Hi everyone,
I noticed there aren't many good covers out there for John Fahey's rendition of 'Buck Dancer's Choice' off the Fonotone Record. Here is my attempt at a condensed version for anyone trying to learn or just listen in.

  • This tune actually goes way further back than anyone truly knows and is tangentially related to buckdancing. A traditional Appalachian folk dance

    So good. You nailed all the parts that I neglected to learn and also captured that relaxed Fahey-style swing with your picking. Killed it

    Check out the original by Sam McGee. Always enjoyed Tom Paley’s version, but a fingerpicking standard
  • Very nice, really took me away. John would have been proud.
  • Very nice playing sir . Nice sounding guitar also . Looks like a Martin X series .
