I just discovered him by his two albums with Loose Fur and I think he is great. Love his voice and his weird creativity.

[@taylorrice84]

Stream of guitar consciousness, pure, true, like a newborn.

[@spurtfather]

it's a man. there is an album just out with him and jim doing live guitar improves together called "Two Nice Catholic Boys". There is an album called "the little match girl" under his older name of by Loren Mazzacane Connors which is really good, I strongly recommend that one.

[@lordtarace123]

one word only : genius!!!

[@GioshoPosho]

Jim is great.
His experimentation is interesting,
and his more "classic" songwriting is some of my all time favourite. I'm trying to learn Not Sport, Martial Art, but i can't figure out his tuning. Can anyone help?

[@hardychurchill5164]

would love to know

[@GioshoPosho]

Thanks dude! Ended up learning it in E, but i'm going to relearn it. Sweet!

Wonder which tuning he use here?

[@lifeisnice]

tuning is open g dude dgdgbd

[@lifeisnice]

dudes the way i think he's doing it is in open g! dgdgbd!

[@spurtfather]

no album really, (tho o'rourke did produce an album for fahey called "Womblife" at least I think it was called that). It's more a general intent in the music, the bitter sweet quality. Fahey's more blues really while this is a bit prog, I suppose, but the soul's similar.

[@nopeteys2424]

Anyone know what tuning he’s in?

[@windyhollow7869]

dgdgbd

[@jaadtoly23]

hi! don't know her! give ma the name of an album plz.

[@girlinagale]

Isn't it like a good conversation, you can't expect to learn one, but to have one is being creative and free, intelligent. Learning it would be like reading from a script, but never like conversation?

[@jaadtoly23]

fahey?! really?! which album do you think about?!

[@stereonovas]

"Not Sport, Marital Art" got it ?.

[@pard0e]

Got it, at last, typo ;-)

[@jaadtoly23]

ok I see. I use to say that those artists have the same sensitivity. try james blackshaw maybe.

[@spurtfather]

james blackshaw eh? ok , I will. you know loren conners? good stuff

[@masataka986]

something like nick drake...

[@tmg1968]

an organized mess!

[@shatchett0]

Sounds like Hall an Oates.
