Lindsey Buckingham is a record producer who happens to be a more than competent guitarist. Rick Vito is a guitar player through & through.
Apples & oranges.

I think if you are technically proficient and can play with emotion (as both Vito and LB can) then it comes down, perhaps to songwriting ability I think. Certainly there are many acomplished players. Our own Seteca I personally believe plays NGBA even better than LB.
Of course, you have to think the choice of notes before you play them. What comes out is a combination of what you are thinking, the tone you are using and the emotions you are feeling at the time (e.g. how you bend, strike a particular note, which can change every single time).. All this can only be done within the confines of the particular song however. It has to "fit".. So its the vision of the songwriter that ultimately dictates who is "better" if you want to term it like that. |

Maybe 150.000 people can play NGBA better. It says nothing at all. You have to be the first. When I hear Vito, I never think he was the first to play what he plays. Even in his own songs. Still, a very gifted guitarplayer. His tone and feel are fantastic. But on idiosyncrasy, style and level of the role the playing has in the songwriting, LB is unbeatable.
Am I letting me drag in the same **** as before with/against the same people as before?

I know. But it was a step up to the sentence that followed. You quoted the wrong one to respond to.
But maybe it's better this way.

Anyway, in terms of unbeatable? I doubt it. LB's strength is as a "package deal" as he might say. Arranger, guitarist, singer, writer etc etc. He is very gifted in many areas. I saw Prince last week and gotta say he is right up there at the top, in terms of the complete package. You may not like his music but I can't think of anybody in the business with a command of more talents then he has. |

Total Control with a rolling John McVie bass line. I like it.

According to the dream I had recently, the line-up will be Mick, John, Chrisitine, Stevie AND Bekka, Billy and a tall blonde man with crooked teeth.
Could be Harry Vanda of The Easybeats/Vanda & Young/Flash & The Pan. Maybe Danny comes good. |

He is fine David. Doing very well in his chosen field and really too busy to post these days. I spent a few days with him in London last week and he is just as passionate about the music.
