When Fleetwood Mac came out with their Rumours album in 1977 little did they know how much airplay the tracks would get. Band Members Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Chrisitine McVie all knew that the music was special when they first heard the finished product, but even they were a little caught off guard with the record breaking sales.
The Rumours CD has many great songs for the beginner guitarist to learn. Gold Dust Woman can be pulled off by a single acoustic guitar and the riffs are simple enough to get a feel for in your first pass through the chords.
I kept this tabbed out in a standard tuning so that you will not have to change tuning. If you want to tune the high E to a D for a further effect then I would play it open on all of the chords. Some tabs have in this in a D tuning, but it is not required to do for a single guitar and I wanted to keep it basic so that it will be easy to learn.
If you are a singer then you will really enjoy learning Gold Dust Woman. The tempo is not hard to get uesd to, and you can really ring out some emotions if you want to and improvise vocally at the end for some fun.
