Rod Covering Hurt, Johnny Cash Version

Been awhile folk! I need to get this song ready again to play at my assisted living venues. This video is with the Zach Meyers PRS as my Taylor is my normal gigging partner. Did some different mic set up from my other recordings (condenser instead of dynamic). Guitar is through a Spark 40 on a Glassy preset.The Beat Buddy is through a Spark Mini and the condenser mic in frame is taking it all in. OBS is the platform making it come together and its all dry so any mix feedback would be great.

This song is normally picked but my picking skills are a major work in progress so when I first learned this I put on a finger picking pattern I use a lot and just broke it up on the places that are only 2 beats. Seemed to work to my ears how about yours?

All comments are welcome. I need to go look at some of your videos out there!! Still play almost everyday and perform just about every week. Owe it all to this place going on 5 years this December! Later…Rod

Well played and sung! A really good interpretation of a very sad song. On Cash’s version the pick is: 1 + 2 (+), the and of the second beat is not played: your picking is very close. Look forward to your next performance.
