Beautiful rendition of this Fahey tune, Andrew. I remember trying to learn this many years ago - worked out it was in open C and the rest seemed simple - 'seemed' being the operative word. These tunes with the deceptively simple repetitive alternating bass pattern can so easily end up sounding mechanical and lifeless when technique is the main focus. Finding and being guided by the spirit of the music is the key to playing well, at least I think so. Always a wonderful experience hearing your playing, Andrew. Please keep them coming.

Good job. 🙂

Superb! Using this video as inspiration to learn it myself. Well done Andrew!

Here because of Muireann Bradley. Love this song!

Very nice arrangement of a very nice arrangement! Lovely!,

beautiful.. john would be proud to hear this!!!

Lovely that is. Thank you👍

Stunning. One of my favorite songs ever. Fantastically played here too. Nice work.

What I love about Bert is the sheer inventiveness and otherworldliness of his output. To this day, nobody else sounds like him. Kudos by the way Andrew, the feel of it is spot on.

Just about to start 7th grade and I’m so excited to see another video

Runnin, running from home…

Sounds great, and this is a deceptively simple tune to drive the downbeat and capture the death chant and supernatural Christmas song, but not “too” supernatural. Have you tried D’Andrea brand plastic fingerpicks? (The Dunlop/Daddario f-picks are undersized junk) I think the plastic pick is a crucial piece of the sound, and sounds more like amplified bare-fingered plunking than dobro-y. They take a bit of experimenting and scalding water but it is a rare sound too.

Great playing! Love the Bozo.

Gorgeous version!

Great version. Thanks. Saw Fahey in Sydney Australia a long time ago at 'The Basement'. Went backstage after his first set where he was changing strings for the second set (!). I asked if I could change one of the strings on his guitar while he ate. He said go for it. Ah the memories.

Beautiful playing, beautiful videography. Outstanding! (I need to go find my John Fahey records!)

My favorite instrumental from blue album 👍

Beautiful, Andrew!

Yet again, you've just got the rhythm coursing through your veins. Sounds amazing. Even without being able to (at the moment) subscribe to the Patreon lessons, the view of you playing from the front is so incredibly helpful. Some of these tunes escape me because of some particular picking pattern or nuance that I can't quite intuit or pick up aurally. Love your videos. Keep it up.

Beeeautiful

Wonderful! What tuning is that please?

Beautiful! A deceptively simple piece, that’s mangled by many players. Rendered to perfection here.

It's easy to hear how Leo Kottke was inspired. So good!

I've been playing variations of this one for years but it's always wonderful to see you tackle the recorded versions with such authority and precision. Thank you for continuing to keep this music vital!

Bert was a genius.. Out of this world.. ❤️

Just like taking a walk through the park… with creepy cats, smoking caterpillars, insane people, hallucinantions, pills and mushrooms. Wild ride. Great work!

Sound perfect on that Euphonon...thanks

If anyone ever was unsure how Kottke came to be, this is a really good hint :-)

Una delle mie favorite e sicuramente molto sottovalutata

Leo Kottke è la colonna sonora della mia vita dal 1980. Grazie per riconoscere la sua immensità e comicità anche...

Bravissimo e chitarra eccezionale: il suono esce come poesia...

Nailed it, nice!

One of my favorite John Fahey piece. Many thanks. ✌️✌️✌️ 🙏🙏🙏 👏👏👏

I heard this tune yesterday for the first time and thought I'd love to play it. Then today your video pops up. I'd be interested to know why at times you fret the first fret on the 5th string with your second finger. As always, great playing.

A magnificent sound!

Love it, sounds so much like Fahey played it, and I mean that in the good way

Thanks for sharing one of my favorite JH's songs! Is this open C or open D tuning?

👍 Has a bit of Busted Bicycle vibe.

One of John's easier-to-play-tunes, SRB goes a long way towards learning syncopation for the beginning fingerpicker. 😍

Epic

Great interpretation,Andrew. May I ask what the tuning is?

beautifully played! x

That's a Bozo in the background.

Great right thumb! Thanks!

So perfect !,

That guitar is huge

Wow, very well played.

Superbe!

Excellent! 🤩 thank you so much for posting!!
