John McVie always seems to play just the right part, nothing more.
Which is awesome.
In listening to this song, I'm struck with the limited amount of sustain
that he allows most notes to carry. It really works for this tune.
The quarter and eighth notes are delivered with just the right amount of punch and then they're gone, leaving
sonic space for whatever comes next. In my opinion, the magic is all in
his hands. Great muting technique. Good gear doesn't hurt either :)
