While his version …
While his version does sound good, it is not the way it was played originally. To be fair, however, Johnny Cash wasn’t a very good guitar player. That’s good for us because his songs are easier to play. If you are looking to learn Luther’s (Johnny Cash’s back up guitar) part, I recommend Lerb21.
To learn JC’s part, all you have to do (for any song really) is get the strumming down, and use these 3 chords: E, A, B7
Pre 70′s, these were the favored chords used (and the occasional C and G)
