    Best lesson of this song I've found on UA-cam and great for beginners ... in my opinion. Every beginner needs a song they can play while driving everyone else crazy. I really think this is a good one if you take it by sections as given and go slow memorizing. Everyone wants to run before they can walk as a beginner, don't. walk it, learn t. May Johnny be at peace ... and making music.

    Someone earlier pointed out the irony of an Italian who lives in England teaching Americans how to play this song. Not to be repetitious, but I had to learn this for my band. I was not a fan of this song, but your lesson really made this much easier for me. I appreciate your taking the time to share this video. Thank you.

    EXCELLENT!!!! THIS is how I'd want to play it and how I'd want to sound like when I played it! Playing close to the bridge is so cool.

    Best lesson of the Luther Perkins version on YT. Very difficult to replicate his or Bob Wooton's rail drive live though.
    Both of these guys were instrumental to the Cash sound. Great job man, I learned something from your lesson - thanks.

    • @n.rcashofficial
      @n.rcashofficial Рік тому

      I've noticed Bob Wootton's a little easier, since it's more simple than what Luther had.

  • @Bobplawyer
    @Bobplawyer 11 років тому +1

    I have enjoyed dozens of very fine lessons on You Tube by some very good instructors; but, you are far and away the very best instructor. Super job. Very visual. Nice easy pace to the lesson. Just overall a superb job. You are the best!

    Dario is great at how he teaches BUT Marty Stuart ROCKS when watching him play this "live". I was very fortunate to be in a band that opened two shows for Marty on July 17, 2008 in Hiawassee, Georgia, and it truly was a dream come true! Marty LOVES playing live and you can really tell that it shows on his face and the Fabulous Superlatives faces as well!

    It doesn't matter. He speaks "Music" thanks Dario for the Great Lesson. It was easy to understand how to play the song the way you broke it into its different parts. I'm looking forward to more of your video lessons.

    @markjensen4489 11 років тому +1

    I was just looking for something on how to play the guitar solo and found this video. It was very useful and now I have the basis for the whole song, not just the solo. I like the way he carefully laid out each phrase. I'm a bit unsure of the flourish at the end but I should be able to figure it out.

    @ddop32 12 років тому +1

    you could just use standard tuning and play E, A, B7 and use what I call the Rockabilly shuffle which is picking the low E before the second down stroke and then the A string. Just strum down, down, up with the first down stroke being the picking of which string you are on in relation to the lyrics
