    This site is great. I’ve had my first guitar less than a week and I’m already stumming Knocking on Heavans Door (badly !!)

    I’m teaching myself so I plan to work through these songs.

    Keep it up and many thanks.

    Just to let you know, johnny cash wrote hurt , not nine inch nails. :/

  5. rserpe on Tue, 4th Nov 2008 8:13 pm 

    Actually It was written by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. It was on their Downward Spiral Album then in 2002 Cash covered the song.

  6. Tom Fontana on Mon, 4th May 2009 1:53 pm 

    Yep, it was definitely Trent Reznor, not Johnny Cash, even though I think the Cash version is much better. The wikipedia page on the song even has what Reznor had to say about the Cash version, its very much worth reading.

    This website is truly amazing! It helps enhance a beginners experience on the guitar and can provide motivation at the same time. Something that could be added is how to change guitar strings, and tune your guitar properly. Other then that I look forward to continue to using this site! (after I get my guitar fixed…)

  20. rserpe on Wed, 25th Nov 2009 3:30 pm

  23. Rob Gigs on Fri, 25th Dec 2009 9:37 pm 

    As a matter of fact, Nine Inch Nails did write the song,
    and while Johnny Cash was dying, he thought the lyrics fit his life perfectly, so he made the song his, but the original is by Nine Inch Nails. Search it up :)

  24. Kelly on Thu, 7th Jan 2010 11:38 am

    I love to play guitar. When I buy guitar, I don’t know how to play songs. But with the help of your website I learn how to play guitar. Thank you for help me.

  39. Keri on Sat, 17th Jul 2010 8:20 am 

    I played guitar for about two years, then put it aside for a year or so, but then i decided to get back into it because my boyfriend suggested it to me. I’ve had my guitar for three/four weeks and i just couldn’t play to save my life, then i just so happened to come across your website and it has helped me so much! This site has made me motivated and inspired to play more, and i’m definitely going to come back soon to learn more songs! I’ve already learned Redemption Song, and my boyfriend loves Bob Marley, so he will be proud of me! Thank you so much!(:

  40. rserpe on Sat, 17th Jul 2010 3:54 pm 

    Hi Keri!

    Thanks for stopping by and for leaving such a wonderful comment! I really appreciate your visit. I am thrilled to hear that the website is helping you. The credit for the Redemption Song Lesson actually goes to Marty Schwartz. He is the person who created that video lesson. Well thanks again Keri and I wish you all the best with your guitar playing.

    - Ralph
