Peter Green was a soulful beacon in the world of blues rock. Revered for his profound influence and extraordinary guitar mastery. As the founder of Fleetwood Mac, Green played a pivotal role in revolutionising the British blues scene of the late 1960s. His emotive playing, distinguished by a singular tone and soulful nuance, elevated him above his peers. Green's guitar work, deeply entrenched in traditional blues yet brimming with innovation, propelled the genre forward through his expressive bends, evocative vibrato, and melodic sensitivity.
