Explained quickly and concisely, thanks, Dave! You're a legend! About to start my journey of (trying) to play like the old Peter Green! Finally getting around to learning old school blues, so, thank you!! Cheers!
I'm amazed Gibson haven't sent you a free guitar . Your by far the best teacher on TH-cam. Between you and steve Stein my playing is growing beyond what I ever thought I could do. Your a great confidence builder . And your personality is great you you make learning both fun and relatable. Bless your heart bud . Can't thank you enough.. I have always wanted to learn this song . Thank you loads .
I'm 64 and only been playing since April this year. With the tutorial you gave on albatros was without doubt the best on TH-cam, I learnt the song in about 4 days . Dave I thank you!!!! The way you teach is what others should aspire to. The next song on my bucket list is " samba pa ti " I just wish you would do a tutorial on it, it would be perfect.
So great! Wonderfull lesson. So much information + so much details! And at the end an inspiring version only by one guitar ... so well done! Thank you!
1 of the nicest guitar melodies ever written. Such a lovely peaceful listening song. It's almost criminal how simple the guitar fingering is for this 👍
Dave, I found you after watching you on Andertons with The Captain. Been playing just over a year, so decided to give this a go. Top lesson, absolutely spot on and as a late starter on guitar (49) playing this gives me a ridiculous sense of enjoyment that I never thought I'd achieve when I first started out. Thanks so much for a truly excellent tutorial.
Just discovered this - bloody brilliant. I'm 65 and have just invested in two LPs a Vintage and a bit of a custom job that was set up by a local guitar tech. I am really glad I've discovered your channel - thanks!!
You nailed that one Dave. I remember my older brother buying the 45 when it came out and I was in awe of the tune then. Listening to you play it is sublime. Thank you
Been learning this then discovered this vid. Have added all your vids to a playlist ... Your enthusiasm and skill shine through .. Very fresh and enjoyable to listen to guy ... Thankyou 😀😀
Been wanting to learn to play thiis for years. Have never found a decent tutorial until now. So refreshing to find some one to teach it as it should be taught.
Thanks Dave, great lesson nicely broken down into manageable parts. I remember first hearing this as a teenager although it had been around since 68. It was after hearing Albatross that I started to listen out for Fleetwood Mac and the brilliant Peter Green.
Just made my day Dave, going back through a few of your vids and saw this awesome! A great lesson and got me playing a tune I have loved for decades. Just played it on an old 60's Teisco guitar as that was in my hand at the time, yes I now own a Teisco purely because I saw what fun you have with them, and man I am so impressed. Had to reset the bridge as in its factory set up the intonation must of always been out on the top 2 strings. Thanks for these vids Dave you are an inspiring musician.
I can't even hold a guitar properly. but I love to see it played well, and I can dream I could it too! Well, I'm having a lot of fun watching and listening. you are doing well and interesting.
Best tutorial I've seen for this song. Very well done sir, extremely helpful, especially for new players struggling to find the best way to get the sound at least close to right.
Dave that was a really nice lesson on Albatross,and lm not good at following ,but your patience during the actual tune and repeats are such a massive guiding help for us slow coaches,big pat Dave,and l loved your end version of the great number as well, now l have to practice it,and hope your inspiration has paid off! Keep injecting simple easy masterpieces like Albatrosses Dave.Many thanks a new follower👍.Les J.
i am new to your stuff ...by George you have such tone to your touch ... i have returned to guitars to try again lol...you are a patient teacher which we need to emulate great musicians . That includes you as well. Not many can teach effectively but you are bang on the money. well done.
This is truly amazing, I've been playing this for years, but it's good to refresh it and see any places where I'm slightly out, great playing Dave, keep the Greeny series going
Always loved this great song. Thought it was out of my league but lo and behold I am playing it no thanks to your video. Easy to follow and great narration. Thank you 😃😎
Another great video Dave. As well as all the finer points and detail of the positions etc, your tone throughout is exquisite. That Les Paul (vintage?) is the equal to, or better than, any Gibson, in your hands.
"Holy Clean Fretboard Batman" !! That was awesome!! Cleanest fretboard on a TH-cam tutorial!! Really added to the fresh clean sound!! Thanks for the excellent lesson and for the added chill factor at the end!! Will be learning this one, bet it will sound great on my Epiphone LP Lee Malia Custom ARTISAN Ltd Ed, with it's Gibson P 94 neck pup adding glassy sparkle!!
@@thedavesimpson Thanks for the reply!! I have a question, I'm sure you'll have answered before but what's your string preference for different scale lengths? Looks like you may have 9's on the Vintage LP, it's hard to tell. I have been using 10's on shorter Gibson scale lengths and 9's on longer Super strats, though more recently experimenting with hybrid 9/10s. As a 59yr old learner I'm finding the 9's a little bit floppy mid fretboard. Should I go the opposite way heavier/longer, lighter/shorter? I love what you do to help others, I bought a CR120 after hearing your praise, I almost bought the Revelation RJT 60 quad or the TL, I couldn't decide but then bought the Epiphone Lee Malia, try one if you ever get the chance, I would love to hear what tone you could leach out of its unique T84 LM humbucker ( based around the dirty fingers I think) and the P94 is just the most sublime neck pickup. All the best for 2019...Michael...
Thanks again mate, I beg you to make “ a fool no more “ tutorial please?? It’s possibly peters finest playing of all ❤️🎸🎸 it seems your the only man for the job as not many you tubers bother with this incredible music
I saw Fleetwood Mac live three times in the 60's. And everytime Peter played Albatross he did the 'slide' bit towards the end by just bending the notes and mimicking the sound . I never saw Jeremy play the slide part on live versions. 🎸👍
Simply magical Dave! Your tutorials are much appreciated. Would you consider creating a tutorial with step by step instructions detailing your one-guitar arrangement of Albatross, as played at the end of this video? I see that I am not alone in clamoring for this. I just wish to add my voice to the din.
I'm thinking your Albatross is one sick Parrot. Hilariously bad, haven't laughed so much in years, thank you so so much. Have you ever thought about becoming a comedian???😂🤣😂
Awesome dude :) could you do one on rattlesnake shake? I love the live in Boston version, obviously that would be almost impossible since Peter and Danny are improvising during the solo's and harmonies but could show the greenisms that he uses in it like you did with worried dream? Keep up the awesome work dude :)
well thanks very much! now my weekend is going to consist of endless loops of this video as I try to learn it. fantastic lesson, you really broke it down well into manageable chunks. wish I could give multiple thumbs up for this. XD
Thanks for all of these Peter Green videos, they have been really insightful. I've always played Peter's harmony part on the b string , 7th fret but looking at the totp video he is up on the 11th on the g string, both F# but I'm gonna have to change it now I've seen this, cheers for the tips.
This must be the definitive, approachable lesson for Albatross. Ossum! Thanks so much for all you do. My next step is learning to top it off by playing the slide part. I cannot get to grips with a slide. It always sounds clattery and shrill. I'll keep practicing though :-)
Hey Dave, love your lessons on how to play like Greeney, Froosh, and Hendrix so in depth and precise. I was wondering if you could do a lesson on Peter Greens Bottoms Up? Its a bit of a gem i think and covers another aspect of his style. Would be interesting if you were thinking of doing more in this series. Anyway thanks for the lessons much appreciated and have a nice day.
Hey Dave thank you for what is the best explanation and tutorial of this amazing tune. can you do peter greens other songs like need your love so bad which has another great guitar rift. thanks again and Happy New Year 2021.
I have watched many tutorials on this incredible song, some good (Lick Library) some not so good. This is the best by a country mile. Well done Dave. Awesome lesson

Yeah know what u mean I enjoy daves vids so much. He has an unique style that’s interesting an ooze passion
Dude! This is my funeral song. Glad you made a good job of it. Will do my best to learn at least bits of it.
Not to glom onto your idea too much, but you ve put a thought in my head. Probably not too many people consider such things. Maybe they should, eh?
Such a beautiful song n you play it so well Dave, good stuff buddy!!! 😎
Thank you very much. :)
Another great video Dave.
As well as all the finer points and detail of the positions etc, your tone throughout is exquisite.

@@michaellilley6725 I use 9s on LP style guitars and 10s on strats and teles. I have always found 10s a little to uncomfortable on a les paul. :)
This is so beautiful, thank you, Dave!
Thank you very very much indeed. :)
Great lesson man! Love Peter Green and really look forward to these videos.

Hi Dave great video .perfect sound, could I get near the same sound on my strat. Pip
Thank you very much and you can indeed get close with your start. Go for neck pickup and roll your tone down to half or a quarter. : )
I have watched many tutorials on this incredible song, some good (Lick Library) some not so good. This is the best by a country mile. Well done Dave. Awesome lesson
Thank you very very much indeed. :)
Wow, 292 likes...no hates! Fantastic song.
Just got to the end and you did the masterclass version totally different to what you just showed us. 😬I'll stick to the version you showed us. 😊
I had to change it a bit so i could do it all on one guitar. Thank you for watching. :)
