Can anyone help me with the Folsom Prison solo?
The most common is the one where the the 2nd string is played 8h9 and then to the 1st string 7-10-7-10-7. That just doesn't sound right to me. Any help?

Try playing 7-9-7-10-7, that's how that lick goes. ;)

nope. you're both off.
in the key of F, where the original is played.
the lick goes:

2nd string 9-10(hammer on) first string 8 11 8 11 8

repeat 9 10
8 11 8 11

if you don't believe me click on the blue line below.
click on music and scroll to 'prison blues'.

try my way. I think you will like it and find it true.

ps: on my recording I purposely did not hammer on in the lick.
