I am a 22 years old guy from Hungary. Here the country music or Johnny Cash not popular at all but I am absolutely in love in this type of music since I was a child, so I also want to learn how to play these songs. I am going to buy my first guitar and my first song definitely will be the Folsom Prison Blues. In advance thank you so much the tutorial. :)

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Great! Happy to help. Enjoy Johnny Cash and all the other greats on that new guitar!

i'm just learning guitar at 54 years old and am thoroughly enjoying your videos.. they are super helpful and very encouraging when things aren't going so well

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Great to hear!

[@milestoneroadsongs]

Great video. I had the wonderful opportunity to see him live in concert in 1981 at the state fair. Amazing concert with June. It’s funny you mention that he made it sound like a train. When he would do those train sounds in concert it sounded like you were on that train. Thank you for posting

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Love hearing about your experience. Once in a lifetime.

[@TonyInspiresPeople]

I'm 56 years old and a long time beginner. I intend to stick with it this time. Thank you for saying how many bars. Other KZbin instructors leave that out. Thanks for your time and video.

@@Relaxandlearnguitar thank you. If I haven’t said so already, you are the best online guitar teacher out there hands down. There are many many online teachers, with thousands of subscribers, and lots of content. But none have the personal touch that you do.

Nice

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks so much. Glad you liked it

[@user-zt4yu4fx9z]

even with capo. 1st fret?

[@t4texastom587]

No offense, because you are obviously a great picker, and definitely better than I. But why the capo? Howdy 🤠 from Tom in 🇨🇱 Texas 🇨🇱

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

None taken. To play along with the live recording

[@stevefahnestalk8500]

Capos are often used to match a recording; many singers & groups use capos to avoid having to modify a riff when playing in another key, etc.

[@wealldieatthehandsoflovedones]

Cuz, I just did 29 days n county.and you do this. Lol😢

[@jeffjohnson3065]

Why no mention of Luther Perkins... that's where the sound came from

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Good point.
