[ashjon10]

b chord

[gav549]

nice original version of a great song.

[ninathenerd]

Ok have to admit you have a fan on your hands now.. lol.. sorry music as I said is a passion.. and well your voice is pretty amazing.. and love the guitar... the guitar has to be one of my favorites about your videos.. Tehehe.. obsessed with guitars..is that an Alverez?

[freezedriedpoop]

do you ever sing the original note? come on. dont try too hard. dont overdo it.

[trees44life]

sorry,lived in va.4 20 years.. had 2 move 2 wisconsin...miss my family much and your music helps.. i call my family and tell them what covers of yours 2 listen 2.... have you ever done sunday morn?

[trees44life]

No,I honestly believe you have a GREAT gift.I have listened 2 close 2 a thousand just covers,and I was never impressed. as soon as they started I would stop them,they just didnt work. then I came upon your Johnny Cash. I was blown away..You see that was one of my mothers favs,and she passed away when I was very young. So I am really paticular about that song. i was taken back.. I am from the mountains of West Virginia...REAL country. I am now in Virginia..You should try some Hinder.

[trees44life]

i am really impressed..I turned my sister and all my girlfriend on to you and they agree...we dont know what your doing now, but you need to be doing this full time. If you ever get a chance to play in a club, please let all your FANS know. we would love to come and see you in person....

[CoreyRoth]

Just trying to learn as many songs as I can, so should I ever sing in public... It won't last for 20 mins. lol Thanks so much for your words of encouragement... It means alot. Where ya from?

[tlohmoD]

You rock :) What are the cords for this?

Thanks

[tlohmoD]

So its E and A, but I cant get the third cord

[CoreyRoth]

I think the 3rd Chords is a B7? I'm pretty Sure....

[elrustito]

Fantastic.

[ElMariachi1226]

I have to tell you....that was UNREAL. Sweet job man. I love the spin you put on this classic. JC would be proud. Keep up the great work!

[MetOrion]

Your work continues to astound me man

This is just brilliant. Completely unique take on such a great song. I reckon John's looking down and smiling my friend

[Millerman2012]

wow bro another good one i like how u made this ur own

[ncbw]

great cover =]

[Desis7]

Great cover, just speed it up a bit. You got a GREAT voice, keep up the good work man

[Duffryproductions]

Yeah, lol. do sound like elvis. Good job. just a little to slow

[KiethWayne]

Goog job,, you sound kinda like Elvis

[silvislav]

Good job, record some more Johnny CAsh?

[9863rockapebruce]

man in black rocks....

so do you mate think you do a great cover...

keep it up

[PILGARLIC42]

Very good mate...keep it lit..

[EliteUBH]

Is that the Johnny Cash Martin Guitar you got there?

[CoreyRoth]

I ONLY WISH this Guitar was a Martin~ It's an Alvarez~ Martin hopefully soon to come, though I wasn't aware they made a Johnny Cash Martin~ May have to look into that! :)

[chuntoon007]

That was GRWAT!!!..great!!

[cashmanjoe]

you sound good dont get me wrong but johnny cash sings it right? keep it that way

[CoreyRoth]

lol No one Better than the Man.

[dominator68]

Sounds good but how about putting the lights on next time.  Can't see a thing

[CoreyRoth]

lol That's Hotel Room lighting for ya!

[stormbound]

Perhaps you just need to learn to adjust your display. :P

[nikkiloxx]

Hell fuckin' yeah!

It's goddamn amazing dude!probably you're the Cash's bastard;)this song kicks ass playing that way - good flow. I'm under impressed..Egg Suckin' Dogg would be the next one;) keep on rockin'!

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Nikki! I Appreciate It Much! :) Pretty Sure I'm no Bastard to Johnny Though~ lol

[LettuceLapMunchers]

Rock island line can be played with just an E believe it or not. Just pluck the top E string and then D U in the begining. then just pick up speed. DDU is the strum pattern when you pick up speed. Keep making the video's man, you rock.

[lithium1966]

try this song slowed down kinda like u do tennessee stud urvoice will go well if u do

[HardCoreSergeant]

Wow! ur voice is soooooooooooo deep! =)

nice song.

[LettuceLapMunchers]

Dude.. pretty damn good.. alittle different but i liked it.. you should try san quentin.. or elvis's in the ghetto.. i think you'd tear those songs up.. keep up the good work man!

[CoreyRoth]

THanks Much! I've ALWAYS Loved "In The Ghetto" though I've never tried to learn it. I'll have to look into San Quentin as well, I've recently been trying to learn Tennesse Stud~ Hopefully should have some new ones soon! Thanks for your Words~

[LettuceLapMunchers]

No problem man.. just keep making the video's.. your damn good.. "in the ghetto" is pretty easy, just E,A,D.(at least thats how i play it). Another i think you may bring down the house with is Johnny Cash's rock island line.

[CoreyRoth]

Damn, you don't know HOW BAD I wish I could get the Groove of Rock Island Line~ That's Such a Sweet Song! Talk about Fast & tricky Rythym... Definitly keepin' it in my mind! Thanks Again~

[acousticguitar2007]

i can play it, its fairly easy once you learn the rythme. the chords are very easy. if i had a video camera and my guitar wasnt at a music store right now i'd post it. get the chords and lyrics in front of you and slowly strum the E chord. then pick up the pace... there's only 2 chords for the whole song E and B7. its not as fast as you think, listen to johnny cash sing it... good luck and once u get it down pat post it.. nice job too

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks for the Boost! I've ALWAYS LOVED that Song & definitly want to learn it! E & B7, huh? That doesn't seem to bad... I'll have to give it a Whirl! Go get you guitar & a Video & feel free to give a Lesson!  I need more people showin, as I seem to learn better that way. However I've taught myself all the Johnny Songs I know, with the exception of Folsom Prison... Thanks again Acoustic Guitar! Happy Holidays!

[acousticguitar2007]

ya also put a capo on the 1st fret, i think it sounds closer to johnny cash's version for "rock island line." listen to the song for the strumming pattern. i mostly play johnny cash... what other songs can you play of his?

[CoreyRoth]

Ummmm... I've got 5 of his on here. I can play his version of Stings song "I Hung my Head". Man, I'm drawing a blank right now... lol I really want to start trying to learn some Waylon Jennings Songs, as I am Fascinated with his music! He was Such an "Outlaw" & has such a Demanding Voice. Hopefully I'll get to learn some more soon..... When you going to ad some Johnny Songs? I always enjoy hearing other people sing his tunes. Happy Thanksgiving! Corey~

[acousticguitar2007]

umm... not sure when... whenever i get a video camera.. i've got a few in mind to post.. like folsom prison blues, hurt, ring of fire, rock island line, god's gonna cut you down, cocaine blues, cat's in the cradle,orange blossom special and rusty cage... i know of one shooter jenning's song and its called "im a long way from home". there's "mama's dont let you babies grow up to be cowboys" by waylon jennings and willie nelson and some other ones by those 2 too.

[CoreyRoth]

Oh, I Love that Waylon & that song especially! I've really got to get into a Waylon Kick, cause there is so much I want to learn! Cats in the Cradle is good & I know Hurt. I just don't feel like I know it well enough.... Damn, I'd love to hear some of your tunes! Go get a Camera already! :) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

[nutta667]

i have a few ideas of Johnny Cash songs that you could cover! its whether you would like to lol?

[CoreyRoth]

I am Open Ears for any reccomendations! I litterally work 14 hour days, so it's hard for me to learn new songs right now.... But I'm Always Down for suggestions! Someone requested Man In Black, or I may not have learned it! lol Thanks Again! :)

[badseed86]

how about "Wanted Man" or "Ring of fire", they 're among my favs

[sirtitan45]

DUDE! Totally kick as. You've never listened to Elvis have you ;)

[CoreyRoth]

Elvis Costello? Never really got into him... ;) I LOVE ELVIS! lol He & Johnny are WAY up on my list! Thanks for the Compliment my friend! I wanna try an Elvis song sometime soon... Corey~

[cram1nblaze]

i LOVE all your covers keep them coming!

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Blaze! I'm going to try to get a few on here in the next week or so... If I could ever stop working to jam a bit I'd be in Heaven! :p Thanks for the Compliment.... ;)

[UBPaaron]

wow, again, blows me away, I still liked cocaine blues the best!!!

[CoreyRoth]

Thank you... That's my Fav as well thus far. I'm trying to work out "A Boy Named Sue"... I've got the lyrics, it's the groooooooove I'm lookin for. :p

[thenobody256]

Holy crap! No one can match the great J. R. Cash, but you do a pretty damn fine job at it. You should consider becoming an artist or something...

[CoreyRoth]

Thank You Very Much! I guess I have a bit of Artist at Heart. :) I'm going to try & break the mold & do an open mic soon... Stage Freight is a Bitch! lol Thanks again for the Boost of Confidence... :)

[jfidlam]

Hey, you are truely awesome! House parties must be fun at your house!! Keep em coming!

Charline

[CoreyRoth]

Awe... Thank you Much Charline~ Actually, I'm quite bashful in person & never sing for people live. However, thanks to comments like the one you just made, it definitly helps to break out of my shell. Gimme directions to your next House Party & we'll have some Fun! :D Thanks Again....

[jfidlam]

Well, lets say I live in the outskits of Dallas (New-Brunswick Canada)ha! ha! Pretty far...

I also don't sing in public alot. I do sing at gatherings but I need a certain amount of a "confidance juice" called Bud Light he! he! I will eventually be posting a video myself in the near future.

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Cocky, I'm debating to try this song over again. Full Force Johnny Style.

[lster123]

Yeah, ya gotta sing the song how it goes. Youre wersion was good though. It was cool. Its like the Johnny Cash Remix.

[Cockey83]

a bit slow in my oppinion. but pretty good

[thanetwaste06]

well done mate

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Much my Friend! :) Hopefully More "Coming Soon"

[Cashx8]

Good done! You gave this song a real personal twist! The way you did it makes it more Blues and less rock or country! It is a good thing people try to give songs an own interpetation instead of trying to copy the original hopelesly! I also watched your other vids, great done!

[satsumafire]

If there is a perfect way to murder well done cause you've done it..

[CoreyRoth]

Not sure I understand Fire ?

[docsnortan]

if you ever wanna learn how to play that hit me up

[CoreyRoth]

Will Do... :) Thanks!

[noobiePT]

great version nice m8

[ryfly1805]

I love your version of the song!!!! Sounds Great man... keep up the good work

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Ryfly! Keep posted for more tunes soon!  ~

[loststateoffranklin]

Great take & variation

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Lost State, I appreciate that.

[magicman1705]

no, he is a tennis player

[CoreyRoth]

Oh, okay... lol Not up to date on my Tennis Players  ;)

[LesserUnderground]

Apparently, your hard work has paid off. Nice work, man.

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks Underground!

[magicman1705]

man i never knew roger federer played guitar

[CoreyRoth]

I'm not sure who that is? Should I feel stupid for asking?

[klezotte]

I love Johnny,, you did a great job... you me inspired again... nice work.

[CoreyRoth]

Thank you Very Much!

[CoreyRoth]

I'm so Trying to get some going! I'm working 10-12 hour days right now & it's hard for me to play when I'm SO Worn Out! I'm learning a few though, I feel like I'm negecting my guitar! She's a very understanding Girlfriend though... :p More to come Very Soon, I Promise! Thanks Again Friend...

[DasHolz79]

Cool interpretation I Like it, good Voice, its not Cash Style but its Cool style keep it rollin man

[CoreyRoth]

Thank ya!

[Toemta]

pretty fucking good man! sounded nothing like Cash though... but don't take that like it's a bad thing!

[CoreyRoth]

Yeah, I wasn't going for the "Cash Sound" on this one... That's more of how I felt Singin' it. I've tried singin' like cash, though he plays it in different chords, so it just Totally messes me up! I need to get new videos on here... HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (I'm starting to Ramble...)

[steve2275]

not bad

u sound more like elvis than johnny

[everlongprod]

its funny how people like to change words around and totally distort meanings...you have a good voice...you need to learn how to adjust the strumming to the changes youve made because there are points your playing catch up and points you are completely behind

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks for the comment... I hear ya about catching up & lagging behind. Still working on it. Thanks for the constructive comments, it's always helpful. :)

[Defibrillator]

you're a good singer, but I am sure that he wrote the lyrics for a reason, so don't change them.

[devilsguitaarhero]

dude gotta awsome voice not kidding very nice

[CoreyRoth]

I appreciate that Man... You have any Guitar Jams on here?

[devilsguitaarhero]

you mean on youtube ???

yeah got the musicvideo of my band

check out my profile oh yeah and ive got a drunken sailor rock version hehe

[guitarplayer200]

i can do folsome prison man in black i walk the line get rythum ring of fire hurt i hung my head and im learning others

[CoreyRoth]

Nice! I'm trying to learn more & more.... I enjoy learning the lyrics as well as guitar. Johnny Cash is the Man!  We should trade Tabs, I notice everyone plays everything different.

[guitarplayer200]

i dont really use tabs that often cause most of the songs are the same 3 chords.. but anyways check out my video of folsome prison.

[guitarplayer200]

awesome rendition of this awesome song :).. i just posted a vid of it today and plan do also do afew other johnny cash covers

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks! I look forward to watching your covers as well! Which Johnny Songs do you play?

[Bobcuspe]

U should not try to change the style of the song, it´s not cool, also your voice....sorry.

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks for your Opinion! Gotta Take the Bad with the Good... Roll with the Punches! :)

[stratman281]

nice man I bet U can sing some Elvis songs

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks! I need to learn some Elvis, I've ALWAYS Loved him & outta respect need to learn some! Keep Tuned...

[kobabaloo]

i like to hear covers that have the artists own take on it, and this is what you have done here. It's commendable to try that but I think its Elvis like for such a song... keep singing though

[killamonkey]

got a good voice, you could sound like johnny if you want

[AwakenMustakrakish]

it doesn't sound right the way you sing it...no offense, but it's a sad song and that's not the way you're singing it.

[CoreyRoth]

Thanks for the comment. I'm going to try again & do it more traditional as Johnny Did. Thanks for your honest opinion! Corey~

[skinz909]

more more more. Requesting 'Man In Black' please.

[CoreyRoth]

I LOVE "Man in Black", thanks for the request, I'm off to learn it! :)

[ehrenberg]

awesome
