1- Peter Green Sound - Albatross - Gibson LCPG#252 - Fender Vibroking Amp

Tribute to Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, one of my greatest blues guitar heroes. His tone, touch and feel are extremely sensitive and hard to approach (which I try already my whole life)
I recorded the slide guitar part separated and mixed it to the backing track.
I didnot use effectpedals. I only added some reverb of my video-software.
Special thanks to Larry Corsa (USA) who dit the excellent Peter Green Modifications of the Les Paul Standard Faded.

Kees Dusink is lead/slide guitarist of the Twelve Bar Blues Band (NL)

@kenny7245

I used de reverb of the Vibroking amp and adjusted a little with the audio functions of my video software.

I'm you typical headbanging bone head, but, since I got my epiphone Les Paul standard I looked at some iconic les Paul users and Peter Green came up, since then I've fallen in love with his sound!!! How can I get this sound my self?? Do I just flip my rhythm pick-up upside down?? Or is there more to it??

@SlashGnR54M

i'm afraid that is not enough. you will find info at Youtube by searching for "out of phase pickup"

[SHEMAMAN]

It's probably a Matamp. However, he was keen to play fender, too. The thing is, he was a genius and Gary Moore once remarked how incredible he sounded out of a little Selmer-how it shook the room and sent his spine tingling. Peter was the master of that blues and a bright light with a guitar and any amp. His yearning and skills have never quite been equaled.

@SHEMAMAN Today, I had the opportunitie to play a few hours on the Matamp 2000. It definitely is THE amp of the typical PG sound. Without any complex handlings, all Peter Green sounds came straight out of it. The amp has not enough power for larger venues, So with pain in my heart I decided not to buy him, because its too expensive for use at home only.

@SlashGnR54M An out of phase neck pickup and a nice Fender amp such as a Deluxe Reverb or even a Supersonic 22 will get you close. Peter Green mostly used both pickups on his Les Paul, where the selector switch is in the middle.

beautiful amp!

[SHEMAMAN]

Brother-the matamp is amazing. I've heard the 2000 but at 30 watts, it's pricey and will need miking up even at a loud jam.

I bought a mesa boogie mark 1 reissue, use it on 60 watts and put a jensen tornado jet 100 neodymium speaker. when dialled in correctly, it's possible to get the exact same tone.!

[kenny7245]

well must say you got it right thanks for reply kenny

[TheHumbuckerboy]

@leeyoungun No problems brother.I have now watched the utube clip in question so I have learnt something today! Many thanks.

[leeyoungun]

@TheHumbuckerboy

I am mistaken. Peter says it was a Strat for the "main theme of Albatross with the harmony parts played on the Les Paul"! Search for Peter Greens guitar collection or something like that...it's part 2 of the video, towards the end at around 7:44. It was part of the extras of the Man of The World DVD.

[TheHumbuckerboy]

@leeyoungun I had always thought that Peter played albatross on a Les Paul (because of the film footage of the band) but I remember Gary Moore saying that Greeny probably used a Strat so who knows? It would be interesting to find the Peter Green interview that you have mentioned on utube .
