Damn.... there are a lot of great guitarists out there as everyone knows. The common ones : Hendrix,Halen,Page,Clapton etc. but fahey is a league in his own. Can't be compared to any of them. Guitar music wouldn't be the same without him.

Thomas Edison was a tyrant and a corporatist.
Nikola Tesla wanted to electrify the entire world, entirely for free.
but thank you for this video. its really charming

this is, as always has been, magical.

Just think of the epic guitar players we wouldn't have without John's influence. Wish I could have seen him.

@nighttripper84 The basic tuning John Fahey used for this piece is GGDGBD. This is essentially open G tuning, but with the two base strings tuned in unison. This requires tuning your "A" string down a whole tone and the "E" string up two whole tones. Doing this puts quite a bit of tension on your "E" string. To remedy this, you can tune everything down a half tone. That is precisely what John Fahey does in this version. In reality then, the tuning used here is F#-F#-C#-F#-A#-C#.

Fahey was not the fastest, or the flashiest, or the most technically adept guitarist. But he WAS the deepest!

@etancixelsyd Yes. He was Leo's mentor!

John Fahey made wonderful music. If there's a heaven he belongs there!
