what happened to the words?
-
The real thing, I just don't understand how some people can dislike pure talent like this.
Underrated and unknown :(
-
@kingsindiandefence THANK YOU for wording what I was thinking!!!
-
swirls hammer a divinity song, is fahey
-
Thanks for posting this -- I like how he segued into Brendas Blues (his take on Blind Blake)and then morphed into something other.
-
Nobody plays guitar like Fayeh!

@shsnj The thing you're missing is that many of the people who consider Fahey "better" than TE are guitarists themselves, some highly skilled. TE might have had a superior technique, but that's only one part of what makes someone a great musician.Fahey is the one who changed the way people thought of acoustic guitar and who influenced generations of musicians, and he's the one who could sit down with a guitar, improvise for half an hour, and mesmerize an audience.

I first heard of John Fahey on a compilation record, yes, one of the those old, black, flat discs, oh so long ago. It was him and Leo Kottke and Peter Lang. They were so hot. God bless you John Fahey, wherever you are.

John had soul-something I feel is missing from some of the most "accomplished" players today-it's missing in the world, in general

Why do folks make nitty picky negative comments about these videos? Whatever, John Fahey was not some studio manufactured sound but a great guitarist. can any of those criticising play this good? Go listen to something you enjoy and leave the rest of us to enjoy this.
