dbpprop:abstract
  • John Fahey (February 28, 1939 – February 22, 2001) was an American fingerstyle guitarist and composer who pioneered the steel-string guitar as a solo instrument. His style has been greatly influential and has been described as American Primitivism, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of his art. Fahey himself borrowed from the folk and blues traditions in American music but also incorporated classical, Brazilian, Indian and abstract music into his eclectic œuvre. In characteristically witty fashion, he once said of his style: "How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know. " In 2003, he was ranked 35th in Rolling Stone's "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
  • John Aloysius Fahey war ein an US-amerikanischer Fingerstyle-Gitarrist und -Komponist, Musikwissenschaftler und Plattenlabel-Gründer.
  • John Fahey était un guitariste et compositeur américain (il a enregistré au début de sa carrière sous le nom de Blind Thomas).
  • Ha innalzato la chitarra folk con le corde in acciaio a strumento solista, scrivendone pagine musicali memorabili. Il suo stile è stato influente su tanta musica a lui contemporanea e viene definito come American Primitive, un termine preso in prestito dalla pittura e che si riferisce principalmente al suo approccio autodidattico alla musica. Fahey ha fatto proprie le tradizionali musiche americane ma incorporando nel proprio vocabolario musicale anche elementi di musica classica, brasiliana, indiana. Muore il 22 febbraio 2001, solo alcuni giorni prima di quello che sarebbe stato il suo 62° compleanno al Salem Hospital, dopo avere subito un'operazione di sestuplo by-pass. Nel 2003 la rivista Rolling Stone l'ha inserito 35° nella sua classifica dei "Migliori cento chitarristi di sempre".
  • John Fahey – amerykański kompozytor i gitarzysta, grający stylem fingerstyle. Jeden z pierwszych, którzy używali gitary akustycznej jako instrumentu solowego. Jego bardzo wpływowy styl grania określano zapożyczonym z malarstwa terminem amerykański prymitywizm, co odnosiło sie przede wszystkim do nie akademickiej natury jego sztuki, do faktu, że Fahey był samoukiem. John Fahey pełnymi garściami czerpał nie tylko z tradycji amerykańskiego folku i bluesa, w jego eklektycznym dorobku muzycznym znajdziemy odniesienia do muzyki klasycznej, brazylijskiej czy indyjskiej. W 2003 pismo Rolling Stone umieściło go na 35. miejscu w rankingu „100 Największych Gitarzystów Wszech Czasów”.
