The man who made me want to play guitar.

As if I could ever play like that, with that feel.

Thanks for the songs and the solos Peter

One of, if not the, best.

Saw him quite a few times, but only when he made a sort of comeback, but he was clearly not the same player.

Live in Boston (Tea Party) with the Mac still the best live album I’ve ever heard.

Him and Danny Kirwan were very, very special.

I discovered that Fleetwood Mac album with the dustbin picture on the cover when I was about 14 about five or six years after it was released. Pure blues with lots of covers of old blues artists and plenty of lead and slide guitar. A real eye opener or should I say an ear opener.

I much prefer their stuff without any strings. Edgier, rawer sound.

Sad news.

Saw that lineup at the Albert Hall concert in 1969.
Was it really the golden age of music that I imagine or is it just me looking back with nostalgia?

The best British blues player. Met him a few times, mostly at the Nags Head in Battersea where he famously gave away one of his Les Paul Gold Top guitars.
RIP Peter.

Very sad news. And now I'll never get to hear him play.

Thanks Peter. Absolutely sublime.

I am still Steve but no longer in Dagenham.

A very sad day. This is from what is still in my opinion their / his greatest work, "Then Play On". The words are those of a tormented soul.

Sad news. Great guitarist. Sadly I saw him in Dublin many years ago and he just didn't function as a musician on the night. Looked very troubled and didn't want to be there. If only I saw an untroubled Peter Green. Played in Fleetwood Mac when they were a credible band unlike the bland rubbish they became after he quit. RIP

There aint half been some clever bastards.

I used to get guitar lessons from a guy called Nigel, who I knew from the pub. He was Irish and moved to London sometime in the 60s.

First guitar lesson I had was an hour long . Instead of going through the basics of playing guitar all he did was tell me about Peter Green. To be honest I already knew the guitar basics anyway.

Most of what he told me went in one ear and out of the other.

To summarise Peter Green was a bit of a cnt who fell out with almost everyone around him...... but

What a guitarist

I was there too. Although not strictly my cup of tea, they were incredible.

Yeh sad news. Connection with my family as my uncle was good mates with him back in the day and was in the same bands (before fleetwood mac). Peter Green actually quoted my uncle as the guy that influenced him in a radio interview. My dad has the recording of it still . Unfortunately my uncle sadly passed just before the interview so never got to hear it.
Used to see him around Richmond. LSD sent him over the edge sadly but good to see he made a bit of a come back in his later years albeit a shadow of his former self.
A guitarist legend. RIP Peter Green

Agree. Up there with Gallagher, Clapton and Hendrix for me - there's even a touch of the BB King about him. Rock guitar as its best - no self-indulgent histrionics aka Page and Slash et.al, just sounds from the soul. Fabulous.

Peter Green was the reason I wanted to play guitar and get a Les Paul !
The pain in his voice and his phrasing on solos was unique "Love That burns" still gives me the chills another hero gone :(

A documentary about him made in 2009 is on BBC 4 tonight from 9.30.

Liked this piece about it in the Radio Times: "Guitar legend Carlos Santana and guitar holder Noel Gallagher are on hand here to assess Green’s legacy."
