Guitar

So, it's 1 am here and I suddenly felt the need to teach myself a Mac song on the guitar, so for the last half hour or so, I've been trying to play Landslide. That is the easiest song to learn right? That's what I figured at least, but maybe someone else has a better suggestion?

I'm assuming you're talking about songs to learn by Fleetwood Mac...? Well, I guess it varies from person to person but I think the easiest song to play is Dreams. Go Your Own Way is super easy too. Rhiannon is easy. Silver Springs is easy.

I can play most of the Mac songs with general ease...but I would say the heavier of the "fingerpicking" tunes like The Chain, Landslide, Big Love, World Turning, and Bleed to Love Her are "tougher."

I can play Bleed to Love Her (that might've been the first real song I learned to play in its entirety) the Chain, and Big Love (my latest accomplishment) and would LOVE to get my hands on some more songs that contain fingerpicking, like Miranda, World Turning, Stephanie, Frozen Love, Django, Say Goodbye, etc. Anything like that. Can anyone help me out on where to find tabs?

Wanting to play Big Love is the only reason I ever started playing guitar. I'm still not quite there yet, but I am learning fast. I'll stick with the easier songs for now.

Well if you can play those songs, you should be able to learn by ear.

Big Love acoustic version.....I don't think my brain works that fast!

I DO think landslide is probably the easiest fingerpicking song he does though.

That's one thing I'm NOT good at, unfortunetly.

I wish I could improve my skills at learning or even figuring out tabbing by ear. I got my tabs at www.ultimate-guitar.com

That's an awesome site, thanks!! And yes, I made that my long term goal: learn how to play Big Love. I'm still working on some parts, and my hand gets tired around the middle of the song! I don't know if I'll ever play it full through!!

I said the same thing, and now years later I find I can play it.

I guess it is possible then.

Thanks for those encouraging words.

I actually have difficulty playing more of Lindsey's solo stuff...especially his "Out of the Cradle" stuff. The solo on "This is the Time"!?!?! Sheesh...forget it! =)

I have already picked up most of the "Live in Boston" stuff....hell, the solos on "Come" and "I'm So Afraid" are practically identical. I learned the "Come" solo in an afternoon.
