@Helly H---- Supernatural was before Santana. It was recorded in late 1966. Santana was influenced by Green, not the other way around. Green also WROTE and recorded Black Magic Woman...
of course, the problem is that Santana had a huge hit with Black Magic Woman and nobody realised it was one of Peter Green's masterpieces. Peter preferred to remain in the background. But his original version of BMW is SO much better than Santana's. Just a complete difference in class.
sitithesecond True, but Santana unlike other musicians always praised Peter, and he always admitted that it was Peter who influenced him to make his music.
+Dana Preis So right but let us think too that in 1969 Santana was just a kid though some hispanics do look older, quicker quite often, the kid was only 18 but the public made him out to be older and experienced right away. Also BMW was only a British hit(#4) so the states just grabbed on to it like wildfire with the "supernatural" feel of Santana. I am certain Carlos really just took everything from Green to build his career Stateside but at least he credits him. Green is so under-rated these days except with people in the "know", but schizophrenia is also a bitch of a disease, too bad.
Peter Green had my favorite tone and touch. He knew how and when to take his time. He always sounded like he was playing on Halloween night. His playing sounded "spooky" ..
Met Peter Green at the Fillmore around 1969. Also chummed around with Danny Kerwin and Christine McVie down in Polk Gulch when it was sort of a Hippie fashion street. Peter Green was quiet and reclusive, but an awesome guitar player. RIP to a piece of the Blues and my fond memories.
*_My grandpa is and was a huge fan of early Fleetwood Mac. He saw them live quite a few times and has lots of albums. I love them too,_* *_I grew up listening to all his LP vinyl records of theirs. An absolutely beautifully gifted band ..._*
The Greatest of sll time. Speed not required for perfection, and what a tone. Remember thus was written in around 1965. No wonder Gary Moore adored Peter Grren
The Supernatural - a hauntingly beautiful piece by an artist who was nearly supernatural himself when it came to the magic he made on the guitar. There was simply no other in the world better at that time.
@@TheVatonaught I'm only guessing but I think this piece may have been what led B.B.King to say Peter's playing gave him the shivers, (or something like that). It gave me the shivers when I heard it too - all those years ago. Still does, actually.
What other guitarist at the time would have ever thought to sustain a single note for so long... BB would have been waiting at the gates with Gary Moore ready to jam for eternity. Thank you for sharing your gift. May you rest in peace.
Music "stars" channel the supernatural to write & play their music. Guitarist Glenn Tipton admitted "When I'm on stage it's like I'm possessed" It's because he is. Beyonce said the same thing. The Legend of Robert Johnson is based on fact. Robert Johnson met the Devil & the Devil gave him his ability to play & write the Delta Blues. Prior to this deal Johnson was a mediocre guitarist. Name one big music star who hasn't mentioned the Devil in at least one song ? There is Satanic symbolism all around us in fact the 5 pointed star is Baphomet the Devil. The star o the Israeli flag is a Satanic Hexagram put there by Rothschild a known generational Satanist Vampire.
@@megalodonseancasey8429 I don't know where you got your information about the Rothschilds putting the star on the Israeli flag but that's just another antisemitic piece of bullshit. The star is called the Star of David or the shield of David which predates the Rothschilds by a few thousand years. I would suggest you check your facts before repeating them.
Many people do not have the knowlegde of the roots of The group Fleetwood Mac. They are only aware of the pop music area although the origin is from the Blues and musicians as Mayall, Clapton, Bruce, Baker, and of course himself Mr.Green. God save this kind of music for ever.l
It was Greeny who said call the band after Fleetwood and Mc so that when he went away they would have something, and he did go away, rite away into his own head..shame!!
absolutely!!!! God please keep us listening to Peters Genius long after this sad news of his passing!!--RIP Peter and this beautiful, beautiful music!. Mark. NZ.
Peter was just the best god only knows what he would have written in the 70,s had he not gone to that jerry commune .such a shame.breaks music lovers hearts till this day R i p peter 💙🎸
The late Gary Moore and Carlos Santana, two titans on the guitar, looked up to this man highly. That says A TON about his influence to guitar playing in general. RIP Peter Green 🙏🙏
This solo is like a beautiful song with lyrics and drama. Heartfelt and haunting blues!!! Better than speed and circus on a guitar!!! His tone, dynamics and timing is unbelievable! R.I.P.!!! (and thanks for your guitar lessons)
Rest in peace, Peter! Thank you for dedicate all your life to make good music. Your name and your songs are written in the wall of eternity. Peter Green is eternal.
The pictures really add a measure of depth to what Peter's playing here...hopelessness, vulnerability, sadness...and the human spirit always trying to rise above and maintain dignity.
May our dear Lord bless you Peter....you were the very very best..not sure we will ever see the likes of you again. Your playing was indeed “ Supernatural “
he has a distinct manner of subtle composition that most guitar superstars lack, and his ego wasn't so huge that he couldn't work with other guitarists. damn, i wish there were more like him.
He was given some recording time by John Mayall for his 20th birthday, a generous gesture in those days, and this was one of 2 tracks he did. Unbelieveable playing for someone of that age. When you think Peter Green was only 23 when he walked away from it all. He laid down more great stuff in that short time than most manage in decades.
Melt in your mouth sound, that trickles down your throat like a good bourbon. It makes your heart feel like it's crying, but at the same time you are tingling all over, becaue you know how fortunate you are to hear this beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing this music with me.
He was almost before my time, but the Fleetwood Mac I knew started just before Rumours. I had always loved the song "Oh Well." As far as tone, I always loved Pink Floyd's David Gilmour's tone, especially his solos, tasteful and melodic, nothing fancy, just a superb melody but that tone!. I can see where he got it from listening to this song for the first time. Green's unbelievable, holding those notes for 10 seconds or more with NO fluctuations. Beautiful stuff. Very tasteful soloing. VERY underrated. But when drugs get mixed with mental health issues, the descent into madness begins. I am glad he was eventually able to straighten himself out, but I guess that time and era, where his tone and sound reigned supreme, had passed.
I couldn't agree with you more man Oh Well is one of my favourites too. Unfortunately drugs have made many many casualties out of great musicians and Peter was sadly one of them. Pink Floyd had the same situation with Syd Barrett and Gilmour took his place in the band. Crazy to think how volatile yet creative that period in time was. The music these truly gifted but troubled minds gave us will live on forever .
Still have my vinyl version and all Peter Green and Bluesbreaker 's Albums after 40 odd years. If the family don't want them when I die they can be buried with me. Class
I had them all in Vinyl years ago, but after years of scratching it started to sound like they had a popcorn maker as an instrument. I have replaced all of my Mayall Blues Breakers in CD fashion. Years ago they didn't have everybody's catalog available for purchase, but now you can most of anything that sold this many copies. The last one and hardest to get for me was the crusade album. I liked Hard Road the best out of the first 4 or so that came out with Peter Green but liked crusade a lot as well. Liked that song & tribute to" J B Lenoir is dead and it's hit me like a hammer blow "Love those horns on that. Since you look about same age I decided to comment- do you live across the pond ? (Europe) I don't know why, I had a feeling you did. If so have you ever heard the LoveSculpture "Blues Helping" with Dave Edmunds on guitar? It came out at the end of 67 or early 68, and was recorded at Abbey Road studio's & every song was done in 1 take. Id put that in my top 10 White Blues Players all time best Albums My name is Hoodis, but it is pronounced as "Who-This' but DIS instead of This Give me a shout some time, I have a massive collection "Archives" would be a better word. I'd say about 70% is blues, in many styles and forms.
Peter is the God of Guitar. There were many outstanding and extremely talented players, but the truth is he felt this instrument better than anyone else. Just listen to others and then turn on any song of Peter's - he truly managed to dig down there to the core of this art and present it to others - that's why he's God of Guitar.
My hair stands on end at the beauty, shivers go up and down my back. There is such joy for the sound of the universe being channelled through this man and his guitar. Thank you for sharing.
No wonder BB King said, "Peter Green was the only one who ever gave him the cold sweats!" As a blues player myself, Green STILL gives me the cold sweats, especially whenever I listen to this song! 😱
One track I have listened to since it was first released and it is still thrilling every time I hear it so many years later...In other words "timeless".....
What a tone Peter Green had. There is no surprise a lot of people would break bank just to get that tone. You can buy all the gear, the problem is that we are not Peter Green lol. The man is legend and always will be.
The problem so often IS the gear! This was done with not a pedal/rack/ gadget in sight. A cranked Marshall/Les Paul, and some plate reverb. Oh, and the greatest 'feel' guitarist of 1966!
@@petegilgan6217 Absolutely right. All Peter used was a Guitar, Amp, and Cable. Since we can't afford that gear all being original. If we have about a half million or more to spend we still don't have Pete's hands. There are some guitarists today that only want to use the least amount of gear and they sound the best to me. It was no mistake these guys knew what they were doing. I try my best but I don't have deep pockets lol.
You did a good job, and you're obviously a great player. I saw Green with the Bluesbreakers live in 1967 - and he really did sound this good! Listen to his first recording with Mayall - 'So many Roads' from 1966. He was 19!@@michaelheller8841
There was a lot "fastest guitar in the West" at the time with people like Alvin Lee of Ten Years After.Peter Green had the laid back and sensual touch which others didn't have.Thanks for the memories Peter,the Toby Jug,Kllooks Kleek and elsewhere.
Nobody does blues just like Peter Green....but I'm still tryn.. The way he gets a note to SOAR like an Albatross is supernatural to say the least. He made BB King get the chills. me too !! Thanks Danny who is also amazing with bending notes nervous and quick and UNIQUE as hell
Saw Alvin Lee 3-4 times at a small club in Palo Alto. Tremendous stuff. Just saw Trower in Petaluma a couple years ago. First time was 1975! It's on the internet. Trower at Winterland SF. BIll Graham Presents has a TON of black and white videos of Winterland. Skynyrd in 1976 as well.
When I first heard this it "bluw my mind". I must have played it 20 times over...& it still 'bluw my mind.' That Peter Green "sustain".. still blows my mind, now. Epic guitar playing of all time...
A timeless piece from a true interpreter and communicator of the Blues. The tone is what makes it haunting, and to think he did it with 60's technology. As an aside, at 0:52 I think you can hear Aynsley Dunbar drop a stick.
Santos & Johnny "Sleepwalk" 1959 It's my opinion that this tune was one of Peter Green's inspirations for The supernatural and Albatross. Music reaches deep into the spirit far beyond words.
Peter was the ultimate exponent of less is more and so many modern guitarist could learn from this. Glad to have grown up listening to him in the 60's through the Blues Breaker years and then Fleetwood Mac. Still think he was the best of all guitarists but these days have to listen on headphones so as not to drive the 'youf' crazy.
John Mayall told the band that he found a gittarist that are even better then Eric Clapton. The band reponsed " are you out of your mind" Well you judge. I am most impressed of this and his later work until 1970, but Aposle from -79 after his hard years I feel is masterpeice as well
after so many years loving the mystery of this song i finally learned it, taught it to our band, and now it's a staple. we take it to new places. the original is still delicious
+Muhd Tariq One of the pickups, the neck one, I think, was put into the guitar backguard so the it picked up sounds differently. Besides, I don't believe that he played through a Marshall like Clapton, I think he used a Fender. A lots and lots of reverb, of course.
+Daniel Micheli I believe the magnet in one of the pickups was put in upside down after Green bought it. He took it home and it didn't sound right and so they repaired it but but it in upside down and gave him that beautiful tone
This is an amazing song! A masterpiece! Every note has its meaning! So we can not say its an easy or boring song!!!!! Sorry but ( because i also play electric guitar) no one can play it like the one and only Peter Green! I tried hard to learn the notes,the riffs but in my ears they sound as they are the same!! Thats the magic of this song! ..the..supernatural..sound!!!! Thank you Peter Green
As John Mayall said " I found a better guitar player than Eric Clapton"....Peter Green-- what would have been if not for that bad trip? Play this as the last song at my funeral as I go into the Super Natural.
@@mizread They were all tripping balls , dark Germanic pagan rituals , Green used the guitar as a " wand " to open portals that night . Spencer´s description of Danny and Peter´s face(s) being perfectly interlocked - both soon became useless in this plane of existence . They traversed into fk knows where and never came back , pretty Lovecraftian if you ask me . Plus , he had truly said all he had to say if you listen to Peter Green´s entire discography with the Mac and the aptly titled " End of the Game " . " The Green Manalishi ( with the 2 pronged crown " is the Perfect epitaph ... what more is there for him to say ? Great magical times which those guys lived intensely ... I just wish somebody had access to the cassette Peter says he was handed of that recording in that Mansion . Everybody in the band says it was scary , ominous ...
@@gilsaraiva2830 yes, this recording ist lost. But check out as his son interviews Rainer Langhans, where this all happened. Rainer was just a hippy, no dark black magic etc, just taking drugs.
BB King said about this genious "Peter Green MAKES ME SWEAT!" me too! its the combo of special reverb and those amazing quick bends he does. VERY hard to duplicate. Everything he plays is haunting and gets way into my soul.
Oddly...BB King (Riley Watkins)was doing this work in Mississipi at age 13!!! He was never afraid of hard work! I'm proud to share the same birthday. I'm also a hard worker and blues player since age 13 very old now:)
Heard this back in 1966 or so, Peter with Mayall's Bluesbreakers. It has remained one of my absolute fav, still listening to it after all these years. That's how good dit is. Thank you Peter Green and may you rest in peace.
Sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainnnnnnnnn and Feedback. Peter Green was the font from which Carlos Santana drank in some inspiration. Thanks for posting a classic.
His technique His voice. Between him and jimi I had to pick up a guitar and try and play along. Pure class every note came straight from his soul. RIP PETER
That tone and that playing sends shivers down my spine. He was driving that amp as hard as it would go. And there is no hesitation. He knew exactly what he was going to play as he was playing it. PG didn't need to ever record another song. This was his masterpiece.
I was listening to this and out of nowhere I began to softly cry. I was not in a particularly sad mood but this solo took me there. Peter was like no other and no others were like him nor ever will be.
There’s always One fool in the comments section that is brought to tears from arrangements as far apart as Santana to Ugly kid Joe. Congratulations, you are THAT fool in this comments section 👏👏👏👏👏
@@jg1772 there’s always one fool, one fool that goes from song to song putting in copy pasta to make people feel bad for having emotions and feeling a connection to music. Congratulations, you are that fool and that asshole.
This isn't the Blues. This is the Greens.
When Peter Green plays you feel in the presence of greatness, it makes you humble, God keeps him
RIP to one of the greatest. What an incredible guitarist.
Peter ......Light, Love . Brilliance. May your journey go well ,brother .
Wait, whaaaaaaat? This 2020 man, enough!
Our Green God.

l8on99 Also at the Hall of Fame performance Santana brought Peter Green on stage to play BMW. Fleetwood Mac didnt even do that. Thats pretty sad!
One of the greatest instrumental rock pieces - we miss you, Peter! The world isn't the same without you.
Wahre Worte!
Peter the great
Ladies & gentlemen, you have just heard the finest blues guitar ever played. Give me the chills every time.
Still sounds amazing loved this when I first heard it back in the 69s on the Hard Road album by John Mayall now in my mid70s still love it.
Peter Green had my favorite tone and touch. He knew how and when to take his time. He always sounded like he was playing on Halloween night. His playing sounded "spooky" ..
BB King said that his tone gave him the "cold sweats".
Yes Peter had a little magic in those fingers.
Adam Horvath "He always sounded like he was playing on Halloween night" In this October 2021, he still does Great comment :)
Emotion over technique.
@@richardmindemann6935 Peter Green had both; "The Supernatural" was just one reason he was called "The Green God".
Best British Blues player EVER.
absolutely right
The best forever
True
@Marcellino Sananto 👍👍👍👍 totally my friend.
Rest in Peace Peter Green: The Supernatural from A Hard Road , 1966.
One of the greatest pieces of rock guitar ever put to tape. It's sublime, heavenly, exquisite.
One of the greatest guitarist ever. B.B King said Peter Green has more talent in his baby finger than her did.

That sustain and tone is just beautiful.
2 minutes and 58 seconds of perfection.
You can certainly add another 7 and a half minutes of enjoyment with "The Bluest Blue" by Alvin Lee.

You don't see brilliance like this anymore.
I want to say you're wrong. But I can think of a counter argument. Maybe not this brilliant but there is musical genius out there.
No, you hear it.

Peter green was fantastic. No need for the snide subtext to your comment. There are still great musicians.
Hearing those sustained notes with head phones on feels like it goes through your mind then lies in your soul!

Along with Alvin Lee , an underappreciated guitarist.
Agreed. They were so similar..
Robyn Trower as well
@@kellymclaughlin8287 yes you are correct. Listen to bridge of sighs to listen to some excellent guitar
Saw Alvin Lee 3-4 times at a small club in Palo Alto. Tremendous stuff. Just saw Trower in Petaluma a couple years ago. First time was 1975! It's on the internet. Trower at Winterland SF. BIll Graham Presents has a TON of black and white videos of Winterland. Skynyrd in 1976 as well.
Cannot still figure how Alvin Lee was not right there at the top for as absolutely talented he was .
When I first heard this it "bluw my mind". I must have played it 20 times over...& it still 'bluw my mind.' That Peter Green "sustain".. still blows my mind, now.
Epic guitar playing of all time...
Greeny is God
A timeless piece from a true interpreter and communicator of the Blues. The tone is what makes it haunting, and to think he did it with 60's technology. As an aside, at 0:52 I think you can hear Aynsley Dunbar drop a stick.
A giant has passed. RIP Mr. Green. Your music will live on forever. Thank you.
Whatever he plays is a masterpiece
Santos & Johnny "Sleepwalk" 1959 It's my opinion that this tune was one of Peter Green's inspirations for The supernatural and Albatross. Music reaches deep into the spirit far beyond words.
A humble bluesman
So pleased I got to see Peter in the Splinter group and also Steve Cropper both in the past 20 years.
Peter was the ultimate exponent of less is more and so many modern guitarist could learn from this. Glad to have grown up listening to him in the 60's through the Blues Breaker years and then Fleetwood Mac. Still think he was the best of all guitarists but these days have to listen on headphones so as not to drive the 'youf' crazy.
F-ck da youf
John Mayall told the band that he found a gittarist that are even better then Eric Clapton. The band reponsed " are you out of your mind" Well you judge. I am most impressed of this and his later work until 1970, but Aposle from -79 after his hard years I feel is masterpeice as well
The record "In the skies" -79. He came back and wrote some of the best songs ever made. Ofcourse my oponion.
Now you'll know where Santana got his style and his tone. Peter Green was the original, the innovator.
after so many years loving the mystery of this song i finally learned it, taught it to our band, and now it's a staple. we take it to new places. the original is still delicious
After 40 years of listening to the supernatural, I can still discover the genius of Peter Green
Simply perfect.
Oh my that tone is so haunting
+Muhd Tariq Les paul .... 1959 tobacco
+Sssthpok Slim taper neck on that thing too.
+Sssthpok Actually it was a faded Heritage Cherry burst
+Muhd Tariq One of the pickups, the neck one, I think, was put into the guitar backguard so the it picked up sounds differently. Besides, I don't believe that he played through a Marshall like Clapton, I think he used a Fender. A lots and lots of reverb, of course.
+Daniel Micheli I believe the magnet in one of the pickups was put in upside down after Green bought it. He took it home and it didn't sound right and so they repaired it but but it in upside down and gave him that beautiful tone
This is an amazing song! A masterpiece! Every note has its meaning! So we can not say its an easy or boring song!!!!! Sorry but ( because i also play electric guitar) no one can play it like the one and only Peter Green!
I tried hard to learn the notes,the riffs but in my ears they sound as they are the same!! Thats the magic of this song! ..the..supernatural..sound!!!!
Thank you Peter Green
Zois Sanis Very well said. Crashingly delicate... a musical orgasm.
+Zois Sanis This instrumental defines the word Blues.
RIP Peter Green. My favorite guitarist ever, the green god.
How did I not hear this song before??!!! WOW. Peter Green takes you on a trip!
Love Danny, best and truly original MAC brothers with Peter Green. JAH Bless!!!!!
As John Mayall said " I found a better guitar player than Eric Clapton"....Peter Green-- what would have been if not for that bad trip? Play this as the last song at my funeral as I go into the Super Natural.
+chris briggs "that"? THOSE
@@gilsaraiva2830 No, it was the initial trip with those evil bastards in Germany that tipped the balance.
@@mizread They were all tripping balls , dark Germanic pagan rituals , Green used the guitar as a " wand " to open portals that night .
Spencer´s description of Danny and Peter´s face(s) being perfectly interlocked - both soon became useless in this plane of existence . They traversed into fk knows where and never came back , pretty Lovecraftian if you ask me .
Plus , he had truly said all he had to say if you listen to Peter Green´s entire discography with the Mac and the aptly titled " End of the Game " .
" The Green Manalishi ( with the 2 pronged crown " is the Perfect epitaph ... what more is there for him to say ?
Great magical times which those guys lived intensely ... I just wish somebody had access to the cassette Peter says he was handed of that recording in that Mansion . Everybody in the band says it was scary , ominous ...
@@gilsaraiva2830 yes, this recording ist lost.
But check out as his son interviews Rainer Langhans, where this all happened.
Rainer was just a hippy, no dark black magic etc, just taking drugs.
Oh well!
RIP to one of my musical heroes!
BB King said about this genious
"Peter Green MAKES ME SWEAT!" me too! its the combo of special reverb and those amazing quick bends he does. VERY hard to duplicate. Everything he plays is haunting and gets way into my soul.
Oddly...BB King (Riley Watkins)was doing this work in Mississipi at age 13!!! He was never afraid of hard work!
I'm proud to share the same birthday. I'm also a hard worker and blues player since age 13 very old now:)
Brilliant, amazing, wonderful...beautiful...magic...
“His tone on the instrumental "The Super-Natural" was rated as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player” (wiki)
I put him above all including jimi
I put him above all including jimi
This is just heavenly. Gives me chills.
He had the touch, he made magic.
Heard this back in 1966 or so, Peter with Mayall's Bluesbreakers. It has remained one of my absolute fav, still listening to it after all these years. That's how good dit is. Thank you Peter Green and may you rest in peace.
Sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainnnnnnnnn and Feedback. Peter Green was the font from which Carlos Santana drank in some inspiration. Thanks for posting a classic.
Big influence amazing sound /tone. RIP
Thank you Peter, Son of Japheth for your True Justice within, you were blessed with Strength within!!! LOVE
💚💚💚can't never get enough , only a very deepfeeling man ,can compose such Songs, unassaible and magnificent 💚💚💚 love all your music mr gree ,so you💚💚💚
This is Superb ! So beautiful and High ! We can fly ! Jon
Oh boy...takes me right back to my youth many times this went on the turntable in the 60's!
His technique
His voice.
Between him and jimi I had to pick up a guitar and try and play along.
Pure class every note came straight from his soul. RIP PETER
That tone and that playing sends shivers down my spine. He was driving that amp as hard as it would go. And there is no hesitation. He knew exactly what he was going to play as he was playing it. PG didn't need to ever record another song. This was his masterpiece.
Good Bye Mr Green my memories will be here always !
What a sound!! He was brilliant.
achingly beautiful, none better than Peter
Been listening to this several times today. No going back.
Emotional music from the greatest guitarist of all time❤
I was listening to this and out of nowhere I began to softly cry. I was not in a particularly sad mood but this solo took me there. Peter was like no other and no others were like him nor ever will be.
There’s always
One fool in the comments section that is brought to tears from arrangements as far apart as Santana to Ugly
kid Joe. Congratulations, you are THAT fool in this comments section 👏👏👏👏👏
@@jg1772 there’s always one fool, one fool that goes from song to song putting in copy pasta to make people feel bad for having emotions and feeling a connection to music. Congratulations, you are that fool and that asshole.
RIP Peter. You was so pure! Blues always!
