One of our Original 50 lessons when we launched TG back in 2009 was Never Going Back Again from Fleetwood Mac's eponymous album. I had taken the approach that many teachers did, which was show it in a Dropped C Tuning with a capo at the 6th fret. This made the difficult stretches a little more manageable for students. One of my more advanced students recently wanted to tackle it the way Lindsay really plays it, in Dropped D capoed at the 4th fret, so we did. This also opened the door to play the short solo he added to it after the original release. A couple new segments have been added to the lesson showing that approach.


These versions always include slightly different picking and embellishments, are much slower, and he has taken to lowering the capoed fret, and consequently the key, usually to the 3rd fret.
