how to play Fleetwood Mac Silver Springs guitar part

For a friend who wanted to see how to play it. It's from Fleetwood Mac's The Dance, the guitar part in the middle of the song. And yes, the guitar is a Rick Turner Model 1.

@aerodip52 heh ... you said "hole"... Umm yeah sadly I just don't have time to make videos all the time. But your request is duly noted. ;-)

great job! I saw lb in concert a couple of weeks ago and have since become intersted in this picking / strumming style. Can you give your thoughts on how to learn this...or can you point me in the right direction? again, great job!

@bammerwiki Unfortunately it's not a style I was taught. I started playing classical (nylon string) guitar when I was a teen so I always played with my fingers. I started playing electric guitar in early 1997, and later a friend of mine said "Hey you play like Lindsey Buckingham!" I remember saying "Who is she?" ;-) If you want to play like Buckingham I suggest you study his technique and other players that use their fingers (Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler to name a few)

@bammerwiki Just stop using a pick altogether and your fingers will begin to learn what to do; I have not used a pick since 1991. They type of guitar I am playing will change my strumming and picking patterns - strumming chords with a Telecaster is just like playing with a pick but without one, steel string acoustic involves thumb, index finger, and flamenco style use of middle, ring, and pinky simultaneously. Don't bother copying - just do.

@birtchfeld1 Good advice from birtchfeld (to bammerwiki)... Pick a handful of songs you like and just try learning them with your fingers. Picking songs that are "fingerpicked" in particular helps (Fire & Rain by James Taylor comes to mind). Best of luck!

@Tommatt81 I just video-ed a closeup of the solo with my acoustic guitar. Will upload it shortly.

@PonyboyInNewZealand should be able to figure it out from watching the video and listening to what i'm doing. I'm getting a little lost at around 0:26. At least this vid set me straight from the horrible tab I found

@Tommatt81 It's all pretty much on the top two strings... frets 5, 8, 10, 8... then 3, 5, 3, 1... then 3, 5, 8... etc
