Favourite part was that little improv lick at the end, had to learn it at half speed😂

angeltcmusic says:

for a classical guitarist that is just a simple warming up exercise

Tone Ohm XO* says:

How about the outro to Gypsy! That one's wild

bjk_photovideo - Beat J Korner says:

Thought Lindsey used open tune to play it. Was easier to learn too.

Brian Beers says:

Thumb is a finger but its called a thumb bc its special

R Burnett says:

Can rhis be played on a mandelin??

Kelly Houlton says:

Wow. This is why I only ever played the bass notes on the 1 and the 3! LOL! There's no way I could ever do all that!! I appreciate the breakdown though because I really love the polyrhythms. Being able to SEE it makes sense, otherwise my brain just buzzes around the whole coolness of the song 🙂

Feld Webel says:

great vid man, thanks…sort of illustrates some of mr. Buckinghams brilliance…

James Walley says:

Play classical guitar, and this is far from impossible.

Greg West says:

Thumb a finger? (nobody knows)

"The bones in our fingers and thumb are called phalanges. Each finger has 3 phalanges separated by two interphalangeal joints, except for the thumb, which only has 2 phalanges and one interphalangeal joint.

Don Pietruk says:

When Lindsey left Mac the first time they had to hire two guitarists to cover what he did when they went on tour. The picking technique and "Carter Scratch" are used extensively by Lindsey but were basically invented by Mother Maybelle Carter who helped turn the guitar from just accompaniment into a lead instrument.

John Calvin says:

Travis Kelce adv for COVID INCEPTION VAX. NIH says increases risk for covid

jailbreak says:

Buckingham can really pick it

Thomas McCartney says:

I remember picking this up a music sheet on this years ago. For us who have shorter fingers than most some of these chord shapes were truly impossible. BUT…if you tune the guitar down to a drop C tuning ( 6th string low C, 5th string G) then the fingering becomes very easy. You use far more open strings than trying to stretch an A-13th shape with small hands. The break after the brige becomes much easier as well. TRY IT

michael fraser says:

4:33 EVEN MORE BLATANT like the tune

michael fraser says:

0:28 HAND SIGNS also require plenty of stamina…BIKES AND BEARDS, SEAN LOOOKY LIKEY

Steve Bell says:

What an amazing breakdown.

Don Surdej says:

He plays it a key lower live and changes it a little from this version so don’t get hung up on exact copy

Robert Mackie says:

Lindsey is so brilliant and one of the greatest acoustic guitarists ever
