Special Thanks to Chuck Kavooras for loaning me an amazing 2009 Peter Green tribute Les Paul for the solo. I'm using the 'out of phase' middle position and adjusting the volume controls.

Nice to see a great player covering a great player
Thank you!
I was THERE at the Boston Gig at The Boston Tea Party; BEYOND Amazing 🎶♥️🎶‼️
It's always amazed me that Peter had that kind of instinct, phrasing, skill, etc in his early 20's.
Definitely!
Thank you Jack, please more Peter Green lessons.
And nice playing the Greeny Les Paul!
Thanks!
Did you know that this song was written by Duster Bennett, not by Peter Green, they did share a flat together in Richmond, Surrey, which is where I met both of them one night after a visit to the CRAW DADDY CLUB.
Yeah, was gonna say Bennett wrote it. His album "Smiling Like I'm Happy" is great. And, he sounds a bit like PG.
Great video! 🎸👍
“Jumping At Shadows” was written by Duster Bennet - a one-man band who used to open for Fleetwood Mac. Unusual for a headliner to cover a song by the support act! His original version is a must-hear, too :)
Great playing Jack! You did a great job getting very close to Peter Green's style which is really difficult to do. I love Peter Green's blues and rock playing, it was always so expressive and dynamic. He was masterful at controlling dynamics and expression of what he was playing to the point where some notes are barely audible but completely grabs your attention, and when he leaves space it takes your breath away in anticipation of what he would play next and how it would sound. My grandfather who was a big fan of Peter Green used to say "he's the loudest quiet guitar player i've ever heard".
This is such a great lesson. I live the way the solo is broken down starting with the underlying harmony. It's essential to understand the harmony first but so few YT teachers actually dedicate much if any meaningful time to that understanding. Thank you
Green is one of my all time favorites also. The live recording of Black Magic Woman never gets old.
Absolutely!
agreed! Homework live is also great.
Thanks for covering one of Peter Green's solos Jack. I need your love so bad, was one of the first singles I ever bought way back in the day, Still love it today, the guitar intro, the singing and even the strings.
Love that one!
All those years they talked about Peter Green but hadnt heard what was so great, then finally heard some of that old stuff he did. Now I know what the fuss was all about. lol
Wow Jack! You really out did yourself on this one. Peter Green is my favorite 60's British Blues Guitarist and this lesson clearly illustrates the nuances of a FM classic. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Peter Green was a blues genius!! It's a great performance and, as always, tasteful. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have had this album for years and really enjoy it. I will be working on this one thanks!
Wonderful!
I’ve listened this song so many times ❤ I’m really delighted that you talk about this one but I’ m not surprised though cause you share with P G that kind of smooth feeling ❤ love it and thank you
Thanks for honouring Peter Green Jack. His songwriting and guitar style was as sweet ans nasty as Blues should be! He was also my favourite British Blues player. I still get a kick of watching the audience react when I play Peter's Black Magic Women instead of Santana's (great in its own right). I also played Homework and looking at adding Rattlesnake Shake. Peter was a little naughty boy with all these songs about sex. Always a bit of tongue in cheek.
Supernatural and Albatross are some of the most beautiful electric guitar instrumentals. I miss those days when bands wrote instrumentals like Jessica and Memories Of Elizabeth Reed by ABB. Anyway enough reminiscing. Thank you again for bringing Peter Green to people who may have never heard him before. Danny Kirwan was also an amazing guitar player.
Wow, just thanks. What a great gift.
Been looking for yonks for a lesson on this one .......nice one 🤘🤘
One of the best, but overlooked tracks from older Fleetwood Mac, is "Jigsaw puzzle blues", an instrumental cover of a horn-based blues, and played by Danny Kirwan (and Peter, I think). A tight, cool key-changing piece that has phrases that wrap around the changes neatly.
I am so pleased you made this video-I get lost on this song sometimes and you’ve helped me understand the structure better now.
Thanks Jack.
Great to hear!
Really great video and lesson, Jack! 🙂
Amazing delivery and content as usual. Thanks Jack!
My pleasure!
SMOOTH,, Beautifully Articulated.. Thanks for the super presentation.. PEACE
You’re welcome!
Hi Jack... love your playing, and your feel - and your laid-back vibe. I've loved Peter's playing since the early days when I started to learn how to play guitar back in the late 60s, when he was with John Mayall, and then Fleetwood Mac. I tried to copy just about every solo he played, you know, back when all you had was a mono record player and a blunt stylus...! There are so many great songs and solos to love, like 'So Many Roads'; 'Out of Reach'; and the whole 'Hard Road' album. Then there's the Fleetwood Mac ones like 'Need Your Love So Bad', and so many others, but the one that hits me the hardest is 'Love That Burns'. His feel, touch, and phrasing throughout the whole song is just beautiful, and then he hits you with the most heart-wrenching solo I've ever heard. I was just wondering what you think about that one? Thanks for everything you do. 🎸
Wow . Im from uk, and i agree totally that he was the best uk guy, and one of the best from anywhere. BB king said it too.
Clapton too: "Greeny was the best".
Fantastic Jack. One of my favourite songs from Fleetwood Mac as well.
Awesome!
Very sweet, thanks Jack!
You bet!
Thankyou Jack For This fantástic Job, l Love This One. Great Video.❤❤❤❤❤❤
God Bless You.🙏
Peter Green is one of my favourite players of all time, and I always wonder what else he would have accomplished without his mental health problems attributed to bad acid and the wrong crowd. Has to be up there along with Hendrix's untimely death as one of the great tragedies in modern music. 'Love that burns' still gives me goosebumps!
Also, you totally nailed the tone with that Les Paul and great analysis too.
One very nitpicking point when you say the greatest blues player to come out of England, it's actually the UK - England being one of four countries that make up our drizzly nation. Anyway, I'd say he was the greatest blues guitarist to come from anywhere that wasn't the Mississippi delta...although Chicago has a few contenders, maybe I shouldn't pick anyone else up on their geography 😉
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jack also i was sad when Peter Green died in 2020 ❤😢
Much needed vid. Peter was incredible. We need more roy buchanan stuff as well. Those 2 guys are criminally underrated.
Agreed 👍
"...criminally underrated"
What nonsense. I've heard and read nothing but praise for Green and Buchanan from every quarter of the guitar world for over fifty years.
What I mean is they are on the legend status. Everyone just says srv, Eddie, jimi, Clapton, anyone but those guys deserving of being in the convo for the best of all time. No disrespect to any of the the guitar gods in any way but the pantheon needs to include them.
don't forget Michael Bloomfield and Albert King and Albert Collins! I can't get enough of those 3 as well.
@@deedsoflegend
Segovia, Sabicas, Montgomery, Pass, Atkins, Carter, Mason, Gatton, Tedesco, Carlton, Ford, Fripp, Howe, Takasaki, etc.
Thanks Jack. You have a great instinct for teaching! I’m hearing a bit of Duane Allman in there too?
Wonderful. When will tabs, etc. be on the Patreon page?
Yes!
From John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers most people pick Clapton as their favorite guitarists. I actually prefer Peter in his sound and phrasing. A young kid named Mick Taylor was my favorite of all. We know he went on to The Stones. Back to Peter his tone was so good it can haunt you lol. Listen to Supernatural from Peter and no one was making sustained notes like he was at that time. Peter was way too underrated when he was alive and living his whole life. A damn shame and should be recognized as a household name in my opinion. I love the breakup tone you’re getting on your 335 by the way.
I totally agree Mr Green was a tasty player as is Mr Ruch. I often wonder if he knew the theory behind what he was playing or just played what sounded sweet to him. All I know for sure was loved how and what he played just class for me anyways.
Thanks for teaching and posting.
Thanks! He definitely had a great ear
That’s high praise for PG coming from you. He’s my favorite blues guitarist. A great singers too. Is that a Greenie release Gibson you’re playing?
Yes an older one from ‘09. Loaned from a friend
Gary Moore's live version of this is even more special
I play this tune more like Anthony "Duster" Bennett's original as a guitar/vocal. I'm not cool enough to have known about him... I learned about it from Peter Green's version, of course. Anyway, Duster Bennett's version is a blues with a bridge, but PG replaced the bridge and one of the verses with that iconic solo. I play it as Verse Verse Bridge Verse Solo Verse, but I solo over the Verse progression.
I love this song so much. It is actually a Duster Bennet song (he was a labelmate of Fleetwood Mac).
The live version where Peter Green namechecks Duster is probably my favorite version, though im not really sure which guitar is Greeny and which is Danny.
Any info on that would be appreciated
If you're referring to the Boston version on disc one, Green is on the right, Kirwan on the left. I haven't listened to the Feb 7 version recently so I can't be certain.
Thanks.
I’m thinking of the one where he says something like “that was a Dussster Bennet number. Anyone ‘erd of dussster Bennet?”
I totally agree with you, Jack. Peter Green would have to be one the most foundational influences of our time. He was brilliant.
The Blues Breakers launched so many stars. They were undeniably core to so much of what was to come.
I loved your demo, Jack. You got precisely the right tone from that beautiful Les Paul in each point of the solo, so skilfully. Salut! (What string gauge is on it?)
Great choice of song for a lesson, Jack. 🤩
Thanks! It’s got 10’s on it
