice regimen (if so, please share!) or you are a natural talent. Or both? Just sounds great!

[johnbeloe]

thanks - practice regime consists of continually improving when ever I get the chance to all my favorite blues guitarists. I almost never try and learn any song as it was played, because I find it cramps my personal style and prevents me form feeling the music as well. cheers, JB

[sportsportsport]

Peter Green has the best bending and vibrato I have ever heard.. along with gary moore and jeff beck..... But I don't hear you bending much like peter green? i love it though!.....

[johnbeloe]

thanks - its more just inspired by peter green...I wasn't trying to copy his style exactly - we always sound like ourselves! I agree with you about peter's vibrato - unbelievable!

[sportsportsport]

Yeah it wasn't a dig... Just from the title I expected some peter green style bending.. but you're right we all have our own nuances which seperate us from others even when covering someone else's style...!!!!!

[johnbeloe]

no worries - don't worry I never thought it was a dig :)

[lespaul10]

5 stars JB........kickass tone and playing!!

[johnbeloe]

thanks alot phil

[cvguitars]

Very nice! For 3 years playing, you definitely have touch and talent. Keep it up!

[johnbeloe]

thanks

[Noitpure]

The fact that you've only been playing 3 years is stunning!!! I've been playing 25+ years and you blow me away! Killer playing and tone!!!! Excellent job. Cheers, T

[johnbeloe]

thanks very much - your very kind!
