Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946) is an English blues rock guitarist. As the founder of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Green's songs, such as 'Albatross', 'Black Magic Woman', 'Oh Well', 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)' and 'Man of the World', appeared on the record charts, and several have been adapted by a variety of musicians.
Green was a major figure in the 'second great epoch' of the British blues movement. B.B. King commented, 'He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats.' Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page have both praised his guitar playing; he is noted for his use of string bending, vibrato, and economy of style.
Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Green at number 38 in its list of the '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time'. His tone on the instrumental 'The Supernatural' was rated as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player. In June 1996, Green was voted the third-best guitarist of all time in Mojo magazine.
