Folsom Prison Blues Solo - Johnny Cash, Luther Perkins

[zombiekiller6973]

i like the guitar

[1964hampton]

before u post a youtube video of that, learn how to play it the rite way first ,dipp shit

[davidcotestratton]

what tab did you use?

[dansvidz]

Ellum, this is PERFECT. All the haters on here talking about it not being right can go watch the live videos of Johnny on this site and get their ears checked. I think I've got it down now, but I could see how it could be hard for beginners to pick up without tab. Plus, there is tab all over the internet for this song that is just flat out bad. Please do a service to the world and post an update with the full tab. Thanks man.

[Preirin]

Can you provide the TAB for that riff?  I've been trying to pluck it out but having a heck of a time

[MrWelchey]

some one wearing nike playing johnny cash i thort i was the only one lol

[milfil2000]

Thanks! Very helpful!

[perkinsfan]

instead of putting the guy down, post your own video... sounds damn good to me.

[JohnnyCashRocks101]

its wootens verson for sure

[SeanBenz33]

actually a mix of Luther and Bob to be exact but yes

[caioviskis]

very good

[blackfireINSANITY]

It sounds AWESOME, but for some reason part of it sounds a bit off. It may just be me hearing it wrong. Great playing though. Keep it up! Yeah, we would like to see more Cash, too. He's always been one of my very favorites.

[memphisrow]

My friend you are good.

[Johi2410]

Yeah after all it is not exactly Luther's. But it is a good point to start from! Whoever thinks the solo can be learned from just watching one video can't be right!

[FireAce44]

take luthers amp or sound effects pedal or whatever with some drums and youd sound just the same.

Its a solo guys, comon.

[uuuuiiiii]

u guys all think it doesnt sound like luther but i think its awsome

[UberDave09]

not quite Luther's.

[EliteUBH]

The beginning of it sounds like Bob Wootton's, but the end don't and the middle isn't the way Bob plays it, Idk who's solo it is?

Is it a Wootton-Perkins solo???

[azzan360]

that version of the solo you're playing is not the one Luther made =)

[Johi2410]

Very good! I tried to nail that solo for myself and to find out how to play it but I just didn't get it!! But that video explains everything, just great! Can you do more videos like this one here with the great explanation in the description and the clearly seeable tabs on the guitar??

[unionsundown]

nice job, nice telecaster, great sound . . .

[guitar7seven]

play ring of fire fur us

[jordanbeaulieu]

the chorus sounds harder than the solo...sweet :P

[deltamatt001]

needs a little tuning, but great skill man

[hollowbastionlovr]

will you play big river for us?

[cashfan85]

Great job! Check my video and give me some tips...just learning to play.

[bmxroxs]

you should show the whole guitar when you play the lower parts of the song thx

[ellum68]

Yea, it was one of my first vids. I'll keep that in mind though.

[guitarman63mm]

why is this song elusive to anyone figuring it out by ear?

the little triad break is just A# in different voicings

if you know the caged pattern its pretty simple

[gibby6117]

Good work and do you know where I may find tabs for the lead or picking part? Thanks Gil

[AtrumDio]

Hey thats really good i was wondering if you could possblt point me in the direction of that tab beacuse ive been trying to figure this out for i dont know how long, thanks for all your help

[LutherMPerkins]

What equipment are you using?

[ellum68]

Wow, I'm quick at replying! The guitar is an '01 US Tele and I think I'm using my '67 Deluxe Reverb.

[AmericanCowboy1234]

cant see it when you slide your fingers up the fret to the left there, but you nailed it.

[Goschka]

That's the sound of Folsom Prison Yeah!

[promagnum]

If you want to play along with the Sun records song, don't go out and buy a cheapy 10 song one from an unknown label. Go buy THE COMPLETE SUN RECORDS from Time Life or THE MAN IN BLACK 1954-1958 from Bear Family. For some reason, the restoration went wrong in the tape and it is sped up a little. Time Life and Bear Family took a great amount of time and slowed it down to get the key right.

Remember. DO NOT BUY A CHEAP VERSION OF THE SONG. GO OUT AND GET YOURSELF A GOOD VERSION OF THE SONG.

[promagnum]

If anyone was having problems trying to do Folsom by ear, and want to learn by listning to the Sun records, DO NOT go out and a cheapy 10 song c.d.

[Cashfan001]

Hey Ellum! thanks for the video! i am going to download that guitar pro and see if it works!
