Here’s how to play the main riff from Johnny Cash’s version of the song “Hurt”.



Here is a cool riff from Tull that has quite a bit of technique that all guitarists need to know. The ribbon-like symbol in the first and second measure is known as “vibrato.” This is when you rapidly shake the string being played with your fret hand. There are also a few slides, which are performed by sliding your fret hand on the strings while playing at the same time.



Here’s a tough one for you. To play this like the original you’ll need a capo at the 7th fret (and a 12 string to boot). It’s fun to learn and rewarding if you can finally get it, but I ain’t gonna lie… its a tough one!
