Very nice! Watch for the Fahey doc coming out this fall!

That's a nice sound! And quite an expensive guitar me thinks...
For those who are confused about the tuning, there are actually two versions Fahey recorded; this one, done in Open D on "Fahey, Kottke, Lang" (1974) and one in Open C on "Death Chants, Breakdowns and Military Waltzes" (1963 &1967). The "Death Chants"-version seems to be the more definitive one.
Try Ultimate-Guitar for tabs...!

Rocking version....love it..

i adore the simplicity and emotion that i can put out of the wood when i play open d, and this is a great example. Well done, brother.

Exceptionally Groovy!



Superb effort Stonewart. John Fahey would be proud. Love the sound you've produced. What make is the guitar?

@MP60 Thanks for the comment. The guitar is a Taylor, model 815c I believe.

Just Google John Fahey tabs and click on the first link. YouTube doesn't allow URLs in comments, as far as I can tell.

I just saw Jack Rose live and you two remind my of Fahey's rhythm. Also the 'metalic' (I'm ot a musician so I dont really know how to describe it) sound you have is the closest I've heard to the Fahey recordings I know.
Thanks for the great performance!

Thank you for the comment. As for the metallic sound, part of it is reverb from the amp, and I think I was also playing it through a chorus pedal, which puts a little waver in the sound.
