It's rare that one of the largest selling acts in pop history also can offer some of the most aesthetically pleasing and challenging music, but that's been the case since the mid-'70s, when successful Brit rock band Fleetwood Mac was joined by the powerhouse duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and the rest was-as the saying goes-history.

With a series of mega-platinum albums that set worldwide sales records--including Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk and many more-the band also launched successful solo careers for both Buckingham and Nicks, who managed to record on their own and with Fleetwood Mac.
Lindsey Buckingham's solo career officially began with 1981's Law & Order and its 1984 follow-up Go Insane. Since that time, between solo tours, Fleetwood Mac reunion albums and tours, Buckingham has continued producing top-notch material that keeps pushing creative boundaries.

Prior to releasing his most recent album Gift Of Screws, Buckingham was captured in live performance at Bass Performance Hall in Ft. Worth, Texas; that performance was eventually released last year on DVD, and the performances were eye-opening.

In an article about great guitar riffs, Yahoo Music gives Lindsey a little mention as a guitarist who is "too smart for six strings."

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham is also a guitar mad scientist (listen to "Never Going Back Again" from '77's "Rumours," and you'll swear it took three people to play his solo riff).
