John Fahey has created a unique body of guitar compositions and arrangements as well as a distinct approach to fingerstyle guitar. He broke fresh ground in recording guitar music that drew from such diverse sources as Country blues, Old-Time music, Indian ragas, European classical music and Gregorian chants. He founded a loosely defined "school" of "American Primitive guitarists" that included Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho, and numerous others. Many fledgling guitarists have been inspired to try their hands at fingerpicking by the dozen or more Fahey albums. In these DVD lessons, John explains and teaches fifteen of his best known instrumentals. Regular, Open G (D G D G B D) and Open D (D A D F# A D) tunings are featured. Volume Two: Poor Boy Long Ways From Home, My Prayer, Marilyn, The Red Pony, Sunflower River Blues, Joy To The World, Steamboat Gwine Round De Bend and Steel Guitar Rag. 64 minutes / Level 2-3 / 56 page tab/music booklet
