The ability to pick at a bass line and the main tune notes for a song at the sane time is something that I've always wanted to do but never could. I always found this ability to be extraordinary. R.I.P. Peter Green, you will be missed by many
I remember sitting on the back of a large ship in the Pacific ocean and watching the sun going down into the sea at the end of the day and listening to this on cassette recorder. The was a single albatross flying behind the ship only me on deck. Its something I will never forget.
That’s about the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve been learning this song the last few days and wondering how how I could replicate three guitars. You did all of that plus the bass. Chapeaux my friend.
How is it that people can just walk by without paying any attention to a guy playing like this? You see it all the time on these busking videos. It blows me away.
perhaps it's b/c people suck. they know shit about music, and consequently about what is best in life in general, so why do we mourn 'humanity'? why should we not celebrate this, the close of the anthropocene? celebrate, perhaps, with a little music?!
I share the views of the person who 'marvels' at the way people can walk past someone playing/performing so smoothly and professionally and not want to savour the talent Marvin shows in playing such a wonderful song on a tiny amp - no studio effects or mixing - and with such ease. Well done, sir, and RIP the wonderful Peter Green. He would be immensely proud of Marvin's version of one of his classics in this video! Congratulations!
@@Maxdukemax no, never been invited! And I think what I do would be a bit boring but I’m up for it if they would pay my expenses as it’s a fair way to go from Winchester!
Marvin never fails to brighten my day. My favourite Winchester busker. You make difficult seem easy and effortless and embody what busking is really all about.
Hello Marvin. its Martin from Hull. Hope you are keeping well. I've been in hospital after a heart attack, getting better slowly. Just been listening to you playing ALBATROSS, truly amazing. Makes me feel better when i hear you play. And i loved reading your two busking books. Keep safe.
Hello Martin, Bloody hell, I'm relieved to hear you're on the mend! I'm really pleased you like the books (you're always welcome to let the publisher know, as it will be good for me!) Thank you for your very kind compliments about Albatross, or Albert Ross, as some of my older listeners call it. I'm so pleased my rendition has helped you in some way. Thank you for getting back to me and I wish you all the best with your recovery.
I do not know how many versions I've heard of this song - certainly more than a hundred. Your version is terrific. Finger technique, sound, and especially this great feeling. What a pleasure! Regards.
Thank you for the compliment, which I find very humbling. In fact, I did a rendition of this just after I'd heard of his death th-cam.com/video/22Lx0NJiV6Q/w-d-xo.html
Your video has just come up on TH-cam for me. WOW!!! Fantastic playing. Remember this as a teenager when it first came out. My all time favourite. Great to see Chichester again.
Listening to this while sitting on the beach at Galveston, thinking of my late, beloved brother who introduced me to this instrumental in the late 1960s, when we both played electric guitars in our parents' garage. Your version of "Albatross" by Peter Green is one of the most enchanting I've ever heard. It is so soothing after a hectic day of congested freeways and trials and tribulations in the workplace.
Hello Marvin, its Martin from HULL. How are you doing, just watching Guitar Heroes on the YESTERDAY Channel and David Bowie was on singing STARMAN. Mick Ronson was on guitar. It said he used to work for Hull City council parks department before joining Bowie band.
How good is that, busking on the pavement in Chichester Sussex and producing as good a rendition of his composition as in any fancy studio; vale Peter Green, but your legacy and that of Fleetwood Mac lives on.
Absolute talent and artistry demonstrated right there on the street. People attend large arenas and pay a fortune to see acts with a fraction of ability this fella has. We really should recognise the quality and artistry of buskers rather than just walking by without a second glance.
Bless him, truly talented. We were robbed. Thank you for that. Love it. When I’m stressed I play this until my heartbeat matches the drums. This is beyond music, this is medicine. ❤️
Very well done, smooth playing of three guitars on one, you make it look so easy, but the tabs and timing would take me a long time to learn. RIP Peter, you wrote a timeless masterpiece with Albatross.

Thank you Andy. The key is to practise it very slowly, starting with the bass line, which is the open low string, then add the higher strings.
@@marvinbnaylor Thanks I'll give that a go!
What an absolutely stunning bit of playing!
@@marvinbnayloryou hope
I listen to other music pieces and then keep coming back to this. Of all the pieces on TH-cam, this is the ultimate. RIP Peter Greene.
Thank you!

Hard to contain joy with this music, it is written all over this and played with heart, cheers!

Nicely done. Rest in peace Peter.
Many thanks. Here is a rendition I did just after hearing the news of his death. th-cam.com/video/22Lx0NJiV6Q/w-d-xo.html

Rest in Peace Peter Green.
What's he got to do with this video? Yeah, he wrote the song, etc., but this vid is about a busker who may or may not be dead now.
@@Ndlanding If he didn't write the song, this video wouldn't exist. Simples!
@@Ndlanding He died the day before I saw this video and I felt like honoring him, that's all.

First video in a while that made me feel like playing, thank you
Played like a maestro. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Nice and smooth, with the right feeling. This man deserves more money to receive.
RIP Peter
I couldn't agree more!. Thank you Stef.
Brilliant, Peter would be proud to his Albatross played out on the streets. Thanks so much sir, truly brilliant !
Thank YOU Garry!
Ahh!! The beauty of a small amp, worthy guitar, and soulful player. Not too much better.
Among the very best versions I'd ever heard. And I heard quite a lot in my long life.
God knows how many times I've listened to this, its truly mesmerising.
Take care
Many thanks Bryan. (In fact my middle name is Brian!)

Absolutely beautiful. You can really feel how this tune came out of a blues background with that driving, insistent bass line.
Like an ocean breeze. Beautiful
LOVE your arrangement. You're getting a ton of sound (and gorgeous tone) out of that little Roland. Well done mate.
Great cover. Keeps his memory alive.
Brilliant performance of the greatest instrumental of all time. 👍👍
Very nice done. A wonderful tune. I had the pleasure to hear it played by Peter Green in 1968 and about 8-10years ago.😊😊
Wow, great memories!
Beautiful tune.
Marvin b Naylor you are a fine gentleman thank you for the Fine finger picking and that beautifull rendition
Thank you Bruce, it's my pleasure! Thank you for the great compliment.

Thank you Chris. Steal whatever you want!
Utterly superb performance. Excellent rhythm. Tasteful licks.
Thank you
Amazing playing, brought tears to my eyes. If I were walking by and heard that I’d be putting a tenner in your case and listen to more.

If I was walking by you and heard this song I would wait enjoy the track and then take you for a beer. Wow. R.I.P Peter Green
This would draw me over like a fly to light. RIP
This is such a great version of this song. It's nice to just listen and chill every now and again. Thank you for posting.
lovely tune... reminds me of mid 70's
I've watched this guy play in Romsey & Winchester and has inspired me to continue to play guitar 🙂
