About this Quote

John Fahey's quote talks to his humility and lack of ego. He knows his immense skill as a guitar player, but he does not place much value on it. He speaks of it in an objective and dispassionate manner, as if it is a reality that he is aware of, but does not take pride in. This recommends that he is more thinking about the imaginative procedure of making music than in the recognition of his talent. He is likewise conscious that his lack of interest in his own skill is uncommon, and he can not describe why. This quote speaks to Fahey's character as an artist and his devotion to the craft of making music, rather than to the acknowledgment of his own talent. He is humble and focused on the imaginative process, instead of on the honors that come with being a great guitarist.
