Members Supernatural Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 I know this question probably belongs in another section of H/C but I've been lurking for a while and this one seems the most helpful. Anyway, I've only just started to get into Green and Santana and absolutely love their tone and style (particularly on stuff like 'The Super-natural', 'Albatross', 'Samba Pa Ti', etc), so can anyone recommend me any other guitarists that have a similar tone/playing style? Thanks a lot in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 pickup this tribute set: build a Peter Green Les Paul replica... Santana used an SG with P90's in the early days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. I'll have a listen to some Andy Powell and I'll check out Snowy White (I'd not heard his name until you mentioned it). I've heard Gary Moore's Blues for Greeny LP and, like you, I'm not that huge a fan. Again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vintage clubber Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 Do not understand the fascination with Peter Green. hmm...Let's see...His songs have been covered by: SantanaAerosmithKenny Wayne ShepherdGary Moore - entire album "Blues for Greeny" I'm sure a bunch of others not even listed on that Rattlesnake Guitar compilation. He wrote some great tunes and played a mean guitar and influenced dozens of big name players and countless others. What's not interesting about that?

Members Hard Truth Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 For that type of tone check out the first four Allman Bros albums (up till Eat A Peach) and the most recent ones with Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. To explore the roots of that sound investigate the three Kings-Albert, BB and Freddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kap'n Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 the ABB recordings from the late '80's - mid '90's with Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts are also worth grabbing up... But have virtually nothing in common with Peter Green's tone or feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members humbuckerstrat Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 That did a lot for me, I was always a big admirer of Ronnie Montrose's guitar playing. To the OP, I don't think you're going to find guitarists that sound like other guitarists, they all have their own individual approach to the guitar. And that is what makes them stand out. You will, however, find guitarists that are heavily influenced by other guitarists. But if they're any good, they usually have their own voice and style on the guitar.

Members humbuckerstrat Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 Besides, both those artists (Green and Carlos) have put out enough material in their careers that you don't have to be looking elsewhere for examples of their style and tone.

Members guitarcapo Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 All I know is that his 59 Les Paul had one of the magnets flipped over by mistake from the factory, so that when he combined them they were out of phase. Instead of recognizing something was wrong, he went for it, mixing the pickups in odd ways and creating a different sound through highly overdriven amps.

Members Faber Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 Besides those already mentioned check out Mick Taylor. He replaced Green in the Blues Breakers and did an outstanding job both there and with the stones. A stones track like Can't you hear me knocking with its edge of breakup clear sustain is right out of the gp playbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
