In this video I'll show a tutorial on how to play "Ring of Fire", the classic made famous by Johnny Cash. I'll teach you how to do a complete solo acoustic version of the song, which isn't quite how Cash played it given he typically had his band with him. I'll show you the chords, strumming pattern needed, and also explain how to mimic the sound of the mariachi horns on your guitar. Enjoy!

Timestamps:
- 0:00 Playthrough & overview
- 2:04 Chords and strumming basics
- 6:25 Mariachi lead riff w/ tab

This, my friends, is a definition of good guitar lesson. This guy doesn't talk too much, give all the details necessary, offer the easier and the harder ways of playing. Thank you for a good lesson

[verdeglass]

A really nice and simple way to play a great song. I am into my 70's just learning guitar and this kind of help is really great. Thanks.

Thank you for this. My little brother passed in December and he had a lot of Johnny Cash on his playlist. I inheranted his guitar and can't set it down, so I found myself here. Thanks again.

The more I watch David's tutorials, the more I respect his style. Always very clear and concise and seems to suit my playing level. Thanks, David.

[missbknodel]

I almost passed this one up. Now. It's a favorite, reminding of my pops and our adventures in the deserts of TX and NM. Thank you for this precious gift. You really are a teacher in every sense.

I've been trying to learn guitar now for a month, I have seen a lot and lot of tutorials, this is by far the most comprehensive. thank you very much. I'll have to show off to my kids now.

His lesson is likely the best lessons out here. On point, does not waste time, and slows down exactly where you might get confused . He draws you in on how simple it can be and naturally adds the next complexity. If you ever decide to post videos to teach, use this guy as a template

Hi all
This is Henri from UK. 69 years old retired bored and about to pick up the guitar. This guy is the best, simple easy but concise and I cant wait to get started.

For a beginner, this is fantastic! I have been playing everyday for 2 months learning my chords but the helped me learn the song in about a day! Thank you!

[edenpuppyland]

This is what you call and easy, fast learning, FREE lesson that actually helps. Just got my guitar out after years of not playing, starting off with the basics again and been looking for something easy to play all day!

[gamiel]

David, this is the first time watching you content but you seriously broke it down for me, the introduction to playing C and G a different way makes so much sense WAY easier for me to play! thank you so much!

[matthewl]
