On the Banks of the Owchita - John Fahey

Fahey ascoltò probabilmente questa melodia da Ravi Shankar
• Improvisations on the ...
e ne elaborò una versione fingerpicking

[@johnpetersen9439]

Excellent. Fahey based this in the main theme from the Indian movie Pather Panchali (sp) by Sajiyat Ray.

This song is just so incredible, so sad and haunting

homage to a fave of mine -- long build up --beautiful and poignant and then beautiful again

[@MrHighnstein]

Beautifully played mate.

Great post! This is my favorite Fahey tune and you did a great job on this cover

[@EsTiArDoubleETi]

do you know if the pather panchali theme song inspired fahey into creating this piece.... it is beautiful

[@playfahey9416]

thank you. I don't know, but I think Fahey saw the movie in the states and was impressed with the music and then composed this song. Unfortunately without mentioning Ravi Shankar ...

[@leggomyego6]

holy shit, man.

[@nickpaley]

Great rendition!! What tuning are you in?

[@ramalkandy]

Open C - CGCGCE

[@nickpaley]

Sounds great! I have been trying to teach myself this song for months but I figured out by ear that the original was in drop B. Did you transpose it? Or am I wrong about the drop B idea? Seemed odd given Fahey is so often in drop C

[@ramalkandy]

I think that Fahey used C tuning halftone down, but for me it is too low so I used an open C ciao

[@25pappy]

Spotify brought me here. Hope you got paid

[@ramalkandy]

no, it's all free, thanks

[@DizzyRatt]

Are there tabs for this? Id love to learn it!

[@playfahey9416]

sorry, don't have a tab, but the tune is open C: CGCGCE
