As the lead guitarist and one of the lead creative forces in Fleetwood Mac's most popular line-up, Lindsey Buckingham's combination of solid songwriting, musical experimentation and unique fingerpicked guitar have led to him becoming one of the most critically and commercially successful musicians of all time. Though his time in the band was notoriously marred by personal struggles between its members (most famously, himself and Stevie Nicks), his solid vocal harmonies and stellar guitar work led to albums like Tusk being regarded as among the group's best, with Lindsey himself starting a relatively successful solo career off of this.
Lindsey's voice was actually a relatively high one, evident by the fact that his higher harmonies in Fleetwood Mac were, at times, somewhat indecipherable from those of Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks. His voice that of a tenor's, he possesses a very strong belting register (arguably the strongest of the three singers in the group), which has held up remarkably well over the years as his voice lowered. Though his lower register is used less frequently, it is by no means a weak one, evident by his occasional second octave singing sounding surprisingly strong. Though perhaps not as renowned for his voice as much as his overall musicianship, Lindsey's voice is still extremely solid, and has held up very well even into his 70s.
{A Few Examples of His Voice}
Quiet low singing initially, but more potent higher singing later on.
Great late career performance - his belting is still intact!
