Birth: | 28th February, 1939 |
Death: | 22nd February, 2001 |
Nationality: | American |
Profession: | Guitarist |
John Aloysius Fahey was an American fingerstyle guitarist who played the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument. His style has been greatly influential and has been described as the foundation of American Primitive Guitar, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of the music and its minimalist style. He spent many of his later years in poverty and poor health, but enjoyed a minor career resurgence with a turn towards the more explicitly avant-garde, and created a series of abstract paintings during the last years of his life.
