In this week's lesson I'll teach you how to play Personal Jesus as covered by Johnny Cash. Originally recorded by Depeche Mode in 1989, Cash's version of this song is an amazing reinterpretation that fits perfectly within his country & blues guitar style. The song is characterized by a bassline riff, played with the thickest 3 strings on the guitar, used throughout. I'll walk you through the process of learning & mastering this riff, in addition to teaching you the strumming & basslines needed in the verse, chorus, and bridge sections of the song. This one is a blast to play, I hope you enjoy!
