Peter Green was one of the most iconic guitar players of the 60s. He started his career as replacing the Eric Clapton with John Mayall & the bluesbreakers. Later he founded Fleetwood Mac. He wrote quite a few songs which became quite famous such as Black Magic Woman which was played by Carlos Santana and became a world hit. Due to several health problems with drugs and mental problems he left Fleetwood Mac and started his own career. Now he passed away in July 2020 at the age of 73. Let's honor his work with his song “ I love another woman “ This blues was played by many guitar players such as Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa or Snowy White. In this tutorial I show you the first 12 bars of his guitar solo which is the most iconic part of this song and explain you the song is built with the chords and give you some ideas how you can solo on your own and how to play those chords in combination with some soloing parts. The song is basically a minor blues in the key of D minor and has the following form : Dm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 Gm7 / Gm7 / Dm7 / Dm7 A7#9 / A7#9 / Dm7 / Dm7 I love another woman.pdf I love another woman.gp i love another woman.mp3

Hey Sara, yes thats very common that the result of improvisation or even playing sounds different from what you thought it is when you record yourself. Thats why it's important to record yourself often to monitor how you sound and improve your playing like this - and singing your soloing indeed helps. It's a matter of practice - just do in small steps as I showed in this lesson and then improve step by step. The singing also shows your " true " playing and hearing ability which can be a bit frustrating once you start with it... same as the recording.
