    I just listened to your cover of Get Rhythm and was impressed. Then I listened to this, and was like WOW! I love hearing the different styles of the Sun Era recordings. This one has more of a bass sound to it. I will be adding two more of your covers to my favorites playlist!! :) Kurt

    I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
    I keep my eyes wide open all the time
    I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
    Because you’re mine, I walk the line
    I find it very, very easy to be true
    I find myself alone when each day's through
    Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
    Because you're mine, I walk the line
    As sure as night is dark and day is light
    I keep you on my mind both day and night
    And happiness I've known proves that it's right
    Because you're mine, I walk the line
    You've got a way to keep me on your side
    You give me cause for love that I can't hide
    For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
    Because you're mine, I walk the line
    I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
    I keep my eyes wide open all the time
    I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
    Because you're mine, I walk the line
    Because you're mine, I walk the line
    Because you're mine, I walk the line

    This is great! It sounds like the live version from 1958 to me. I sounds to me like Lurther may have used a baritone guitar to play this in the studio. Thank you!

    do you have to have a vintage amp to get that sound, if not what kind of settings such as bass treble gain delay reverb so on and so forth do you set on it. I'm also glad to find another person who respects johnny cash and his band so much.

    • @CountryCoversOfficial
      @CountryCoversOfficial  7 лет назад +1

      That's a great question. I have a reissue 65 twin reverb. I do not remember amp settings specifically but I can tell you I have the bass up high and the treble high. I didn't have a lot of spring reverb, however I added A LOT of reverb with my editor

    • @theadambomb1108
      @theadambomb1108 7 лет назад

    • @CountryCoversOfficial
      @CountryCoversOfficial  7 лет назад +1

      You could probably get it close, a lot of the sound I create though comes from my editor. Keep that in mind

      @owenoj 4 года назад +2

      There's plenty of video's on youtube showing it, you can also watch and copy yourself. It's basically 2 - 4, and when walking down, just in reverse, so 4 - 2. Sometimes Luther played 3-2 when walking down from the D to an A.

      Buy a Telecaster and wire it like an Esquire. I think you can get a whole loaded control plate that you just have to solder to your pickup and output (and lose the neck pickup).

    • @CountryCoversOfficial
      @CountryCoversOfficial  7 лет назад +1

      Bryan Casarrubias I struggle a lot with timing. When I edit, I split each note of say the bass, drum, all those and move them to when they're in time with the electric guitar. To answer your question, try tapping your foot along with a metronome. I find it helps tremendously!

    Actually, that's wrong... you're hitting the wrong notes in this demo.. Luther is playing lower notes, you're hitting the high notes.. You start off ok, then you wander off the track a bit, and start playing some wrong notes.. Just listen to it, you'll see what I mean... I have been emulating and playing Johnny Cash since I was 5 years old when my dad was playing some Johnny Cash 78's he bought at a flea market after he fished an 1800's Edison Gramaphone out of the garbage and totally rebuilt it. I have also been told that nobody sounds as close to Johnny Cash than I, and it's probably due to two things, I have exactly the same range as Johnny, but also a bit higher, I am a Bass-Baritone with an octave in soprano, and like I said... I have been emulating Johnny and Luther since I was 5.. Timestamp - 32 you hit a high note when you were supposed to go low. Timestamp -36 you hit the wrong note. Timestamp -45 you hit another wrong note. I'm sure I don't need to keep going...
