@@j.s.m.5351 I disagree with that. If you listen to pop music from the 70's in particular, a lot of it is super chord based and neat. What Lindsey does on Dreams is really interesting in how he's playing the chords and individual notes at the same time, and the way he almost makes the guitar sound like a viola.
abstract? it is minimal and spacious, so as to add that extra something to the song. pretty common in pop, rock, etc. it was pretty new at the time though.
"Rumors"...a very unique, one of a kind album. It was played to death and some kind of "burned out" on it, but an occasional listen of the whole thing start to finish and there's no denying its genius.
I think rumours hit a perfect storm: * Band name known already * Buckingham's creative genius * Steamy nicks's voice and body * The emotional train wreck of the band's inner life driving it all
It was an automatic volume swell pedal. It takes the attack out of the sound automatically. He used an envelope filter too. One of the most beautiful tones and guitar parts of all time in my opinion. Sounds so 70s but holds up still to this day.
All those cool licks/arpeggios during the verses, then strum one chord (don't @me, I hear the low note changing) on acoustic for the chorus. Who does that!
The entire band deserves so much credit for taking relatively simple songs and performing them in a way that excelled them to heights beyond which no other musicians could have achieved. It's the magic from having the right combination of musicians to create something so amazing. Similar scenarios in the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, etc.
Toto are this band for me. Simple AOR pop rock with these amazing prog flourishes. It takes the best musicians in the world at that time to do both so flawlessly.
@@ZackC wasn't it through a leslie amp? " Lindsey used a set of Leslie 147 speakers - the slow rotation creates a kind of chorus effect (NOT a chorus pedal.)

@@mikecumbo7531 that's not what I mean!! it's just the isolated tracks themselves are not original it's been extracted from the originals I do not mean that it's so good only a.i could have done the song not at all

THIS IS AUDIO GOLD... LONG LIVE THE 70'S BABBY!!! Lindsey's my boy....love his style... he's way underrated
He always crafted his guitar parts to serve the song, not his ego
It’s such an abstract guitar part for such a conventional pop song.
Most guitar parts sound abstract in isolation
@@j.s.m.5351 So you don't think this particular guitar part is more abstract than usual?

The way it is played is still unusual in any era. Definitely not common in pop/rock.

Dreams would have NOT been the hit it was without LIndsey F'in Buckingham.
Funny how much he put into a song that was written as a FU to him.
Lindsey Fuckingham😂

The greatest songs created by Lindsay Buckingham chasing after and/or trying to save Stevie. Might be up there with Pattie Boyd's influence.
@@stevecarter8810don’t forget christine mcvie!
Love his guitar playing so melodic.
Genius- never noticed that mild tremelo before.

They used a 'Leslie' machine to achieve the worble.
@@geonerdoh wow thanks for this!
He made a 2 chord song sound like the greatest I ever heard.
Played through a Lesley speaker and used tremolo and not sure if he just used the volume on his guitar or a volume pedal for the volume swells.

Full breakdown here inclusing open E tuned acoustic with extra detuned top E, and 1st fret capo.

don't forget to mention that his touch is so light every bass note ends in a finger fart
@@mocoworm hey man it seems the video has been deleted, is there some other way that i can watch and learn?
God played guitar through him on this day.
Lindsay played poetry
THANK YOU
Incredible
I think that's the sound of a broken heart, maybe realizing he really fucked it up this time.
I think you might be right
Dodged a bullet, you mean!
This is the sound of a man saying, _"I'm FREE!”_
All those cool licks/arpeggios during the verses, then strum one chord (don't @me, I hear the low note changing) on acoustic for the chorus. Who does that!
Sounds like univibe….love that
univibe is supposed to emulate a leslie speaker, which is what this is
don't forget to mention that his touch is so light every bass note ends in a finger fart
Yep
👍👍

Could you please do this for Gypsy?
there's a bloke on youtube who plays it with open E maj7 tuning with capo on 1st fret - it sounds great
Yeah he cracked the code

@jamesdoctor8079 ha, yeah guess so
Respect the fro.
Tone pedal ? Reverb?
All he used was a specialty volume pedal, IIRC. Reverb is a studio echo plate, probably the EMT 140.

God bless who did this unless it was done with a.i ❤
You do know that this song and the album it was on was recorded in 1976, released in 1977? Just some drugs, booze and one talented guitarist.

Looks like it came from rock band 3 which I believe had master tracks to build up for the game. So probably extracted from game files?
This all sounds great but the actual chords are not F to G but F to F over G bass.
