Great rendition. I can also recommend the patreon lessons. Great in depth analyse and on point tabs. The absolute best place to learn in this genre. Cheers

[@andrewlardner]

Thanks for saying that TImo

Hey Mr Lardner, I'm learning guitar it's been along time and listening to you makes me feel like I can be real good at guitar

[@andrewlardner]

Miss you buddy. Come by the school anytime you need help

[@adalbertozappala4874]

I Like very much your playing, the originality and the poetic of John Fahey is there in your notes.

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you Adalberto!

[@pachacamacs]

Excellent! These Fahey tunes are deceptively hard to play... it's all about feeling.

[@FocusOutdoorAdventures]

Beautiful!

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you Colin

[@greekflatpicker]

Thank you. Great tone

[@andrewlardner]

Thanks Yiannis, hope you are well buddy.

I guess it's time to put Joe Kirby Blues on the list of tunes to learn! Always loved the tone of that maple Euphonon on your videos.

[@andrewlardner]

It's my favorite slow Fahey blues piece. And thank you, I found this guitar in Chicago a few years back. Bob Hartman, of the Larson brothers lineage, owned this exact guitar in the 60s and we were able to reunite him with the instrument last year.

Great 👍

Thank you Bernard

What kind of fingerpicks do you use? Beautiful covers by the way. Joe Kirby Blues is one of my favorite Fahey tunes.

[@andrewlardner]

Propik. Thank you sculpt.

Does this video dispel the myth of maple making the guitar bright sounding? (Hint: what are upright string basses made of?)

[@chrismason4224]

Any plans on publishing a vol. 2 for Blind Joe Death tabs?

[@andrewlardner]

Hi Chris. The second volume was finished a couple years ago but after publishing the first book Hal Leonard acquired the print licensing rights to Fahey’s library and essentially blocked me from releasing the second book. I released one of the tunes on my Patreon and would still like to find a way to circumvent them, I’ve been working with a new publisher but at the end of the day there’s just not enough time or energy to fight big corporations

@@andrewlardner Disappointing but not surprising; sorry to hear that. Well, I believe that's motivation enough to join your Patreon page. Cheers.
