One question from a beginner here, wouldn't what you say is the Major Pentatonic scale, actually be the Extended Minor Pentatonic, or are they the same? Love your video btw!
I talked about the subject in my previous video. For example, the notes of C# minor pentatonic are the same as E major pentatonic, the difference is in how you apply the notes
The tone of the Gods, absolutely. But Peter Green had so much more. Phrasing, timing, and, to me, the genius use of space. He never overplayed. He did not feel the need to cram notes into every measure. Silence is music, too, and he embodied that. Need Your Love So Bad, Got A Good Mind to Give Up Living, Jumping at Shadows....so many more. He puts the notes where they need to be, and feels no need to show off with 32nd notes blurring the emotion and cramming the space. He was as good as anyone has ever been. I've seen Hendrix, Clapton, Bloomfield, Beck, Page, BB. Albert, Freddy....a long list of geniuses. No one like Peter Green.
Totally agree with all of it! There was no bullshit with him, he was a very humble man who was very highly respected and liked. Artists cover his songs with utmost respect, and many looked to him which influenced their own playing. You can hear it in numerous bodies of work, a little riff here, a little bend there, you can pick straight away who it belongs to. I don't think there is any greater compliment than that! May he be happy in rock heaven!
You SEEN SEEN them?" Wow! I mean I seen them all on UA-cam, but as a girl growing up in LA I got in the biz in a very small way. I saw at least 2 shows a week for over a decade and I must say, I have pretty good taste I think. Naturally I love Peter Green. I just had to say I love your assessment of his style too. You said it all. You are probably a player as well, I finally decided I would give it a shot...makes me appreciate the greats so much more. I can't get what is in my heart into my hands like these cats. Keep commenting, I will probably see you again, I cruise the comments after I watch a song a few times just to see the reaction and once in a while drop a view or two from my little head.. This guy is trying, bugt blindfolded, I'd know PG anywhere.
Oh, sometimes he crammed it, but when he did it would carry into the next measure/change, and didn't stop when I'd expect it, again, leaving my jaw dropped.
I am still quite sad of his passing recently, but he absolutely retains and holds a strong place in the hearts of musicians of all kinds. A true legend.
First, may Peter Green now find the peace that eluded him in life. RIP Peter. Second, why does the Pilgrim not play in a high profile band and have multiple albums out ? This guy is an excellent guitarist and is so versatile. Could have been a member of the Wrecking Crew. Wish I could really hear him let loose and play. Anyone agree?
Easily my favourite guitar player and one of my favourite songwriters too. Such a soulful and spiritual man. Rest in peace, Peter from one Bethnal Green boy to another.
Peter Green was a true blues legend. A big part of his tone was his legendary les paul which had an out of phase middle position which you hear him use a lot in his solos and lead work and gave him a very brittle sweet and distinctive sound and you can hear that in this video and in his other incredible blues song need your love so bad. Another thing Pilgrim showed here was that he was a very intelligent player. like BB King he never really played very fast even though he was definately capable if you listen to his more rock oriented songs, but he always focused on pure precision, melodies and phrasing and what I preach all the time dynamics. RIP to one of the legends.
Actually he played a strat on Need your love so bad - at least on the one you can see on YT. (There may be another version where he plays his LP; I don't know). But I agree 100% with the sentiment of what you say.
You are a great teacher and player, thank you! I briefly met Peter Green about 10 years ago in a recording studio in London. It was not the best of days for him but such a gentle man. Some years later I held the famous Greeny Les Paul, looking it over, imagining the stories it could tell whilst feeling completely unworthy to play it, despite encouragement to do so. Peter Green moved so many people including me beyond any words. His playing, songs and feel is everything to aim for.
Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his heart, head his fingers and a Higher Power. Peter played with his heart and let his pain flow through his guitar. Peter wanted to feel every note so he would space them so one could feel the pain only his guitar could express. Thanks for giving props to The Green God
PETER GREEN WAS A ABSOLUTE GENIUS A VIRTUOSO ON A GUITAR HE WAS SO VERY , VERY SPECIAL MUSICIAN SO SADLY MISSED NOW AND ALWAYS WILL BE R.I.P. PETER AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING,
I love Green's blues. Must admit that everything he played comes straight from Mr. Blues Boy the King of blues.. BB invented a vocabulary. Green learn it soo well
@@jamesreidngbicol well, yeah.. Hendrix is one of the most influential guitarists nowadays, he led the way from 60' guitarists from John Mayer, included SRV. But SRV "straight blues" vocabulary comes mostly from another King: Albert King. Plus other
When I first pulled up this video, I did that "I'm shocked" thing that you weren't saluting Peter Green on his usual, best known guitar, the Les Paul. I learned 2 things from this vid, Peter Green did, in fact, play a Strat on occasion and I shouldn't be so quick to judge! Pilgrim, your blues chops are impeccable! I knew there was a reason I subscribed to your channel a while back! Thanks!
It was nice to include a clip of Gary Moore talking about Peter Green. For me, Moore is on my top list of favorite guitar players and he was really influenced by Green. In fact, they were friends and he owned Peter Green's Gibson for a while :) I think Kirk Hammet has that guitar now.
Incredible - Mr guitar pilgrim you are so articulate in YOUR description of exactly what makes a GOOD BLUES solo so deep & heartfelt. You describe the effective playing of notes in the two scale mode idioms with an unsurpassed proficiency. Your analazation of using volume texture dynamics in delivering notes on the beat, backbeat, offbeat & rests imparted invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for doing this one. Peter Green completely changed my musical viewpoint. He imparts as much by the silences as the played notes ... He gives you time to get into his groove :) One good example of that is "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" circa 1968. Sweet notes, nice pauses, some high impact rakes, more pauses, etc. Good overall example :)
Thanks Much for this tribute/remembrance about dear, dear Greenie (your second video about him, if I've counted right...1,2 lol ). As always your content is spot on and excellently presented. Nice that you highlighted that he tends to mix up/alternate between major and minor pentatonic scales; and PGs constant flux with dynamics is huge in his playing of course. May I point you to Dave Simpson, another guitarist on the Tube who is very up to speed with PG and has posted a series of nine videos on his channel called 'how to play like Peter Green' in which he demonstrates underlying principles, if you will, of Peter's playing. Dave doesn't give you the fish (well sometimes he does ;) so much as shows you how to go fishing :) Dave is definitely a kindred spirt and if you don't know him, you'll be glad you looked him up. (His recent tribute to Green, an improvisation he plays from his studio, is absolutely super!)
Pilgrim, thanks for the hommage to Peter Green ! I still get teary eyed listening to A Fool No More for the millionth time. What a voice and what a feel that man had.
@@jorgeramirezcamarena4904 Everyone is entitled to their opinion :) You have great taste. I actually didn't mean first as in first place or favourite, I meant first to die. Paul Kossoff from FREE died in 1976, Rory Gallagher died in 1995 and Peter Green in 2020. There's also lots of old Blues legends that I love, and some other guitarists who I admire and have influenced me along the way, but those guys are my main influences.
You've really captured the Peter Green feel, but I've never heard anyone who can really get that clean but cutting tone he perfected. It's all about those '60s valve amps...
Your videos are excellent -- simple style, amazing playing, well-spoken, clearly explained with enthusiasm and energy, well-lit, good audio. You make it look effortless, and of course it isn't, it takes work and planning. Well done!
Nice tribute to the late Peter Green, his gift to the blues, was his creative phrasing utilising long pauses between his sweet and simple blues phrases.
RiP Peter. Very few came close. Thank you for this GP, I particularly like the way you take your hand off the neck, it stops you overplaying, and lets your phrases 'breathe.' "It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play" - Albert Collins (iirc).
Great video GP! Born Peter Allen Greenbaum Oct. 29, 1946. He founded Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in 1967 and left the band in 1970. Most people don't know that he wrote "Black Magic Woman" made famous by Carlos Santana. He was a self taught guitarist who became one of the greatest Blues players of all time & was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998! 👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍
Thanks, Green is a new discovery for me...excellent job scaling down while maintaining proportion...and I can’t see anyone in their right pentatonic mind can give a thumbs down.
Definitely in my top 3 guitarists that inspire me to play. Although i feel even though he was with us for all this time, it feels like he left a long time ago.
PG, best British blues guitarist IMO - Nice video; check out Jumping at Shadows Boston Live : the tension between major/minor is even more intense. RIP PG
Peter Green is the man that taught me that less is more, he could say more with 5 notes than the likes of Malemsteen etc etc can say with a thousand, they just turn my ears off.
What a great tribute. Living through the 1960's was interesting, and the anti-war movement was strong. Peter helped provide the soundtrack for our fight. RIP.
Personally, some of my best work on guitar is what I'm NOT playing....... All kidding aside, building a bit of tension can make or break a solo, just as important as phrasing. Great video Sir, much appreciated. RIP Peter Green, such a talented player.
Hi Pilgrim, Thanks for your great tribute to my favorite guitarist. You do him justice. He checked out a long time ago unfortunately. He was a genius in the day. PS: Love your mantel display.
I messed up a few pickups just to get his sound.... now I do play a lot out of phase and couldn’t do without it. I’ll put the switch in the middle and you can’t help but always play a few riffs that belong to Mr. Green 😃
When Eric Clapton quit from John Mayall's band they replaced him with Petet Green. And people gets mad. They didn't want Peter. And they saw he is so good.
Hi Thom, just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and loving it already, Peter Green was an innovator in the sixties who also had a real soulful singing voice too a wee request from me for a look at Paul Kossoff's playing from the same era stay safe buddy and keep up the good work, cheerio from Glasgow.
It's quite interesting also that Peter used to start his solos quite high up the neck, whereas most guitarists start off low down the neck and build up to the higher notes. Beautiful player.
Almost everyone talking about Peter Green’s beautiful technique ends up talking about morality. He didn’t show off. He knew when to be quiet. His aggression was usually controlled and so on. The technique was, as it often is, the expression of his whole being. Partly for that reason he seems always to have had difficulties about the self-display that most popular forms of music demand and eventually he withdrew from the business. Commonly this is treated as a sign that there was something wrong with him: he was neurotic, or messed up from drugs, or pathologically shy, etc. Well maybe. But I wonder sometimes whether it wasn’t a sign of healthy insight that regarded some aspects of the music business as dangerous and eventually, despite his prodigious gifts, opted out of it. He came back, sure, but in a way that emphasised his concern for being a decent human being first and a famous musician second. I saw him at The Junction in Cambridge England. He sat on a chair to one side of the stage and gave the spotlight to another guitarist in his band. Again, some people say that’s because he’d lost it. But I suspect he was at least in part holding on to what he’d found. Wonderful discussion of his playing, as usual Thom.
Great job man!! You are a teacher of feeling in your playing and I know peter would appreciate how you are explaining his dynamic playing style! What pickups are in this guitar? Nice
When I saw the heading for this video, I was convinced you would be analysing Need your love so bad but the song you chose was equally good. Peter is certainly one of the greats and your impression of him was spot on. Another great blues player of the same time was John Morshead who played with the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation. He has never got much credit.
Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that have had a strange, unpredictable journey, one that led them to complete different places from where they started. Genesis and Jefferson Airplane also come to mind. They make for the best musical stories! : )
I've been following you for a while and I love the way you talk not only with your voice but your hands also. But, who is the Guitar Pilgrim? Where are you from/live? What is your real name? Are you in a band? You need to do a video about yourself. I think it would be very interesting, to me and others too.
Enjoy this video with Extra Resources: ➤ bit.ly/39Nc55c
So good!!! How about a video about the brilliant Rory gallagher as well?

Bye of Italy
Hey there 😊 I came for Greens
And I saw BB kings.. stuff
Btw..you made a marvelous job.. thank you 😊
May he fly high like an albatross for all time.
Amen. Beautifully said.
Why is there a picture of Jeremy Spencer and not Greeny?
I've got a good mind to give up living - Peter Green - Best blues solo ive ever heard.
Totally agree ! The live version is awe inspiring .
Each live edition is a slight variation. And each is wonderful
Since i first heard "Albatross" in either '68 or 9,
i've forever loved Peter Green's musical touch.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...I asked myself once again where did this guy come from...I wanna go there and drink the water.
I love Peter Green’s playing!! Really learnt a lot by listening to him carefully
me too!
I'm in my sixties and have had the pleasure of listening to many great guitarists. For me, it has to be Peter Green. Thank you
Agree. First the great Peter Green, second Mick Bloomfield. Sorry is my opinion. Greetings Steve. By the way "I'm 64 years young" (Buddy Guy words).
Besides Pilgrims abilities as a guitar Player...
I really LOVE his enthusiasm and body language.
Indeed, he's so charismatic and a great teacher
What a great breakdown of what made Peter Green so great. Arguably the most underrated guitarist.
Easily my favourite guitar player and one of my favourite songwriters too.
Such a soulful and spiritual man.
Rest in peace, Peter from one Bethnal Green boy to another.

Stratagem271 So very true
A guitar without a player is silent. It is 100% the player.
Actually he played a strat on Need your love so bad - at least on the one you can see on YT. (There may be another version where he plays his LP; I don't know). But I agree 100% with the sentiment of what you say.

The same sweet spirit of Need your love so bad..
Farewell legend.
I love Green's blues.
Must admit that everything he played comes straight from Mr. Blues Boy the King of blues..
BB invented a vocabulary.
Green learn it soo well
Yeah it's like Hendrix and SRV too
@@jamesreidngbicol well, yeah..
Hendrix is one of the most influential guitarists nowadays, he led the way from 60' guitarists from John Mayer, included SRV.
But SRV "straight blues" vocabulary comes mostly from another King: Albert King.

Til' now, I never knew it was possible to even closely replicate the Green god's sound on a strat!

Thank you for yet another stellar lesson and inspiration. If I could, I would give you ten thumbs up. Really
you have to give a listen to if you let me love you from the boston tea party, peters playing on that song gives me chills
The sustain in Supernatural is amazing

Gotta say...you make the best sense out of how I hear music.
Thanks brother
Best Strat tone on You Tube!
"nasty, pissed-off, minor pentatonic" LOL
Nice job. Big Peter Green. Congratulations from Brazil.
Correction the best British blues guitar player to play American music truly.
Personally, some of my best work on guitar is what I'm NOT playing.......
All kidding aside, building a bit of tension can make or break a solo, just as important as phrasing.
Great video Sir, much appreciated.
RIP Peter Green, such a talented player.
True.
Hi Pilgrim, Thanks for your great tribute to my favorite guitarist. You do him justice. He checked out a long time ago unfortunately. He was a genius in the day. PS: Love your mantel display.

Hey Pilgrim! What a great, Great, GREAT video! Love the way you approach music and teaching. Now, that said, please make Rory Gallagher video. ;)
Love your videos; which I had the motor capability to achieve your playing. I owned guitars for 50 years but still cannot play them.
It's quite interesting also that Peter used to start his solos quite high up the neck, whereas most guitarists start off low down the neck and build up to the higher notes. Beautiful player.
Thank you Pilgrim! Alot of great information here to take as Inspiration for my own blues playing. R.I.P Peter Green!❤
Wonderfull!!! You have a Brilliant tone
Super awesome video, as always. I only learned yesterday of his passing. Thanks again.
The stuff I love the most is his slide. Songs like Coming Home to Stay and Heart Beat Like a Hammer
Harry GW Slide played by Jeremy Spencer in Peters Fleetwood Mac, not by Peter.
Neil Gordon oh well I know that now
Another fabulous one. Much learning.

Great job man!! You are a teacher of feeling in your playing and I know peter would appreciate how you are explaining his dynamic playing style! What pickups are in this guitar? Nice
Albatross is one of my favourite songs...

Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that have had a strange, unpredictable journey, one that led them to complete different places from where they started. Genesis and Jefferson Airplane also come to mind. They make for the best musical stories! : )
Awesome video, man. One of the best I ve ever come across. Thank you!
You have a great sound on your strat :-) have a nice weekend
You've done it again Pilgrim... Great job...! Keep them coming... Well done..!
Played that with feeling! Awesome!
I've been following you for a while and I love the way you talk not only with your voice but your hands also. But, who is the Guitar Pilgrim? Where are you from/live? What is your real name? Are you in a band? You need to do a video about yourself. I think it would be very interesting, to me and others too.
thanks Josh, I recently did Q/A 200k video, be sure to check that one out!
