John Fahey Sunflower River Blues

[1ArtfulBodger]

Not a 110 buddy it was a 310 which has been sent on its way in favour of a much better sounding Vintage V400 mahogany that cost £130. Go figure!

[heymynameistyler]

is that a trusty 110?

[GEZx928]

Fantastic. When I master the technique of that style of guitar playing, I'm going to learn this first.

[dagda54]

Very well-played! (and this from a "Fahey-head" from the late sixties!)

[1ArtfulBodger]

Its in Open D.

[southsidesick]

whats the tuning man?

[Necrohammer34]

This is easily one of the best covers of this one, that i've seen on youtube.

Good job!

[southsidesick]

whats the tuning on this tune

[IBG67]

@southsidesick open d. great tuning, and easy to improvise on. try it, if you play.

[franknwalters]

this is not john fahey playing the guitar ...

CHANGE THE TITLE ... YOU'RE USING HIS NAME TO GET VIEWS FROM PEOPLE LOOKING FOR ... JOHN FAHEY .

this is not good ...

l've just spend some minutes of my life watching something which if it had the correct name l would never see it ...

Although you play good ...

[MP60]

Excellent job. As good as Fahey. Agree with tubingtomtom about the Taylor - superb sound. I'd love to hear this on a Martin D-45.

[razorman916]

Is he really using just his fingers? That's such a clear tone!

[wincekthomas]

Nice job.  Beautiful sound too. This is my favorite "Freight Train" derived song that Fahey did. I like it even better than "Poor Boys", when done right.

[jwalsh67]

Highly enjoyable! Has a hint of 'Poor Boys..' but just a hint. You have talent, my friend!

[pmbard]

Well done.

[LowStackTom]

your version reminds me of "page and plant" a lot

[boseboyz]

page wishes !!!

[gaminemome]

this is really lovely - a beautiful beautiful rendition. thank you so very much for sharing : )

[Kafkaspirina]

te quedó muy bueno, maestro.

si te dejás la barba capaz que pasás por el Fahey.

Very good! master.

if you left your beard grow, we'll say that Fahey isn't dead.

[tommyrock69]

That natural reverb you have going is very tasty. Excellent job. John would be proud.

[tubingtomtom]

Your going to love your new Taylor over all others before long. If not already. Love the sound.

[bluesguy1977]

what kind of guitar?

[cheesebowls]

i need a tutorial or mabye some tabs or something:o

[1wiesehoefer1]

hi nice playing i tried this tune with 12 string guitar, best regards friedel

[bolson567]

im learnign this song now. its so easy but it sounds great. amazing job,

[Krittikas]

Beautiful job, beautiful tune! Sounds a lot like Fahey! ;P

[mainer98]

you have the right "Fahey bounce"...great job!

[malakisi]

I always make my way back to this video on youtube. Thanks!

[1ArtfulBodger]

Thanx malakisi I'm grateful for your support.

[SteVenendry]

@malakisi Me too, really like this one it's a great version

[johnwayne19892007]

what tuning is this in?

[NuG919]

open d

[ryderseeler]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm trying to learn this song and the tabs I found are almost exactly the same as the way you play it! I've seen other videos on youtube that I don't understand how they could be playing this song. But I'll get it thanks to this video.

[izlemm67]

Hi, I love the way you play this, great taste! BTW that's an open tuning I bet. Which one?

[russelsheartinacage]

it's an open i think, DADF#AD

[francobegbie22]

awesome, it's the arrangement from fahey, kottke, lang. do you do requests? if so, would you be able to tackle the Old Southern Medley?

[frytechnician]

Dude, you have seriously good style. Great version.

[BillyBoy777]

1AB, I really love how you took the basic song and then made it your own...wonderful and insightful additions...well done!

[methodinsane]

That a Taylor yea? Good version. Never a massive Fahey fan though.

[1ArtfulBodger]

Thanks for your support. Taylors are very smart n well made. Think I may keep it!!!!!

[methodinsane]

Sounds great. I've a Big Baby and I love the thing. I don't ever want to give it up. It just works so well for alot of stuff and sounds amazing recorded. Still I'm gonna get a 12-string and maybe another 6er.
