Landslide


"Landslide" is a song by Fleetwood Mac, written by Stevie Nicks and first released on their 1975 self-titled album. The track is a fingerpicked acoustic piece, but its clean, delicate chord work translates well to electric guitar, making it a rewarding study in dynamics and tone control. Its enduring presence across multiple Fleetwood Mac compilations reflects its status as one of the band's most recognized and performed songs.

  • "Landslide" was written by Stevie Nicks, showcasing her songwriting debut on a major Fleetwood Mac release.
  • The song's fingerpicking pattern is a strong exercise for developing right-hand precision on electric or acoustic guitar.
  • "Landslide" has appeared on at least three major Fleetwood Mac compilation albums, spanning from 1992 to 2018.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Peter Green's 1959 Les Paul Standard with its reversed PAF neck pickup created the iconic out-of-phase tone that defines Fleetwood Mac's early blues sound, heard on haunting tracks like 'Albatross.' This unique pickup configuration became one of rock's most legendary tonal accidents, directly shaping the band's mystical, creamy sustain.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Lindsey Buckingham used the Gibson Les Paul Custom alongside his Rick Turner for thicker, more aggressive rhythm parts and overdriven tones on Fleetwood Mac's 1977 masterpiece. The Les Paul's body warmth complemented his fingerstyle technique while providing the weight needed for songs like 'Go Your Own Way.'

Lindsey Buckingham's pair of Fender Twin Reverbs provided the clean headroom and articulation essential for his fingerstyle playing, where every right-hand nuance cuts through clearly. The Twin Reverb's natural breakup and reverb gave Fleetwood Mac's intricate guitar arrangements their signature clarity and spaciousness.
