The GOAT
>>129879993him, Roy Montgomery, Robert Fripp, Paco de Lucía and Toti Soler are the best guitarists oat
>>129879993I recently wept while listening to Days Have Gone By drunk
>>129883391Solo guitar music is the best to listen after a breakup. I had one last month and also wept while listening to a guitar flamenco album.
>>129883391>>129883424Pussies
>>129883436Jesus wept
>>129879993What about the goat?
>>129879993American Primitivism is basically one big LARP, pretending you're a settler on the plains strumming a simple hillbilly tune instead of living in the 60s-70s with modern conveniences.But somehow that lead to some of the most poignant music ever recorded. It literally feels like the soul of the American dream and manifest destiny whittled down into something your granpappy can play on an acoustic guitar. It's like... pending apocalypse, final breaths of life tier music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iO3Md4hrWUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uumaz9vyxcThe guitar work isn't flashy, but there's an economy of notes that is so succinct, so concentrated and pure - it's the sound of the last thing I ever want to hear before I die. I think guys like Leo Kottke and William Ackerman are "better" guitar players, and have songs that achieve similar results. But Fahey is the ultimate icon of the American Primitive scene because he just played what he felt, always.

>>129883925Even the name American Primitive(ism) is so fucking pretentious and unnecessary. Just a way to resell traditional folk and blues guitar styles to modern white hipsters and academics.
Slash mogs him
>>129879993He suffered to relieve our earthly burdens
>>129884506> Slash mogs himSure. Give that kike just an acoustic guitar and see what he comes up with. I bet it’s far better than anything Fahey ever did.
what he achieves playing by himself on acoustic is more impressive than any shredder ive ever heard, obviously neither could play what the other does, anyways fave albums>Volume 2 death chants, military waltz>legend of blind joe death>fare forward voyagersthe last is what got me into him but I've really grown to appreciate the more simple tracks, really great driving in the middle of nowhere music, also really enjoyed reading Cormac McCarthy while listening to his music. I learned to play Red Pony which was a blast very satisfying even if you can't quite get the speed
>>129883391Sligo River Blues made me cry once or twice
>>129883391hol up you mean the song right? not the album Vol 6? Its crazy how evocative primitivism can be
>>129884355My vinyl copy of pic rel. I think it's on streaming.
>>129883925>>129884457hey assholesFUCK OFF
>>129889734The whole album
Him and the whole genre of American primitivism is so gay. Old time and bluegrass capture the soul of Americana while being good and not piss baby garbage.
>>129892775Are you arguing that those styles of music should have been condemned to die even though there were still people who wanted to play them? I don't understand the argument that his music is illegitimate for being made too late
>>129879993bro lookin like a simpsons character lk
>>129893498His followers are gay and annoying. That’s the argument (don’t bother responding, I don’t care)
>>129892775primitivism being instrumental allows the melody to tell the story itself evoking primal natural emotions that vocals really cant quite achieve. Its the perfect distilled form of acoustic, I'd say you can enjoy all the genres just fine but because you're a fag I'm gonna say Fahey was way more in touch with the soul of america with his playing than the commodities and products that were made to be sold you're listening to
lee mavers is the goat of acoustic guitar suck my fat dick you unknowing nerds
The santa barbara oil slick is a great live album thanks for those who recommended it to me>>129893615>thread full of people enjoying his artistry and soul>you come in bitching like a fucking loser>somehow its everyone else thats gay and annoying and not the guy literally being gay and annoyingnot to mention I can guarantee you haven't even experienced his music
>>129893673>Fahey was way more in touch with the soul of americaso colonialism, genocide, racism, imperialism, bigotry? wow he must've been so proud
>>129893712i cant imagine living your life and ignoring the beautiful parts in favor of focusing on the elements that weren't the core of what living was about. The world and history is full of so much beauty and you choose to only see the darkness. Theres some growing you need
>>129893684I have, and I’ve unfortunately experienced you which further solidifies my opinions of you cretins>>129893712I’m going to D’arce you
Spent this morning listening to transfiguration of blind Joe death while wife and kids looked for the eggs I hid. Great music for the holiday. On the sunny side of the ocean is such a great song
>>129893615Sounds like you're incapable of discussing music on its own merits, so you deflect to something imaginary instead
