Points to take note of when learning to play Landslide

1 - The use of a guitar capo allows you to transpose the song to a comfortable key easily if you are singing the song. In Fleetwood Mac's version, they use a couple of capo positions to play. However, they usually play it with the capo on the 3rd

2 - Travis picking. This technique involves an alternating bass note played by a thumb and a note played by the other 3 fingers. To play this technique with fluidity, you should adopt a classical posture for hand placement and curl your fingers a little.

3 - Keeping your fingernails short is important when you perform fingerpicking techniques.

4 - Overall, this is a relatively easy song to play on the acoustic guitar. The use of open chords as well as repeated arpeggios makes the harmony great sounding.
