American Primitive is a style of acoustic guitar music that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its use of open tunings, fingerpicking, and a focus on melody and improvisation. It is often associated with the folk revival of the 1960s and 1970s, and is heavily influenced by blues, ragtime, and Appalachian music. It is often seen as a precursor to the New Age and Americana genres.
