Biography

Fromwikipedia

Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946, in Bethnal Green, London) is a British blues-rock guitarist and founder of the band Fleetwood Mac. A figurehead in the "second great epoch" of the British blues movement, Green inspired B. B. King to say, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats. " Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page have both lauded his guitar playing as well. Green's playing was marked with "idiomatic string bending and vibrato and economy of style. Though he played other guitars, he is best known for deriving a unique tone from his 1959 Gibson Les Paul. Green was ranked 38th in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. " His tone on the seminal song "The Super-Natural" was hailed as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player.
