Johnny Cash Strumming

Learn this super common country style strumming pattern and master many songs in this distinctive style.

This is very fast! The tricky part usually comes when you do this in real songs with chord changes, so don’t skip trying out ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ by The Man in Black himself - Johnny Cash.

Work up to a tempo of 160bpm, hit 'Loop', and jam along! 

On mobile, double tap TAB to loop and click the 'cog' icon to set bpm.

A slower song example of this pattern is very clearly heard in ‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’ by Nancy Sinatra!
