Best "How to Learn: I've Been Everywhere" video on the net.

If you want to learn the words to this awesome song you can find them literally anywhere; maybe even on a Sunday Mornin' Sidewalk somewhere! And, unfortunately there are many people doing a bad (or at least poor) job trying to play this because they "can't keep time" and start off slow and speed up so fast that they have trouble keeping up with their strumming that it becomes a train wreck.

But here's a guy who does it right! And it is so refreshing to see it played at an even speed. What I enjoy is the runs and chords he uses and I will copy them to use them when I play it in my J Cash Lives Tribute Shows because it's just me; guitar, voice and amp. I need to play both the "Luther Perkins' part" and the strummin' part (pretty much) at the same time.

So thank you, thank you and thank you for putting out such a great video for those who want to play it right!

Here's the video:



Here's why you don't have to play it at break neck speed as the originator(Hank Snow) of the song does it here. Note that it keeps a steady beat (it doesn't speed up). Also, in this version he starts in one key and modulates several times.



It's good but I love Johnny's version.
