American Primitivism also known as American Primitive Guitar is the music genre started by John Fahey in the late 1950s. Fahey composed and recorded avant-garde/neo-classical compositions using traditional country blues fingerpicking techniques which had previously been used primarily to accompany vocals. Other famous early proponents were Leo Kottke Robbie Basho and Peter Lang who all played at one time or another on Fahey’s Takoma Records label.
