[@boris010666]

Perfect J. Cash voice my friend, and you're an awesome teacher & guitarist!

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you so much Boris! I truly appreciate that.

[@glennso47]

How about “I’ve Been Everywhere “? Or “One Piece At A Time?” Maybe “The Ultimate Country Song” by David Allen Coe (aka “You Didn’t Even Call Me By My Name”)😬

[@Busterroderigas]

Hi buddy. What a great lesson for us dummies that can't read music :) I picked the song up with no issue thanks to you! I am a US contractor working in Djibouti Africa for the US Navy and playing my Martin has become my passion and my only form of entertainment. When I make I good dub I will send it to you so you can hear what you made happen for me. Thank you so darn much!!!!!

[@yourguitarsage]

You are so welcome Buster. First of all may God keep you safe and come home soon. Glad to hear you are enjoying your music and have a passion. After all these years, I still get a rush when I play. Stay in touch and let me know how you are doing. In the meantime, keep rockin! e :)

[@esegaelito4706]

When you said,” Hello Im Johnny Cash”. You did good cause you had that deep voice💯💯

[@000Jeannie000]

Old video I know but your voice was awesome for a “guitar lesson” as you say. My daddy loves this song and I plan to learn this. Kudos to you!!

[@MrNonaste]

Great lesson. Actually, my man, you should've sung the song. You got a good voice, Johnny...I mean Erich.

[@yourguitarsage]

+Ray Hahahaha ...now that's a very kind comment! Thank you man! e:)

[@VickyGeagan]

That was originally done my the Late Stan Jones in 1948. Their are around 15 different recording of that song that I know off. Maybe more.

[@johnconstantine6606]

I am from India and I loved this beautiful American country song brilliantly taught by you. Thank you.

[@yourguitarsage]

+John Constantine So nice of you to say! Thank you so very much! e:)

[@michiganfiddler1153]

Excellent instruction - Thank you. I am a novice and you broke down the technique perfectly for me. I'll have to check out your other videos.

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you so much Michigan! I have over 700 here on KZbin and lots of free stuff at www.YourGuitarSage.com. Please let me know how I can help!

[@fritzruttimann1517]

Great song, great lesson and superb singing, and your counting helped me a lot to play the constant rhythm - with strumming as well as with alternate pick&strum. Thanks a lot Erich!

[@yourguitarsage]

So kind of you! Thank you so much my friend.

[@joecrappiegill]

Hey man, awesome lesson! This 63 year old and beginning player got a lot out of it! I'll be back for more! Thanks again.

[@yourguitarsage]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

[@steffenpfau4303]

[@yourguitarsage]

You are so welcome Steffen! Let me know how you are coming along. Rock on! e :)

[@dennislyons3710]

[@yourguitarsage]

Dennis Lyons You are so welcome Dennis. So good to hear.I really appreciate the kind comment. e :)

[@WyattMartin]

One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. Thanks!

[@guitardog4570]

Thanks for the lesson. It helps to add a fake western accent and say 'I'm Johnny Cash....." like you mean it. Of course, you did that and I'm totally gonna steal that in my intro.

[@yourguitarsage]

Guitar Dog Hahaa Guitar Dog! You go dude! e :)

[@darrengaw2504]

[@inthword]

Can't thank you enough Erich. I'm just starting and your tricks are helping but do you have anything in your arsenal for sore fingesr?

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you Rob! I need to do some Conway!

[@horselover199715]

My sister and I are learning to play the guitar. My step-father doesn't think my sister will stay in and that I am not interested. She's got the book. He was play the 1st part of the solo on his last night. This was really helpful because we learned part of the solo but not the rest. We have 2 guitars and once we master it we're going to play it for him.

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you so much Rob:-)

[@TheRenaudSechan]

Thanks! I'm french, so I usually hardly understand english video lessons but you do explain very well. I have one request: Could you, please, record a video lesson for Roger Miller's "(Lucky Luke) Rides again", theme from the TV show starring Terence Hill. That'd be great!

[@MrExDArte]

Very helpful, but my hand can't keep up with the rhythm, my hand is just not quick enough. It may sound like a silly question, but are there any tips?

[@yourguitarsage]

Practice! Cures a multitude of problems...:) e

[@Sauerkrout60]

Slow the time down and try to keep the rythm then gradually increase your speed til your there..

[@yourguitarsage]

+sauer krout wisdom! :-)

[@orzog]

Don't want to practice it incorrectly. Harder to get it right if the wrong way has been cemented.

[@BillsCountry]

I do a LOT of Johnny Cash songs myself. Been told I sing like Johnny and play like Luther Perkins. Great job. I was looking to see if you did the instrumental part of the song...

[@yourguitarsage]

William Richards Thank you William. Appreciate the comment! Keep on rockin! e :)

[@TheJabroniJohn]

Awesome website, can't believe this video is almost a decade old!

[@merlinsdog4530]

That was so easy, cheers buddy! Just watched blues brothers, had to learn it! Thanks from England!

[@yourguitarsage]

Love it! Thank you so much my friend.

[@waynetendo1172]

what thickness of pick do you generally use when playing acoustic?

[@stevencreiter5763]

Erich, You are about the 6 th guitar teacher, and the first that makes sense to me. You see, I just bought my first guitar, but something that I have wanted to do for some time..? How do I get ALL of your lessons in one shot? I look forward to being with you as my teacher. I have a couple of physical issues though. I lost the very tip of my pointer finger in an accident,I am looking for some kind of a prosthetic finger to help me. I have discovered after some work that a thumb pick works for me,I am able to strume up and down well enough. Again Thank you fore your valuable time, Regards from Steven @ The Eagles Nest PS I live in BC Canada, the land of the legal weed

[@yourguitarsage]

So kind of you my friend. Here is where to start my friend: www.yourguitarsage.com/30

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@MrVashvsknives]

i have never heard a johnny cash song i didnt like most bands have a few songs a guy doesn't like not johnny cash hes all gold

[@grysharp3137]

I don't know why you said that sucked. You have a really good singing voice. You should have sung the whole song, I would have loved to hear that. I know fuck all about guitars and I have abandoned all hope of ever learning to play. It's way too complicated. But something about this video was just so endearing that I'm now toying with the idea of perhaps picking up a guitar again....damn you!

[@tabula123456]

Would you ever consider playing solitary man by Neil diamond? It has a great intro and is a class song.

[@RichardGaston]

Great video, I am trying to teach my 15 year old son how to play the guitar, so I need all the reference tools I can get including your free ebook, which I just got thanks :).

[@thefindus]

[@mikemavericktyler3791]

I was watching Johnny Cash on KZbin playing live: Looks like he has capo on 5th fret. And he's playing Em and G Thus Am C ? I know Bbm is the accepted key. Any thoughts?

[@kostaschicagobulls]

Hey man, I wanna ask you, are you from Greece by any chance?

[@zacturner9744]

What type of guitar are you using acoustic right?

[@yourguitarsage]

Takamine acoustic.

[@keithtpc1508]

That is the best of the worst Johnny Cash inpressions I've seen and I loved it and laughed all the way through it. Good work.

[@louispeters2105]

Ok I got it within the time of the video so there no denying you a thumbs up

[@EpicKillz]

I know I'm gonna seem like a beginner but I am I'm taking a class in high school are you strumming all the strings or just like strings 123as if 1 one an E
