Hey there Bill, well thanks for the vote of confidence....am ten years in and still learning the old acoustic
I guess I don't pick up the ol guitar often enough but it's real therapy when I do.it's real good therapy next to hill walking
Hope you're doing good in Carrollton, Georgia, and catch you soon perhaps-

Thanks guys for your heartfelt welcome....really nice comments
Makes a welcome change to be in touch with someone like yourselves on the other side of the pond.
Johnny sure has a varied collection of songs for sure as you said Doug, so there is no doubt a selection that anyone can get their heads around. Have never been a fan of the capo to be honest as I found it strangely weird getting used to starting on a different fret, so generally stick to the normal fret positions with not too many chord changes
I really love some of John's later work from "American Recordings" and this link gives a sample of some superb songs. Includes an interesting chat too with Jools Holland (1994) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22S0t2cZS8E

Topic: Man In Black (6 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Good afternoon everyone
Have been spending some time recently getting into Johnny Cash's brilliant "Man In Black" Here he is
performing to students on campus 1971 (watch this youtube ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t51MHUENlAQ
There are many variations Chord wise. The one on Chordie Artists/Cash Johnny/16 biggest hits/ is an interesting key. However I found that to my own taste I could play this one transposing it to the G chord by -5 semitones
It's low enough and pretty straightforward chords without using a capo Interested to know if any other guitar players.....I'm the occasional pick it up player of 10 years experence ......have found this a good variation......I guess it's each one to his taste yeah.. God bless Johnny Cash, in our hearts forever
