Love this song, too bad this is not really a lesson and all the supposed lessons on here for this song suck. The one guy that obviously knows how to play it and Guitar World could not get him to really explain what he is doing. Even at the slowed down part it is hard to tell for sure the pattern he is using. No wonder so many different videos and tabs have people guessing it thousands of different ways.
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
@12Radius Well spotted! This looks like an early 70s D-18. Clearly, LB, or someone, has decided to experiment with the intonation, hence the 3-pce. Additionally, it is not always easy to get a good balanced transduced sound from a standard Martin bridge, say with a Fishman AG undersaddle. Breaking the saddle into 2 or 3 bits SOMETIMES improves things. I guess here he has 3x2-string piezo elements wired in parallel.
Thanks to Mr. Buchingham for the down to earth arrangement. I'm liking it! I use the thumb and three fingers myself, interesting! Nice. I'm a self learner from reading books and watching all kinds of videos on music. Really nice to see Lindsey breaking it down, means alot to a listener whose been listening to Fleetwood Mac since the early 70s more into the 80s of my teens! Very cool!
@ImSuperHaute He is tuned down 1/2 step to E flat, but, yes, it does appear he is ever so slightly out of tune, but wow, the writer teaching his own song!! don't see that too often do you?
@WriteNoteGrimsby It's standard tuning as far as I know, except his guitar is slightly out of tune so I guess he's playing just a little off standard! Love the song tho. My son loves me to play this to him at bedtime...
its amazing how he can just grab the guitar and easily play landslide. i've seen him play this song sometimes with his eyes close. very underrated. i know he could definately play better than alot of guitarist.
@cindycavylover123 yeah hes a great guitar player never disputed that its just that landslide is a particularly easy song not a song worth rating his guitar skills off..
Wrong name with Fleetwood Mac's 'legendary' guitarist. Surely that should read Peter Green, 'he had the sweetest tone I ever heard, he was the only one who ever gave me the cold sweats' according to B.B. King. Just sayin'...
Interested to hear him say he doesn't read music. This is what is special about artists like him and others in the past. They felt the music they played. They played from the heart. That is what I feel is missing from music today. Music today is too technical, too clever now.
@cliffedward Completely the opposite actually, I terms of structure nothing has changed, the difference now is the production approach, everything is dumbed down and technology has replaced musicianship, knowledge, craft and skill.
@cliffedward That is not what's special about artists like him. Please don't make it sound like being able to read music has a detrimental effect on your musicianship.
@cliffedward i dont even think its technical...i think its just notes people think sound good together and they throw shitty lyrics on them and call it music. there isn't any emotion behind it, and if there is, it's all generic and cliche.
@cliffedward I agree with most of what you wrote. I don't know if I'd call it "too clever" now, but I do think that too many solutions are found in the computer instead of in the performance.
Linsey seems like a down to earth guy whos still in awe of the guitar and humble to boot. I just had a look at this after seeing some Richard LLoyd guitar lessons and its obvious that LB has creative talent in spades and plays what he feels rather than being a master of technique. Which is the way I think it should be.
His guitar is not out of tune. He is not quite as comfortable playing it in the open position. I'm not either. Plus he's dumbing it down a bit with the tempo. It's hard to play something differently when you've been playing it for twenty years yeah? Even the great Doc Watson has a hard time showing people how to play stuff slow. Put a capo on the third fret and give the song a try. It'll sound just fine.
Here Lindsey mentions Scotty Moore. Check out Scotty's son R Stevie Moore on Youtube..Great artist...songs like "Don't Let Me Go To The Dogs" "I like To Stay Home"
He is so amazing. He seems like someone that would be really interesting to speak with. I love his primitive, natural way of playing. So thankful for him!
Interesting that the guitar is completely unbranded -- no logo visible anywhere. Wonder if he or GW insisted on that? May not even be his guitar -- may have asked the writer to bring his own, unbranded guitar.
@mbumburu Looks like a D-28 Martin. Sixties maybe? My grandpa had one from the fifties with a tortoiseshell pickgaurd and ebony tailpiece. Although ebony can sometimes be mistaken for rosewood. So hard to say for sure, but that's my guess.
Lindsey is sooo underrated as a guitarist it ticks me off! Along with Stevie Nicks it was Lindseys guitar playing that made FM such a hot band!!! Aside from Lindsey I love Santana - but that's it. Noone else does it for me.
Agreed on the MArk Knopfler thing! He is as bad as it gets.
Coming to mind, only he and LB use finger picking in a rock context. And also Jeff Beck.
Not to start argument, as I love Buckinham's playing a lot...but Knopfler does surpass him in terms of technical skills and variety of styles. MK's lead work is on par with Gilmoure if you ask me. Just a LOT more country(Chet) ish.
@M16second totally. He's probably my favorite guitarist ever. I once brought up on a forum in a thread called "Unpopular Music Opinions" that he was the best guitar player ever. I got laughed at by a guy, saying he wasn't even the best player in Fleetwood Mac. But I dunno, his playing always stuck with me I think because he doesn't really sound like anyone else and if I did play, I'd want to emulate him big time.
Yep. One of the few natural musicians. Neil Young is another. McCartney. They don't have to work for it. It just comes and their playing is effortless.
@M16second I disagree. I think anybody who has listened to Lindsey's playing recognizes his greatness. I think he has kind of just hid in the shadow behind Stevie. This is interesting because I think the exact same thing happened with Mike Campbell hiding in the shadows behind Tom Petty.
Ever notice there are countless guitar magazines showcasing the greatest guitarists of the last 60 years and the same ones over and over again? And yet LB has never once made a cover or been showcased in a proper light? He's better than most famous ones on a skill level alone. They even make a big deal out of guitarists who only have a cult following. I think Lindsey falls squarely between the two poles. If i ran a guitar magazine, i would only showcase the underdogs like Rory Gallagher.
Not many artists would take the time to show you how to play a song they've played a zillion times. You can hear the pain in the tone of the guitar still.
I love this video so much!!! If I could have a private lesson w/ Lindsey Buckingham, it would be like learning kung fu from Pai Mei. After he teaches me everything he knows, I'd become invincible!
One of the best pickers of all time IMHO. <3 Thanks for doing this video Lindsey. Not many with your rep would do something like this. A thousand times, thank you.
i had the distinct pleasure to meet mr. buckingham at JFK airport in the southwest airlines baggage claim. i was surprised-id figure he would have flown 1st class! what a pleasant person-a gentleman and courteous to me even tho i interrupted a conversation he was having with a lovely woman. i will never forget that-thanks lindsey!
reading is boring anyhow, real anything(even trades other than music) requires instinct to be more effective. Reading is tripping on other people's crap. If he plays a certain way, he plays a certain way, if you do "what your sposta" as people tell me, you won't get anything done at all.
@pasodiufwen > I'm not sure I agree... The artist is the "icing on the cake." The sponsor is "Guitar World" and the setting is a recording studio, which represents production, where perfection is the goal. The interviewee is a guitarist and the instrument should be tuned. The foreknowledge that the discussion would evolve to "Landslide" would also suggest a capo would be located on the 3rd fret of the tuned guitar positioned next to Mr. Buckingham.... and THAT is the point.
@softsummernights He sounds out of tune because he IS out of tune. The guitar is not in tune with itself, period. Lindsay IS amazing. I'm surprised he let it go without insisting the guitar was in tune with itself--440 or otherwise.
@ 7:08...does he have his ring finger on the G string or is it jus middle and pinky on the E and B string. Not sure what chord. It looks like G/F# OR SOMETHING ??
Lindsey never got the credit he deserved as a great guitarist, but my God, how could anyone ever be expected to follow the magnificent Peter Green! In all fairness, they should have changed the name after Peter and Danny Kirwin left the band. And here's to hoping that Peter continues his comeback, and that Danny gets better and one day will play again. A couple of bad acid hits at a commune in Munich one night took both of these legends down. So sad.
Lindsey is special because he plays loose and free. He doesn't give a damn about shredding or all that other technical crap. He's technique is imperfect and that's what I love about it.
I saw that rag, rolling stone list with Joan Jett in it. I was disgusted when they left out Alex Lifeson and missed that they didnt put Buckingham in it who drives the bus on most underrated players. Love his playing. so much talent. rolling stone mag has become irrelevant. Laughable at best.
@SammyPrairiechicken I aree..without question lindsey is VERY underated..Alex lifeson is above it all anyway..im 43 years old and when i was 20 or 21 a friend turned me on to 2112...loved it!!
I find it odd that so many great musician's from his era were inspired by rubbish albums like "Heartbreak Hotel". Forget Elvis. All hail Chuck Berry, the One True King of Rock n' Roll!
Nice gent, but It's funny how these former greats end up surrounding themselves with more musical gear than furniture. Thing is, he could at least have tuned his guitar for the presentation.
Not that Lindsey isn't one of the very Greatest, but just want to be viewer number 123456? How about a prize here Mr. B? Front row ticket or somptin...
The story of Stevie and Linsdsey's venture into Fleetwood is one Great story!
I learned guitar by listening like Lindsey but he's lightyears better than I will ever be. Man if I was ever going to do an album I'd want him playing on it. The tastiest player out there. His playing really made all those FLMC songs.
i love fleetwood mac. huge huge fan. grew up to my dad playing his fleetwood mac vinyl blaring it throughout my house. the funny thing is im only sixteen and im obsessed with music from this time.....im OBSESSED with jimi hendrix hence the user name.
His guitar is slightly out of tune.

Lindsey never got the credit he deserved as a great guitarist, but my God, how could anyone ever be expected to follow the magnificent Peter Green! In all fairness, they should have changed the name after Peter and Danny Kirwin left the band. And here's to hoping that Peter continues his comeback, and that Danny gets better and one day will play again. A couple of bad acid hits at a commune in Munich one night took both of these legends down. So sad.

Lindsey is special because he plays loose and free. He doesn't give a damn about shredding or all that other technical crap. He's technique is imperfect and that's what I love about it.

I saw that rag, rolling stone list with Joan Jett in it. I was disgusted when they left out Alex Lifeson and missed that they didnt put Buckingham in it who drives the bus on most underrated players. Love his playing. so much talent. rolling stone mag has become irrelevant. Laughable at best.

It's fairly minor, but lol at the title (at the title's fail itself).
"Fleetwood's Mac" = a lol fail.
Oh, and Lindsey Buckingham is a wicked guitarist and a wicked, classy guy.

I find it odd that so many great musician's from his era were inspired by rubbish albums like "Heartbreak Hotel". Forget Elvis. All hail Chuck Berry, the One True King of Rock n' Roll!

Think the guitar is generally in tune, just the low E string and B string are out of tune a bit none the less. It's still ok.

Nice gent, but It's funny how these former greats end up surrounding themselves with more musical gear than furniture. Thing is, he could at least have tuned his guitar for the presentation.

I learned guitar by listening like Lindsey but he's lightyears better than I will ever be. Man if I was ever going to do an album I'd want him playing on it. The tastiest player out there. His playing really made all those FLMC songs.
