      +TenThumbs Productions well it's usually played in E position with a capo on first fret. I've seen footage of Cash doing it with and without a capo, sometimes in E and sometimes in F. The solo however has to be done in E position because it utilizes open strings.

Those 1970s Japanese acoustics are really well made. You don't see many of them so I was thrilled to see that one.

    I use a different strum pattern on this song (dotted eight and sixteenth) which fits a lot of country and Johnny Cash stuff. Its a lot easier to do as well and gives a great train sound. But I learned that intro you demonstrated and its great. Took about ten minutes to get it all flowing and I've an audition in a couple of weeks so just might do Folsom for it.
