I have decided that instead of doing Hey Porter on the album that i'm going to do Ring Of Fire. The reason i've decided to do this is because i've been playing Ring Of Fire at some open mics round Cambridge recently and it's been well recieved.
I've also decided that instead of playing the songs just like Johnny Cash played them i'm gonna try and put my own unique spin on them. For example instead of strumming the chords in Ring Of Fire I use a technique called fingerpicking which is where you pick the individual notes of the chord to make the song have a softer, quieter touch. This technique is used a lot in Folk music. I've also found a way of using this technique in (Ghost) Riders In The Sky.
