- Welcome to my "I Walk The Line" Guitar Lesson + Tutorial, by Johnny Cash.
In this lesson, I'll show you the complete intro riff to "I Walk The Line" including TABs and strumming. We start with an easy version and learn the bass notes, and then we go intermediate and add chord strums to it! We will also learn 3 easy chords and the classic country/folk boom-chika strumming pattern.
"I Walk The Line" CHORDS: E, A, B7
"I Walk The Line" STRUMMING PATTERN: R-Du A-Du (R = Root, A = Alternating Bass Note)

The lesson begins with the intro melody. We break it down and learn it bit by bit. For the most part it's just the bass notes for each chord shape with a little walk up, or walk down to get to the next chord. Once we learn all the notes, and we count the rhythm, we play it together to make sure that you can put the whole thing together, start to finish.
Then we take a look at the chords and strumming. This one is a super easy three chord song - there is a bit more to it which we'll go over in the next lesson - but for now we're just going to stick with three chord shapes, and the classic country style strumming pattern. We practice the chord switching and the strumming pattern separately, and then we put it together and play it slowly.
Finally we add strumming to our intro melody. This is a bit on the intermediate side but it sounds great, so it's well worth the effort. We end the tutorial by playing through the entire intro, and the chords, all together, and that's it!
Hope you enjoy the lesson. Take care!

It's about time I taught this classic! Any other Johnny Cash (or even country and folk tunes like Waylon, Willie, etc) that my channel is sorely missing? I'm gonna do Ring of Fire pretty soon, and aside from that I'd love some suggestions!
Ode to Billie Joe?
GIVE US MORE JOHHNY CASSHH AND NELSOOOONNNNN🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was looking for an easier tutorial on this song. Thank you. Please do a tutorial on every song that exists in this world.
Great song! And great lesson! I’ve been trying this classic for almost a year. Your video is excellent and has brought it together for me. Thank-you.
Excellent tutorial as usual Johnny Cash was unique from strumming and his voice this is going to take awhile to fully comprehend but it's worth it.U rock Captain James!
Absolutely brilliant James. You sound just like him!
Amazing lesson James. Great teacher. Thank you. 💯✌
James, looking good in the new studio. Stay safe my friend and good luck for the future.
I love everything about the work you are doing! It seems like the best learning series of all to me.
Thank you!
Hey man! Just starting to play for fun. Really like your way to teach. Digging to learn more on your channel!
I use to ignore melody because I was beginner. Now I like it.
It's funny how our ears change as we get used to songs
Great job keep it up !!👍
Thank you! Will do!
I'm wanting to learn this chum have you video lesson full 😉👍🏻🎶🎸
👍👍 Great tutorial, James. Very well explained ! I love J.Cash & Highwaymen ... How about "live forever" ? Thanks for your work. Greetings from France ☺💜
I don't have my guitar in my hands right now. How can I find this video again.
I love the way you break it down.
Blessings,❤ and Aloha from Maui, Hi.
This is great - beginner guitar learning is actually frustrating and boring, with this video and others from GG, it makes you feel good , like you can actually do something. Thank you for creating it sir.
Hey that's the whole point! I'm happy you're tuning in.
Nice! Very informative, as always. Somehow, easier to understand than JustinGuitar tought + the melody riff. :) Any chance you'd be doing The Islander tutorial by Nightwish?
Great suggestion!
Hello
I like the sound of your guitar !
Please what is the model ?
Thank you for this tuto
It's a Larrivee LV-05 (I think... it's at my jam space right now).
Awesome lesson! Any chance you have Dire Straits’ “Romeo and Juliet”?
Has my 3 fav numbers 🤣
Yowzers I just found a new guitar channel
"Rusty cage" please🙏
👍
Is it possible for you to include the bpm for each song on your chord sheets?
I certainly can!
First comment❤
Please send me a way to find this video again. Then I have my guitar.
I looked up it’s just a bunch of cheap walk cycles and this showed up
WALK the line CYCLES through 3 keys. I believe I mention that in the video and the description. Probably why it comes up.
How about Mamma Don’t let you babies grow up to be cowboys; highwayman; or Theme Of Dukes of Hazard
I already have a tutorial for Mama's here: czcams.com/video/4JY7zDHREak/video.html
👍
