New lesson today, where I return to Johnny Cash's classic RING OF FIRE, and dive deep into the deceivingly simple rhythm, chord progression, and strumming patterns used in this song. This comes years after my original video lesson for this song, which is very popular -- but has lead to lots of viewer feedback on this exact topic. I'll break down the exact chord progression Cash's album version uses, in addition to showing you a simplified progression chart for the entire song (e.g. if you don't want to carve out time for the mariachi horn sections during the verse). Let's get into it! Timestamps for this new video: - 0:00 Overview - 2:45 Strumming the Intro: Simple Version - 4:23 Strumming the Intro: Full Version - 6:33 Strumming the Verse - 9:44 Strumming the Chorus - 10:45 The Weird Rhythm in Verse #2 ("I fell for you like a child...") Watch my original lesson for Ring of Fire, where I tackle the basics and show how to approximate the mariachi horn riff with a solo acoustic guitar (while scrumming, no less): playsongnotes.com/lessons/134 If you want to view more of my lessons, visit playsongnotes.com which is my personal collection of lessons, tabs, and notes -- all created with care by me (David Potsiadlo). 🎸 Search all my video lessons: playsongnotes.com 🔖 Browse my library of 200+ PDFs chord sheets: patreon.com/songnotes 🙏 Donate to my tip jar: paypal.me/songnotes
