In 1966, Green and some other members of Peter B's Looners formed another act, Shotgun Express, a Motown-style soul band which also included Rod Stewart, but Green left the group after a few months. His recording of "If You Wanna Be Happy" was an instrumental cover of a song by Jimmy Soul. It was with Peter B's Looners that he made his recording début with the single " If You Wanna Be Happy" with "Jodrell Blues" as a B-side. By Christmas 1965 Green was playing lead guitar in Peter Bardens' band "Peter B's Looners", where he met drummer Mick Fleetwood. He went on to join a rhythm and blues outfit, the Muskrats, then a band called the Tridents in which he played bass. He later stated that Hank Marvin was his guitar hero and he played the Shadows' song "Midnight" on the 1996 tribute album Twang. He first played bass guitar in a band called Bobby Dennis and the Dominoes, which performed pop chart covers and rock 'n' roll standards, including Shadows covers. He began playing professionally by the age of 15, while working for a number of East London shipping companies. His brother, Michael, taught him his first guitar chords and by the age of 11 Green was teaching himself.
