DESCRIPTION:
Or in this particular instance, SteelLESS Guitar Rag. This John Fahey composition was written to be played with a steel or bottleneck, but I am too incompetent with these devices to even attempt to use them here. However, I really love this tune, and it's a joy to play even without a slide, so here it is. It's played in open D tuning. If you want to hear a proper treatment of this, replete with the slide work for which it's named, check out John's CD "The Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites".
