It's wonderful to hear John explaining how he approached his finger picking technique. He obviously gave more thought than some others did. And you can hear it in his playing. A studious player indeed.
John.... 1970. I was 17. That year, "On Doing an Evil Deed" Blues. My first or second attempt at finger style. Second effort: "Hesitation Blues" by Hot Tuna. I still play both. Thanks for the sound of John's voice. Pssst!... we're all one of a kind. Wonderful post, Thanks!
His childhood was a captive hell. At the age of 12, he composed 'On The Sunny Side Of The Ocean' His young life as a victim of sexual child abuse by his father describes the context of this composition.
Thanks for this! I’m traveling back in time.
This is fascinating, Ricky. It is a treasure of a snippet. Thank you for sharing this, as it is a priceless lesson from the man.

Great video for anyone trying to play a Fahey song.
Perfect. Cheers.

He learned quite a bit from Fred Gerlach.
John said that he had the strongest thumb in the business. Actually, I think he wanted it to strangle pedophiles. Robert Wheeler
