My friend Bruce Watson is in the band Foreigner and is constantly touring. Bruce is a great guitar player! I asked him if there was a song he would like to teach and he didn't hesitate.. "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac. He did great on the rhythm but also, I was super impressed with his feel and sound for the solo.

So I'm not the only guitar player who's fascinated by the guitar work on this song

[@tombundick1536]

Brad Anderson The timing in this song makes me so crazy. Still working on getting it down!

[@lisellesloan3191]

Are you serious? Buckingham is a guitar god! (Boyfriend from hell, but guitar god.)

[@jeffsnyder7223]

Not at all, plus the production of the whole song is remarkable

[@googpix540]

No it's amazing.

[@googpix540]

@@lisellesloan3191 I am of the understanding that Stevie Nicks is the girlfriend from hell ?

[@newwavepop]

it actually might be my favorite drum song ever, i am a guitar guy so i dont usually latch onto the drums but something about the drumming on this song i just love it and i always air drum to it.

[@davidmoran5431]

it''s just an awesome kind of skipbeat

[@newwavepop]

@@davidmoran5431 Skip Beat, that is actually a great name for a drummer LOL i think Stewart Copeland may be my favorite drummer but this may be my favorite drum song.

[@davidmoran5431]

@@newwavepop haha, thank you. Not a Copeland fan but will go study some now :) .

[@SirVicc]

Lindsey Buckingham is an underrated guitar genius. So happy you are breaking down such a great guitar song.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

He's great. We always loved him. And we were guitar nerds back in the 70s hooked on Page, Clapton, Beck etc. Lindsey definitely had top skills.

[@paulaandrolini5948]

Geez how many times I've heard Lindsey is underrated. Why are there so many people posting videos and guitar riffs of his if he's underrated? He was right for Fleetwood Mac and nothing other than that in my opinion. I watched Tusk concert broadcast on PBS last night and was a snoozer Stevie fest.

[@bradleybrown8399]

SirVicconius hardly under-rated. He is in the hall of fame

[@TheReubenKincaid]

Sir Vic and Lindsay has never asked to borrow a pick and kept it....

[@Zdub811]

Jesus he killed it

[@randyevans6378]

Bruce and I were in a band together in the late 70's named Aragorn. "Go Your Own Way" was one of the very few non-original songs we played. Most of our songs were written by Bruce and some were really good. His and my guitar playing styles were so different that they complemented each other. Our band had a lot of potential but alas, out of nowhere, one day Aragorn ceased to exist. I never did get answer why but that was the funnest time of my life and losing the band almost made me quit playing guitar altogether.

[@davidbrown2806]

Tim is a passionate guy on guitar and about guitar. However, I have never seen him have so much fun and be so excited with a song before. If I had only one song to do at a jam ..... this would be it.

[@klextacy]

Lindsey's solo tone on this tune is stellar. It's got that feel that the amp is about to self destruct... but in a totally musical way. Great job, Tim! This was fun!

[@livingabovethe12th]

This is awesome! One of my all-time favorite songs to play along with! People don't realize how "windmill-y" and thrashy and kind of heavy this song really is ... it's just super fun to wail over this in D Minor busting out all your best 70s rock licks and accompanying 70s rock faces! Great bass line too. Fyi, for those who want to nerd out, he got his drive the same way Ritchie Blackmore did...using the preamp of a 2 track reel to reel (sony or awia) to overload the preamp of a marshall or hiwatt. During this time most his "heavy" chords and solos were played on a 70s cream colored "white" Les Paul Custom. In The Sound City movie / docs there is some classic photos of him tearing it up on that TV white Les Paul Custom at Sound City.

[@tomwhitaker1]

I have always loved Lindsey's guitar sound on this song (ALL of his guitar sounds on this song!) and my absolute favorite thing which they barely mention is the feedback swells on the first guitar solo. I love how it ramps up and feels like it's almost is going to get away from him and then he goes onto the next phrase. I think it makes it powerful and emotional.

[@allenrm120]

Wow. Bruce's economy of motion is excellent.

[@ericrudd]

I had the pleasure of engineering the Out of the Cradle album alongside Kevin Killen. What a crazy time. I found a recording with isolated tracks of this song. I play the acoustic part in our local cover band....and the sound of that part has been tugging at my ears for months now. For anyone that is interested, I discovered tonight that the part is not played D-shape capo'd at the third fret as Tim does here. (sorry Tim, not meaning to correct you!!!). I firmly believe it is capo'd at the 5th fret and played in C-shape. Simply lift your third finger (E) for the alternating first chord......second chord is Gsus4. Finally the third chord is an F with the third of the chord (A) lifting off for the open G note. So to my ear….the C note on the second string carries throughout. Boom.....instant sound on the record. The chorus is simply Am F G. (Need to double check…it may be Gsus4) After watching Lindsey record his parts....he rarely tuned his guitar to A440. Most often he would double/triple/quadruple tracks by having me varispeed the multitrack to the pitch of his guitar as best I could. It's that Buckingham "chorus" sound that everyone seems to chase. It's done on GYOW as well. The guitar is also EQ'd with not much bottom end.

[@janellesadler]

Thanks Tim and Bruce! What a fun video. You both are killin' on this song, which is one of my all time faves too. Love your guitar sounds. YESSSSS

[@jimmyowenmusic]

Lindsey is so underrated as a guitarist, Wonderful musician! Is solo albums have some sensational work on them! =)

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

Classic jam !! One of my all-time favorites. Tim is not only one of the best guitar players on the planet, but has an incredible ear picking out all the variables in those familiar riffs... And Bruce.... there's not enough room to list all the great things about his work !! Really enjoyed this, 👍👍

[@Joe-mz6dc]

When discussing the technical and artistic aspects of a song then playing it beautifully becomes an art form of its own kind.

[@JimNavarro]

Thank you guys, It's an incredible song, Lindsay Buckingham is a genius, his guitar playing is my favorite!

Often overlooked, but everyone can appreciate this infectious groove.

[@999gremlins]

My favorite song by Fleetwood Mac song. I learned how to play this and it was never quite "right". Listening to you two guys opened my eyes to how much is actually going on in this song. Tim you are a genius. Bruce is a great guitarist to jam with. I see the Pierce/Watson band on the horizon :) Well done guys

Two masters 👍🏻 Brilliant and thanks boys 👍🏻

[@musicmann1967]

I saw a doc about the making of Rumours where Lindsey said that when he came up with the 12 string part (that Tim plays), that it was the key to the rhythm of the song for him. It bridged what the drums were doing against the straight rhythm guitars. I love that kinda shit!! :)

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Except it wasn’t a twelve string…it was a six-string Dobro, capo at the 8th fret.

[@musicmann1967]

@@AllenGarberGuitarFun I could swear Lindsey said it was a capo'ed 12 string, but I defer to you.

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

@@musicmann1967 Ray Lindsey, Brett Tuggle and Neale Haywood were the three guitarists who played rhythm guitar on live Fleetwood Mac tours between 1977-2018, mostly in the shadows. The main parts they played were the acoustic six string rhythm on “Go Your Own Way”, again capoed at the 8th fret. Most concert videos do not show them, but they are there. When Lindsey performed the song as a solo artist in later years, he would use a Boss Loop Station and pre-record that part for playback on the song while he played his Rick Turner Model 1.

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of how to play the song. The guy in this video also gives an alternative way to play the acoustic six string part with a capo at the 3rd fret, but this is just a more comfortable way to play it and not how it was played on the album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inSye3iKiMeZfck

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

You can see Lindsey’s guitar tech Ray Lindsey playing the part live in 1977 at the 2:11 mark here on a six string with the 8th fret capo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZe5iJKalNqZgZY

Remarkable demonstration. While only Lindsay can ever cop any Lindsay riff convincingly, Mr Watson definitely conveys the vibe of every part. Patience articulation and controlled frenzy is The Buckingham way, a uniquely gifted virtuoso like no other

Here’s a major tip…the acoustic part on the album is not a twelve string, it is a 6-string Dobro with the capo at the 8th fret.

[@g.grimaldi2620]
