John McVie is a solid player. I really like Tusk.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Oh Well has a killer bassline.

You can't go wrong with Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, or the transitional albums. But, unless you're trying to bang a cougar, there's really no reason to listen to any of the Buckingham/Nicks stuff.

I disagree! The Buckingham produced era might be over exposed, but it's almost perfectly crafted pop music and the basslines McVie played are a great lesson of playing for the song.

My band plays "Say You Love Me", which has a very cool bass part and I'm about to learn "Blue Letter" for the next practice.

 

[mrnasty]

My band also plays "Say You Love Me" the bass line is indeed very cool. "Dreams" is also fun to play.

Buckingham is one heck of a finger-pickin' guitarist!

Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that didn't write songs; they composed them. Like them, the Beatles, the Guess Who, Tragically Hip... they created tunes that were totally different from each other, yet it always sounded like "them".

"Oh Well" -- Great bassline, great lyrics, great guitar riff. Such a good song that it was one of the few Peter Green-era Mac songs that was covered by the Buckingham-era band.

The bridge section to "The Chain" is the epitome of a perfect bass line. Simple, yet so fitting.

John McVie is most definitely one of my influences.

 

[DWBass]

Here's my old band's take on "Say You Love Me". It's definitely my favorite Fleetwood Mac song.

 

[Basshappi]

They were a great band. I'm still blown away by "Rumors". Almost every song was a hit or recieved steady airplay.

 

[ciledehcysp]

I love Albatross

 

[mcm]

mcvie is one of the baddest around. killer tone too.

 

[Thundar]

"The Chain" and "Gold Dust Woman" are 2 of my favorites to play

+1

Played those songs "way back when" with a female vocalist who did a pretty good job on the Stevie songs.

 

[EagleMoon]

+1 on "Oh Well" Great song.

I had the Rumours album when it came out. Perfect recording, especially for the time. Great songs too.

 

[Drucifer]
