  • Thanks so much.

  • my right ear is lonely :(

  • i think the finger picking pattern is incorrect

  • Wrong picking pattern and piss poor right hand technique...

  • @nanabaws Come out with a video that's better then! We'd all love to see it. :)

  • Is there meant to be sound cuz i got no sound

  • I love, love this!!! Preparing to sing this i and play the guitar at a Vegas morning show. I've always played it my own way which is not so good. LOL!!

    With your perfect instructions, you might have just changed the course of events i.e. I'll perform this song better!! Thanks!!!

  • Thank you for all your help!! I will work on your suggestion. So appreciate your help...... Your video lessons are so easy to follow.... as a teacher that is a critical to help with understanding.......

    All my best....

  • Your lesson made is so easy to pick up the verse, but my limited knowledge leaves me struggling to find the D/F# chord recommended for the refrain.  My chord book's version does not sound correct, any suggestions or recording of the chord I would so welcome....... Thank you for your time and help.

  • @Heartsong62 It's a D chord with an F# at the second fret of string six. You can grab the F# with your thumb, or lift your middle finger off the first string (since you're not going to use that string anyway) and move it to where you index is, and then move the index to the F# on string six.

  • You are so easy to follow,..thank you so much for sharing !!!!

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you for this detailed lesson. It was just what I was looking for! So much appreciate your time and help. May you show the chorus sometime, for I hear the chord change and am not sure how to proceed. Any help would be genuinely appreciated.

  • I'm kind of disappointed that there's no chorus to your version. Can anyone show me a tab of a chorus?

  • That is not the right way to play this song. The chords are right but the picking is all wrong.

  • what about the chorus??

  • @dropsofsera The chorus is: D/F#, G D/F# Em, C G/B Am, repeat

  • @GuitarMusicTheoryTab Thanks! :)

  • Awesome

  • except its not by fleetwood mac, its definitely by stevie nicks. but its still amazing regardles, thanks for the lesson.

  • @thehiddenxXx99 This song was written, recorded and released while Stevie Nicks was a member of Fleetwood Mac. It was first featured on the band's 1975 album Fleetwood Mac. It was released as a single 23 years later from the live reunion album The Dance.

  • I'm having way much trouble with remembering Am7. Hahahaha.

  • What kind of guitar do you have ?

  • @sdsddsfdsgfsgs Line 6 Variax acoustic.

  • I love you!!! I really do:D

  • I can only learn a song by visualizing someone teaching it

  • Thanks so very much for sharing. I learn so much easier by example. = ) Cheers

  • Awesome! Thanks! n_n

  • Where is the other part zzzzzzzzz

  • Great tutorial! I myself don't have a capo, but you can make one really easily by tying two ends of a pencil with a rubber band over the desired fret, it actually works pretty well.

  • @CheckaFlicka2 Carefull, ruins your strings eventually :-/

  • was looking 4 a good video teach guitar. found it

  • THANK YOU! Great tutorial, exactly what i was looking for! :)

  • Great!! So clear and easy seeing as I always struggle with finger picking xx

  • Im not a pro but someone already messed me up once with improper fingering. I think proper PIMA should always be taught now that I am playing a lot of fingering songs. It made me develop a bad habit of not using the proper finger for the proper strings. Just a noob's opinion.

  • what about the smashing pumpkins version picking? it follows the same pattern but i cant figure it out:(

    any way this is a great tut

  • does it matter if i have the clamp on?

  • @simsgeneration1 You can play this without the capo although you'll be in a different key.

  • @simsgeneration1 you can use you index finger as the capo and use your middle,ring,and pinky for the notes instead

  • have you had any luck figuring out the chorus yet?

  • @jwheels153 The chorus, or whatever you call the next section, is D/F#, G D/F# Em, C G/B Am, repeat.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! this was like crazy helpful <3

  • can you make a video of the glee version with the fingerpicking? the chords seem to be different but same tune as the original.ü

  • @twinz737 its the same chords but the capo is on a different fret, making the chords sound different.

  • thanks!!!!

  • great way my man. You are great at simplifying! But what about the rest of the song? Can you play it once through?

  • @canadianscot06 I'm sorry but this is all I got.

  • I like to call that G, the Inside G.

  • This lesson is a huge help to me. Thank you.

  • Your puttin da B IN BAAAAAASSSS

  • i can play all of the chords, but everytime i try playing the song and switching between all of the chords, the last note is wrong because i cant switch any faster than that, so its either wrong, or it buzzes ...

    please help this is driving me nuts i just want to play the song ...

  • @kelslaliberty You'll get better in time. Keep at it. And make sure you work on songs that are appropriate for your level.

  • Thanks so much

  • Well explained with clear instruction on fingering patterns for both hands.

    BTW, why not just do p-i-p-m-p-i-p-(m) (as supposed to p-i-p-i...)? Wouldn't take all that much effort to use that middle finger on the right hand, not to mention that would make learning other arpeggio patterns easier with that middle finger trained.

  • that sucks man i dont have a capo

  • @DevilsandDragons You can use a pencil and some elastics

  • this was so helpful.....not just for landslide but for fingerpicking technique....thanks!!

  • Is the rest of the song posted anywhere? This is a great tutorial, would love the whole song.

  • great videos, really helpful ta

  • Thank-you very much! It's a great help to see fingerpicking explained so thoroughly!

  • Nice tutorial Thanks!!

  • Tell me, how would YOU make an "Em7" ... :)

  • @RexxWayne A G chord is G B D. An Em7 is E G B D. If the shape in question had the low E in the bass, then it would be an Em7.

  • At 102 you are calling an E minor 7th a " G with a B " which it is not .. Wrong chord name .....

  • @RexxWayne Sorry for the confusion. It's not an Em7. It's an inversion of a G major chord called G/B.

  • This helped soooo much!! Thanksss! : ]

  • dang my capo is misplaced!!

  • this will confuse people and cause bad habits....why 2 fingers with the picking pattern???

  • was very helpful to me, thank you

  • nice!

  • Good tutorial. However the song slightly changes at the chorus. Any advice on that?

  • @Neeklus D/F#, G D/F# Em, C G/B Am, repeat

  • Well guys, you just have to stick with it if you dont want to be a "One-pick-wonder". Practice playing slowly and the speed will come.  The important thing is to keep it smooth.

  • um ya i agree with wadarec i keep using finger patterns for dust in the wind

  • Thanks this was helpful

  • thanks ....very helpful...great teacher !

  • Learning dust in the wind has made learning this song harder :[. Alot of the same chrods but different picking style, and I keep switching to the ohter picking..

  • your a really good teacher

  • svery helpfull.... thank you

  • Thanks alot

  • thanks!!

  • thanks it helped im made a video of my singin and strumming landslide but now im learning how to pick it

  • I play it different too - i use a double stop at the beginning of the first and third bars and only use the bass note of each chord once per chord change? maybe this is the pumpkins way of playing it. It sounds good anyway.

  • your picking is wrong.

  • yea i try and na 1 week i can do it thx dude!

  • nice thx :)

  • Wrong spot for what?

  • ur in the wrong spot.

  • Comment removed

  • if it sounds more like the way lindsey plays it doesn't that mean it's ore correct than the picking pattern your using?

  • THX for this Great lesson..  5*****

    Greets Andy

  • nvmd

  • dud ur pickin pattern is wrong

  • thanks alot

  • Thanks!

  • thanks great tutorial

  • wouldn't it be better to use thumb and 3 fingers ?

  • in guitar tabs, what does it mean when different numbers are stacked on each other?

  • You play those notes together, like a chord.

  • like strumming?

  • yes.

  • I've been through so many videos to try and figure out this song, and this is the ONLY one, that gave me clear examples with not too much information! I can see where your fingers are and you don't move too quickly which is awesome!

    Thank you thank you thank you!

  • Thank you so much! That was awesome and VERY helpful.

  • just a tip for everyone learning this song: if you manage to learn this song, try learning dust in the wind by kansas. it's kind of like a next step in finger picking once you learned this one, its pretty similar!

  • i second that

  • Thanks muchly :)

  • wow, my mo loves fleetwood mac, mc fleetwood even talked to her once during like a drummer convention or something. This will really impress my mom, thnx :D

  • that was sooo helpful thanks soo much!!

    =)

  • saw them live yesterday in houston.lindsay played a jaw dropping solo that would not end.great band.and the lesson is great too.thanks.

  • really useful, excellently played! thank you!

  • Is there one standard way of playing scales? Each time I look up the a minor or major pentatonic scale I always find different ways of playing it. IS there one standard or is it all just interpretation?

  • There are two types of scale patterns that are used most of the time. They are the pentatonic and major scale patterns. The notes of a scale cover the whole fretboard and can be broken up in more than one way. But they're all still the same notes. You're probably just seeing variations. Just pick some patterns and start putting them to use. See my book Fretboard Theory for more detailed instruction.

  • too much talking, next time just play it through one time.

  • Why would you use your index finger on the second string as opposed to your middle finger????

  • Walk before you run Hoopskidoodle.

  • I wasn't second guessing you.

    I was asking because a lot of the other finger picking lessons say use this finger p, i, m, a yadda, yadda, yadda.

  • Yes, eventually players should utilize more fingers. That's what I actually do.

  • lol I was wondering the same thing I guess its for beginners

  • I am a beginner as far as finger picking is concerned. However, I've developed a fair amount of digital dexterity over the last couple of months. Hell, I'm buffing the nails on my picking fingers as I type this... well just before I typed it in any event.

  • whoa this really clears things up

  • I can hear it without headphones fine!

  • hehe finally heard it with headphones on .. great stuff.. thnx

  • WHY CNT I HEAR THIS!!!

  • Turn up the volume on the video (bottom right), or check your computer monitors.

  • Ive tried that. Baffled because i can hear other videos just not these! Thanks

  • hmm i can hear it with me headphones

  • great walk through man

  • Outstanding!.. Great job!

  • Thank you! Very simple and clear!

  • Hey, Maybe 4 times a year i pick up my fiddle-I suck, but you have a great lesson on here-i can even play this-Thanks, Steve

  • thumb & index

  • Thanks for the tutorial, terrific! I can play it better with my index & middle finger better than thumb & index. Is this a bad way of learning? Just don't want to create an unbreakable bad habit in the long run... Thanks.

  • I would use my thumb, middle, and index for the pattern

  • one of the few people teaching songs on youtube that know what the hell they are talking about. good stuff

  • Wow, that was great.

  • Thanks man. Helped tons :D

  • agree the chorus would have been good. any chance of it being posted now?

  • Desi, You are a GREAT teacher. You have presented a very clear and understandable explanation of how this piece is played. Thank you.

  • Excellent work my boy!

  • very very good! i saw some videos before this wich was supposed to teach me the same song.. none of them could really learn me anything, but this one made it easy. im from norway so please excuse my bad english :P

  • By far, the best teacher ever. You should teach more songs bro!

  • ThaNK YOU THANKYOU tHANKYou,I finally learned how to play Landslide.

    Thanks,Great Teacher!!

  • an excellent explanation - i finally learned the correct picking pattern - but, it would've been even better if you included the chorus - maybe you could post it? thanks.

  • thank you

  • Nice job. Excellent demonstration of the picking technique which I was having trouble with. Thanks.

  • you are a good teacher

  • Very good guitar instruction.Simple and direct. Thank you!

  • Thanks a lot. I never could quite figure this one out. This sounds the closest so far. And I badly needed guidance on how to do fingerpicking, which is my weak point.

  • this is so helpful thank you so much, i am just learning how to play the guitar and it makes it a lot easier seeing it played then reading notes...thanks

  • thanks so much!

  • Desi, Thank you so much for sharing the chords and picking for this song.
