Peter Green Style Improvisation - 1956 Goldtop

Hey,

If you are watching this because you clicked on the video response, then please remember when rating and commenting that I'm no Aynsley Lister - I've only been playing 3 years, which I suspect is alot less than him!! This is just my interpretation of the same backing track

Had a fair bit of pent up something inside me so just decided to turn up and let rip. Had a quick practice (see other vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRfuS2vzSVw ) and then this is the first and only take, so inevitably there are a few mistakes!

The guitar is my Gibson R6

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.

Mic - crappy inbuilt computer mic in a macbook laptop

Mixdown was done in garageband with a bit of reverb added

Hope you like it,

Cheers

Johnny

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!!

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!

[cl0udtop]

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

nice work!

[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

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...........

[hellswinter]

more like gary moore than peter green, but good stuff

[clean3]

Leaning into the notes a bit to much.

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.
