Thanks Kris for the rendition. You've provided light in a part of the piece that I've struggled with for some time. Now it finally sounds correct when flowing from my fingers! ❤
Kris, I love your covers, as always. Like you I love Fahey. I have the lessons from Stefan Grossman's website, and on there I have Spanish Fandango and Spanish Two Step as two separate lessons and songs.
Thank you Malcolm, really appreciate your kind comments. My favourite version is with the JF orchestra on After The Ball (entitled Hawaiian 2 Step)… not played at break neck speed like most of his 70s live performances - why did he do that? Nerves? Peer pressure? Drink? ???
@@KrisDollimoreMusic I saw a 70s interview clip of Fahey. He was asked what influence Leo Kottke had on his playing. He replied that his playing got faster, but now he was trying to slow down. I agree with the original post - you play this with a lovely relaxed swing. Cheers.
I don't think so since pull-offs are a thing in classical guitar as are barre chords. So one can assume some fella did that move at some point. "Spanish Fandango" was composed in the 1860s by Henry Worrall. It became a common piece for blues guitarists. Several artists have versions on RUclips, notably Elizabeth Cotton and Mississippi John Hurt. Fahey plays it like nobody else though.
Beautiful. Thank you.

Super play playing this great instrumental from the great hero John Fahey!!!
Excellent interpretation! A pleasure to listen to you.
It would be perfect if you included some tabs for beginners like me.
Hug from Argentina.
Fantastic! Thanks for posting that.
Wow. 'nuff said.

Would be to a see a tutorial video for this tune .
So good, thank you...
Excellent! Just the right speed and a great swing feel. As good as (if not better than) Fahey's version.

Did John Fahey invent that technique of strumming the strings downward when coming off the barre chord?
