Lesson ID: A0174
In this country guitar lesson, we’ll work on some Johnny Cash style rhythm guitar. First we’ll go over a nice country strumming pattern and get some practice strumming over a country chord progression. Then we’ll add some Johnny Cash style bass line walks to the chord progression to help transition from one chord to the next. You’ll learn eight Johnny Cash style bass line walks with tablature on the screen. After that, you’ll learn two guitar scales that you can use to create your own country bass line walks and then we’ll get some practice using these scales to play longer Johnny Cash style fill riffs. Overall this is a great guitar lesson that will give you that traditional country sound on your acoustic guitar.

I got more out of your great lesson than all the others I've been watching for last 2 years when I picked up the guitar at 60 years old. I'm able to grasp every part of the lesson, maybe because of you calm, cool, laid back manner. Thank you so much!

[@countryguitaronline]

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate it!!

God Bless you, Sir; I'm 78, and for me, you are the perfect teacher. You take your time showing and teaching rather than trying to show off. Retired VietNam Disabled Vet....Pro. 3:5-6

Fun less. Sounds a lot like Willie, “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”, with that hammer on. Thanks so much for dedicating your lessons to country music 👍

Great Cash Runs. Well Done Teaching Johnny 's sound

Hi ! Nice lesson ! I'm a senior (with the usual arthritis), and I'm new to guitar, and I'm stubborn...I won't quit even though the arthritis makes me sound bad. I'm gonna keep plugging along, and YOUR lesson is a big help ! Thank you and please do some more pick/strum, and walking bass, etc. Thank you !

[@countryguitaronline]

Good deal! Glad you’re putting the lessons to good use 👍 sounds good, I’ll try to work in some more of those style lessons. Thanks!

[@arbutussignsvideo5654]

I am a 70-year-old man in poor health. I got a Martin X series acoustic guitar. V. hard to learn, hurts the fingers and to get the Rythm, well, let's say nothing on that. Now about your teaching methods, "They are great" You are teaching me what I have always wanted to know, Thank you so much. I may never be able to play well but, as they say "I died trying". Thank you sincerely

[@countryguitaronline]

Thanks for the comment! Hope you can pick up some cool things through the videos! 👍

[@OhMiaGod]

You are a *fantastic* teacher! Thank you for a great video. I've tried and failed about 5 times to learn the basics of guitar across my life, this video had me amazed at how quickly I was able to start to get some introductory things down while also creating a really fun sound! Fingers crossed I can stick to it this time! 😄

[@countryguitaronline]

Thanks Mia! Glad the lesson video is helping out!!

[@ako1439]

@5:46 that's my new A Major. Finding it difficult to use 3 digits on any fret. Delighted with that solution. Thank you. For real though, I've wasted a whole year, and KZbin's got me playing Popeye the sailor man. But,sure i only bought a guitar for Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash songs. I can play these chords, at pace, in a few days. Happy enough with that

[@memes4life231]

Awesome!

Just wanted to say you do a great job!

[@balhallak]

Very good lesson, thank you.

[@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426]

Wonderful lesson for playing the music of iconic country songwriter/performer-Johnny Cash. Luther Perkins, though, deserves the mention as the developer and driving force behind this sound-Great as he was at other aspects, Johnny’s playing was beginner level.

[@countryguitaronline]

Very true, thank you!

These are old strings,aren’t they?it sounds pretty good .

[@countryguitaronline]

Thanks, they’re pretty new but I’m trying out a new brand of strings... Straight Up Strings.. playing on the phosphor bronze mediums. I really like the tone also.

[@tristannolan85]

@@countryguitaronline I was gonna say they're too bright to be old lol

[@JorisArink]

Can you recommend any other strings that you often use?

[@nickh123]

What pick gauge do you use?

[@countryguitaronline]

Lately I’ve been using Woodtone (black) large triangle picks and surprisingly I’ve been mostly drawn to their thinner gauges - .71mm and .96mm here’s a link if you’re interested woodtonestrings.com/collections/all-products?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&filter.p.product_type=Guitar+Picks&sort_by=manual

Cash would roll over in his grave if he saw that B hammer-on while in the E shape. You're right not even close.
