Fred,
You remind me of early John Fahey. He did the same thing. The power and soul of the notes go thru your spine and up your neck. I say that's getting into it Bro.

That was cool!
The facial expressions show up now that you shaved the beard...
I know you talked about it a while back but can't remember, is that a Lazy River? |

Hey Fred, there's that "Legend of Blind Joe Death" album, and others...
I'd had no exposure at all to John Fahey til about a year back ( the shame!  ) and hell! He's a fingerpicking monster!
If you go on my youtube page there's a couple of other tunes played on that same "cheap" kona of his.
Both these are real similar, in low-bass-G, tuned down to C#...
I'm learning "How Green Was My Valley" at the moment, it's a fun tune to learn!
But I can't help accidentally "medleying" in that "Steamboat" tune!
There WAS a youtube vid of him doing a Poor Boy / Steel Guitar Rag medley, in openD which was sweet, but it got blocked...  Seeing that got me determined to learn the solid alternating bassline thing... ( I'm kinda getting there! )
ps, yeah, my youtube page is lame, no vids of my own yet, I need to get me a webcam & record some... but I'm a bit nervous about my playing not being too good! |

There must other video available as Fahey wrote so many tunes and many are in tunings he made up. I was lucky because in the 1960's he was out here on the West Coast and he was accessible in tiny venues. I saw him many times. Of course at that time I did not realize I was experiencing history in the making. I did not understand he was pretty much inventing a sound and style that was new in many ways. There is a web page that has his CD's which are many.
