- Gentle Giant's guitar player Gary Green on Giant's legacy. Gary appears in the "Romantic Warriors - A Progressive Saga" documentary, a 2010 exploration of the contemporary progressive music scene on the US East Coast. DVD available at www.progdocs.com
here is one of the severely underrated guitar players. In my eyes - he is up there with Fripp, Howe, Page, Belew, and other greats.Only he could implement blues with such grace in GG's massive and complicated canvas.
Hes very skilled, much like the vast majority of the era that you mention, one thing though: Gentle Giant does not apply to the ear of the average listener.
+Daniil Lytovchenko Amen to that
You stated that well. I love Gary Green and have so much respect for the man. He, like the others, was another important and perfect ingredient in a band capable of doing something challenging and palatable. I'm glad their art lives on and that's coming from someone born in 1986!
Totally agree. Anyone who can keep up with Kerry Minnear and Ray Shulman on bass has my respect (being a long-time guitarist). To think that he started out as a blues guitarist is mind boggling, although using some of that blues/rock style along with the insane melodies and counterpoints is what gave GG some grit, like Howe gave Yes some grit (along with Squire's tone). Gentle Giant may never be a household word, but the music is so amazing that it will always live on and inspire new musicians.
Green is a fantastic guitarist!
Gary, you and Gentle Giant were up there with the best! Unfortunately the world wasn't ready for you! Such a shame really.
these gentle giant guys deserve all the well deserved credit they can get.
Deservedly
@@mrbenoit5018 Yes indeed.
Love Gentle Giant and Gary Green's exceptional guitar playing.
Gentle Giant the band itself was also hugely underrated. They were THE leading prog rock group. They have been my favourite band ever since I was accidentally sent a copy of In A Glass House in the wrong sleeve! Needless to say I didn't complain and return it. A gift from God. Rock on guys. Rest in the knowledge that despite the lack of fame you were the best by far.
I love ❤️ the Giant since 75 and always will
I've been a "huge fan of the band" since 1971, when I was a freshman in high school.
Gary Green is all the man we need.
Probably THE most underrated, except by those who know. An incredible inspiration!
Your band has given me countless hours of joy. Its really a musicians band because alot of the material is very complex and reflects the incredible level of musicianship not usually understood or appreciated. That and your all a little bonkers.
I love this guy and his incredible guitar playing ability
I met Gary at the Montreal prog music festival, and SUCH a nice guy, it was like he was my friend after 3 days!!! Met him again 2 years after and he would remember the good times back then. Can you imagine, getting so close to this "mythic band" lead musician.
I've seen Three Friends 3 times since then and everytime was so delightfull. Long live Gentle Giant, long live Three Friends, Long live Gary Green...the most Gentle prog rock icon of history.
One of the best progressive rock guitarist. Take care and hope you Will be back in Montreal
Best band ever that decade or other
Fantastic guitarist! Those of us who have listened to your work throughout the years, really appreciate your craft.
Thank you Gary.
Gentle Giant must be one of my biggest influences as a musician. I remember the time when I began to take writing and recording my own music seriously, and all of Giant's records were on regular rotation! The single most unjustly under-appreciated band I can think of. Timeless!!
I several times read that GG was underrated. But if you think at the huge stream of musicians that was inspirate by those geniuses, the enormous influence they had on prog rock and on many other style, the uncomparable talent as polyinstrumentalist, you finally realize that money or success are just impostors and what really matters is the harvest of loving souls they collect in such short career. Thanks Gary and Ray and Derek and John and Jerry. Love.
Hands down my favorite band.
Thanks Gary! Gentle Giant was one of my favorites and I still have the albums but the 8 track of Octopus is long gone. I still enjoy the music. Thanks so much! I'm glad people have told you how much your music has meant to them.
Great to see Gary. Love his playing. I was actually looking for a good documentary on Gentle Giant. I wonder why the BBC hasn't made one already.
Gary, I love you and the band with full depth of my heart, thank you for music!
I love Gary's solo on The House, The Street, The Room.
Great Gary 👏👏👏👏👏
GG has been a source of ongoing musical inspiration for me ever since I first heard _Three Friends_.
Great guitarist band. Indeed ( can't say "Yes"...), one of the true greats of " Prog=Rock"
Growing up as a musician in New York City in the 70's I was fortunate to catch just about every GG tour of America. ( GG w/ Brand X & Starcastle at the Sheafer Music fest, etcetc ). WHat outstanding shows. Forever grateful for helping hone my drumming/percussion skills. Hope Three Friends makes it out west to Salt Lake City!...
Gary, you'll always have a special place in the hearts of all Italians and you do know why. ;-)
Gentle Giant...The Best! An old fan from Brazil!
I am one of those who where deeply touched by the music of GG. It has always been present in my life, but after starting to study music, listening to GG again made me understand what they were doing at that time, those ultra creative, technical, melodic and catchy grooves in sequences of marvelous albums in a row, and when this all took place made it crazy revolutionary. No band has ever made music so musically inspired as GG did. Long live the Giant.
Miles ahead of everybody.
Yeah ! Top 10 guitarist ! Should be Sir Gary Green , gentlemen, genius all around, all around good guy 🎵
I’m so glad I found him and GG when I was a teenager, some of the discordant bits in their music remind me of modern noise and chaotic punk/hardcore/metal. I’m not even joking lol but aside from that the infectious and dense arrangements they made are still incredibly ambitious yet palatable even in 2021.
A great guitar player, one of the few whose style resonates in your mind forever, and he's right - it's a labor of love basically.
No one had a right leg like Gary Green
Middle leg
Badass guitar player.
My wife and I had breakfast with his that same day. He's an extremely nice man (as well as a great musician).
Fantastic band . Get well soon , Gary .
Not only, man ! Gary had a fundamental role in the GG sound definition & identity. No other band, as far as I know, of such a "short" 10-year life, had enlisted millions of enthusiastic fans as GG.
An absolutely star player.
One of the greatest bands of all time ......no one sounded or composed like them....plus they were doing a 4 channell Quad show at one point .....also doing new studio recording techniques no one was doing at the time...
Iv'e loved this band since the early 70s. check out Simon Dupree and The Big Sound performing a song entitled Kites.[ That's most of the members of Gentle Giant in the 60s].
At 0:04 No they were not an English band. The founders of the band, the Shulman brothers Phil and Derek were born in Glasgow with Ray born when the family had moved down to Portsmouth.
Super Legend!
smoking guitar player
Talk about guitar heroes this guy is never mentioned what a pity but those of us in the know 😜😜😜😜😜
Funny to say GG was for me me, was the best ever group, exep the Beatles, the best band ever.
The last time I went NEARFEST was in 2000.
What I've learned from seeing GG live:
Don't EVER be the opening band for GG. The audience will absolutely trash you and boo you off the stage.
So true. They were an impossibly hard act to follow.
Lane Change Any audience that does such a thing would be better suited to a football game. Nothing displays ignorance so well.
Why oh why did they cut the guitar solo from the studio version of Freehand?
Mr. Counterpoint!
Burnwash lol yeah
Mr. Green, you're supposed to live in England!
Thank you Gary, you have no idea… Well maybe you do know what a huge influence gentle giant has been on myriad of musicians! By the way just out of curiosity is that a 59 Les Paul you played on the 1978 sight and sound recording in London? I have forwarded that recording to every musician I know!
It was a 1960 Standard Gary sold it some years ago.
Where's the rest???????
Where is he?
