I have yet to find the perfect guitar instructional either. Anyway, from where I am sitting this is a must have digitized guitar presentation if you like blues rock.
Peter Green was a founding member of Fleetwood Mac which incidentally is named after its drummer Mick Fleetwood.
Its line up back then was far different than in later years but always centered by Mick Fleetwood being in the band. Before that Peter replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Blues Breakers. Which was like a petri dish of blues guitar culture from which permutations arose and still arise many years later.
I learned to play Albatross and Oh Well off this 2 lesson disc. Since I do jazz chord scales too - well the easier to voice ones anyway, I notice that Albatross' chords are partial jazz voiced chords so Peter Green must have studied music in his youth. Well Duh!
But I'd like to know the details. I saw Peter Greens' Splinter Group 6 or 7 years a go and they performed Green Manalichi which is supposed to be a song about weed. It is 'stoner rock' to be sure and a tour de force as to how to muck about on the low strings of the fret board with just a tad more knowledge giving you the edge. Sure you may have to watch this lesson a few times or more.
In a lot of this guitar learning business we face the question of what to buy to make me a better guitar player? For a song oriented production like this one the answer revolves around questions like do I know the songs? Do I like the songs? So if you are young and don't know these songs why do you need to buy this lesson?
You need to know Peter Green's compositions also know as his oeuvre if you want to consider your self an electric guitar player. There is some acoustic guitar on here too. Peter Green is cut from the same cloth as Richards, Page, Clapton and Beck. Still before you worry about specific songs you should worry about the basics. There are plenty of basics in this lesson like simple chords and little finger iterations but there are also advanced and intermediate melodic guitar moves as well including slide guitar. The beauty of Pete's songs is they sound simpler than they are. Its not the same old blues its new and fresh blues!
Another hour!
