john fahey was the best.
these recordings of him talking and reading some of his writings are cool, his sense of humor and poetry is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMMcPqWXDik
i got 2 get a hold of his book.
his later abstracty noise stuff is like the mill pond rules

that's simply not true, as much as i like john fahey

That's not Josh Homme.

How Bluegrass Ruined My Life made me uncomfortable as fuck, it was like a mix between the scribblings of a petulant tween, an aryan nationalist and an acid trip with your favourite long-lost blues musician.

pat metheny, john scofield, mike stern, Joe pass, Julian lage, we Montgomery

marc ribot? robert fripp

do you want me to keep going? I know you're moronic because you ignored scofield and stern.

Is there anyone in Fahey's style that does it better than him? I know OP asked for best ever but I'm curious to narrow it down

>>74406418
i think he's probably the best considering he kind of originated it

Jim O'Rourke, Cul de Sac

Fuck you mean? He's great.
