      How about “I’ve Been Everywhere “? Or “One Piece At A Time?” Maybe “The Ultimate Country Song” by David Allen Coe (aka “You Didn’t Even Call Me By My Name”)😬

    I don't know why you said that sucked. You have a really good singing voice. You should have sung the whole song, I would have loved to hear that. I know fuck all about guitars and I have abandoned all hope of ever learning to play. It's way too complicated. But something about this video was just so endearing that I'm now toying with the idea of perhaps picking up a guitar again....damn you!

  • @TheRenaudSechan

    Erich, You are about the 6 th guitar teacher, and the first that makes sense to me.
    You see, I just bought my first guitar, but something that I have wanted to do for some time..? How do I get ALL of your lessons in one shot?
    I look forward to being with you as my teacher. I have a couple of physical issues though.
    I lost the very tip of my pointer finger in an accident,I am looking for some kind of a prosthetic finger to help me. I have discovered after some work that a thumb pick works for me,I am able to strume up and down well enough. Again Thank you fore your valuable time, Regards from Steven @ The Eagles Nest PS I live in BC Canada, the land of the legal weed

He was play the 1st part of the solo on his last night. This was really helpful because we learned part of the solo but not the rest. We have 2 guitars and once we master it we're going to play it for him.

    I have one question. Johnny Cash usually put the capo on the first fret to avoid the dreaded F chord..or as you refer the f'ing F chord. Haha. Anyways, I like the barre chord version, but was Johnnys original intention to use an E chord like he always did. He really hated the F chord it seems.
