Landslide Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Landslide chord chart by Fleetwood Mac. This is one of the most requested songs from my students and one of the first songs I use to demonstrate Travis Picking which works very well with this song. If you want to learn more about Travis Picking and develop your finger picking more, check out my Guitar Course.
Travis picking is a very specific picking pattern that uses the thumb and first and second fingers. Below you will see patterns for 5-string chord (C, Am, etc) and 6-string chords (G, Em, etc.) The rhythm for this pattern is played as 1 2 + 3 + 4 +
You can see this demonstrated in the diagram below. Now the original does not use Travis Picking, BUT, I like to play it that way. And I think it works just fine. If you want to learn it more like the original, check out my video lesson below.

Verse:
C G/B Am G/B C G/B Am G/B
I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around
C G/B Am G/B
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
C G/B Am G/B
Till the landslide brought me down
C G/B Am G/B C G/B Am G/B
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?
