by John Fahey
In this lesson we’re going to be learning a great fingerstyle piece by American folk guitarist John Fahey. Check out the original recording (1967 version, at least I think it is):
Here’s my video. You’ll need to tune to open C which is C G C G C E from low to high.
Music and tab
I’ve written it out below. There are four parts: Intro, A, B and C and I’ve also included the little variation he sometimes throws into the B section. Listen to the recording to piece it all together. A printable PDF of the tab is available on my Patreon page.
