The guitar solo in ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ is one of those parts every guitarist wants to play — and it’s more beginner-friendly than it sounds. In this lesson it’s broken down lick by lick, with the rhythm counted out in simple doubled measures so you always know where you are.
You’ll learn the opening phrase first, then see how the rest of the solo is just small variations on it, moving through the E, A, and B7 of a classic blues. Easier options are offered at every step, so you can capture the feel even if you don’t nail every single note.
