Level: 2
Tuning: Standard

By 1956 Johnny Cash had already had several hits, but that year's release of "I Walk the Line" on Sun Records went to #1 on the country charts and established him as a major star. One unusual feature of the record was the multiple key changes, which you'll find in this arrangement as well; Cash changed keys with every verse. There's Travis-style alternating thumb/bass throughout the tune, which is all played in first position (in the first few frets), and there are several chord-connecting bass runs thrown in.
