Today we are going to learn how to play "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash in the chord melody/fingerstyle. This one is a ton of fun to play and fairly easy. We have done the regular singing version but I wanted to put Johnny Cash into the chord melody world and this song seems to be one of the easiest, but beyond that it also one of the most recognizable. Johnny Cash was one of the biggest names in the outlaw country music, they rebuked the country music that was being played at the time and did their own thing.
As always we will break down the song note for note, we will go through the song bar for bar, and we will teach you the whole thing. The song is two pieces. It is the verse and the chorus, we will teach you the first piece, the verse, after we will teach you how to play the chorus, and then we will finish it off with an epic play-along through the whole song. I hope you dig it!
