ThreeChordGuitar.com: how to play Folsom Prison Blues (Cash)

ThreeChordGuitar.com: how to play Folsom Prison Blues by the great Johnny Cash.

Reluctantly, I am posting this video based on a score of requests that I received in the past months. Please understand that I mean no disrespect to the great Johnny Cash for whom I have more respect than I can possibly express. I hope this is useful.

Gear used: MojoTwanger.com Telecaster-style w/ Fralin Blues Special pickups, Dr Z Mini Z head, Dr Z 1x12 cab.

how long hav u been playing guitar man?!?! do you giv lessons?? im 19 years old and liv in michigan i really hope you reply

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@arcticcatbro I don't give lessons, because I'd have to charge :) So the video lessons are free and that's the way I like it. I've been playing for 18 years now... thanks for watching! :)

Who would have thought at over 60 years old I'd have picked up a guitar just over a month ago and would be playing "Folsom prison blues", not very well I should add, but I can play the intro and I strum rather than pick on the main part, I can do the bass also,I am rather slower on all of it than Mojo but who cares I am enjoying myself and would like to thank you Mojo for giving me something constructive to do in retirement apart from just going fishing.

Many Thanks

This is so cool Roy. This is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish through these videos. You made my day!

@ThreechordGuitar - Hey dude, thanks alot for the lessons, youre doing a great job.

I wanted to ask you a question regarding rather there is a turnaround in this song like in the blues or not ?

[Freakster1970]

@westferrychip It's great how you can learn just the intro and that spurs you on to learn the body of the song. I don't think anyone is going to be great at first ! Once you get the chords, Intro and solo it's all about practice.

Thanks Mojo

@westferrychip I am just a kid over 50, having real trouble re-educating my left hand. Guitars are a bit different to sledge hammers. I am getting there slowly, but having fun trying!
