As a huge Fleetwood Mac fan I have loved all of their stuff Neil has done lessons on and I remember being blown away when I heard this and looking forward to tackling it.
Then I tried it and realised it was one of those tunes that are a physical impossibility. I couldn't hold down a barre properly, forget trying to reach and fret notes with my pinky as well.
So I put it away.
With a bit of time on my hands I thought I go back and see how far I'd come. What do you know? with a little practice I can do the barre and the pinky etc.
It's nice to feel you've reached a milestone in your progress sometimes.
Now what's next, oh yeah, the rest of the 50 long bucket-list...

Cheers Chris, the neck is a tad narrower on the Martin when I need to play with the thumb. It'll get an outing next time :)

Beautifully played, Dean. That solo arrangement is so amazing, and you really made it pop. Nice crisp notes and great tone on the bass notes. You really are becoming one hell of a player. B)

Thanks for sharing your work.

Wow. Really, really enjoyable to watch that. It is rewarding to return to something that previously was too difficult, and find that it is within reach.

Well done Dean, you have put in the hard work and now have become a better player for it.
You were very smooth in your chord changes and your notes were clean. This is a real achievement, you should be proud, well done! B) :)
