Lindsey Buckingham (born October 3, 1949 in Palo Alto, California) is a guitarist and singer from the musical group Fleetwood Mac. His partner for a while was Stevie Nicks. Buckingham also has done some independent recording since he first became a member of Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham never took guitar lessons and does not read music. Lindsey began playing guitar at a very young age. Buckingham is known for his unique finger picking style, sometimes called "travis picking" a common technique used in folk music. With extra time on his hands when he was stricken with a case of mono, he mastered his guitar techniques even further.
It took a year for Buckingham and Nicks to record seven demos in 1972. After recording the demos made on a 4 track analog recording system, Buckingham and Nicks drove to Los Angeles to get a record deal. Despite beliefs, it is at this time Nicks wrote the song Sorcerer to illustrate her fears of being alone in a big city. In 1973, Polydor records signed Nicks and Buckingham. The album, Buckingham Nicks was released in September of 1973; soon after its release, Polydor records dropped Nicks and Buckingham. Buckingham Nicks was never officially released on CD format due to the fact that it has no record company. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have "split" ownership of the album. The only song that has been released on digital format is "Long Distance Winner" found on Stevie Nick's CD released in 1998.
Lindsey Buckingham has released 3 solo albums:
'Law and Order'(1981),'Go Insane'(1984), and 'Out of the Cradle' (1992).
