Lindsey Buckingham is criminally underrated. As a songwriter, as a guitarist, and as a vocalist.

[@wingsofpegasus]

👍

[@MrJviner1]

you got that right bro

[@need4speednv]

Kylie McInnes Hell yea

[@xyz2121]

He is very highly rated.

[@lolotaeja3911]

Not underrated at all. Still the lead guitarist for the most successful album ever recorded. The accolades for him are almost endless, deservedly. Considered one of the top 100 guitarists ever.

[@robertburke784]

I was never a big Fleetwood mac fan, so I never got to hear Lyndsey really play. He was no Clapton, Page, or Beck, he never jammed. I was VERY wrong! Mr. Buckingham should be a guitar GOD. He is every bit as good as those other legends, and maybe better! His finger picking is absolutely amazing and so is this performance. As others here have said, maybe the most underrated musician of his time.

[@deborahhatcher186]

I think Lindsey mite be a little bit better than Beck...

[@Pulsar77]

Check this out: I'm so Afraid (Live 1980, Cleveland, OH): kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4POmXhvnLaqbMk One of the best solos you'll ever hear.

Please check out his solo work and the Buckingham Nicks album (album prior to FM with Stevie), it's easy to find on youtube.

[@dennisstark8238]

A man that can own up to his oversight(s) is a man indeed -- Lindsey is the man for me -- right after he wrote "Go Your Own Way" -- best break-up song ever

[@sdemosi]

His live performances are amazing. I didn't get to see the 80s stuff but I saw him in the 90s and was very impressed.

[@jamstonjulian6947]

It's no joke to say when I first heard this on record I thought there were three instruments playing at once, and not including his vocals. I was about 12. But to this day, even though I play guitar myself, I don't fully understand how he does what he does. I don't know how he manages to finish every song without blood all over his fingers the way he hits those strings.

[@saraheart2804]

I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time. To play the guitar and sing like that together is amazing. Lindsey is one of my favorites.

[@jackvonewegen7656]

"FROZEN LOVE" ... one of the all time greats... Both Buckingham and Nick's at their very best and so very young. Cataclysmic chemistry!

Glad to hear you mentioned the bit about needing to hire 2 guitars after he left, epic story indeed!

No Lindsey, no Fleetwood Mac. He was the heart and soul of that band. When I first saw Fleetwood Mac, the only person I was familiar with was Stevie Nicks. I walked out going "HOLY CRAP! THAT LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM GUY WAS AMAZING!" Fleetwood Mac needs Lindsey and needs to show their appreciation for him. Fleetwood Mac wouldn't be touring today if it wasn't for Lindsey, fact.

[@mkwrockers0099]

Lindsey is one of the greatest guitarists of all time imo. He is very underrated.

[@Pb-ij4ip]

mkwrockers0099 usually when someone says underrated I interpret that as “underknown” (while being highly rated by those who do know). In this case, however, I believe underrated is well used.

[@gregroberts3183]

He is basically accompanying himself... WOW, what a fantastic musician! I've always loved his playing, he puts his little touches in just the right spot. One of my favorites, without Lindsey it's just Fleetwood, yeah whatever...

[@denest3435]

Greatest guitarist and composer

He was also the producer for all the FM hit albums. When he left after Tango in the Night, the band had no hits until he came back to FM.

[@garyross8661]

Tango in the night was basically a solo project he had almost finished before rejoining FM and basically gifting the band the album. No Buckingham no FM

[@myownchannel247]

How could anyone fire this guy? That was a helluva lot better rendition of Big Love than Fleetwood Mac's original version (imo) and had more emotion and originality. I'm glad that he is now getting some of the attention he deserves as a solo act.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Exactly!

[@LB-tx8hg]

The only attention he's getting is because of Fleetwood Mac and not because of his music

[@estoy1001]

The fact he used to smack Stevie around was a pretty big factor...

[@amyc8004]

[@Lemonfreak1111]

I played this song during one of the open mics in my town and I can confirm that this was the hardest acoustic song ive ever learned in my life. As a guitarist who has been playing for 7 years, this took me 3 months to learn and play while singing. Lindsey is truly a master at his craft and he should not go unnoticed as one of the greatest musical geniuses of his time.

[@carlandersonlll6861]

Try playing Fleetwood Mac's Albatross. 3 guitars into1 guitar. I seen it done in KZbin and wonder how it is done.

[@cynthiatamasi5575]

Buckingham is a Masterful Rocker ..His singing, guitar playing & lyrics..🌟Pure Music Genius🌟

[@shannonbennett987]

He is seriously underrated as a rock guitarist. There are very few out there who can play rock the way he plays it. He can throw down the rock jam with the best of them. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves, not just for his guitar playing, but also the fact that he brought Stevie's ideas to life. He should be held up as the guitar God he actually is.

all these people say hes 'underrated', he was in one of the very most massively popular legendary beloved great bands of all time, countless millions all around for 50 years, man, we f*ckin love them, its just like when people say mick taylor and robbie krieger are underrated- who by? > total f kin morons who know nothing?

I love his work on Hold Me, too. He magicaly weaves that song with his guitar.

[@paulfuller8985]

I took some friends of mine to see Fleetwood Mac as a wedding anniversary present a few years ago . Lindsey Buckingham was great . Seeing him play up close with that weird finger style he has was really fantastic . Great singer as well . He stole the show . The rest of the band were , of course , excellent .

He does it all so well. If given a choice to go see Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey or go see just Lindsey..... I'd go see Lindsey! I don't know why he isn't touring with them but I heard he himself found out on social media and that he wasn't even contacted by anyone else in the band about his not touring with them. If that's true, man! Is that messed up or what?! I think he'll be alright without em though lol. Thanks for doing justice to a such a great talent Fil!

[@wingsofpegasus]

No problem!

[@doggedout]

Can't believe I caught this as you posted... The most underappreciated player of the last 4 decades. Have seen FM 3 times since 1978. Once front row center when Lindsey performed Big Love just like that. The most amazing live guitar rendition I have ever seen. Have recently been internet feuding on a site where I posited that recent events are: "The tambourine player got a once in a generation guitar player fired. Not only from a band where he created most of the hits - but one where he created most of the tambourine players hits while doing so!" Great analysis as usual. Keep up the good work.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks Rob!

[@johncook7281]

I was trying to say some of this in my comment. That is that he was the arranger on his songs and was able to embellish Stevie's songs. Why he was fired/kicked out Fleetwood Mac may take years to know the full story.

Great video! And of course, the Mac part of Fleetwood Mac was for bassist John McVie, who also was going through a breakup with another band member, Christine McVie during the making of those records. Totally awesome band in those days with three strong singers/songwriters and top musicianship all around. And my brother had the original Buckingham/Nicks album on vinyl back in the day and we played that to death, too. Thanks for all your amazing reports, Fil. So many greats out there -- and you're not too shabby yourself! Cheers!

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks Megan!

[@dmwalker24]

When they did the tour for their reunion "The Dance", I was 17 and hadn't played guitar for long. Watching that show is what inspired me to learn to finger-pick. Not gonna lie, there was quite the learning curve with this song, but the worst of it is getting the picking pattern down with that separate melody and harmony.

[@davidbenson94]

I was one of those who suggested this performance so thanks for getting to it! I once heard him describe his technique as a variation of the Travis Pick method but it's interesting to hear that he took that approach and went down his own path. That seems to be a common thread among all artists who push the envelope within their craft. As you said, he's also one of those artists who put's everything he has into a song and wears his emotions on his sleeve. Thanks again for the analysis!

When he and Stevie joined Fleetwood Mac, they changed the sound of the band. Originally Fleetwood Mac was more blues based back in the 60s. By the time Lindsey and Stevie joined, their sound became more of a California sound, like the Eagles.

Yet another great guitarist who never quite gets the credit he deserves. The amount of emotion he puts into guitar and voice. You can tell that he spends a lot of time playing by himself by the way he keeps the rhythm and bass lines going just with the guitar. You can almost hear a three piece band.

[@randybailin4902]

Actually, you'd probably never have heard of Lindsey Buckingham without Fleetwood Mac. The group existed, and were probably better, long before he joined. They achieved great commercial success when he and Stevie Nicks joined, but a little context is in order.

[@zodspeed]

@@randybailin4902 they didn’t blow up until AFTER Lindsey came in and started producing 100% of their songs, including Stevie’s. The Buckingham Nicks album is truly underrated, and that album is what got Buckingham into Fleetwood Mac. I personally never like to compare Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac to Buckingham’s because they are basically 2 different bands, but there’s no doubt that Buckingham brought more to the table than anyone else in the band’s history.

[@jimmyplank9824]

Yes! I was actually going to recommend you do this one. As far as any performance that is just a man, his voice and guitar this is the peak for me. Buckingham has set the bar and in his 60s when most rockers are just a shadow of their former selves.
