The Yellow Princess by John Fahey

This tune is an epic of simplicity. It sounds long and Complicated but it is made of pieces that are both simple and Physically easy to play even for the inexperienced fingerpicker. It is great fun to play; there is a well defined melody line and A catchy loping rhythm even when played at slower tempos. And it Is in standard tuning, unlike most of Fahey's longer pieces.

You can hear Fahey's rendition of this piece on his CD's THE YELLOW PRINCESS (Vanguard; also available as part of THE ESSENTIAL JOHN FAHEY) and THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED: THE JOHN FAHEY ANTHOLOGY (Rhino). In the very amusing liner notes to THE YELLOW PRINCESS Fahey states that the tune is based on a passage >from "The Yellow Princess Overture" by Camille Saint-Saens before Descending into the usual Fahey surreal fantasy.

This tune was tabbed by Dave Cohen, [email protected] or [email protected]; the file was created by his faithful transcriber,
