Peter Green: Five Essential 'Live' Solos - Guitar Player Magazine


I've written an article...a small labour of love about Five Essential 'Live' Solos by Peter Green for Guitar Player Magazine. Original photo by George Wilkes Archive.

I also want to add a public statement to my article: I love Claptons early work and his role w/Bluesbreakers is key to PG's history. To clarify regarding my comments about Clapton. I am only stating in article that Peter Green's work was On Par/Equal to Clapton's best. Peter Green's work deserves to been celebrated along with Clapton. It's unfortunate that when I was growing up, I never even heard of Peter Green..cause nobody was talking about him...while Clapton was everywhere, I am Grateful for both musicians.

Glenn Jones, Meg Baird, Arborea, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Helen Espvall, Cian Nugent, Fern Knight, Rahim Alhaj. I started working on the production of this album in 2007 and it was first released by Important Records in 2010. UK Imprint altvinyl also did a limited Vinyl run. It still remains as one of my very favorite projects. The album made Acoustic Guitar magazine Best albums of 2010, Pitchfork 7.8, Mojo Magazine 4 Stars. I also wrote an extensive article about Basho 'Voice of the Eagle' for The Fretboard Journal that is worth checking out..it was published in 2012 in issue 24.
