Wisdom this ^^, and standing in the sweet spot in front of the amp.
(sorry...)
There are two decent covers which I have, both recorded in the 1990s. One is Gary Moore on "Blues for Greeny" and one by Bernie Marsden on "Green and Blues". Gary Moore used the same guitar as PG but still overdubbed the sustained notes with a guitar fitted with a Fernandes Sustainer. Bernie Marsden managed three of the notes live but had to overdub the other one. I imagine he used "The Beast" for his recording.
If those guys ended up overdubbing the note, even with 1990s tech and Peter Green recorded his in 1967 studio technology in one take, I think we also have to agree there's a little bit of magic in his fingers and his soul and touch.
You could use a pedal as well. Something like the BOSS FB-2 or the new Digitech FreqOut.
Yeah Green, blinding player is right. Perfect example of why flash playing isn't everything. Anybody can learn to play the speed stuff but Green, you could spend your life trying to capture the soul of some of his easy little phrases, the man had it.
Its crazy to think how talented PG was. Obvs he had that great BB King influenced style down, but the imagination, song writing and arrangement skills were all other worldly as well.
What a legend.
I wonder if he and Green ever met/ worked together. I wonder what each thought of the other's playing.
The universal answer to everything.
Another giveaway is the tonality of the plectrum scrape at the beginning of some notes.
It sounds good good but can I justify spending £149 for one song?
The other clip that interests me is this:
In in the notes he says he used a Klon Centaur for the sustained notes, now, I don't have a Klon Centaur to hand but I do have a EHX Soul food that I've never used, would that do as a poor mans substitute? I'll also look into treble boosters but don't really want to spend much just to nail one song.
