*** A Note from Mike Wallbridge (Feedback) ***
Hi,
I came across your version of Never Going Back Again in C Wahine tuning
(CGDGBE) and thought you'd be interested in some info. According to an
interview with Lindsey, he double-tracked the song on Rumours playing
it in Dropped-D tuning, which as you say is not quite so easy. In the
same interview he supplied the tab for the song and I transposed it
exactly into C Wahine tuning to see how it came out. A couple of days
later I found the enclosed site with exactly the same tuning and the
same notes that I had worked out. It is a fuller version that you have
at present and, I think, identical to what Lindsey played if in a
different tuning. Hope you enjoy it if you are still at this address.
If you ever manage to work out the tab for the very much slower and
different live version of the song I would appreciate you letting me know.

Cheers
Mike Wallbridge

NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN by Fleetwood Mac

Try my version of this song. It's sounds close to the real thing (and it's
easy for me, a mediocre guitar player, to play).  I included a bass guitar
part and two versions of the chorus accompanyment.  The first version
is played in the open position (while capoed) and the alternate version is
played using barre chords.


CAPO 6th fret
(s = slide)
(. = beat)
