I was just replying to SB in the “…listening?” thread about Stevie Nicks and I thought that’s who you were talking about and got my hopes up 
I have a mad crush on Stevie Nicks
Anyway @Neely my vote is for banjo. While I’m on the subject of Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham did some great things on guitar thanks to his banjo picking skills, and there’s banjo on “You Make Loving Fun” which is a really nice touch.

I always admired the picking skills in Never Going Back Again. I tried to learn it once. It is so hard to play!

Lindsey’s skills are insane. His production is genius too.
I must confess I’ve not yet attempted that song though. I saw this video titled something like “HARDEST FINGERPICKING SONG TO PLAY ON GUITAR?!?!!” or maybe “Fleetwood Mac’s hardest song?!” and it was Never Going Back Again… I should try it though. I do like a challenge</nos

Offline I listened to Never Going Back Again and whoever said it’s the “HARDEST FINGERPICKING SONG TO PLAY” was evidently indulging in typical YouTube hyperbole (like when they post a podcast with the headline “Jordan Peterson ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS journalist!!!”). The fingerpicking in that song is something a typical Irish folksong guitarist could polish off half asleep before their morning coffee.
Now today I find, you have changed your mind

It’s hard for me though because I can only do travis picking. And that’s because of Dear Prudence . I really need to get better at fingerpicking. It was just never my focus.

Offline Of course it was hyperbole, that’s the name of the YouTube game, but his explanation of why it was hard seemed legit – not least because Lindsey also sings over it when performing the song live. I’m decent at fingerpicking, so I shall have to give it a try and report my findings.
