- In this lesson I take a detailed look at how to play the classic Johnny Cash track. Guitar on this song was played by the great Luther Perkins and I give you a note-for-note run through of his introduction, then talk you through the chords for the rest of the song. Full and accurate music/tab can be found here as well as more info on the song: www.anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk/...

Luther Perkins 🎸
Obviously, definitely one of the most influential guitarists in recorded music history. Everytime a Johnny Cash record is sold, or JCash music is
downloaded, a LARGE portion of the credit goes to Luther Perkins.
I could sit and listen to you play all day and I have learned more from your videos than I have from anything over the years. Keep playing Adrian.
Man ... I can't believe that you haven't broke 100,000 subscribers yet . You are definitely one of the best teachers on you tube . Most excellent ... Thank you for doing this . It definitely helps , and you make everything seem like we can do this .
In an interview Carl Perkins said that in those early days at Sun they would sometimes speed the record up a little. This made everything sound a semitone or more higher.
Another wonderful lesson. Never understimate the elegance of simplicity. If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this played incorrectly (including by me) "in all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world" I'd be quite wealthy. Thank you again for your great demeanor & sharing with us. Great job!
Very quotable: Never underestimate the elegance of simplicity. :)
You are a gifted guitar player! I wanted to learn this song for my great grandfather who (by the way loves this particular song) passed on from cancer. Personally this song has special meaning to me. I played this on guitar for him at his funeral. Thanks for teaching this song.
Thanks very much - really glad to have helped you learn this song!
Great to see others keeping the old time greats alive
I was told in the Sun Studio that at the time drummers were not allowed to play at the Oprey so Johnny Cash threaded a a dollar bill thorough his strings .Great lessons by the way .
That same guitar with the same dollar bill in the strings is still there and you can go see it. So sweet.

A masterful summary of Perkins' style. Bravo!
Hello Adrian: I can't thank you enough for your detailed and precise instruction for this intro by Luther Perkins. Also, thanks for providing the music/tab to go along with it. Your fantastic instruction will certainly help me in playing this song at a much more authentic level. Thank you so very much.
Thanks Susan - good to know you've been enjoying my videos.
I appreciate your videos. You’re the first person that was able to convey rockabilly picking to me in way I could grasp and most importantly FEEL! Thanks man.
Great lesson and this is Nov. 2020. I'm 70, been playing 50 years and still learning stuff like this.
Thats awsome Rob!. Im 60 and just startin out!
Loved that bonus ending. Cash was awesome.
Thank you Adrian. You're such a joy to watch!
Great job! Love that song!
You sound great ! Luther Perkins guitar playing was a defining part of Johnny Cash's music. Keep up the good work.
Adrian, you are such a great player and tutor mate! Thanks for all of your videos.
Love the way you break done these songs. Helps a lot. Keep up the great work!
Cool Adrian good simple instruction keep up the good work thanks
"How about one big cheer for Luther Perkins?"

I'm thinking Carl.....
There's also the Psycho Dude!
Luther 🤓
He's right!!!!!!!!!
Luther was there!⛽
Yay!
The guy was fire !
Thanks for this great lesson. as usual,very clear and concise.
Great lesson Adrian - your patience is wonderful
I just reviewed this again (having finally acquired a nice 50's Tele that I'm comfortable with). Thanks so much. You have a very excellent demeanor proving that some 'can' both play & teach. Pretty neat stuff. Nice gentlemanly quality that reminds me a bit of Hank Marvin (not a quip on the glasses but the civility). Carry on sir & thanks again.
You are definitely my go to guy for a complete and total breakdown of the song behind the flourishes (and often the flourishes too). BTW - your tone is excellent on this one.
You are a great teacher,
thanks for the lessons!
Awesome! I was playing it A D A E A. I'm glad I watched this a B7 is in there to. Thank you and keep it up.
Will definitely be back! Amazing teaching .Might take me a beat 5o get it, goes somewhat fast, but hope to keep up eventually! Thanks 👍
Thank you for transcribing and sharing the music score.
So good Adrian. You are helping me so much. Thankyou
amazing lesson i loved it.
1/4 Million views and all well deserved great explanation and contextualisation.
I really love this channel. Thank you.
Another great song expertly explained so even drummers like myself can understand & play it! Thanks Adrian :)
+Phil Mckee Haha, thanks Phil, glad you enjoyed it.
Vey nice buddy. I'm older 61. I remember al those songs. Thanks 👍🙌💯🎸
Thanks for the great lesson!
HI ADRIAN.THE WAY U TEACH GUITAR IS AWESOME.
Great work Adrian, I like this channel and great instruction
My kind of music, thank you for teaching me how to play this better!
Here's to eclecticism! Just great Adrian! Johnny, Waylon & Willy are about as country as this old rocker gets but they are truly giants. John Prine & Dolly do spring to mind as well now that I give it some thought. Variety is truly the spice!
Rock on,
Dave in the Adirondacks
Excellent, thanks for doing these.
Thank you. Great lesson!
This is one of my favorite songs by the Man in Black, Luther Perkins had a unique way of playing which made him great. I am an intermediate player and hopefully i can add this to my arsenal. Great Job.
Johnny Cash - I walk the line - Hank Williams - Your cheating heart ) Two top classics of all time ! nuff said !
Excellent work, thanks
Your a great teacher Thank you 😊
I love watching your videos. you're the only one that teaches very well n very informative. the other guys they play too much nonsense n don't teach you anything...
Great lesson 👍
Thanks Adrian. Nice job.
Your lessons are great
Great Job!!
Excellent, thank you
Adrian, you are absolutely FABULOUS!! I'm trying to find the lesson on creating the train sound of Johnny Cash. You're unmatched, please keep teaching.
Thanks Rick! Pleased you're enjoying the videos.
Great lesson!
great lesson I like yrs lessons very helpfulnIm a seasoned player,, I like David Bowie songs how about Panic in Detriot I live near Detriot Im learning Country music its so fun to play
great video the way you teach it very good
Great job!!
Hello Adrian, I am new to your channel, "great job and effort teaching this song" . 👍👍
any big johnny cash fan knows the legendary guitar player that was luther perkins
wealth of knowledge..thanks
Hi Adrian, another master class , you helped me understand the song so much.
This song is so profound it sounds simple, thats genius.
p.s.
i suspect Johnny may have been influenced by the key changes in the great Bob Wills song"Faded Love" released in 1950 , this period would have been seminal to Johnny. The fiddle and vocal key changes are very similar in feel and style to "I Walk the Line".
thanks
Allan
You marvelous bastard you ❤
Thanks as always for this. Much obliged and mad respect,
Nico
Thank you Adrian. Nice Tele!
great teacher, thank you
really good explanation thanks
Very good,,,thanks
thank you for a clear tutorial
great job. thanks.
Thank you, Greatings from Germany 👍
merci Adrian !!!!
What a great lesson! I subscribe to lots and lots of RUclips teachers but hadn't come upon your instruction before, so superbly done. As an "advanced" beginner the theory makes perfect sense and the country rhythm will be fun to play and just what I need to progress in my ability. Quick question, is the Luther Perkins picking style at all derived from Mother Carter and the Carter Family? Thanks so much.
good job mate.
Love the tele and your tiny amp sound. Gets down to the fun bare essentials.
Your Awesome Buddy can't get enough of these lessons!! Thank You 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank-you! Glad you're digging my lessons.

nicely explained
thanks
ahhh you're sooo coool,thanks a Lot!!!
great vidio lesson on j cash .with your brilliant lesson i hope you will become a wealthy guitar teacher one day thanks
thanks for all the lessons Adrian. I had this idea that you might play Purple Rain really well. Any chance you might like to cover it?
Hi Adrian do you have the tabs for this. Another great well explained video thanks tony
....very interesting....very detailed.....
Nice cut :)
GREAT
I was trying to see your pick up switch position but couldn't quite see which pickups you were using. Maybe the middle position? And tone knob position? Great job and great sound
Revisiting this lesson again. (I was thinking to tell my wife that this is why I need a telecaster.) The other comments are right; your lessons are unsurpassed.
Ever get that tele? Lmao
Indeed I did!
excellent ...
Thank you
Adrien, you're The Man In Black!
Lovely sound coming from that Fender amp. Which model is it please ?
Good guitar ..my new found busker friend Woody Cowboy 🤠 played this song at Union Station , Toronto
What about amp and settings? I have Fender Mustang III and a Tele similar to yours but left handed
Adrian, At the end where you show how to play Johnny Cash's part you say he wanted to emulate brushes on drums. Not so. Johnny loved trains and he was emulating an American steam locomotive.
It would be helpful to discuss the Mother Maybell Cater "Boom Chicka) lick, that Luther and Johnny adapted from the Original Carter Family. (Mother Maybell was June Carter's mother.) Peace.
what kind of amp do you have ? pickups etc
excellent as usual Adrian, it makes me feel like going back home from work and start learning it! Nice Tele - is it a Baja?
+Fabio Punk Thanks Fabio. Tele is a US 52 reissue. My old faithful - had it about 20 years.
Cool.
Thank you, superb lesson.
Being as Mr Perkins didn't use a capo on electric guitars,
could the pitch be related to play back speed or is that daft?
Thank-you. Not daft at all. Think that's a definite possibility. So many older recordings aren't at concert pitch. Could be due to tape machines running fast or slow, either accidentally or for creative reasons. And since we're talking about the days before electronic guitar tuners, maybe they just tuned up by ear and went a bit sharp.
Good
Hi Adrian I was trying to see what fender Amp you are using and where your sound from your mike is going? So your equipment is important to me it sounds great!
It's an old - tube - Super Champ. Recorded into the computer through some fancy preamps.
Real good lesson man. I was gonna say turn that treble and reverb up so that thing will snap and pop a little. But on second thought I think the original recording Luther did it with a warm dark tone like your using. So you are historically correct!! Most all the other songs ( and this one too if ya want) you can crank the treble and reverb and make it snap and pop using palm mutes.
Sweet Looking Telecaster brother. I just bought a new Gibson Les Paul with P90 Single coins and I'm rather disappointed. I was expecting the single coil P90 to have more treble and bite but they are really thick and dark sounding. I think I made a big mistake by not buying a Telecaster. We live and we learn right LOL
Yes, I assumed this one would be more of a twangy, treble-y sound but the original recording is actually pretty warm sounding. P90s are great but for the Luther/Carl Perkins kind of sound single coils are probably the best way to go. You can never have to many guitars, so why not get a Tele as well!?
P90s are sing coil pickups and they don't even come close to the sound I thought i could get from them. They are clear and bright on the high strings but the lower strings are very dark and muddy. Especially the D string. I thought i would get a nice bright tone on all 6 strings just having a fatter tone to it opposed to Fenders thin sound.
I agree Adrian you are Great 21 people no nothing about good Guitar playing! Thanx Bud for you time! William e.
Perhaps the tape speed on the recording bent the pitch up a bit closer to F?
Soo-ee!👍🤠
