[dylanfleming]

Hi Russel,

Sounds great. I have only just discovered John Fahey.Sounds like I have a lot to look foward to. What tuning is used for this?

[russelsheartinacage]

Hi, thanks for the comment. It's open Dm, so DADFAD. His much will never be forgotten

This is a great version Russ....nicely played

[Saoff]

great job on this cover, the nylon string treatment really did the job! It must have been easier on the finger too.

This is probably the closest cover i've seen on youtube! Excellent job man. You did great from learning from the 1969 video. I'm trying to learn it. but i'm sucking at learning from his video. All i want to do is be able to play this, haha.

Would ever consider making a tab of this? Or even just for some bits and parts of it?

Right on Rus! Excellent job mate! I like the color changing too - very atmospheric.

Cheers!

Hi Russel,

yes I enjoyed this very much. It is something I noticed as well that these pieces sound good on a nylon string guitar and I like your new improved composition :-) and strong finger-picking, so now I'm going to listen to it again!

[russelsheartinacage]

Thank you, i think im picking to close to the bridge, and picking slightly too hard, but I get so into this song that I can't help it! I want to hear you doing some Fahey Arthur!

[WatchinDeTellybox]

This sounds great, very nice. I want to learn this one at some stage. I think the nylon gives the song a different character. Well done

[russelsheartinacage]

I look forward to seeing your version. I religiously watched the clip of Fahey playing this in 1969, and just worked at it until I was happy with it.
