This time out, we complete our two-part celebration of fingerstyle guitar, drawing inspiration from Craft Records’ new collection “The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose,” featuring guitar and banjo from some great “American Primitive” guitarists and banjo players. We’ll listen to John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Doc Watson, Davey Graham and many more. It’s more great fingerstyle guitar playing … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
