Peter Green Guitarist

Peter started playing the guitar professionally by the age of fifteen, whilst working for a number of East London shipping companies. He first played bass guitar in a band called Bobby Dennis and the Dominoes, which performed pop chart covers and rock ‘n’ roll standards, including Shadows covers.

He later said that Hank Marvin was his guitar hero and he played The Shadows’ song Midnight on the 1996 tribute album “Twang.” He went on to join a rhythm and blues outfit, the Muskrats, then a band called The Tridents in which he played bass. By Christmas 1965 Green was playing lead guitar in Peter Bardens’ band “Peter B’s Looners”, where he met drummer Mick Fleetwood.

It was with Peter B’s Looners that he made his recording début with the single “If You Wanna Be Happy” with “Jodrell Blues” as a B-side. His recording of “If You Wanna Be Happy” was an instrumental cover of a song by Jimmy Soul.

Peter Green Fleetwood Mac

Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac which he formed after leaving the John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. One of his previous bandmates, Jeremy Spencer was part of the band as well as Bob Brunning who was temporarily employed on bass guitar. Within a month they played at the Windsor National Jazz and Blues Festival in August 1967 and were quickly signed to Mike Vernon’s Blue Horizon label.

Their repertoire consisted mainly of blues covers and originals, mostly written by Green, but some were written by slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer. The band’s first single, Spencer’s “I Believe My Time Ain’t Long” with Green’s “Rambling Pony” as a B-side, did not chart but their eponymous debut album made a significant impression, remaining in the British charts for over a year. By September 1967, John McVie had replaced Brunning.
