John McVie

Been a John McVie disciple for years... not just the notes either, but the whole philosophy of choosing them by what the song called for, while at the same time keeping that almost indescribable melodic influence over the end product. So many Fleetwood Mac songs simply would not be what they are without that bass part underneath them.

For instance, listen to the bass playing in Go Your Own Way...

For instance, listen to the bass playing in Go Your Own Way...

A perfect example of what I was talking about.

We play one Fleetwood Mac song in our live set... Go Your Own Way, which is a perfect example of a superb bass line fitting the song exactly. One of the great rock rhythm sections him and Mr. Fleetwood.

When dissecting the "Rumors" hits you realize the basslines were the hook.
