Peter Green.

It always feels good to introduce young guitar players to the ones
that greatly inspired me.

Of course everyone is familiar with the name of Eric Clapton,
who was one of my big influences.

But not so many young guitarists have heard of another amazing blues player,
who replaced Eric in John Mayall`s second Bluesbrakers line up,
after Clapton`s departure , for to form the first supergroup ever!Cream.

I am talking about the amazing Peter Green!

"A Hard Road" is the name of the album he recorded with John Mayall
and his playing shines through.

After that he, together with bass player John Mc Vie ,
left the Bluesbreakers for to form Fleetwood Mac ,
later known as Peter Green`s Fleetwood Mac ,or The Early Years,
before they bacame a very successful pop group!

Any recordings from that period are evidence of his guitar virtuosity,
his blues song writing and his nasal very emotional voice that sends chills down your spine.

Check them out.

They are a must if you are a blues lover and guitar player.
