My favourite is Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac...wonder anyone here knows him too? u could check out Fleetwood Mac's hit album TANGO IN THE NIGHT to hear this great guitarist....anyone a Fleetwood Mac fan here? 8O

 

[Damo]

Yeah I love fleetwood mac. Don't hold lindsay Buckingham in quite the high level though. Rumours is one of the all time top 5 albums. I think the real talent was the blending of the presonalities of the but Christine McVie relly bought something special to the group.

 

[endlessrain77]

Hey Damo..great to find a FM fan here...keep in touch yeah...can't really find much FM fans around though...i am quite amazed at his playing which just "butterflies" around their tunes with such melody and very tuneful...i love TANGO IN THE NIGHT the best....RUMOURS is alright..and considered by many as one of their best...

The 3 from IRON MAIDEN.AMAZING STUFF.Speed.Melodic.Great timing.they coordinate all 3 guitars so bloody well.

Izzy.My fave Rhythm player.Does what he is best at.The man behind Gnr's sounds.

John Fruscuiante.He is amazing.I love it when he play acoustic.so much emotions.In rhcp,his riffs are simple yet beatiful.Ya gotta love it.
