It's been a long time since I've listened to "In the Skies" but I'm definitely hearing that particular tone. I spent a second with a search engine trying to find out if Peter Green played Greeny on that album with no luck. I did however figure out where the "Green" in "The Green Manalishi" comes from.
Greeny was already in the hands of Gary Moore by the time in the skies came out. I believe Peter used a strat on that album. Just shows you that Peter's tone is beautiful regardless of which guitar he uses.
By all accounts In the Skies had a weird production, apparently at some times during it's production Green was in his prime but at other times he could barely pick up the guitar let alone play it. We know that Snowy White performed the lead guitar for Slabo day, but I suspect he also recorded (or re-recorded) lead parts on other tracks as well. This brings forward a couple of interesting possibilities. For those unfamiliar, Snowy White is an incredible Blues Guitarist, who's playing resembles PG's incredibly closely. One possibility is that the majority of the lead work on 'In The Skies' was performed by Snowy (at least in the released version). At the time PG was still a big name so it would have been in the labels interest to market him over Snowy. This would have been performed on his iconic LP 'Goldtop' (also with out-of-phase neck pickup)- Which explains, for me, why PG is known to have used a strat on 'in the skies' but yet what we hear on the lead playing is that fantastic Greeny out-of-phase LP tone. Another possibility, and the one I prefer to imagine happened, is Peter missed old Greeny so when he got into the studio with Snowy he decided to smash out the lead parts on Goldtop.
@James-ju4gj was not a good top, the same lemon drop burst the guy is holding in this video is a replica of his iconic gibson 1959 less paul. Good to show you how much you know.
Absolutely...imho.... probably, the best 59 burst in existence....the best track record of owners....best example of what a 59 burst can be, if, even accidentally tweaked by destiny....for any player that picks her up, plays her, and most likely falls in love with her..... I'm talking the real one of course....but copies can deserve love too, right ?
cool sound im turning my epi 2011 Bonamassa goldtop dark back into a greeny goldtop, just bought a set of Gibson greenybuckers p/u's and i have CTS pots and orange drop caps
Albert King’s V guitar was accidentally wired out of phase in the factory. He may not have even realized there was something off, he just liked the tone. Peter Green didn’t understand what out-of-phase meant, and claimed the guitar barely worked.
You need to grab your self a set of Alan, Dingwell spirit, PG pickups, they have something every other Peter Green type pickup on the market claims to have, look them up you won’t be disappointed
I got emg 60n and 81b in My esp Ltd eclipse deluxe what do I need to do to get that ( out of phase ) tone out of it … it’s a very nice guitar for $1000 but was wondering if I have what I need to achieve that tone or not ??.
I have had some great epiphone guitars but where are all these unicorn guitars that are better than Gibson !? I'm seriously asking because I check out the new epiphones and even bought a couple but none of them are as great as even the lowest price Gibson that I've got me hands on, that's including the vintage Gibson I've played plus the ones my dad has and none of his epiphone guitars are a great as the Gibson. Now Dean on the other hand has guitars in all price ranges that blow these epiphone guitar away ! The vintage 1980 series and the Dean select series guitar are probably better than Gibson. I have bought 3 of the new Dean guitars and they are amazing, especially the Select series OMG!
@auntjenifer7774 I have a 2021 epiphone custom Koa Les Paul has a real Koa Top high end electronics..and sounds just as good as this greeny Gibson reissue unfortunately epiphone has discontinued the Custom Koa Les Paul after only a 3 year Run newer versions [2020 to 2023] they are selling on Ebay up to $1,300 and more depending on the seller very worth the price tag..this Gibson greeny reissue isn't worth the ridiculous price tags like the majority of Gibsons..
There's absolutely nothing unique about it....t bone walker been only using the out of phase tone on his es 5 since the 50s... followed by lowell fulson... freddie king and bb king... and EVERY OTHER PERSON WITH A ES 345 355 AND LP BLACK BEAUTY....wayyyyyyyyyyy before Peter Green was even thought of lol..... their guitars were built to sound like that PETERS WAS A REPAIR MISTAKE lol
Metallica’s Kirk Hemmet bought the original greeny for little less than two million dollars! I like Hemmet but I think he and other rich people who are willing to pay that much for a guitar are crazy! Even if I was an extremely rich guitarist; I will never pay that much money for a guitar! C’mom Kirk, you could have helped so many hard working but struggling poverty stricken families with that money. Remember what it was like to be poor Kirk.
@@zoeherriot I mean I definitely get your point and I agree. I just think best case scenario would be: Bonamassa > Gales > Literally any good Blues guitarist (bc Greeny is a blues guitar not a metal) > then I guess Hammett > football team owner (in order of who should own it)
Kinda reminds me of an organ! Lovely tone.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed!
That’s what she said
Was just about to say that

You can hear the magnet flip tone very clearly on Need Your Love So Bad. Classic Greeny.

He used it on a fool no more and slabo day
I think every les Paul needs this, best part is you can just knock the volume down on one of the pickups to get the normal middle sound
Your a great blues player dude 🤘
Thanks a lot mate
Such a great sound. I'm sure I've seen footage of Kirk Hammett using the original on stage. I'd be terrified using the replica, let alone the og piece
He played the Green Manalishi om PG's guitar at a 'night for Peter Green' thing a few years back.
He recently broke the headstock off Greeny. He said he cried.
Well, peter green is a legend, so is gary moore, and so is kirk lol
I hope he sells it to another guitar legend when he retires so it become the guitar of the gods
@@zoeherriothe fixed that already bub. He was in a interview with it on his lap. You saw the crack.
Clean lick dude. That was sweet.
You should let Dave Simpson jam this guitar. He’s a Peter green Master
Sounds awesome! It also means a lot to me to see such a young guy playing that style so well
Absolutely...imho.... probably, the best 59 burst in existence....the best track record of owners....best example of what a 59 burst can be, if, even accidentally tweaked by destiny....for any player that picks her up, plays her,

That explains everything, thanks. Let's make a zillion of em and give em ta kids.
I heard the originals was also wound backwards . I don’t know who to believe anymore. Lol

Now that's accurate
It reminds me of Albert King's tone
Me too, I always wondered how he got it
Albert King’s V guitar was accidentally wired out of phase in the factory. He may not have even realized there was something off, he just liked the tone. Peter Green didn’t understand what out-of-phase meant, and claimed the guitar barely worked.
You need to grab your self a set of Alan, Dingwell spirit, PG pickups, they have something every other Peter Green type pickup on the market claims to have, look them up you won’t be disappointed
Step 3, don't play SRV licks on a Les Paul to sound like Peter Green, if you're struggling to get Peter's sound, you're better off channeling BB King.
Amazing sound
I got emg 60n and 81b in
My esp Ltd eclipse deluxe what do I need to do to get that ( out of phase ) tone out of it … it’s a very nice guitar for $1000 but was wondering if I have what I need to achieve that tone or not ??.
Nice one Chris!!! What amp are you playing through??? Rick Jones....
Is this clean through the amp, or are you using any pedals?
Nice honk brother 💪
Wow,😄👍
In the skies. What a way to start the day
They did it to get a strat sound.
Ironically.
They did it by mistake actually.
Pretty cool but this can very easily be done to any les Paul.
Some of that model have the front pickup turn the other way with the screws on the pickup by the fret board Wonder how much that changes the sound.
Are the neck pickups wires reversed
Man I have a red less paul special I'm loving mine
That should have P90s. Right? So what are you talking about
You do know les Paul's have a a patch at the back so you can remove the switch to the bottom of the guitar for wher the tone thanger
Sooo..i can just flipp the Neck PU on a Epi to get that sound for a piece of the gibson price? 😅
Not the pickup. The magnet inside.
Yes it’s very easy.
Sounds just like an epiphone lmao
So he literally tried to replicate a fender sound 😅 no way mate
Thumbs down for not ripping green manalishi with it 😂
TOOL
"Iconic and Unique" proceeds to sound like everyother blues dad.
Because everyone copied this iconic sound lol
22 Grand for a replica, no thanks!
It’s a great way to ruin something unique and immediately make it an item of pretention
You sound like SRV even with a Les Paul lol 😂😂😂
It's a replica and a Gibson that's means the majority don't care Gibson is a thing of the past.epiphones are now king!
I have had some great epiphone guitars but where are all these unicorn guitars that are better than Gibson !?

😂😂🤦🏼♂️
@@auntjenifer7774 the only good Epiphones are the Japanese made ones.
Lmfao a Chinese made Epiphone is king? Alright man. Just like a Toyota camry is just as fast as a Ferrari.
Try playing the Les Paul without the background music.
Rare great blues on the Greeny ....95% of the guys reviewing that guitar are rubbish and can't play blues.
There's absolutely nothing unique about it....t bone walker been only using the out of phase tone on his es 5 since the 50s... followed by lowell fulson... freddie king and bb king... and EVERY OTHER PERSON WITH A ES 345 355 AND LP BLACK BEAUTY....wayyyyyyyyyyy before Peter Green was even thought of lol..... their guitars were built to sound like that PETERS WAS A REPAIR MISTAKE lol
Jimmy page had an out of phase push pull pot.

Why make a Les Paul sound bad?
Anyone else feel like Kirk Hammett doesn’t deserve to own such a legendary guitar? Gary Moore was a good owner but Kirk 😵💫😬😬
I'd prefer Kirk own it than some football team owner.

Joe's a spoiled, lucky, rich industry brat & you're a dork with "blues" in your username 😂
i don't like that at all
Hate that nasal honk sorry not a fan.
Yeah not my style
Fake reissue
