Music Vault Archive: Peter Green's Guitar Collection (Part 2)

[@BEN14680]

what a real humble guy.... like all greats rip peter .. a sad loss to the music world to say the least x

[@thomaspick4123]

Ben Hannigan I also get the feeling seeing his later videos. Peter was a humble man, a sweet man. A kind soul.

[@xplaybwoix]

Thus to me is golden footage . You have a musical genius is the truest sense , whose life at one point was lost to drugs. Through off of that .. you see a man here who is correcting the interviewer, focused , passionate and completely aware. If you didn’t know about the drugs and what he went through ,you’d not think it happened . It’s quite astonishing . I’m so glad he not only came out the other side but regained his love and passion . Plus he carried on playing . To me this is all as magical and special as his work with Fleetwood Mac at its genesis RIP you kind unassuming musical legend .

[@buskerbrown9980]

Absolutely spot on!

[@ianharwell7500]

What I like best about these two part interviews is how humble and "matter of fact" Peter is. Like a regular punter in a guitar shop. None of the "full of myself" I'm an all-time great British guitarist (number 58 in "Rolling Stone Magazines" all-time list). Respect and RIP Peter. You did your bit. Thanks

[@captainamerica9353]

Ian Harwell, there are 57 BETTER singers, songwriters and guitarists than Peter Green? As far as that list goes, do they have one that shows what I mentioned? IOW, I'd like to see a ranking of singers, songwriters AND guitar players; chaps who could be a one-man act?

[@ianharwell7500]

@@captainamerica9353 Good point. Jeff Beck a true guitar maestro (but not writer or singer)

[@stevenmarry6845]

if that man walked into a guitar shop chances are they'd have no idea who he is

[@briantaylor2.023]

Personally, I'd put Peter in the 20s or 30s AT THE LEAST.

[@marshallderidder6719]

Cardinal Sin, never interrupt Peter Green when he is playing the guitar

[@Danimal77]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@keithspencer3389]

The interviewer is doing his best & he is letting Peter open the boxes & tell each guitars history ! So leave him alone Dude !

[@stevenedwards4470]

I wish this was louder. One of my top 5 guys. He will be missed but always remembered.

[@marktierney3938]

Seems like a lovely bloke and obviously someone who has no materialistic values at all. RIP.

[@ianharwell7500]

Please go easy on him. He sounded every inch the East London born man that he was. Bethnal Green: famous for the Krays, Boxing clubs and Peter Green. It maybe does not flow as well because he's distracted by going through the cases and in turn it churns up many memories for him. I'd be equally distracted doing so. The interviewer SHOULD have sat him down and gone through a few choice guitars and given him more focus and time.

[@ytgibbo]

He’s a bit more ‘with it’ than I expected him to be. Which is a good thing. Nice guy.

[@Danimal77]

It seems like he recovered quite a bit from the LSD usage by this point in his life.

[@xplaybwoix]

Amazing footage . No editing , no short confusing distant answers to questions . It just makes me so happy for this footage to be around . He was so present .

[@Danimal77]

Dude stop asking him questions while he's playing guitar!!

[@Braglemaster123]

Up the road you!!

[@Molnboman]

Legend, no ego just loved playing...this guitar collection insight was lovely. Thanks for the music Mr G.

[@bigbasil1908]

People mistake his turning away from the music industry as him being insane. I am not saying he was sane, and I'm not saying he was insane, but then again are any of us 'sane'?

[@Braglemaster123]

Peter Green ( Greenbaum ) is an Icon .

[@petarreskusic4136]

RIP "MAN OF THE WORLD"🎸 THANK YOU FOR BRINGING JOY TO THE WORLD! 🎼🎶🎵🎶

[@barryispuzzled]

I can't believe that the interviewer is asking questions over his playing. It's like banging a drum when Elvis starts singing.

[@kvp4862]

Dear interviewer. Peter picks the guitar up. You close your mouth! 😂🤣😂 Great posting! Thanks mate! Big love from Fulham, London! 🇬🇧

[@paul2602]

God bless Peter Green.

[@theelvisguru9490]

For all the people that say he was mad. He’s as sharp as a tack here .funny and great memory recall. I saw him twice on stage and both times he was funny and engaging. That’s the real Peter Green

[@Danimal77]

It seems like he recovered quite a bit from the LSD usage by this point in his life. The LSD 100% changed him in 1970 and he was never that same guy he used to be pre-usage, but he did seem more stable here later in his life.

A treasure trove of guitars

Nice to see peter is coming back to us all the time, everytime I see a video of him nowadays he's looking healthier and happier ;) happy Christmas Peter, it would be nice to find Danny or know what the story is at least. There two such loved people.

no guitar snobbery whatsoeverrrrrrr...... lovely .....

[@stevemora7845]

Wish there was a part 3 it looks like he had more killer guitars!

[@SmelOdies]

Why did he give up on Les Pauls? Technical reasons? Nostalgia reasons?

[@maxwellfan55]

"too jazzy, neck like a baseball bat". PG on the famous Greeny.

[@SmelOdies]

maxwellfan55 That’s interesting. Of course it was not at all uncommon for his peers to move from Gibsons to Fenders as they got older.

[@vayabroder729]

I did see him playing or at least posing for photo shoots with Les Pauls later in his life. In this interview there is a bit that’s revealing when he talks about The Supernatural he says he “did it” meaning getting the sustained tones with the Les Paul and in the next breath he says he shouldn’t have for more than one reason; starting at about 7:18 in the video. I am thinking he associated the Les Paul with his success and later the Munich incident in which he and Danny Kirwan were given bad acid by a German cult at a party and which sparked conflicting times in both their lives.

[@maxwellfan55]

@@SmelOdies Peter went off Les Pauls soon after he left Fleetwood Mac, I guess for a number of reasons, some we'll never discover. Yes, the Fenders are lighter and more comfortable, but bear in mid Peter played a Gibson (Howard Roberts Fusion) jazz arch top for some time when he started getting back to regular gigs with friends etc. Some called it an "unusual choice" but I think.he liked experimenting, plus like all us players, he just loved guitars of any type.

[@maxwellfan55]

@@vayabroder729 Yes, I picked up on that. There's probably a lot in that statement, even though he barely whispered it, but that's Peter Green, an enigma. Another facet of his story we'll probably never really properly understand, but it's fascinating. I've read a lot around his playing life, met him briefly, seen him a couple of times, it's so hard to work him out, best way is making your opinion between the things he reveals in interviews, or musicians he played with. I have very revealing interview from 1970 that makes a lot of sense and answers many questions, too long to publish here, but what's clear was he was sick of the hype and bullshit surrounding music "stardom", money, and expectation. He mainly wanted to play with friends, or companions, not for managers, record contracts, tours etc...make enough to pay for his instruments, recording gear... I always admired him, his death was a shock, it's left a lot of sadness and sense of loss to many of us. For me there's no finer, more sensitive blues guitarists, but we can still learn a lot from him.

[@hdstudios178]

he used a strat on albatross? who knew

[@camelbiteuk1]

I believe he used a Gibson 69 pick up here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLCqHSVetuCpdE nice lead on go you’re own way by the way . 🎼👍

[@gluteusmaximus1657]

I did, because i've seen and heard him playing with Fleetwood Mac. He had about three guitars in use at this concert. Plus he used a Fender amp for this song.

please tell me someone gave him a les paul standard at some point. that man deserved to have a les paul again.

[@BackToTheBlues]

I read an interview he did in his PVK Records era where he said he didn't like the Les Paul anymore, as they were too 'French.'

[@temandkk]

Is that Peter Green when he is old ?😢
