albatross
“Albatross” by Fleetwood Mac (1968), composed by Peter Green, is a masterpiece of atmospheric, slow-tempo, instrumental blues-rock. The song is less about technical speed and entirely about touch, vibrato, and a deep triplet 8th swing feel within a slow 4/4 time signature. It heavily features clean tone, reverb, and a “long-short” rhythmic feel that gives it a rolling, oceanic quality.
