How to Play Big Love by Lindsey Buckingham

[durrso]

Big help excellent playing

[zaneember]

Fucking beautiful. You do Lindsey justice. Amazing! This song is not easy to replicate. I'd love to hear you sing. :) Voices get old but classic riffs never die. "looking out for love" :)

[ps3suckschode]

Damn it! I'm stuck on the last bit of the last bar...can't work out whats going on -_-

[zuhane]

I feel OBSCENELY COOL being able to play this! Thank you. This alongside a tab really helped me with the pacing of the song!

[climbingplant]

this is so great, i just have a big problem to play with my thumb and my other fingers at the same time...

[paultrim]

Aghh, I can do the picking and the base line seperately, but put the two together and it sounds like my 2y/o playing my guitar...cant be done!! lol I am going to flag you as inappropriate because you can play it..lol

Nice work man, I am jelous

[BillBlaze]

Standard tuning, capo on the 4th. You can play it without a capo if that key suits your vocal range. I say this while still learning!

[BillBlaze]

Good Job. Between you and Lindsey and others I am putting this masterpiece together!

[spitster228]

hey im 14 and have been playing a year this month just learnt this was quite difficult but got it in about 45 mins practice

[nerdjuice32]

Hey man. Really nice work. You've got better technique than I do, but I just posted a video response to this with my cover. I change a few minor things, but I have the whole song so people can kind of see where my hands go and get their minds working like they need to be. Skip to :50 to go right to the song. :p

[jasonvincent027]

@adarkerlight - truly sorry. I do my best man. I was kinda hoping I got some of it right.  Perhaps you could help by posting a video response with the correct version.

[antiptista]

Sick!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats man, this got real close to the original song... really good job!!!

[antiptista]

Sick!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats man, this got real close to the original song... really good job!!!

[gb224480]

this is so helpful. you have made learning this legendary tune much easier - thanks!

[baltimorebob]

I have been struggling with this song for ages. This lesson is the best I've seen, including Lindsey's.  Thanks a million!

[Anonymous1226]

What tuning is this in?

[jasonvincent027]

@Anonymous1226 - standard tuning

[mannstudio]

@jasonvincent027

This was a great help. I love the camera angle and speed changes. Very easy to understand.. Now I want to learn the rest of song lol.

[Metis272]

Damn. Kudos on being able to play such a godly song so well.

[farazfarazfaraz]

Nice, pretty spot on - check out my cover of the same song btw - i'd appreciate any comments you or anyone else has :)

[jahballz]

yo thanx heaps, this has been a mean tutorial. its about day 6 and i finaly have it down thanx to your help but... dude you gotta teach me the solo! post it i know you can play it haha.

im hanging out to learn it so can ya help??

[jasonvincent027]

@jahballz wish i could man. I was hoping other people might post the other parts - then together we would have the whole thing. - if you learn it, post a response to this video. Good luck man - glad it helped

[smashattack666]

@jasonvincent027 its really not that hard, just look up the tabs and its actually right. if you guys got this far you will deffinately get it

[electroarv]

Hi Jason,

Thanks again for the help for showing how to play it.

I am now struggling with the other parts.. Are you planning any lessons by any chance?? ;-)

ciao

[electroarv]

Thanks Jason for the lesson, been practicing this one for a while now. There are some bits i find very hard to learn, but then again i am not an expert on guitar (yet)..

keep it up.

[mattyboi789]

I tried to learn it twice, about the second or third time i got the rythm of the picking, then i was able to play the whole thing. It is a brilliant video, and i would not of learnt one of my all time favourites if it wasn't for this vid. Thanks a lot :) Did you ever learn the next pciking part and the solo with pull-ons and pull-offs? And the big chriscendo at the end? Would be good to see that :)

[666deviled]

Very good mate. As a fellow picker I agree with your comments to others about just stop trying for a week and try again later and continue untill all of a sudden you get it flowing. Works with most things in life dont you think? Just never completely give up! Or as Mr Churchhill said Never Never Give Up!!!!!!!!!!

[skatooter]

great video, just wondering if you could do the slower bits even slower as im having trouble with the second bit of the chorus, cant figure out how the bass notes work with the other notes

[skatooter]

great video man, although im still having trouble with the second part of the chorus, i cannot figure it out at all. any advice? or maybe an even slower version lol? just having trouble merging the bass notes with the other notes

[mrkennethporter]

I have been bashing away at this all week and have managed to crack it.

this clip has been very helpful.

BUT I have noticed an error when compared to the GuitarPro tabs and program.

On the the last part of the last chorus section you seem to be missing a note.

check it out. google guitar pro tabs and big love

you need the program to run with the tabs and it becomes apparent. Its hardly noticeable

[jasonvincent027]

@mrkennethporter - i know exactly what part you are talking about - i struggled with it - never did wrap my head around the timing of it entirely. I will check that out - thanks.

[mrkennethporter]

@jasonvincent027 Its a real credit to the man who wrote the song when others have difficulty even playing it exactly as he did. This song has become a big mountain I must climb LOL

[orestian]

That is a pretty desent transcription! well done! Great effort! It will sure help me!

[davegebo]

I worked on this for months and then one day the whole ting just cliucked. I learned to follow the bass line and it suddenly seemed almost simple! Nice job showing the fret board, buddy. It is good when people teach this stuff and you can see more than just the top of a hand. lol. Thanks!

[richsimplereason]

nice one man :)

[mrstephenporter]

jasus. im stuck at the start

[hagpa2]

fuck this is hard! lol

[frankgrimes1234]

[sms8668]

[CSHummer]

Thanks, great help. Anyone have the solos and the double thumbing part? I can't get those for the life of me.

[BusterSuk]

Looks fun! Gonna send you my video once i'm done learning this.

[pbauw]

[edwardtang1977]

[geelad6969]

[icitnow]

This is great! I gotta give you a lotta credit for taking on Lindsey's guitar work! Wow!

[lcdryfly]

Very cool! Someday...

[SongsByLeslie]

Wow, thanks for this!  You make it look almost easy!! ;)

[stevelano]

good work sir

[skopex18]

im trying lol just that my thumb wont keep at the same rhythum while my fingers are tryin to pluck my thumb wants to do the same as my fingers as soon as they start to come into it.

[skopex18]

this is to hard to learn damn!!!

[jasonvincent027]

it took me months of pecking away at it. Stop playing it for a while, and try picking it up again a week or 2 later and so on and so on - you will get there eventually.

[guitarhelp]

is there a certain picking pattern

[jasonvincent027]

umm yeah - that is kinda the point of the video ;)

[skopex18]

hahaha scene wrecking cat!! thanks for the vid dude i love this song sounds awesome

[lukegcent]

Thank you so much for the lesson and i like how you've obviously considered camera angles since the second angle made things very clear. You're a good man Jason Vincent!

[norwayfinland]

thanks for the lesson it helps me alot;-)

[Boxer73]

not quite my friend....close but no.......you miss something when you re fast......good on slow though.....keep practicing
