YOUR Favorite Lindsey guitar solo

[mylittledemon]

So what's your favorite Lindsey Buckingham guitar solo? Mine, I would have to say is from the Rumours version of "The Chain." The simplicity of it, the tone...it gives me goosebumps to this day, every time I hear it.

My 2nd runners up are: I'm So Afraid from The Dance, Go Your Own Way from Rumours, This is the Time from Out of the Cradle, Come from Live in Boston, Murrow Turning Over in His Grave from SYW, and of course Big Love from the Dance (its one big guitar solo)

I agree with those. :nod:

I'm adding the ending to Gypsy.

[GypsySorcerer]

I'm adding the ending to Gypsy.

That's my favorite part of the song. :)

I like the ones already mentioned. ISA from The Dance is probably my favorite.

[GateandGarden]

"Gypsy"
"Don't Let Me Down Again"
"Frozen Love"

Also, the one on "Family Man." <3333 It's the only part of the song I like but it's a great part! :nod:

[shackin'up]

"Gypsy"
"Don't Let Me Down Again"
"Frozen Love"



These are good choices!

I'll add those in:
Go your own way,
Play in the rain,
Ending of bleed to love her on SYW.

Oh and i'll turn in the ISA_Dance-solo ANYTIME for the one on "live 1980" OR Live in Boston. On the Dance he is too much in control: this solo has to turn into a pitbull......

[mylittledemon]

Yeah the ending to Gypsy is great. I much prefer the extended version which appears on The Chain boxed set.

I also dig the ending to Bleed to Love Her on SYW. It's very pretty, and easy to play. It has some sort of backwards delay going on there or something.

[face of glass]

Some of my favourites that haven't been mentioned yet:

"Deep Dense" (it's like a fanfare, by gum)
"Loving Cup" (oozes threatening atmosphere)

Introduction to "Oh Daddy" (live 1977-1980)
"Hold Me"
"I Know I'm Not Wrong" (a great sense of relief)
"Sisters Of The Moon" (on a good Tusk tour night)

etc, etc.

[shackin'up]

"Loving Cup" (oozes threatening atmosphere)


Yeah!
That's a great one too!



oh and johnny stew!

Welcome to the Ledge Bwana! Good choices. And a great screenname, too!

[wondergirl9847]

My faves are:

ISA (any version, but with The Dance, even though I think he's done better and crazier solos, this version is the very first ISA I heard/watched on the Dance video I got off Ebay waaaaaay back in 2001 as a newbie fan. He blew my mind and I watched him in awe.)

Isn't It Midnight (I freakin' love this song and his solo kicks)

Doing What I Can (At minute 3:32 - 3:36, I get chills everytime I hear that part. It's really not that spectacular, I'm sure, to most people, but I adore that part.)

GYOW (On Rumours only)

Come (any version, but Live in Boston kicks)

Go Insane (The Dance kicks, but I am in love with the NYC and Philadelphia versions from the OOTC tour....that midieval thing he did....greatness)

The Chain (Mirage concert....when I'm home alone, those speakers get almost blown out and my neck gets sore from headbanging. LOL)

Murrow (Hoping and praying he does this one on tour!! PLEASE!!!)

Welcome to the Ledge, Bwana! I love that song too! :thumbsup:

[chiliD]

"Loving Cup" (oozes threatening atmosphere)
Introduction to "Oh Daddy" (live 1977-1980)
"Sisters Of The Moon"

Concur 100% with the above...AND...

Isn't It Midnight
Blue Letter
the amalgamation that became the end solo on Go Your Own Way
You Make Loving Fun
Monday Morning (only because he's playing slide)
Intro to Don't Look Down
Family Man
2nd solo on Trouble
the solo he did at the end of Countdown on David Letterman back in 93.

[CreepingDeath]

"Gypsy"
"Don't Let Me Down Again"
"Frozen Love"

I agree with those. :thumbsup:

Also:

Tango in the Night
Sisters of the Moon
Street of Dreams
Go Insane (The Dance)

[Vianna]

the end of Gypsy-OMG, takes my breath away
Tango in the Night
Come
The Chain-he makes that guitar scream-wish I knew how he does that..

[John Run]

the solo he did at the end of Countdown on David Letterman back in 93.[/QUOTE]

This is a great rare gem. The fantastic thing about this over the top minute long solo, is he had not played live in 3 years or so before this, not too mention how often on tightly timed network TV does someone get to go off on a solo like this?

[Sahara]

I'm So Afraid, from the Dance. No question!! But Come on Live in Boston comes very close, as does Tango in the Night ... man, I'd give anything to see him perform that live. It's one of my all time favourites ... is it on VHS or DVD anywhere?

[mylittledemon]

Yeah I like Tango in the Night too. It was one of the first Lindsey guitar solos I learned. I also like the So Afraid from Live in Boston, at least the first 45 seconds of it. He plays a lot of the same notes over and over at one point and it gets irritating.

So what's your favorite Lindsey Buckingham guitar solo? Mine, I would have to say is from the Rumours version of "The Chain." The simplicity of it, the tone...it gives me goosebumps to this day, every time I hear it.

so many to choose from. Right now, I'd have to say Oh Well form live in 1980...its awesome! First solo of his, i learned all the way through!

[Tom]

That little "lick" he plays toward the end of the song right after Christine sings,"oooooo-ooo, you make loving fun".

[mylittledemon]

no Sahara, I dont believe Tango in the Night was ever performed live. Probably one of those gems we'll never get to see. Although I never thought "I Know I'm Not Wrong" would break out on the Say You Will tour!

I like Lindsey's licks on You Make Loving Fun too. His guitar work on the Mirage concert version of Sisters of the Moon is amazing too.

[David]

If he solo'd on "Bwana" on Saturday Night Live, THAT'S my favorite.

[DownOnRodeo]

The solo at the end of TITT (hah, unfortunate acronym for This is the Time) is riveting.

Also - RTTG!

BWAH! I left off Tango in the Night...woops!!

[xxxmx]

i like lindsey's licks too... ;)

gypsy acoustic (AHI Benefit) was beyond great, but how can we overlook NGBA? the simple twangy part that didn't make it to the album - the 'brushes' bridge, that kills me. oh, and the look on his face while he plays that part is... inspiring?

[jbrownsjr]

Sisters of the Moon (Mirage Tour)
Hold Me (Mirage LP)

[shackin'up]

Also - RTTG!

:blob2: :blob2: :blob2:

absolutely! That's some of his most driving and creative riffs and licks-stuff!!

also in Shuffle Riff....

[chiliD]

The solos on "I'm So Afraid", "Tango In The Night" & "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" are all so similar I can't imagine somebody liking one, but not the other two or any variation of that...seems to me if you liked one, you'd like all three. :shrug:

[SteveMacD]

Frozen Love
I'm So Afraid
Oh Well
Countdown
Wrong
This Is The Time
