Awesome ! love that opening riff Thank you

I just found this massively awesome tutorial today. This is a song I can play on my acoustic guitar at a campfire or on my porch around a few friends with me being the only person with an instrument (guitar). It's already fun, even though I suck at it so far. Ha ha!! Those little additions like the intro and outro and also the switch to B7 (@7:25) add SO much to the song.

Hey Jon, thanks for posting these great song walkthroughs! Could you do the rhythm guitar from the song Sexy Ways by Funkadelic? I’d greatly appreciate it. Best!

[@hamhocker]

Hi Jon Really appreciate what you do, I really connect with your teaching style Just great! One question, why use a capo on Folsom Prison Blues??

[@ponzo1967]

Just to bring it up in pitch to match the album. It can be done without one it will just be a semi tone lower in pitch

[@ponzo1967]

Jon doesn't typically interact in the comments so I obliged.

[@gerardelzinga9213]

Johnny's guitar wasn't in standard tuning, but a semi tone higher. His E was a F etc..

[@hamhocker]

Thanks for the info!@@ponzo1967

How do we get to b7?

[@rocker8692]

Hi best bud

[@robertgonzales7416]

Trying to understand your fretboard guide. If I look at the first row going across it shows the parent open chord, shapes in C, major pentatonic, and major scales and the arpeggios/chord tones. If drop down to the next rows, regardless of Chord name, it shows the chord shapes for their respective chord name but the shapes, scales and arpeggios are for the key of C in a different part of the neck. Is there a video that explains how a person is supposed to use the chart?

[@davepacino]

I've been trying to learn this song, but in the recording it sounds like 11 bar pattern not 12

HELLO JON, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR MUCICAL TRAING , OR YOU A SELF TAUGHT MUSICAN ? JOHN FROM NORTH CAROLINA I SAW JOHNNY CASH IN PERSON IN NEW YORK AT THE PLAZA HOTE BY CENTRAL PARK . JOHN FROM NC .

Great song and tutorial. I like to mute strings with my elbow on the bridge and strum over middle of neck. Dynamics are controlled by how much muting you do

[@colincannings7946]

I'm hoping your intending to fix the intro! This track is one of my favourite's. I've been listening to it for many years. You are adding a note which should not be there.

You do too much talking like most people and not enough action you don’t get to the point and end up getting boring boring and boring. I can play Folsom prison, blues, faster and you can even Strom.U
