Peter Green Sounds - Slabo Day version Peter Green & Snowy White played by Kees Dusink (NL)

[@ruudwarmoeskerken798]

I was lucky enough to see (and hear) Kees Dussink last Sunday. I was struck with amazement by the sound he played with his band, composed for the occasion (s he said). I regretted not having seen him at work sooner. It gave me an incredible experience and I am sure I want to see his band in action again. Very high class of playing and the enormous calm that he radiated. Peter Green should have heard this tribute (although not every song that was played was a Peter Green song. But nevertheless, amazing.

[@KeesDusink]

Thanks very much Ruud, I appreciate your kind words!!

[@revivlerech9020]

Beautiful rendition. Thanks for keeping the memory of Green alive.

[@akabe2591]

RIP Sir Peter Green, the greatest of all times. This cover was beautifully played & thank you. Loved it!!!!

[@KeesDusink]

I thank you very much!

Kees there are only two reasons I would ever go to Amsterdam,to see the Anne Frank Museum,and yourself.Beautiful melodic blues.

[@KeesDusink]

Thank you very much for these kind words!!

[@rosewoody]

Very, very nice!

[@nigelduckworth4419]

I have copied to the best of my ability and recorded most of peter's instrumentals. But Slabo Day- which I had missed until now- is extremely difficult in terms of timing and to remember which bit comes where in sequence. I am not too keen on Snowy's live rendition on youtube but the original recording is magical. Thanks entirely to you, I have been able to pick out the notes and the timing and to add this wonderful tune to my repertoire. I think that the original recording is quite difficult to make out but yours is crystal clear. So thank you. I did see Peter and Fleetwood Mac at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester England in 1970. For me , peter is unique in that he played blues with melody which no one else ever did. His music lives on.

[@KeesDusink]

Hi, it was quite a job to figure out all timing things, but in the end I got them all. Thanks for the compliment.

[@AKAB47]

You are extremely luck person to see Sir Peter Green's performance. RIP, the GOAT

[@nigelduckworth4419]

@@AKAB47 I know. But I couldn't miss it. I also saw Chicken Shack at the same venue , I think on the following week. So I saw Christine Perfect as she was . There are some consolations in being ancient. But RIP Christine as well. Wonderful singer.

,Fantastic to find your channel Kees. I saw Peter in Sweden in 1968. From then on his music is within me and you play it extremely well.!.

[@KeesDusink]

Thanx Erik!!

[@douglasmayhall8279]

greetings kees.. i discovered your fine musicianship ( and wonderful phrasing) on the twelve bar bluesband vids.. you have unknowingly been a valued mentor of mine for many years, and mostly likely for many others as well.. many thanks.. (p.s. your work on "old love" at the bluesmoose remains in my hall of fame)..

Thanx a lot Douglas. Great to hear!

[@C_Dana]

Hi Kees, I've been listening to you for many, many years. Very familiar with this song by Peter Green, also a musician who I appreciate immensely as well. Thanks for reminding all of us that Peter was truly brilliant. Love your version as well as the Snowy White version too. Twelve Bar Blues Band plays so well and I still have them on my playlist. Did they ever do Slabo Day?

[@KeesDusink]

Hi, thanks for your kind words. Yes, I played Slaboday live with my "Peter Green" band. This band only play for special occasions. I have 2 versions. One is the original en the 2nd is my own interpretation, with many recognizable parts

[@BlurbyIsCool]

This is a bit of a hard ask but do you have a tab of this? Your remastering of the song is perfect and I need to learn it for school. Cheers

[@KeesDusink]

Unfortunately, no tabs. I do everything by head and many hours listening and study.

[@KeesDusink]

Thanks for your kind words.

Awesome playing............Do you have a gear setup video anywhere? Thanks for your contribution.🎸🎶

[@KeesDusink]

Hi, thanks!! I used a self build Tele with Warmoth body en custom P90 pickups (out of fase in middle position). Neck 52 years old wood. Amp: Kauffmaunn Silverado 50 watts. Overdrive: Cot50 (self build) and Strymon blue sky reverb. To be honnest...You can get this sound with almost any tube amp and a guitar with "out of fase" circuit. So I think no special gear is required,

[@Gitarreroblue]

Hello Mr. Dusink, I discovered your channel about an hour ago. The first video I watched was your recording of Slabo Day. It's the first time I've seen someone play this note by note. Like on the original studio recording from the seventies. Even Snowy White didn't exactly reproduce it in its official live version! I've been fascinated by this instrumental since I first heard it in 1979. I recorded it for the first time in a friend's home studio in 2009. I played and recorded it again just two days ago. But all my reproductions of this wonderful piece of music are far from your perfection! I'll study your recording and maybe play and record Slabo Day again next year. I hope you don't mind that I learn and copy a lot from you! I wish you a good time. Best regards!

[@KeesDusink]

Thanks sir. Great to hear you appreciate my version of this nice song. Please feel free to contact me for additional explanation (if desired). Regards Kees

[@Gitarreroblue]

@@KeesDusink Hello Mr. Dusink, I'm going to study your video for a while. There is a big difference between just listening to the music and seeing the fingerings on the guitar. I've listened to the original Slabo Day recording many times, but I've never seen it gripped with complete accuracy. Thank you for offering me the opportunity to ask if necessary. I might do that. All the best for the future and stay healthy!

[@KeesDusink]

@@Gitarreroblue Nice to hear that you will dive in the deep and use my video as a kind of reference. I Known at 2 points I'm not 100% accurate, which is because I could not analyze exactly which notes were played, beause it was played at lower volume. But it was a great experience to study this nice song. I wish you succes, patience and a lot of pleasure playing Slabo Day

[@natonic6538]

[@KeesDusink]

Thanx!

[@walterredaelli5736]

What a tone and skills and soul ! Thanks 👍🏻. Blues on big brother 🎸🖖🏻 Is this tele in middle position with out of phase wiring or magnets on these p90 ? If so, how did you do with the relative volume between pickups ? You adjusted the height of the bridge pickup with respect to the neck ? Just curious, technicalities apart you have a great feel. Bravo bravo

[@KeesDusink]

Hi Walter, thanks for the nice words! The neck pickup is wired in the opposite direction, in order to get the out of phase tone. The whole guitar is designed to reduce bass. (chambered body, shorter screws for the E, A and D string) I play with all volume and tone knobs full open.
