CAN YOU PLAY THIS RIFF? EP. 28 PETER GREEN 

TABS: bit.ly/3LWAr0H

In 1969 I was sat 15ft away from Peter Green in this clip playing Oh Well on his 1959 Les Paul on Monster Music Mash !! I was 14yrs old and was with a group of school kids asked to make up an audience !!! It was filmed at a converted church (where the original Top of the Pops used to be filmed) on Dickenson Rd Manchester UK !!! The truly great Pete Green of Fleetwood Mac !!! I will never ever forget that moment !!!!!

That Paoletti guitar is killer!

Peter Green was Genius. Pure and simple

can never get enough Peter Green. One of the greatest of the greats.

I was a great fan back in the sixties. A true stylist. He should also be rememberd for two instrumentals, The Stumble and Greeny, both dating back to his Bluesbreaker days.

Finally, a guy who can play. All those guys with channels on youtube who think they are imparting great wisdom and pretend they can play but can't play worth a flip make me lmao. It's good to see someone with true talent come along and lay it all out so well and accurately like this dude does.

the LEGEND THAT WAS, PETER GREEN! HE WAS ON FIRE WITH THAT 1!

Your teaching is stacked with enthusiasm and musicianship.. great control on a master Peter Green riff. Today is a(nother) good day!

Such an iconic song from "back in the day". Mesmorised us trying to be guitarists, how I wish we had RU-vid 😄

Your enthusiasm is contagious, it is so powerful.

''Peter Green's tone gives me sleepless nights.'' B.B. King.

You are amazing! Love your channel!!!!!!!

you’re a cool guy Thom, always looking forward to the next!

Over here in the Kalifornia Kollective, this was the tune that got everyone tuned into Fleetwood Mac back in the day. Once you bought the English Rose LP and heard Black Magic Woman, you started down the rabbit hole ... You quickly find the Peter wrote it and Santana "borrowed" it for Woodstock 🙃 And good on him for doing it 😀 Then you get caught up in Mick Fleetwood's drumming, his phrasing, and timing around the beat, but not quite on it ... And John Mcvie's bedrock bass 😀 Once you come back up to the light of day you are a life long Fleetwood Mac fan. And a Peter Green fan (splinter group). There is a lot to do with the many incarnations of that band ... 😁

I'm glad you know the meaning of the word Riff Some music youtubers dont!

Love your laughs of delights throughout this video. I first heard this as an awesome Joe Jackson cover on Laughter and Lust. Thanks GP for playing one of my suggestions.

Super stuff, loved the video and tutorial. Your teaching style and enthusiasm is a joy

Thanks for the great lesson Thom. I've been putting off learning this one for years, and there's no one who could teach it to me better than you.

What a treat getting to listen to you ripping through "Oh Well" on the new Paoletti! Incredible sounding! Thank you for the leasons!

Well done Thom & I had been waiting for you to spotlight Peter Green. He was an incredible guitarist & definitely one of the best to ever play the instrument! Hope that you and your family are doing well.

Love his attack, and feel. Nice T style guitar too!

That`s a really good one. You are inspiring!

Always good !

I'm playing that song since it came out in 69. Never sounded quite right LOL I missed a B-flat in the riff ... no wonder I still suck

Ver good job especially expressing the upbeat. Makes the song live!

Always loved Peter greens playing and greeny is my favourite les Paul of all time

AC DC Beating around the bush ✌️😎🔥

Peter Green é o cara.

Gorgeous guitar, damn

Notice Peter's economy picking?!!!

Shotgun shell knobs 🤘🏼

Wow. Awesome jam 😮👊🏼

Great tone (nice lesson too) TG

Are used to warm up with this riff long time ago and I was in a band just a wonderful riff play

Awesome playing

Wow, What a nice guitar!

You finally got a tele awesome and awesome peter green riff i play this one alot on guitar.

Love this song! Only Fleetwood Mac song I ever learned.

I really like that guitar

Love your new guitar! You picked a great song to showcase it with. Love ya brother!

Holy poop! I was just thinking about this. Yes it Bad A.

So many people miss the the a sharp pull off and go to b .... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your bespoke Italian-made Paoletti Guitar is very handsome, and played with almost as much authenticity as Peter Allen Greenbaum in his late 60s heyday. 🎉🎉🎉

I remember seeing an interview with Peter Green discussing Oh Well Part 1. He mentioned that pretty much everyone played it incorrectly because there is actually a Bb in the riff.

Wait! They let you keep this guitar! 😀😀 Good for you! 😀

Is that a Paoletti Telecaster? Cool! Proud italian here! ;) And how nice to see a tutorial from Peter Green, one of my all-time favorite guitarists!

the song is on the greatest album Fleetwood Mac ever made!

Yeeeeeesssss 🎉🎉🎉

I am not a tele man but yours is killer.

🤘

zawsze tego słucham a black magic woman & need your love so bad yes byutifoul

I have to say that I preferred the original Greeny b4 Oh Well, but it was still pretty good. My fave was probably Merry Go Round.

It is a GREAT riff. Id say it was the riff responsible for me coming away from 'fender' tones and into 'gibson' tones.

Surprisingly hard to get just right.

I have anew lick. A great one. God Bless Spencer, Kerwin, and the Hard to top Peter Green. By the way, where did you pick up that Telecaster?

Where you been? Nice tele!

Anyway you could do the James Burton lead electric guitar intro, solo and fills from the Judy Collins version of Someday Soon as found on the studio album Who Knows Where the Time Goes? NOT the Buddy Emmons Steel parts ... a LOT of vids out there on that ... but NOBODY on YT has ever done the James Burton stuff. That is a shame because this tune REALLY helped to get Country Rock rolling back in the day.

Calisters! Lol

I have a form of Tourette’s that causes me to shake and twitch all the time, I have to tense my muscles in my arms, hands, fingers, neck, back and legs. Playing relaxed is impossible to me so I just try to make the best of what I can do but playing with any real speed or accuracy is almost impossible. I wish there was a way to play relaxed but I’ve had Tourette’s since I was about 8 and I’m 50 next February so I play the best I can.

where can i get a guitar like that?

Talk about an insane Tele!! WTH is that???

It sounds a bit like the riff of "the core" played by Eric Clapton. Could you please also explain how to play "handjive", a good job for the right hand and the sense of rythm. Thanks for your Channel, you're making a really good job.

How do I find a guitar teacher like this guy?

new guitar ?

Were do you live my friend ?

My poor attempt at this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6UTHkMLSQ_Y.html 🙂

If he grows a beard he'll look more or less like Greene, just a stupid observation

It’s the coolest riff.. in the lamest song unfortunately.. but the guitar parts are so brilliant I can overlook the weakness of the song.

Ya I don’t hear the vigor in your playing your no Peter Green Sorry 😅

I prefer Lindsey Buckingham's version.

angus yound copied that with beating around the bush copied. way better if you ask me.

I love that paoletti. Seriously considering getting a relic blue custom one.
