Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (Country Guitar Lesson)

[@mikefinley4367]

Best lesson of this song I've found on KZbin and great for beginners ... in my opinion. Every beginner needs a song they can play while driving everyone else crazy. I really think this is a good one if you take it by sections as given and go slow memorizing. Everyone wants to run before they can walk as a beginner, don't. walk it, learn t. May Johnny be at peace ... and making music.

[@timblackburn6274]

Someone earlier pointed out the irony of an Italian who lives in England teaching Americans how to play this song. Not to be repetitious, but I had to learn this for my band. I was not a fan of this song, but your lesson really made this much easier for me. I appreciate your taking the time to share this video. Thank you.

[@rudestyle2534]

Yo, you look like the white Snoop Dogg 😂😂good lesson. Thanks

[@lioncurlew]

He's better looking

[@pretorian3333]

White Snoop Dogg🤣

I used to run home from school at lunch time to listen to the live album this was off :-)

[@real77games80]

Das cus there's no capo on the first fret so its in a different key

[@wilco1963]

how can we dislike this ? this is a nice man who works for people who love to play guitar and for free !!! tks dude very nice job !!!

[@brjoseph001]

I just love how you do your lessons, Dario - to the point, precise, very smooth how you edit - just really well done - Thank you for taking the time to do such wonderful work - it is greatly appreciated from this end!

[@bluesatsunset]

Best lesson of the Luther Perkins version on YT. Very difficult to replicate his or Bob Wooton's rail drive live though. Both of these guys were instrumental to the Cash sound. Great job man, I learned something from your lesson - thanks.

[@n.rcashofficial]

I've noticed Bob Wootton's a little easier, since it's more simple than what Luther had.

[@guitargetlessons9725]

Congrats Dario! This guitar lesson has been selected by our curators and listed on our website as the Best Guitar Tutorial for this song. Thank you for your hard work and expertise!

[@fenderstratguy]

EXCELLENT!!!! THIS is how I'd want to play it and how I'd want to sound like when I played it! Playing close to the bridge is so cool.

[@tonytrout]

Dario is great at how he teaches BUT Marty Stuart ROCKS when watching him play this "live". I was very fortunate to be in a band that opened two shows for Marty on July 17, 2008 in Hiawassee, Georgia, and it truly was a dream come true! Marty LOVES playing live and you can really tell that it shows on his face and the Fabulous Superlatives faces as well!

[@onenationunderduress8994]

Just makes me smile. Johnny Cash is legend. Thank you for doing this justice.

[@doneagle3938]

everyone else on the "tube" seem to rush through the lesson,but you beak it down so simply...thanks so much

[@Bobplawyer]

I have enjoyed dozens of very fine lessons on You Tube by some very good instructors; but, you are far and away the very best instructor. Super job. Very visual. Nice easy pace to the lesson. Just overall a superb job. You are the best!

[@joshbrown4614]

finally a lesson that is clear to the point, and doesnt cut out half we to get you to subscribe to their website for the other half! THANK YOU!

[@snottyvar]

Concise, clear and clean. Best lesson on the net. Thanks

[@ArisianFusion]

I have seen many lessons on this song and this was the most helpful - thanks! Especially good for getting the transition into the solo.

[@alsendk]

You have the most calm and comfortable voice Iv`e heard for the longest time, and you show this stuff so wonderfully slow thay even I can follow. Thanks a lot mate...salve

[@thomasdunlop7694]

Good clean lesson and a BIG time saver. Thanks.

[@markjensen4489]

I was just looking for something on how to play the guitar solo and found this video. It was very useful and now I have the basis for the whole song, not just the solo. I like the way he carefully laid out each phrase. I'm a bit unsure of the flourish at the end but I should be able to figure it out.

[@KevinMThomas]

Wow this is brilliant you are an amazing talent Dario.

[@jasonsharples1]

I've spent good money on instructional DVD's that weren't a fraction as clear and easy to follow as this. Excellent work!

[@tolvajakos]

favorite solo of my favorite song. love how Luther Perkins does this. and now I will be able to play it too. almost there. thank you!

[@wjmildfelt9369]

One of my all time favs thanx I think I can play it now with your excellent instruction!!!

[@adambedsaul7048]

Great. But I can do it with a glass or bottle. But Kool..

[@ricardobacigalupe7154]

from Mar del Tuyu Buenos Aires (argentina) i'm 73 years old and going to learn country song .you are a good teach thanks !

[@bassman3834]

Thanks for a fantastic lesson. I always wanted to be able to play this. With time and you're lesson, I might get it right. Thanks again...

[@PhilFeedback]

Great job, thanks for sharing your video with us

[@sprngrdave]

It doesn't matter. He speaks "Music" thanks Dario for the Great Lesson. It was easy to understand how to play the song the way you broke it into its different parts. I'm looking forward to more of your video lessons.

[@jaybarber68]

You are the only one who actually plays like Luther. Thank you for you.

[@spikefish07]

what a great teacher i am a beginner and dario has made me feel ace i am very slowly learning folsom prison blues, its the first tune i have ever made on a guitar, brilliant thanks

[@dannylaurenzana1]

thank you.. that is the most detailed I have seen. You are a good instructor

[@atodd22]

Quick and easiest lesson I've ever experienced. You are definitely a great teacher, thank you.

[@OmegaSteel429]

Have been looking for an isolated version of this so I can learn by ear, but a lesson is even better. Thanks!

[@DutchVanHelsing]

6 bloody years I have been looking for a tutor and at last I have found you ! GREAT Thank you...I just watched " I walk the line " today.

[@artwiechmann5095]

This is probably the best guitar lesson I have found here. Well done, and thanks!

[@alderete74]

This is one of the most precise academically perfect instructional videos on youtube, well done.

[@leascaart]

FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!! Your angles are great!! visible and clear placement of fingers Is there... great detailed, step by step explanation. I'm so glad you pay attention to the camera angles. Thank you

[@hectorcastro2657]

thank you Dario you know how to explain very well which makes it understandable for a begginer like myself. Outstanding job brother once again thank you.

[@luisatanacio9114]

You were an epic friend in honoring the "Man in Black"

[@haf816r]

Great lesson, great sound and Beautiful Guitar!!! Thanks for your Infinite patience, youre a great instructor; Thank You Good Sir!

[@cocomaan]

dude, your style of instruction is really clear, please do more lessons

[@rockhardlyable]

Very helpful, thank you, you are a very good instructor. One of the best I have seen yet on youtube. Most people will not show you where their fingers are placed, then go too fast for you to follow. Excellent.

[@garyhenderson690]

Probably the best guitar instructional video Ive seen....Great detail ...keep it going my friend!!! Please do more....

[@janroberts9375]

I am a bit of a late comer to your lessons, your lessons are amazing great picking and excellent verbal instructions, one day I hope to be a proficient on the instrument as you are.

[@jld82]

fabulous lesson...clear easy to follow...thanks so much for the inspiration

[@truthstillmatters59]

Excellent. Breaking it down bar by bar really helps speed the learning process. Thanks for a great lesson on a great song!

[@poorbabydale]

Dario, i think you are the best teacher on here. thanks a lot.

[@PutschPatriot]

Thanks Maestro! I have been looking at so many videos and they just do not know how to explain things. Yours was the easiest to learn and I picked it up real quick, looking forward to learning more soon.... Keep up the great work

[@johnwheatley2815]

Best tutorial I have seen on this tune. So clearly explained, Thanks

[@Rootiii1]

Wonderful lesson, clear and to-the-point. Thank you!

[@BigMikeHangin]

[@MrFirsttogo]

By far the best instructions I have seen for this song so far. Gives me just about everything. Really good job!

[@TheCormorants]

Wonderful lesson thank you, you are one of the best teachers on youtube.

[@stina20a]

I love this. Wish it was written down / tabbed out so I could print it. Thanks

[@theHAL9000]

Terrific lesson. Excellent camera angles with super helpful voiceover. Thanks!!

[@Willistonkid]

Granted its a simple song but if your not a country player like me it sure made it simple. Great job. Robin in Florida

[@chriskeiser6626]

Wow, just came across this. Best example I’ve ever seen! Thank you

[@daverodgers9238]

Thanks Dario.im only now learning guitar after putting it aside years ago. this is the first song I've tried learning in entirety and I found your teaching awesome. so finally I'm stringing something together.great work

[@josephterwilliger7202]

Thanks for the lesson I always learn something new on how to play every time I watch your lesson plan again thanks and hope to see a lot more.

[@easyguitarguy]

Great lesson.....spot on!

[@stringbender57]

Very authentic sounding 'Luther Perkins' solo. Nice job, good lesson for this classic country tune!

[@hochbob]

You are an excellent teacher. This is one of the best guitar tutorials on the Tube. Thanks for posting!

[@leehacker6001]

Awesome teacher and a true hero!!!

[@SuperOlds88]

Excellent teaching of an excellent song.

[@5stringkeith]

Excellent lesson. I play it exactly the same way. You are a GREAT teacher. Real nice job....

[@tyger7406]

Just wanted to thank you for the lesson. I feel that it was very well thought out and presented in a logical, easy to follow way. That guitar reminds me of a Blackguard. I am now viewing your website. I would love to learn more songs from you. Great job!

[@nextellcup8]

i have spent hrs looking for videos , yours by far is the best. alot of them do not show the strumming pattern . i hope you will do more in time. again thanks so much

[@kklampton]

Enjoy all your lessons, there Great!!!!

[@motorbiker63]

You're really a good teacher. I watched this (wthout my guitar) and swear, I got just about all of it down! Thanks, man.

[@kato64]

I'm not really a lead player by nature, and even though this one sound fairly easy, I could never quite figure it out. Great lesson. Thanks!

[@terada2423]

Thank you thank you, for showing a great way to play this song. You made it so easy to understand.

[@harrisfrankou2368]

Sensational I got the whole thing nearly st watching great camera shot, so perfect a video for someone that knows some of this style and an awesome detailed breakdown

[@lilacsocks7957]

Great lesson Dario, you really nailed it!

[@markhaze8684]

Grazie per la lezione molto accurata.La seguirò con attenzione perché questa canzone è un classico del genere musicale.All the best to you!

[@Flatted357]

ANOTHER GREAT LESSON-- thanks- Odd, even this short little song utilizes all three flats-- the flatted 3rd, 5th, and 7th-- I fully expected to find these notes in all rock and blues songs; (and Brent Mason licks); but not OLD country songs. -- but there they are in this Johnny Cash classic.

[@jerseyjess6151]

Brilliant lesson, thank you.

[@kmclare]

wow, well done. you got lots of guitar chops and really dig the way you craft your lesson. Very easy to follow. Thanks so much

Thanks for the break down. I've struggled with this for years! Thanks again bro!

[@TheMissesboomboom]

Thank you so so much! I really wanted to learn this, but there aren't that much good tutorials on youtube. i really appreciate that you're doing it that slow, because i play the guitar for a few years now, but i'm not experienced with solis and that stuff. it really helped me! thank you! :)

[@jakewall9635]

[@paulmadden708]

Dario, I'm a huge fan of your work. Are you planning on posting any more lessons? I have learned so much, yet hungry for more. Best teacher on Utube.

[@michaelhoge4729]

Best teacher I've seen most guys I can't tell what string's they hit and they go to fast

[@redhatmusicproductio]

Great teaching style. Much success to you in the future.

[@clearblueswamp4328]

Terrific lesson, very well taught. looking for more. Thanks so much

[@indianatone218]

[@TheJasonMarlo]

Thank you. You're a very good teacher and player!

[@EJStormful]

I tried, tried, tried and always failed. It must have happened, that an Italian guy, from the other side of our planet, did explain this anthem of Johnny Cash to me, that finally I succeeded. Viva Italia, and thank you so much.

[@superdooperdavee]
