@ryan9600 Totally agree

Even the tuning is a pleasure to watch.
-
I wonder if someone could explain something to me. At about 27 seconds he slides up the middle and ring fingers of his left hand. He does it at this point in the melody every time. There is a close up of him doing it at about 1 minute 45 seconds. What does this technique do? I can't hear it & I've listened to this song for quite a few years. Smart-aleck replies welcome.

@trilobite3339 -----I would just tell em "If that's cheating than I guess I'm a cheater along with a lotta other guys. Oh well."
-
when i go to other musician's houses, they frequently ask me "why do you always change the tuning on the guitar" or say "thats cheating"... anybody else experience this?
-
I love how he manages to be musical even while adjusting his tuning.
-
Great stuff.A real artist at work.Rest in peace John Fahey.
-
Tommy Emanuel should played with this Guy
-
What a Genius at work just to play a guitar or anything and just enjoy it like he does must be everones wish

@DenimZero So after reading your argument with some people about Fahey's performance not being solo because it doesn't look like he is hitting every note... I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't even see a delay in video to audio. Sounds and looks like a guy picking with good rhythm and good use of hammer-ons.

@DenimZero So, John Fahey was a cheater, was he? Thanks for exposing the conspiracy. Also glad you used the word "strumming" to describe Fahey's technique. You really are a genius. Your parents must be proud.
