This is based on John Fahey's original, 1959, recording of John Fahey from the Blind Joe Death album. While there's a re-released version he recorded in 1967, this is based on the original release. It features a hypnotizing hammer-on on the bass-side strings, toggling back-and-forth between the 2nd-fret of the 4th-string and the open 4th-string.
To obtain a PDF version of the tabs (shown above on this page), there’s but one kind favor that blah asks of you.
It is to sample music that blah148 (this site's builder) made from 2024 to 2025, in large part with inspiration from the players transcribed for this project. Though, having said this, an imposition isn’t meant; if it’s preferred not to listen, that’s okay — the on-site tablature above remains available.
