Peters Guitar in Great Britain
 

I found this on youtube after reading the article in Guitar and Bass magazine

Thanks Doody so much for this amazing link regarding The Holy Grail Peter`s guitar!

This is so far the best guitar review i ever saw!

Phil Harris, a great story teller, did a great justice to that guitar! Loved the opening cut and also "All Your Love". Thanks for the history lesson on a classic guitar that
has been such an important part of music history.

Here are some of great comments for this video:

".....so glad this guitar is back in england, that much closer to maybe peter having a go on her again.kind of reminds me of the legend of king arthur who was the only one who could wield excaliber.no disrespect to the late great gary moore,who wailed on this axe, but in peters hands it was other worldly......."

Man, you really hit a raw nerve when you bring that up! Don't you hate those dickheads? They start bidding wars at auctions, they drive the prices of all the coolest instruments so high that no musician can ever afford them again, and then lock them away in airtight vaults where they're not likely to be seen, heard, or played again in this lifetime! Yeah, OK, I know, free market, bottom line, blah, blah, blah, say anything against it and you're a communist, etc. It still burns my ass...."

Give this guitar back to Peter Green! No one else deserve to keep it and play except Peter Green. And screw the dirty dollar bills.."

Thank You to whomever owns this guitar today for allowing it to be shown and played you spent a lot of money on it and you have the right as owner to do whatever you want with it but I tip my hat to you for sharing it with all the Peter Green ,Gary Moore ,and Les Paul fans..."

The owner must be Joe Bonamassa :) Only he would buy it and do this.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Thanks Doodyhead. Good job that the guitar is with someone who values it! And as he said it's a very british guitar in spite of being american.

On one the comments from Youtube in Jims post: "Give this guitar back to Peter Green".... Maybe not a good idea. He might give it away:laugh:

Ms Moose:angel:

I can assure you 100% Joe B doesn't own it. He used it back in March for a gig after Harris contacted him.

Joe has seven early Les Paul Bursts now (having purchased another '60 about a month or so back).

Harris is the UK custodian of Peter's old guitar. As i understand it the guitar does have a new owner after Melvyn Franks sold it. Joe didn't ask who the owner was, he was just pleased to get a chance to play it.

I met Peter Green
 

I met Peter Green on the 25th of September when fleetwood mac performed there second show in Londons o2 we where on the fourth row in block a3 pretty close to the stage when out of the back of the venue peter comes out from behind a black curtain with an usher i turned my dad and said i don't believe it its Peter Green he said no you are wrong i said no dad looked so my dad said go up to him so i went up to him asked for a pic he looked slightly baffled someone would recognize him especially someone who was only 21 lol his usher tried to move him on but he said no this girl wants a picture. Best night ever including Christine performing. Ill post my picture later on

How wonderful! Thank you very much for sharing that story--I wondered if Peter was in a vip box, regular seat, etc and hope he knows how much we cherish him.

I was too star struck to remember where he went lol

Oh I can only imagine--bravo to you for saying hello to him! I like that he was escorted from backstage as I love that the band had some time with him (I know that Stevie mentioned his). Wow.

I literally can't believe he told his usher to wait till i had a pic taken with him

Soon I hope.

I don't have a pc so having to use my dads when i can but if you wanna see the picture check my Facebook out its Lorraine Seammen

Great photo. Peters looking well!

Thanks i still can't believe i recognized him he is so kind

Congrats I would loved to have met him. I don't suppose you had much time to speak to him/ask any questions? How did he seem, nervous or relaxed?

No i didn't get to speak much to him he seemed quite nervous he just kept saying yes to me and just this girl wants a photo i said you're a legend and i love you're music and i walked away cause i had to but my dad said he smiled and said thanks
