Landslide Fingerstyle Guitar Tutorial - Part 1 of 2 (the accompaniment) by Ricky Molina
In this video, I walk you through the fingerstyle playing of Stevie Nicks' and Lindsey Buckingham's classic hit from the Fleetwood Mac album. The tutorial shows you 3 different fingerpicking patterns (from the studio and live versions) that you can use to play this beautiful melodic song.
I'm using a capo on the 3rd fret as Lindsey does to accompany Stevie Nicks (who sings the song in the key of D#). I refer to all chords as if they were in standard tuning, so we're in the key of C.
This is Part 1 (the accompaniment part). Part 2 follows this video (click on the end card at the end of the video). Part 2 covers the acoustic guitar solo that Lindsey plays on live versions.
You can access a Guitar Pro pdf with chords and tabs at drive.google.com/file/d/15s_fGVYu-pPkIbOjcS7fe1U1NYMdb_tD/view?usp=sharing
Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Midi Ghost Notes or Audio Cutting Out on Playback? Here's a Likely Solution - Ricky Molina
I can do this… I’m learning to play between the dots🎉
don't get lost!🙄
Best class!!! Thanks.
Thanks!
Amazing Thank you Ricky for sharing the knowledge 😊
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it.🙂
I have some strain in my hands after working in a factory years ago so I pretty much go as light as I can, I prefer round wounds and the only I would add to your thoughts I have a guild with a bigsby vibrato and that usually works better with an unwound 3rd string, I have a couple of jazz guitars with the same pickups Gibson P94s and one has flats and the other has round wounds, my acoustic arch tops get lighter silk and steel more Django style strings
Thanks for your comments. I too much prefer roundwound strings as a fingerpicking guy. I actually never use flats unless I absolutely need that hallmark jazz sound on a home recording.
His not a virtuoso
Cut the crap.
❤❤❤❤ ty
Thanks.
cheers dude
Cheers!
outstanding tones
yup, it's a great guitar!
Thank you for the help and ideas fr :)
you're welcome!
Good info but the Godan still sounds too piezo(ee?) to me. Playability and tone are my two biggest requirements. Especially with my aging hands.
yes, playability is great but there's nothing like miking up a real classical gtr (like Earl Klugh on his later solo albums).
Thank You so much sir!! When I did a text search it seemed like all the reviews were great! Was getting excited and your vid and the comments your site has gained has saved me a lot of grief. So glad you made this video. I miss the bric k and mortar studios with real people! I hope/ pray you were able to get new students via better options.
You're welcome!
Bro get to the point
Great voicings, especially for those of us that can’t play those Ted Greene chords….thank you!!
Way back when I played gigs I found I was using light gauge strings at home and heavier ones when gigging. I think the higher volumes weren't holding as well with my light gauge strings.
Great lesson, thank you much!
You're welcome!
Wonderful video with great references.
Thanks so much.
Yikes, glad I saw this. :-o
Thanks for your feedback.
magnifique ! Bravo !
Ted Greene?
Yes, I forgot to mention...
Very good connection between chords and soloing here. I start to learn Jazzguitar from Fred Sokolow's ¨The Complete Jazz Guitar'' and leared the songs. Every song was analyzed with use of scales and chord progression's. Also learned from a book from Joe Pass ( blue book with record sheet). Can't find it right now. Some Videos from Hot Licks with joe Pass. Also Jazz Guitar Van Manakas (cassette and Book) All this is a good mix. There is alot on the Tube, but everyone is not good teacher's.
thanks, I was looking for this info. Very useful!
you're quite welcome
Hi , Ricky,what kind of strings do you use?
Hi, I use D'Addario Pro Arte normal tension silverplated wound strings. I avoid high-tension strings. Also, avoid the cheaper D'Addario Classic Nylon strings, they're not as resonant. I know that there are more expensive strings out there, but I'm not a concert classical player, so not necessary. The Pro Artes have a great sound and I do all my studio recordings with them.🎼
This is terrific. Well done!
thank you! glad you enjoyed it...
cool vid man
thanks!
Thanks this was helpful
you're welcome!
thanks for helping with the chords 😊
you're quite welcome!
What synth was originally used for the intro?
Not totally sure, but from what I've read (and can tell from listening), it was most likely a Yamaha SY-85 or SY-99. It could also have been a Roland D-50. Thanks for your question.
@@rickymolina7390 SY-85 or SY-99 came out in 91/92
Thank you so must from thai
You're so welcome!
Joe Pass always plays with a ES 175 Gibson
Very interesting!
Thanks!
By the way: Dee-a-kweesto. D'Aquisto.
Nice try, but many inaccuracies. Joe Pass did have a L-5 sitting in the corner of his den, but he obviously built his career around an es-175. There is no such thing as Sandowsky. It's Roger Sadowsky, builder for many respected players. It's great that you're a fan, but you have to be more careful with your comments.
Thanks for clarifying. I guess I was driving more at the playability and sound of flats vs rounds issue than anything else in that video. No wonder that the best fingerstyle players used rounds while the soloists use flats. That was the key point I was trying to make.
For that matter, you could begin with EVERYTHING on the 3rd fret. That is to say, low E, A, and D. Which ends you up with G-C-F- G open - B open. Then, to C maj. as usual. If I was in the key of E, that 3rd fret "G/C" thing you do, would go up to the 7th fret. A B/E chord, if you will.

After watching this I have decided to play with NO strings on my guitar. . To many choices and such
Great idea. Whatever works for you!
WOW
Thanks!
A real "no nonsense" view on strings for jazz guitar, thanks a lot!
You're very welcome!
Hi Ricky. try an AmM13 after the G#7 played (low E to high) X04554 instead of the straight G#7. Also on the 'holding chord' D9 put a G# note on the top of it making it a D9#11.
OK, cool, gotta try that!
Thanks Ricky, lovely piece.
You're welcome!
A real holiday gift, thank you.
You're welcome!
Really enjoyed the tutorial. Nice guitar work.
Thanks so much!
I appreciate your comments and remarks on this lesson.. not excessive at all.. and your guitar is set well and sounds amazing.. I'm beginning to suffer from dementia and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help with this old classic..
I haven't heard your first chord and I already know that I will subscribe and really enjoy this lesson.. I played the piece back in the day and then forgot the structure.. Just about everything you mentioned is important to me in restoring the regal charm of a well crafted piece.. There is no way to cheat your way through a song like this.. the song will suffer for any side steps that attempt to pass as an acceptable alternative to the arrangement.. I look forward to getting reacquainted with this old masterpiece through your experienced tutelage.. My wife is hoping to cover the vocals while I play guitar.. and we send Seasons Greetings from our home in Virginia to you and your home..
Thank you so much for your comments. It's for viewers like you that gives me inspiration to produce tutorials like this. You're so right, it's a beautiful classic song, and that much better with someone special to do a duet with.
Really appreciate too!! Great thanks👌👍
You're welcome!
really interesting ..
glad you liked it...
Thank you this ones been on my bucket list for awhile. Top notch lesson its a good song csme out at a real low part of my life. It felt like i was never making any ground getting pushed 2 steps back all the time. Thank you ❤❤❤
You're so welcome. Comments like yours inspire me to make videos like that one.
Great video. Learned a lot. Great way to get inspired. Thanks.
when describing the picking sequence T T 1 3 2 1 yes that is finger number but which strings ?
TT are lower bass strings, 321 are 1st string, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Don't know the chord you're referring to exactly so I have to generalize to answer your question. Hope that helps.
11:37 - I read somewhere that Pat Metheny uses 0.10 D'Addario roundwounds for his Roland G303 Synth Guitar. I'm blown away but not surprised that Pat Martino used 0.15, so heavy....Sco started w/ 0.10s up until the 1970s and worked his way up to 0.13s by the early 2000s, but by circa 2008 had gone down to 0.11s as you mention here.
I know, can't get into those heavy strings either. Forget fingerpicking on 'em, or bending strings. Even hammer-ons and pull-offs are tricky on that cable wire. While the sustained sound can be amazing, there are practical disadvantages in terms of playing heavy strings. Meanwhile BB King and Billy Gibbons are at the other extreme!
