The ability to pick at a bass line and the main tune notes for a song at the sane time is something that I've always wanted to do but never could. I always found this ability to be extraordinary. R.I.P. Peter Green, you will be missed by many

[@marvinbnaylor]

Thank you Andy. The key is to practise it very slowly, starting with the bass line, which is the open low string, then add the higher strings.

[@andrewhowe1309]

The first Fleetwood Mac song I ever heard. Still fresh as the first time. RIP Peter Green.

[@GeezerHourBand]

That’s about the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve been learning this song the last few days and wondering how how I could replicate three guitars. You did all of that plus the bass. Chapeaux my friend.

[@harveyjohnny1967]

Absolutely beautiful. You can really feel how this tune came out of a blues background with that driving, insistent bass line.

[@dietmarsimon]

Among the very best versions I'd ever heard. And I heard quite a lot in my long life.

I share the views of the person who 'marvels' at the way people can walk past someone playing/performing so smoothly and professionally and not want to savour the talent Marvin shows in playing such a wonderful song on a tiny amp - no studio effects or mixing - and with such ease. Well done, sir, and RIP the wonderful Peter Green. He would be immensely proud of Marvin's version of one of his classics in this video! Congratulations!
