    Man alive! This is where it all started for me. My dad would play this ALL the time. I thought Cash & Perkins ripped off my dad first time I heard Folsom Prison blues. This is one of the very first things dad taught me. Great job!! 00

      Yes sir me too. My grandfather taught me Johnny Cash songs and my old man taught me Black Sabbath. Folsom prison blues was the first and almost every time I pick up my tele I play it. Great memories.

      @@mma1st105 Right on!! It's one of the first things I taught my son. And then he wanted to play at the school talent show in the 5th grade back in 2005. We brought the gym down with "Walk the Line." DAMN GOOD DAY!! 00

      My thoughts exactly. I went to bed at night listening to my dad playing songs with this rhythm style on his Gibson J45 (which I still have). He was a big fan of Cash and Perkins. It is a very happy sound to me.

    Played bass guitar in a garage band back in the Late 60s. Then I took up six string When I became a Johnny Cash Fan and have been playing it ever since. Great lesson to cool

    Really like this lesson. Even though simple, getting it in the pocket takes work. I love solo guitar playing that has nice bass lines or runs, whether country, jazz, blues. I'm definitely up for lessons that incorporate nifty bass parts, whatever musical style.

    So that’s how they did it! Very cool! I know that when they were starting out they all hung together, so it’s only natural their styles rubbed off on each other! Very good tutorial. Awesome!

  • @slicksnewonenow

    This is just about the way I play when doing a solo show... Something that helps the effect, is if you're plugged in, you want to run through a delay of some type... Set it really dry and for only one or two repeats at about .75ms.
    That really gives it "the Sun Sound".
    Oh... And forget any reverb if you're going for the Fifties vibe... The slapback is PLENTY.
    As a side note, I'm pretty sure that Jack Clement had Johnny weave a crisp Dollar bill through his strings, about halfway up the neck, when he recorded a few of those Sun singles...
    It's a really kool little truck. It almost sounds like a snare drum.

    so when i was jamming with a Cash fanatic, i came to find out that Fulsom Prison is in the key of F , and Johnny used a capo on the 1st fret , , that half step makes a noticeable difference in the vocal , , plus , for me , it's much more fun to play on piano and lead guitar in the key of F : )

    Luther! I think I heard Kenny Vaughn say that Luther played flat wounds. Do you have any of your guitars set up with flat wounds and if so what is your impression of how they play?

    If your playing electric use reverb and a little bit of slapback delay. The delay is real important in getting the Luther sound.

    This has been really enjoyable and educational I have loved it but sorry I wish when you are teaching please be more helpfull with the visual of the guitar picking. The camera should show a close up at times when the finger instruction become important as at 5 to 6 mins. Hopefully constructive criticism.

  • @brentinsask
    @brentinsask Před 2 lety

    Can you break that strum down a bit. E chord
    6- down
    4- down
    5- up
    4- down
    ?
    ?
    I can’t catch it from there. You say 6454 but down, down, up, down, down, up
    What’s the last two strums? 3:09 part of your video

    @MrFrampo56 Před 3 lety

    Hi Brian. Great lesson as usual. I’m about to become a full member later today. I have one question for you, hope you can help - I bought a brand new CEO -7 today ( £2,700 in England!). I’m not massively impressed, think it might be the strings. I know it needs to ‘open up’ I just wondered which strings you used on it in your demo videos? I’ll never sound like you, I appreciate that but I do like the guitar and don’t want to return it. I bought it without playing it first , the only store that stocked them being 250 miles from me. Last one in stock , too.
    Thanks for everything, sorry for boring you and being off topic. Love the lessons

  • @howardsternssmicrophone9332

    This technique, or style (Luther's parts) are not as easy as they seem. It's deceptively tricky in my opinion. The man was right here when he said you got to train your right hand to do it.
