When I lost Johnny Cash I didn't leave my room for at least 3 days. That was the loneliest time of my life; the heroin didn't stop the pain. No one around me even know who I was crying about.
A guy with an average voice, and a piece of wood, with some strings. How can he create so much feeling with just that? He plucks the string at about 3:30, and it creates such a dramatic pause. Very cool
So sparse yet so full, voice is aged but yet still powerful, so simple its is complex and layered with emotions, so fragile yet so forcefull. There will only ever be one man who could deliver that with so much grace, and that was Jonny Cash.
@arbagle: Thank you, man, thank you very much for posting this video! It is... like heaven's speaking to you. Every time I watch it... I look into these great old man's eyes, and I would have like talked to him so much. So much more than show biz. That is life.
Could anyone tell me please the strumming and picking patterns Mr Cash is using here? I have been watching and watching and watching this video...lol...and I still can't figure it out...i am very new to the guitar...so any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you.

@dawilde70 I think a lot of here know just what you mean. Cash was a man greater than the sum of his parts.
