Johnny Cash — Folsom Prison Blues (ver 7) bass tabs



(submitted by FireRocket)
I have tried all the other versions and cannot get it to sound right, there seems to be a big difference from the live and studio version. This is for the studio version and Ive inadvertently funk'd it up a little....

Not sure if right but sounded cool to me haha

3 riffs and a few more notes than some other versions seem to have

About Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), born J. R. Cash, was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. Late in his career, Cash covered songs by several rock artists, among them the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails and the synthpop band Depeche Mode.
