🎸 Elevate your guitar skills with exclusive guitar lessons & tips at JustinJohnsonGu... Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to master advanced techniques, I'll share with you everything I've learned in my guitar journey 🎸
I've been having so much fun with my new Martin SC-13E, that I've been ignoring my DX Johnny Cash model, so I figured I'd take a crack at arranging "Folsom Prison Blues" for the acoustic. I wanted to mimic that driving bass line the whole time, so that was the biggest challenge; but once I got my thumb hitting the root and five on the bass string, and getting a slap on the back beat... the rest started coming into focus. I also wanted to dial in a little bit of that rockabilly vibe, so I ran a direct signal from the Fishman MX pickup, and threw some subtle slap echo on it in the mix.

I love the legend of Johnny Cash. The lore around his career. He was blackballed from the industry, but eventually with time it only made him an even more creative, passionate artist. Shout out Rick Rubin for believing in his greatness!

@PANICBLADE 11 месяцев назад

Johnny Cash embraced humanity, including the darkest corners of it. He was the embodiment of a person who didn't pretend to be a polished, virtuous role model that never made mistakes or poor decisions. He was there for the people that society was trained to abandon. That's why he's the Man in Black. That's why he had his iconic performances at Folsom and San Quentin. Cash is a sobering reminder that nobody is worthy on their own because the vices that bind humanity also bind us together. It's just a coincidence that he also makes really fuckin cool music and happens to be one of the coolest fuckin guys of all time.

Thank you for showing this picking style so clearly...I was able to get the basics of this type of playing just by watching you and mimicking your deliberate fingering seems, like a lot of half bar chord slides and individual picking within wrapped around a constant bass line....pure gold here folks...remember you can slow down the video speed as well and this is just super fun. Not too mention you'll impress a lot of people (even if they play or not) by playing tunes like this.
