Peter Green's Les Paul Guitar - Gary Moore - Kirk Hammett

[@daviddawson1718]

Im just happy that guitar is being played regularly by a true professional. It deserves that

[@TheGuitarShow]

I agree David

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

The guitar deserves that ? Dude it’s a damn guitar ! What the hell ?

[@daviddawson1718]

@@vintagepipesnightmares thank you for providing me with the opportunity to learn and practice patience

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

David Dawson i am pretty passionate about this things myself. I am guilty also for attributing feelings to objects. I love those then and now videos about houses and other things. But I don’t want guitar players to think that this guitars are in fact magical and not the players. That is what drives the vintage market and it is us that raise the prices for them.

[@christopherorman5769]

I would say Hammett is a professional. Trucks, Metheny, Chris Forsyth, Cian Nugent, Bill Frisell, those are pros. Hammett? Not a tone, blues/jazz player I would connect with someone like Hammett.

[@vivienatkins7768]

I talked with Peter Green and he kindly let me to play his Les Paul after a blinding gig in a small club in Ashington Northumberland playing to a handful of people when the original Fleetwood Mac had not long hit the road.The neck pickup was missing then and he told me it was being repaired. When I met him again later in Newcastle he said that the guitar sound had changed after the repair but didn’t know why! The mystery and debate continues but whatever, that guy could make elastic bands stretched over a biscuit tin sound amazing! RIP and you’ll always be with us!

[@Dreyno]

I’ve seen several claims recently that it was from the factory like that and has never been taken out but the photo of the guitar without it proves that’s not right. Lovely to have met the man and played that guitar I imagine.

[@fishypaw]

Jimi Hendrix played stock CBS era guitars. David Gilmour after selling his iconic guitars said "they're just tools". Peter Green doesn't really care about the guitar. What does this tell you? It tells me it's not the guitar, it's the player. So many people disappear down rabbit holes chasing tone, when they could be practising and developing their own great tone.

[@fenixfyre]

[@TheGuitarShow]

[@johnnyd63]

Yes,yes and again, Yes! Ironic that great players sound great and like themselves on any guitar and lousy players sound like shit on great guitars.Smothering classic Paul's and strats with solid state distortion and effects,

[@Claytone-Records]

It is in the hands.

[@jamesonjones6952]

Eh there are musicians that care to an extent, and a lot of them have at least one or two guitars they won’t sell. Billy Joe Armstrong still has the same strat he played as a teenager, jimmy page still has the les Paul Clapton gave him, Kurt Cobain refused to smash his hot rodded jaguar. They all have one they care about that they won’t sell or destroy for a number of reasons.

[@mairenared]

The debate goes on. Whatever the reason for the guitar having that slightly nasal out-of-phase sound in the middle position, the real magic was in Peter's fingers. At the height of his powers no-one could touch him and B B King famously said that he was the only guitarist who gave him the cold sweats. A lot of people said negative things when Kirk Hammett acquired the guitar but I agree with you that it was geat that he took it out on the road and played it instead of locking it up in a collector's vault and it was lovely to see the picture of Peter being reunited with the guitar. Although he is reputed to have said that the guitar didn't mean a lot to him, I can't help feeling that he must have felt something to have held it in his hands again. Such a shame Gary Moore is no longer with us as seeing the three of them together with the guitar would have been a special moment.

[@TheGuitarShow]

A great comment Joe thanks and what a thought had Gary still been here.

[@_RLP]

Preach!

[@mairenared]

@@TheGuitarShow Glad you enjoyed my comment. Sadly, I was down on the coast when Gary Moore passed away in the Kempinski Hotel in Estepona on 6 February 2011 and as I knew the director of the hotel, heard about it straight away and reported it to my colleagues in the Consulate in Malaga. A very sad moment as I had been a fan for many years.

[@bbsoni4814]

no believe me it wasn't only peter's hand, I did the same thing on my 335 and I've got that kind of nasal sound...anyway, the colour of the guitar is completely different and the neck was broken so it doesn't really has much to do with the one Peter had...last but not least, Kirk Hammett is an awful guitar player (but a nice guy), I'd prefer to see that guitar in better hands but who am I to say...

[@barryjmccormack]

The magnet flip on the SG nailed the Peter Green sound for me !

For a quick out of phase mod turn the magnet 180 degrees, don't flip over. In the middle position the closer you put the volumes to parity the more out of phase the sound is. Works great! Thanks for the post. Cheers.

I’m 67 years old, not a musician but a lover of lead guitarists who played for some of my favorites like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath. Deep Purple and so on. Being retired and watching a huge amount of videos. I can’t believe I’m just now learning about greats Peter Green, Gary Moore. Gary almost brings tears to listen how much much soul he put into his notes. IMO Moore was David Gilmour on steroids. Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed this video, learn things especially not being a musician. I have hit thumbs up and subscribed to your channel.

[@stevecolman742]

When you have a neck humbucker with the peter green mod as long as it has a volume pot for each pickup turning down one when both selected will start to thicken up the sound which is what peter did tuning the degree of phase

My friend Ron Thompson told me that he believed that Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was the best authentic blues band to come out of England and I agree:-) and a little side note the Vaughan Brothers are my favorites on this side of the pond. But there will never be another Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac that's for sure.

The Guitar Show : Thank you so much for that heartfelt comment. Peter definitely was unique and so talented, not only on guitar.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

In the Peter Green biography he talks about the Les Paul in quite an of hand way, stating that it was hard to play because of the neck set up. He himself seems unsure of how the guitar got it's sound and he was never that happy with the sound, so go figure. I don't think he ever had any kind of love for any of his guitars, they were the tools of his trade. He had a beautiful Les Paul Standard Gold Top that he gave to Danny Kirwan. Mick Fleetwood bought him a Les Paul from the same year and Green barely played it. It's nice to see the circle being completed in the photo with Kirk. I'm not a fan of Metallica but I think the fact that he was willing to pay so much for and still get it out and play speaks volumes about him as a musician. I think the connection with Gary Moore is probably more important to Kirk. Anyway...thanks for the video and all the research and knowledge. I liked the sound of the SG.

[@shaunw9270]

Very interesting. So were both coils on the neck pickup rewound or just one ? I have a reverse wound middle pickup on one of my Strats , suppresses hum when combined with the bridge but shouldn't affect the tone too much , maybe it's a tad darker sounding than a std Strat. Anyway , personally I still think that the out of phase tone on the PG LP has more to do with the magnet flip. Maybe I'm missing something.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Hi Shaun good question... But I think it was completely rewound. There's a subtle difference for sure.

[@andyt6191]

Turning the pickup around plays a part, but also flipping the magnet does it too! I have done magnet flips and its not just that but if you turn the pickup around so the poles face the bridge or do the magnet flip then install reversed you get the tone??

[@TheGuitarShow]

Hi Andy yes you are right it's several things working at once but the magnet flip will get you in the bal park and is the most effective method.

[@clarkkent5632]

A guitar's tone changes over the years. As the wood and top age & dry it changes the tone. Also, the environment the guitar is kept in affects it also. Temperatures and humidity have affects on the body & the neck. And like you've heard a bunch of times, after Gary Moore got in a car accident & the headstock was broke and glued back on, the sound changed. Put this next to another Les Paul of the same year, and yes, it sounds different. Some people are just def.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Great comment! Thanks Clark

[@gr328]

The pickups on the SG are in different positions along the scale than on a Paul, which is why they sound so different.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Good point, makes a lot of sense

I am new to this, I bought a 2019 50’s Les Paul and did the reverse magnet on the neck pick up and it sounds pretty bang on, I got that nasally Stratocaster sound on the middle pick up and the fuller neck sound on the neck pick up. I’ve not really tried it with my Orange amp but love the sound with my Vox Ac30 also sounds great when running it through a Rangemaestro (Rangemaster copy).

[@leesloan8216]

i Read in a book ( the Haynes manual for the Les Paul guitar) and the author spoke to Gary Moores Tech and he said the Pick up had never been touched as the factory solders were in place on the pick up, he seemed to think that it had been made with magnets flipped and it was a FACTORY mistake, not done by the guy in london. but who knows, Peter Green certainly can't remember.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks for this Lee, well it deepens the mystery. Also I've heard Gary swapped out the pickups at one stage.

[@TimB335]

Great video. Out of interest why do you top wrap the Les Paul but not the SG? Also do you have the same gauge strings on them both? Thanks!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks and well spotted, it's just about getting a slinky feel and also tone. The les Paul feels better top wrapped but the SG sounds and feels better the other way... Both have D'addario 11 gauge strings.

[@alankillian4962]

If really interested look into a set of Seymour Duncan "Greenies". I had a set installed in my ES-335 along with period correct cap & pots. UNBELIEVABLE results & a lot of fun experimenting with the out of phase tones.

I have an Epi Les Paul with Whole Lotta Humbuckers and never play the middle position on any of my humbucker guitars. So I reversed the wires on the neck pickup. Sounded thin, but lower the neck or bridge volume to 9 and it snaps into focus with a beautiful full OOP. Now I actually use the middle.

Thanks good question I think he used the standard set which Clapton and page used at the time so equivalent to 9/10s

[@billygoatgruff2554]

The Guitar Show I remember very clearly that Peter used Clifford Essex strings but with each string being the one above it. For example, he had the 5th string instead of the 6th, the 4th instead of the 5th, etc. Then for the top E he used a banjo 5th (G).... I know, because I was a huge fan and strung my guitar accordingly. I read about it somewhere, probably the Melody Maker or Beat Instrumental, which in those days were like The Bible..... Cheers

[@TheGuitarShow]

@@billygoatgruff2554 thanks for this Billy so would the banjo G string be the equivalent to say a 9gauge or 8? Thanks

[@billygoatgruff2554]

The Guitar Show I really don't know what the gauge was. In fact I am not even sure if they put it on the packet in those days. We are talking over 50 years ago.... Lol I have just remembered however that he copied that string selection from Mick Green of Johnny Kidd and The Pirates. Everybody tried to copy Mick Green in those days. He was way in front of everyone. Tone, attitude, and a Fender Tremolux dimed..... Johnny Spence, the Pirates bass player used a Leek 50 watt amp with 2 Goodmans 18" speakers, so did the bass player of Screaming Lord Sutch and The Savages. Richie Blackmore played in the Savages as well.... They were THE bands to go and see. In West London anyway.......

Alec Mcjarison ...sure is!

Greeny 's sound always makes the ears perk up. Spontaneous but restrained when needed. The only other guitarist that I am more impressed with is the late Otis Rush who both Clapton and Green acknowledged. Not only a mega talented player but a supremely talented vocalist and songwriter. Check out his self penned classics of 1958 never heard anything like it. By the way the SG sounds closer to Greeny . Great playing

[@TheGuitarShow]

Agreed re Otis Rush thanks for watching

[@francovani2359]

Me too! lol

Magnet to be me sounds really good.

[@kevingriffin8854]

Hey dude, your tone is great on this. Coming from my phone speaker. What amp and reverb are you using?

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks indeed Kevin, I'm using a head room reverb and either my Mystic Blues or filmosound amps thanks

[@deathsee]

sorry the reverse magnet sounds sweeter, no horse in the race, love Peter Green but I am NOT a blues Player, never was, but, I can not say the winding is it

[@deathsee]

side note, you really should have did it with 2 les pauls, but again, watched it 5 times, sorry, the flip is the sound

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

The sg wins hands down. I wonder when Gary died if this was the guitar leaning against the night stand, when Gary was found dead in bed. Maybe Garys soul is in it, and Kirk figured it out. 2 million for a Lea Paul. Thats crazy.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks Jeffrey

[@mkilner]

gary had sold the greeny guitar by then and it was 'stripe' that he had in the room with him, what a loss for us all! 😕🌟🎼🎸

[@TheGuitarShow]

@@mkilner thanks Martin you are indeed correct, Greenie was sold by then of course.

I was lucky enough to meet Peter green in 1998 at the cellar club in south Shields,spoke to him for a while and got a few photos,he's a very timid guy,I had the magnet flipped on my les Paul and it can really nail Peters sound plugged into my katana ,great video keep Em coming,do a video on Clapton,that would be cool

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks coming soon I also met Peter and witnessed the same thing

[@TWHueyGuitar]

I have a EPI LP that I had the bridge magnet flipped, and that made it sound like three different guitars. Flipping it to the bridge pup is amazing.

[@TheGuitarShow]

So great to hear you are enjoying the out of phase tone thanks for watching

[@michaelgarcia2050]

Kirk Hammett is doing with that guitar what should be done with it - gigging. This highly-regarded instrument can now seen and heard in person.

[@shannonfreeman1]

Peter Green told Kirk that it wasn't his original guitar. He told Kirk his guitar had more red in it..
