Green Manalishi Guitar Lesson
Michael Casswell’s video tutorial on “The Green Manalishi” by Peter Green is a deep dive into one of the darker, more atmospheric tracks in the British blues-rock catalog. Presented through Lick Library, this lesson is part of the “Learn to Play Peter Green” series and breaks down the haunting groove and signature phrasing that made Green’s playing so unique. What You’ll Learn: Minor Pentatonic Application: Casswell walks you through how Peter Green used the minor pentatonic scale in a moody, expressive way that sets the tone for the entire track. Signature Vibrato & Bends: A major focus is on Green’s slow, vocal-like vibrato and his incredibly controlled string bends—both essential to capturing the emotional core of the song. Smooth Phrasing with Legato and Picking: You'll get hands-on tips on how to balance alternate picking with legato runs, helping you to develop the kind of fluid phrasing that Green was known for. This is more than just a note-for-note breakdown—it’s a masterclass in tone, touch, and taste. Perfect for intermediate to advanced players looking to tap into the expressive, soulful side of blues-rock guitar.
