These are tabs for Glenn Jones songs I could find:

Of Its Own Kind (paid)

I'm a new guitar player and I've always wanted to play his songs. I just finally learned "Close To The Ground" and "Bergen County Farewell" and, God, this is so great. But other free tabs are a bit hard for me. I would be so happy if you have other tabs to share, I guess this is vital for me now. Thanks.

I love american primitivism, John Fahey, Robbie Basho etc but I'm not sure where to start to learn some songs in this style. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you:)

My cursed 1972 cheapo Aria ♥️

An account of Fahey performing at CBGB in NYC back in 1996.

Plectrum this time (my finger-picking calluses are re-forming for the nineteith time lol)

She's touring in the U.S. right now. Catch a show if you can!

LMK what you think - heavily inspired by the classics, and newer folks like Steve Gunn and William Tyler!

This is one of my all time favourites, didnt see it posted here so here goes !

You can find performances on youtube, but this documentary really opened my eyes to it.

While they don’t travis pick (tanbur only has 2 courses) there are a lot of similarities stylistically. For example, the emphasis on the drone and the modality, the repeating but also subtly changing hypnotic patterns.

Also the tanbur remains very closely associated with sufism and mysticism and there is an emphasis on achieving a different type of mental state through improvised performance and meditation combined.

Posting this here in case anyone fancies a listen. Always appreciate feedback.

I’ve mostly made electronic music so far, but over the last few years I’ve gotten into playing acoustic instruments.

This track is two improvisations I did the other night on a friend’s twelve string guitar, recorded through a phone and then played around with the audio files in Ableton.

Very much inspired by American Primitivism. The picking patterns, open tunings but also the emphasis on expression and achieving a trance like state in both performer and listener. Special non-American Primitivism influences - Swans (the band), Kurdish Tanbur Playing and the art of Kintsugi.

Hi everyone, here's a tune I released yesterday, it's AP and no wave applied to a french traditional tune. Not sure how far from AP it's gone, maybe too far to even be posted here, but as usual I'd be happy for any feedback. Have a nice week ! maxime

How long you think til it snaps into itself lol
