This bloke really does the man in black justice , very nice

[@aldenunion]

He sure does...

[@ispunked]

Wow.. This guy nailed it, the best Johnny Cash cover i've ever seen, topped all my expectations!!

[@swiftlessons]

Skip is an absolute beast, I'll send him your compliments. Be well. -Rob

[@margaretf5322]

look up Johnny Counterfit's Walk The Line. He's not a professional singer, he just does imitations, but his imitation of Johnny is dead on.

[@da324]

Jesse Morris does the best Cash of anyone on YT. Here's the kicker, he was in a punk band.

[@nickcage5626]

Check out Jackson cash

[@matuskvackaj9604]

I don't understand the negativity in some comments, this was a great lesson and it was nice to see a reincarnation of Johnny Cash :)

[@swiftlessons]

Hey everyone, Thanks so much for checking out this video and thanks to my patrons for making it possible. I've posted my tab, chord sheet and recordings at: goo.gl/WTZYoG. Enjoy!

[@wolfrace-oe2mg]

Skip is awesome first time I've come across him, never learnt guitar as fast. New fan right here 🙋‍♂️🤘

[@gillmatthews9014]

I saw Million Dollar Quartet last New Year's Day in London. It was fantastic. Im hoping to see it again when it comes back on tour.

[@angelapukis7458]

This video is amazing, Skip Robison sounds like jonny cash and Elvis Presley. You guys sounded amazing together.

[@swiftlessons]

+Angela Pukis thanks so much, I'll send skip your regards!

[@stinson6.082]

Angela Pukis he sounded nothing like Elvis or Cash , not saying he sounded bad.

[@johnosullivan6620]

So awesome thanks for having him on it was amazing to hear you both play! Glad to see these songs moving along in another generation!

[@charlesklein9169]

Great lesson. You fellas know how to teach. Thanks.I will be following future lessons.Best Johnny Cash I've ever heard.

[@musabhatti7948]

Two talented musicians playing amazing music!

[@iantarrant1985]

Many thanks Rob, Skip Robinson nailed that and I felt really entertained with the whole lesson.

[@htorres11]

What an awesome lesson...thank you for teaching us this great classic!

[@DBLDoG]

Singer pulls it off ....... well done 👍

Hello my name is Peter. I'm from Germany . You are very good teachers. Have learned a lot from you. Stay on your channel. Here in Germany you will not find such good internet teachers. Thanks again.

[@nicolen.9642]

Hello Peter! Same here in France... Cheers 🎵🎵🎵

[@sustainablelife1st]

Skip is awesome. Great lesson all around.

[@jarrasmith1]

Holy crap! This made my day. Great job, guys! More Cash, please.

[@swiftlessons]

Awesome, glad you're excited to learn this classic. Yes, more cash, absolutely!

[@woodstock2456]

His face melts whenever he lowers his voice

[@jrcarchive1932]

Thanks! Now I can't unsee it!

[@nathanfloyd098]

His voice is wow 🤩😘 thanks for this both of you

[@StephenRawding]

Loved this!! Really enjoy the "Featured Artist" idea, would like to see more. Great job!

[@swiftlessons]

+Stephen Rawding thanks, I'm trying to do this once a month, though I'll likely have to break for August. Glad you like the idea though.

[@jamescoughlan8193]

Ha oh my god I have a lawsuit cfsuzuki&co j200 acoustic too, bought it for fifty pounds second hand when I was 15 and I'm 58 now and I still love it, I've played and own much more expensive guitars but it's the one I'll pick up everytime. Those 1970s Japanese acoustics are really well made. You don't see many of them so I was thrilled to see that one.

[@lapofantoni6664]

Johnny cash still Amazing, as you Guys!! Thanks from Italy!!

[@carsonnova4193]

Such a great guitar lesson! Love your channel it's helped me out so much just wanted to say thanks!

[@JoeVGaming]

This was awesome. I can't wait till you Walk The Line lesson.

[@SwanseaTosh]

I've watched this lesson so any times...about time I actually tried playing it! Great lesson and excellent channel!

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Thank you for teaching this song in F, I don't know why everyone plays it in E.

[@swiftlessons]

+TenThumbs Productions well it's usually played in E position with a capo on first fret. I've seen footage of Cash doing it with and without a capo, sometimes in E and sometimes in F. The solo however has to be done in E position because it utilizes open strings.

[@dhy2kb393]

@@swiftlessons Tune the guitar up a half step to F and play it in open E position.. That's the way they done it.

[@tyrelhumble2006]

@@dhy2kb393 that's how I do it, too. Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two also usually did that

[@brendanmarchal]

Cash played it in E, F and F# too

[@jblackwellentertainment7084]

Even the original band that played this song played it live in e

[@nimatasnima3858]

Love the way he explained the cords with song that makes lot easier to learn.Both of you are so awesome teacher .And like always enjoyed it so much.thankyou so much.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Nima, glad to hear from you and so happy my teaching style is agreeing with you. I'll keep the lessons and featured guest coming!

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE INTRO TO THAT! I HAVE NAILED IT THANK YOU!

[@davidkless9131]

Incredible!!!!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Jayne, hope to have Skip back on very soon!

[@alexanderpotts7308]

I use a different strum pattern on this song (dotted eight and sixteenth) which fits a lot of country and Johnny Cash stuff. Its a lot easier to do as well and gives a great train sound. But I learned that intro you demonstrated and its great. Took about ten minutes to get it all flowing and I've an audition in a couple of weeks so just might do Folsom for it.

[@budandbean1]

Thanks Rob, great guest!

[@Bigdaddyroadshow]

This is one of the best classes - Thanks!

[@atocox166]

good Johnny Cash impression. This coming from someone not right now in the Johnny Cash music phase like I was when I picked up guitar a few years ago(but I will get get back into that mood eventually).Nice intro riff.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Ato, I'll send your regards to Skip, glad you're enjoying the performance! -Rob

[@Foxxie55]

Very good job on both singing and picking..

[@teleguy5699]

Great lesson. You just need a single coil Tele to give it that twang.

[@lianekerr9693]

Love it guys...I was learning this song..this is so much help...xxxx

[@Tupelokid11]

Awesome. Ty

[@rafaelfreitasgt]

Great lesson guys!!

[@bitcrusher64]

Cool rendition but using absolute fret numbers for the rhythm part (played next to the capo) and relative fret numbers for the lead part (played up the neck) seems almost intentionally confusing to me lol

[@skatetodeath666]

He eve nailed cashes faces he makes 🤣

[@bradstarkey7369]

When is his show coming to Seattle???? or do we get a shot

[@anthonycarollo]

Good stuff man

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Anthony, glad you're digging the vid. I'll have Skip back soon! -Rob

[@aaronfoley5150]

Hey Rob I think it'd be really cool if you could show us Chris Cornells version of I will always love you

[@swiftlessons]

You're right, that would be awesome, I'll put it on my list of things to check out. I've been consider his cover of Prince's Nothing Compares as well.

[@angelnichole.c.5630]

God it's crazy he looks a lot like Johnny Cash and has that same look in his eyes like him.

[@swiftlessons]

+Alpha.November.Charlie 01 Skip is the real deal. He’s currently portraying Buddy Holly in another musical.

[@angelnichole.c.5630]

swiftlessons could you do a video of "When I get where I'm going" by Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton?

[@imannonymous7707]

sun records forever....long live scotty moore

[@sidneyferreira3805]

Parabéns muito legal. ..

[@antonymeantonyme4448]

Could you please make a tutorial of 'rocky mountain high' or 'annies song' you can play without a capo? PS: Love your channel so much!!! :) (Sorry for that bad English in this comment but I 'm not from an English speaking country)

[@franciscocesardasilvacesar3550]
