he has beautiful hands. love him!

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.

I love the way that Lindsey Buckingham can speed pick the strings with his fingers as if the guitar were a banjo. What a unique sound. Big Love acoustic is awesome!

His guitar is slightly out of tune.

@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.

@comeonman1100 perhaps you should look into what Travis style means.

@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.

@imegaphoneeeee you sound like may form the movie "may" :O im afraid right now... please dont take hes hands and make him into a puppet...

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.

@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.
