Notes

Studio recording for 'Go Your Own Way' solo, 1976-77. Guitar is confirmed as a Stratocaster for the Rumours album sessions. Amp is widely cited as a Mesa/Boogie Mark I, which Buckingham used for the album. No evidence of pedal use on the original studio solo; effects are likely from the amp and studio processing.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, including fast picking, accurate bends, and expressive vibrato, but is accessible to players with solid rock lead skills.
