Here I recorded a spontaneous take after the videoshoot of the minor blues guitar tutorial. I wanted to get a puristic approach to minor blues and relating to Peter Greens style back from the 60's with a strong spring reverb effect and no additional effects. I have used a Vibra King amp with a 2*12 cabinet with an off-axis microphone setting, a large spring reverb with a mix level of 25% and a dunlop cry baby. I began the recording with finger picking and in the 3rd chorus I switched to normal pic technique. The great thing with puristic recordings is that these details in fact matter. But check it out yourself If you want to check the tutorial you'll find it here :

Here you can learn the main parts of the song The Green Manalishi by Peter Green. Show me the easy to play but there are many different parts in it which makes it hard to memorize the parts. In this tutorial I am showing you the main parts so slowly that you can learn them one by one and then listen to the song a few times to put them together to the full song. When it comes to the meaning of the song the green ones was asked what the green manalishi exactly means and he replied that he meant the addiction to money and I think the dollar bill is green we have it. He also said another time that when he composed this song it took him 2 years to recover from the intensity of the song and I must say I do somehow understand it because it is a very wonderful and intense blues rock song.
