Right then, ah... first off, I really was not aware of him until you mentioned his name so I had to do a quick search on ixquick to find out more about him. While he does appear to have some impressive credentials to bear, so far what I have heard is... not problematic from a professional guitarist's point of view. My initial viewings on YouTube were not all that great, but I must admit that I have not heard all that he can do so there is that.

I think I do not have enough experience of him to make a valued judgement about his skills at this point in time.

Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album came out on a two-CD set some time ago, and I can play all of the first CD pretty much note-for-note, entirely by ear, with certain exceptions so that I hope will serve as proof of My abilities as far as guitar-playing is concerned. The exception is that the lead guitarist uses an axe that has a longer neck than the guitar I normally play on and so I do not have the range needed to play exactly one or two numbers on the album -but I can fake it quite well.

I would need some more time to listen to the object of your question before I could give an honest opinion as to his capabilities.

Cheers.

Lindsay credits his playing to John Stewart (not the fake Jon Stewart). Stewart was the first replacement singer of the Kingston Trio.

"What do you think of Lindsey Buckingham?"

I think he is one of the very best rock guitarists. Underrated. And Mick Fleetwood is an underrated drummer.

One of the most underrated conceptual artists of his time.
