American Primative Fingerstyle Guitar

American Primitive Guitar

Highervista is dedicated to "American Primative Guitar Music," a term coined by John Fahey. This site is dedicated to the continued conversation about this style of music which embraces parts of Classical, Fingerstyle, Folk and Celtic music styles. While each style has it's own unique sound, American Primative Guitar blends, mixes, selects, abuses, and plays with the many concepts, ideas and themes of these styles and, as a result, derives a new and fresh approach to music.

While this site is currently set up with one musician (Ron McFarland), I intend it to be a resource for all Primative Guitarists to share:

  1. Click here > HIGHERVISTA Forum (to share information on American Primative Guitar and other related discussions)
  2. Related Forum Sites
  3. Related Blog Sites
  4. Links to your Favorite Guitar Shops
  5. Music Links
  6. Cool Video Links, etc.

Please feel free to drop me an email (see the Contact link to the left) if you have any suggestions about items and/or content that would be useful to other guitarists who are interested in this style of music.
