Learn the six essential Johnny Cash strumming patterns that shaped some of the most iconic country and folk songs ever written. In this lesson, I break down the exact motions, rhythms, bass-note hits, and treble-string patterns used in Daddy Sang Bass, Busted, I Walk the Line, Understand Your Man, Ring of Fire, and Folsom Prison Blues. Each pattern is beginner-friendly and instantly makes your strumming more expressive, energetic, and dynamic.
