Fleetwood's Mac Lindsey Buckingham Guitar Lesson (Part 1)

Watching flawless versions of his landslide performances shows how fine tuned and well oiled is his practice and techniques, im a sloppy mess at home at times during the solo part lol takes LOTS of practice to perfect it like he did ❤

He has very young looking hands

😂he is so sweet looking a kind man with a semi sweet anger sometimes

He is a quiet genius. He took his talent and he took it up — to unimaginable heights. What a kind, gentle, demure, modest, amazing musician. He has brought inestimable joy to the world through his brilliant guitar playing. We are immensely grateful.

guitar is out of tune

Love that he mentioned Chet Atkins, Who is one of the best guitarist ever!

Thanks, Lindsey!! I love the guitar/vocal duet on this the BESTEST!!!

What a Talent !! Contrary to popular belief, most folks are NOT born with this talent. Their abilities come from HOURS and HOURS of dedication and ……… oh shit ………. PRACTICE !!!! Lmao !! Yup, I said it !! PRACTICE !!! Boring, pain in the butt, never ending PRACTICE !!!

Well, I've been playing Landslide wrong😢.

"It was always about the song..."
It shows.
Thanks for this.
Much more interesting than band exploits.

The most important...to have your own style

Most guitarists are self taught…no guitar teachers in my day.

One string is definitely out of tune here, but a wonderful guitar player still😊

Tune your guitar Lindsey!!!! Lol

I have a crush on my teacher!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Its crazy how a talented person can take a simple song (in technical terms of course, for beginners it's such a paralyzing song to learn) and make it one of the best and we'll known songs of all time. Lindsey is one of my idols. Mainly because I hate picks too lol. Slippery little a holes

I always dreamed of playing like this. I used this video as my inspiration & now I can play this song as fluently as lindsey here 🎉

He and I have so much in common as far as his development, tastes and playing go, only, I did learn to play with a pick eventually. Fleetwood Mac - one of the best bands of all time. A band that is unafraid to play true music and real songs. What a team!

I had the opportunity to spend some time one on one with Lindsey in NYC.
He is absolutely this cool in person.

Describing Landslide and Never Going Back Again as "Simple" lol,

The mans beyond talented.

Does anybody have the sheet for this? I’ve tried learning this and everyone teaches with a capo I want to play it this way without the capo! Thanks 😌

Is there a part 2 that deals with the solo?

What I always suspected about the amazing Playing by LB - underrated, (as you can hear, he also underrates his own playing simply because he wasn't formally educated. Can relate with that one as do MANY Others! Clearly a total misconception about oneself best to LET GO of.)  
But some people are simply BORN Musicians & some even with inherent Extra's. - LB is SO non- conceptual when he plays. He FEELS it, he HEARS from seemingly unknown sources & goes for it. You can't get more genuine than that. I've come to define over the years that Honesty & Bravery = Authentic Artistry

Impressive picking

Mick tried to get me to use a pick, actually he was sort of a dick. But then I showed him by licks and that did the trick. Now it's kinda my schtick.

What's up with that?

Nice. Guitar a little out of tune.

Jesus tune that damn thing Lindsey!

Blows me away. Can't read music (so would not know how to fit chords together my theory) yet writes/ plays some of the most melodic music.

You absolutely are amazing !!!!!! Period !!!!!!

Lindsey is amazing 🤩 ❤

“It really just was like” * proceeds to play complex song flawlessly*

nothing quite like a Martin guitar

Tune it

Wonder what year this was ??

Long live the mad genius.

The reason he's underrated as a guitarist is because his songwriting is simply so good -- people think of him as "above" a mere guitarist, and instead as just a master musician.

Like Nile Rodgers, he doesn't usually get on the same lists of "best guitarist" like Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page, for the same reason.

The first thing he should say is that the guitar is tuned a half step down.

Average. Needs to try harder

A real pleasure to hear a true legend speak with such humility

That guitar is untuned

Lindsey is tuned 1/2 step down, if you you trying to play along with him.

Tuned 1/2 step down

Is that a Martin D18 ?

I never learned to read music either.

Guitar seems out of tune

His guitar is a little out of tune here, which i find quite endearing. A human touch. It's usually so perfect and out of reach for most of us. He is an exceptional talent of course.

The way he explains his playing techniques corresponds perfectly to the way he played with his band: not as a showpiece, but as a suitable part in a perfect song.

Lindsey Buckingham, Jimmy Page, and George Harrison. Best guitarists of that era

You’ve just inspired me. To be an accountant
