This goes right back to the beginning of the SG. In the Hard Road documentary that aired on BBC2 back in 1995 he stated that he just wanted to 'play guiter, like one of the boys. I want to be one of the boys in the band'. He either doesn't buy into or is very uncomfortable with the whole "Peter Green, superstar great guitarist" concept.

Which is why the SG worked for a while, when Nigel seemed to be gently coaxing Peter to perform within a friendly little band....and why PG and Friends is working now.
