John Fahey's guitar playing is like oatmeal. It's dense, full of goodness, and sticks with you all day.

[heinrichvon]

He can teach his technique, but he can't teach his soul.

'Now some people play this song real fast, you know, and show off fast they c'n do it... But I like to play it kind of wistfully you know like, kinda quietly, kinda like old train whistles."

First heard this around 1973 having bought the vinyl LP in Manchester University Students' Union and Gareth, my mate, taught me it having learnt it by ear! How easy it is for you all now to see the Maestro playing it on video! Good old John F! May he rest in peace.

Thanks

i don't know that i'd recommend this lesson for a beginner, but if you have some knowledge of finger style guitar under your belt, then this is one hell of a lesson. in addition to being a phenomenal guitar player, he was a great teacher too.

Fahey had the clarity and richness of tone to be able to play such a piece slowly. Guitarists who play country blues fast usually do so because they are trying to conceal their lack of technique.

[treetoptop]

Thanks a lot for posting these new videos, I am learning a ton from the master himself. So much for my idea that he could no longer play his old stuff later in his career. I stand corrected.

[sinner48]

boy could he play a guitar
