Learn to Play "Personal Jesus" by Johnny Cash (Guitar Lesson)

[@shapolfab]

It was originally written by Martin Gore, main songwriter of band "Depeche Mode". Cash covered it but his rendition is pretty raw and really authentic, simply perfect! Thanks for the tutorial vid!

[@rydes68]

Nice, very clear lesson. John Frusciente from the chilli peppers played guitar on this American Recording as a favour to Rick Rubiin, johnny cash, the man.

[@Halerno]

So much fun and pain playing this as a beginner. After a week I can handle it every day a bit better. Many thanks, great song, great teacher.

[@WBlaX]

I've been a guitar player for years. As a teenager I just wasn't able to think that there was only one way to play a song and I still can't (I'm almost 30 now). What I'm trying to say here is that I like the way you explain things and the suggestions about finding other ways to do them. In this particular case I can't really think of any, you've made it as comfortable as it gets, but still... Like your way.

[@LoneRhino]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing this easy to learn lesson.

[@jakebreeze4945]

Steve... you are BOSS!!! thanks for the great lesson! best ive seen on here by far! thanks for makin me a better guitarist

[@KimcheeMisoRamen]

Superclear. Thank you for your detailed explanation!

[@kathuntly52]

I couldn't get on top of the chord movement but I found that when I pulled off on the 3rd fret I could drag my finger down the 5th and 4th string and it gave the same rhythm. Thanks for the lesson, it was great!

[@Daemonight]

THAT's the kind of lesson I like. Clear, well organised, methodic ... A tons of "thanks" from France ;)

[@pmzavala]

This is an amazing tutorial, man. Congrats! So happy to be able to play this classic song.

[@williamclarke2020]

Seven years late to the party. Great lesson and very easy to follow...my own Personal Jesus. Cheers!

[@gentlegiant6585]

Good lesson. Thanks.

[@fantomwaw]

Perfectly explained. Much better than on other YT clips. Thank you very much.

[@pallecla]

Really good and clear lesson

[@markday6406]

really cool demonstration. Thanks man!!

[@JRay6017]

you are a great teacher, and I appreciate the way you teach each part of the song structure separately, you are very comprehensive and not confusing, the only thing I would have liked is for you to play the song along with Johnny singing it, so we could also get the lyrics and see the timing of the changes, which is also very helpful to us self taught players, but I really appreciate the quality of your teaching, thanks for providing these awesome lessons!

[@Rfilaccio]

Thank you for your clear explanation.

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

My pleasure! Glad you liked the lesson. Thanks for commenting!

[@Rayman700]

really expains the whole song well, I had no problem following all the steps, great video

[@gar7reever754]

Thank you. I love DM...my first concert... i do find this a great version to learn as a novice .... the DM acoustic version is stellar but tuning ...different ...thank u 🙏🇨🇦🌬🎸

[@BradleyAnderson513]

Steve Stine - Found this on the Depeche Mode website regarding Cash's remake of this song: Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante is the one who played the variation of Martin Gore’s classic chords on Johnny Cash’s acoustic rendition of “Personal Jesus.” Frusciante talked about recording Martin’s song when he said, “Rick Rubin knew I was a fanatic of Depeche Mode. As I knew Martin Gore’s original concept for the songs by chance, it was pretty easy for me in the end to suggest to him a corresponding version on the acoustic guitar.” Unfortunately, because of the wonders of modern recording, Frusciante never crossed paths with his namesake as he explained, “I recorded it in the amount of time it takes to play the song, and I sent it to Rick, and Johnny sang along with a scratch vocal. I never met him.”

[@Pinguin44]

Great lesson! Thanks! But I believe Johnny plays an open b-string with the high e-note a lot of times. So deadning all high strings lacks this little somehow to high sound in the Cash-version.

[@andybowen1249]

Great lesson Steve.you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to strum like this

Great lesson Steve!

[@oldgringo1008]

tx great lesson, the guitarrists (2) that played with J Cash were Frusciante along with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell

[@apriltoronto5254]

Hi Steve! Thx for your video. It seems like you put a lot of effort in it. Though, the thingy you call "riff" is the GROOVE of the song and a crucial bit of the second half is missing here (compared to the original) thus lacking the feel that makes students want to go on. Did you do this to simplify the lesson so that beginners can have a start? Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@my1986fender]

Thanks for the video's. I hope you keep producing them. If I was close I would definitely sign up in your class.

i found it impossible to play ovations sitting down soooo cudos sir great lessons

[@raffaelecuomo2039]

Thank you you do it very good

[@keithgriffin761]

looks easy. I have work to do on my strumming rhythm

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

Hi Keith! Here are some tips. The strumming for the riff is the hardest part so once you get that the rest is very straight forward. The riff is played on strings 6, 5 and 4 and this is the strumming sequence: D - D then pull off - D - DU and UD to start over. When you play the chords G and D/F# the strumming is just D - DU - DU - DU. Remember to keep your arm moving to keep the rhythm flowing and the most important thing is for you to listen to the groove. Don't worry about hitting more than one string at a time and work with it to what's most comfortable for you. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes and thanks for your comment. Keep up the good work!

[@gadaemon]

is this a 4/4 tact? Where the voice always starts on the first strike of four?? i get complelty confused, i if try to sing it. Or ist a 5/4 tact?? because the last up up strokes sounds to me as a 5/4 tact.

[@FTyson-pv7rr]

vor 1 Sekunde 4/4 start singing on 1

[@EtaminGaming]

I find it easier to play the non bared version of a F chord, actually a Fmaj7, X 3 3 2 1 0, using the same shape for the F#, so X 4 4 3 2 0 followed by X 3 3 2 1 0
