From everything I’ve read, Peter Green was just as crazy as Syd Barrett.

Peter Green was not as crazy as Syd Barret. Green went nuts, but for the past twenty-thirty years had been sufficiently functional to play guitar with other people, and do interviews. On the Crazy scale I’d have put him about halfway between Barret and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, who is today reasonably sane and reasonably functional.

Amazing guitar player. Loved early FM, have all the albums on CD or vinyl.

RIP and thanks for the music.

How many people know that Black Magic Woman is a Fleetwood Mac song?

I didn’t know that. I’m only familiar with the Santana version of the song.

Peter Green was famous for his out-of-phase guitar pickups which resulted in a tone that quickly set his tone apart from others. Read some of the comments by BB King and other greats about how great his guitar sound was. Sad news indeed.

I remember him from before Mac reformed with Buckingham and Nicks.

Not many. I didn't realize it until I picked up a live CD of FM's from the Peter Green period, and it was on there. Also, Oye Come Va was written and originally recorded by Tito Puente.

I had no idea that was a Peter Green song!

Santana’s debut album came out right after I graduated from high school. Then Abraxas came out with “Black Magic Woman.” That was great music for my freshman year of college!

Never mind The Green Manalishi with the Two-Pronged Crown.

Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer (both are also deceased, if memory serves), the other two thirds of FM's three guitar attack, lost their marbles earlier on. Gosh, I wonder if it was related to substance abuse? :^) Since Chris Welch died a while back, all four of the famous original guitarists for FM are gone.

I didn't. Did they record before Santana or write it for him. People would be amazed how many recording artists wrote songs for their labels/friends and never recorded those songs.

I don’t think there has ever been another Jewish player of his caliber in rock do you.

I still crank up Green Manalishi....gives me chills
