Peter Green

Peter Green, born in London, England, was a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. His career gained traction when the British blues godfather, Mr. John Mayall, recruited him in 1965, a man who had found more than a few guitarists on that list. In fact, the guitarist replaced by Peter Green in John Mayall’s band was none other than Eric Clapton, a guitarist who could be seen further down the list, as you would expect.

Robin Trower

Trower is from Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Thanks to his Jimi Hendrix-like abilities and his supposed ability to bend notes differently than any other live musician, he was probably one of the finest guitar players of his day. In the 1960s, however, when he was a member of the famous Procol Harum party, his guitar playing became the most popular. Most would agree that the album Bridge of Sighs, published in 1974, might be Trower’s crowning achievement. Later, Trower formed a group with Jack Bruce, Cream Bass player, in the 1980s.
