Song 4 - "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash

Here is my entry for week 4.

I changed a few things just to make it a bit more interesting to play.

  • I bumped up the timing to 120 bpm.
  • I changed the intro and outro a bit.
  • At the end of verse 2 and 3, I added some Pentatonic Blues scale.

During the intro I came in 1/2 second late (by mistake), but synched up by the 2nd measure. This made it sound cool so I left it in. It reminded me of a Mexican car horn.
:laughing:

I found this one difficult to play. Not sure if it’s me, but it felt like the band sped up the tempo just a tiny bit during the solos, just enough to throw you off your rhythm. I wonder if it was from me speeding up the tempo of the backing track.
