how to play "Oh Well, Part 1" on guitar by Fleetwood Mac Peter Green | guitar lesson tutorial 

When I was a teenager taking guitar lessons , I asked my teacher to help me learn a song called Beatin Around The Bush by AC/DC .. he heard it and said it was from a Fleetwood Mac song

One of the greatest intro’s in rock. Terrific job as usual. Really enjoyed this one.

Brilliant! I love how you jump right into showing how to play songs without long-winded theoretical analysis.

0:45 - I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to. Classic, classic.

RIP Peter Green 💔

That acoustic riff is amazing

I forgot about peter green and the Fleetwood mac blues band. I remember them on the radio at the time. now I'm not a stupid kid I'm just blown away this guy can play. I remember people being upset when that band went pop. i understand now.. .. i started to play in the 60s.. but dident hit it hard like i wish i would of.. now im 66 got to learn it know so i can play it till the day die lol. i got another 60 ish left before then lol. thanks for puttin this up.. going to tune and work on building my calluses back up.. when i grow up i wana play like petter green..

whoever disliked this has no chops this is excellent thanks so much

A drummer here who loves guitar but could never hear this stuff well enough to pick it out... The athletic kid who could just kind of sit down and make a backbeat feel good...There of course is an enormous amount that Iearned by watching good drummers... I tried guitar in a band but didn't really understand the harmonic and melodic content... Your tutorials have put me back on guitar again so thank you... I can only imagine being a young guy with a tutorial like this.... There are a million and one places to use these licks in blues/rock if you do the work and nail them... well done well done

I’m not a guitarist so not looking for a tutorial, but wow - that was a joy to listen to all the way through - many thanks dude! I was 15 years old in 1969 when this song was released and have loved it ever since - you have brought an increased clarity to it - now gonna check out your other stuff! All the best, Dave Robinson, London UK

The best oh well lesson ive heard to date and was playing that back in the 70's. Your spot on with the B flat 😊

Another great lesson. Best produced guitar tutorials on the Internet, a pleasure to watch/listen to, well done sir.

I've been playing this for years, but never could get all the notes exactly right....Thank You for this lesson!

I like that you play it all before you teach. As it always should be with any tutorial.

This is the sort of music I cut my teeth on and, I know I've said this a few times already, your relaxed technique, style and overall ability is what made me want to play guitar in the first place. Scott Gorham, Paul Kossof, Ritchie Blackmore, Peter Green (of course), Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, Rick Derringer, Rory Gallagher, Mel Galley, Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, o.k. Brian May, I can't deny the influence, Angus Young, Ronny Montrose, Ted Nugent (The Mad Axeman), Brian Robertson, Brian Setzer, Steve Stevens, Andy Summers, Joe Walsh, Johnny Winter .................... these are the people who inspired me ............. you are cut from the same block, respect to you. Thanks for your inspiration too.

Killer lesson nailed it! Had me going back to listen to the original Yeah that flat 5 is there ha ha All praise the Green God And the late great Danny Kirwin.

I love your enthusiasm while playing/teaching these songs. I love shredding.. but i cannot stop feeling it like an exercise. When i want to express my self while having having fun i always prefer this kind of songs

Recently read an interview with Billy Gibbons. He said he was trying to figure this lick out when he wrote Just Got Paid.

thanks so much for putting all that effort in your videos , you don't only make me a better guitarplayer but also introduce me to so many great songs ! i wasn't able to get that lick out of my head since yesterday and cant wait for the second part !!

I've been playing this slightly incorrectly for 50 years. Thought it was about time I got it right. Nice lesson. Ta.

Happened to come across this video. Excellent presentation. Have played this song many, many times over the years. Found out I have been playing two wrong notes. Listened to the original recording again. Sure enough. Watched a couple other of your videos to see how accurate I am on some other songs. I learned all these tunes off of vinyl back when they first came out. Changed a couple other licks as well. Glad to get this information. Even at my advanced age still love learning something new. The journey of music never ends. Excellent playing and tone. Thanks Man.

Love this song. Peter Green is such a legend. Thank you so much.

Im so gald i found your channel and i love how you go into details of every song so it sounds just like original. You really know your stuff and thank you for uploading!

Your instruction on this is the best!! Great job in breaking it down so adeptly. I am having a hard time concentrating because I keep looking at your beautiful Les Paul. I just love the way the burgundy finish looks with the pickups & appointments!

You are a brilliant teacher - thank you so much for translating Peter Green's genius into something we all can follow... and you know what? Although I'm not quite up to speed yet, I've just about got it nailed! Cheers!!

Your channel is one of my favorite tutorial channels. Because of the tempo. Not for absolute beginners but they have alternatives. And your sound is good. Sometimes people explain a rather difficult lick, recorded with a crappy telephone microphone. Don’t change your approach to the tutorials please. And thank you for great lessons!

Another amazing video. You are the best in the business. Peter Green was so cool and this song was one of my favorites.

God bless you for this amazingly perfect lesson. So many subtleties we all miss. Thank you!

That is such a great riff! It is going to take me some time to get that rhythm pattern now, but super excited to learn it. And your tone is just monsterous for this song!

Best lesson out there !!! Thank you so much!!! I tried to figure it out but it's a little bit beyond my reach. WOW !!! You made my day!!

I have watch several of your videos and they are always really helpful. However because I can finally now play Oh Well I have decided to donate. Keep up the great work!

fantastic song and one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. Its definitely one of those riffs that sounds much easier than what it is in my opinion. Sure its not groundbreaking hard, but its definitely tricky to put together especially with those up picks at the end of the riff each time round and the descending line .

I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. Finally! Lol Great lesson

Beautiful song from Peter Green. He was excellent. Good job!

I love this song and I love the way you play it! Thanks so much. I plan to watch and follow!

Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to refresh this one it's been awhile glad to see this!

thank you so much for this, Its one of the greatest songs of all time!

Great tune original Fleetwood Mac. Thx brings back memories.

Classic Fleetwood Mac stuff...great tutorial! Always love hearing your spot-on analysis of what you are hearing being played, and not how others typically play it that sounds "close". Looking forward to Part 2... and of course any other great acoustical work by Lindsey Buckingham.

Just discovered you now. This lessen is amazing and a testament to your skill! I wish you many more subscribers and views!!!

I have tried every Person giving tuition of this song, AND THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST, wicked .

Excellent and comprehensive lesson, thank you for this. Liked and subscribed!

Excellent Andy. You really have mastered that LP.

Love it. Thanks. I subscribed and contribute $25 per quarter through Patreon. Every time I find a lesson like this. It is soooo worth it.

A great choice Andy and a great lesson. I actually put part one and two together and recorded it with my band as Oh Well part three.

Great tutorial! I do have an affinity with this early Fleetwood Mac as my cousin was a member of the band at the time!

Superb lesson - fabulous song and riffs. I have tried to play this for years but you explain it perfectly. Great explanations, excellent video and editing and the guitars sounded wonderful. Just subscribed. More please! Richard, Oxford, UK

Fantastic intro! Remember listening to this one on release 1969(?) at am-radio Luxembourg. I was blown away as with your first minute!

Thanks for this!!! Always loved this song! I'll be able to play this some day thanks to this Video! Appreciate it very much!

Great riff and probably the coolest lyrics to start a song off with.

This is an awesome lesson! My opinion of the E Lick Block is that it is the first and most accessible figure on the neck. The iterations of the 'Oh Well' lick are endless! One hit after another and endless hours at the ends of the fingers of anyone getting familiar with the guitar.

The best Oh Well lesson I've ever seen

Yeah great riff, tried playing it years ago when I was learning gave up in the end. Pretty well nailed it now thanks to you cheers. And your right that b5 us deffo in there. Cheers

Been playing both 1 and 2 for years! I fricken love me some Peter Greene..RIP BrotherMan.

you give a great lesson because you don't stop playing and i can hack along and fall into parts bit by bit as you keep varying the speed of the rhythm

Really appreciate how provide some good general information at the beginning.

Thanks a lot. Finally got to see the last little chromatic run up to the finish. Could never get my head around it. Nice work.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the lesson...Really good

Great player and teacher. Love what you do. Sincere thanks.

Really really cool lick to play. The timing of the lick is against what I am used to... but when you got your mind wrapped around it, that's always a great feeling. Thanks!

Your tutorials are very high quality mate.

That's just so badass ... thanks for such a clear break down

...my new project. Gotta learn this one! Thanks for the great lessons! :D

Peter Green could shred and also design such melodic tones, that were so artful he had so much talent, so much.R.I.P . Im glad he was happy in the end and thankfully went back to his music.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Love this song !!♡!! Thank you so much for this excellent lesson !!♡!!

wow. learn something old all over again. Awsome tutorial.

I keep waiting for the Mick's cow bell percussion following the intro. You nailed the multi-guitar parts by Peter and Danny. ¡Perfecto!

Saving this for my own use, Full run through 10:36. Thanks for the videos man, I've learned so much from you!

Fantastic lesson! Thanks for sharing.

Marvelous pick control and timing.

🎵 For more information on this lesson and the TAB: www.shutupandplay.ca/oh-well-part-1--acoustic---electric.html I was very saddened today to learn of Peter Greens passing. He was one of the greatest blues guitar players ever and was a massive influence on so many guitarists.

I have always thought that this was one song you would've initially covered back when you first started your channel . I'm surprised it took you this long - anyways , good tune/riff , good lesson (as always)

Killer lesson and playing my friend.

AWESOME!!! Thank you!

Excellent. He's the best teacher here

Fantastic video, we will be giving it a go.

Thanks for this - I need to learn this for my band and that little run was tricky to figure out by ear. A little tougher to plan on the bass than the guitar.

I never noticed the flat 5 in the riff. So , I was playing it wrong for many years. Not that it is a huge mistake at all, but it does add some flavor with that flat thrown in the riff! Thank you for the vid. All of your stuff is right on the money brother!

Les Paul sounds nice, glad you mentioned beat around the bush, Quo's in my chair is a more laid back use of the riff

TOP lesson, mate!! THANKS!!!

Hi,love your posts and Fleetwood Mac,all lineups.

Thanks for this , and thank you Peter Green for the music . RIP

Great tutorial!

Oh well what a tutorial! Many thanks!

Fantastic lesson man.

Great tutorial loved it, thanks

Great job! I think you got it right!

cool and this is the only video teaching it correctly. thanks

The stop/start verses of 'Oh, well' where an influence on Led Zeppelin's 'Black dog'.

Loved this lesson thanks

Awesome stuff ...thank you so much!

This is excellent! 👌🏻

i was just watching a old peter green vid,, looks and sounds just like it to me. great vid hear.

I remember seeing Lindsey buckingham play this live and was amazed that he could get so much sound out of one guitar.

Great lesson - thx :)

Classic ! Cheers !

Bam !@ awesome my favorite blues player thanks

Oh yeah! AWSOME! Thanks

Love this lesson, really well explained and easy to follow. Shame I’m at work or I’d be reaching for the guitar 😂
