John Fahey’s steel-string acoustic guitar playing laid the foundation of an entire school of folk-based instrumental guitarists, from Leo Kottke to Peter Lang and Will Ackerman. Yet, there’s no mistaking the mesmerizing feeling and sound of the original. While his repertoire was rooted in blues and folk forms, Fahey tapped influences and especially tonal palettes from around the world. Here are the best of the solo guitar pieces he recorded for Rounder’s subsidiary label Varrick.
