    Thank you for this lesson. I had been looking for a traditional song with root and 5th bass note strumming. You even included some classic bass note walks. Wonderful lesson and now I feel like I can play most traditional country songs with this style of strumming.

    Is Janis’ version in the same key? I’d love to play along with her recording.

      She’s in G going to A. Play the lesson as it is but without the capo.

        Thank you Jerry. It’ll be a lot of fun playing with Kris’ track and also Janis. The extra practice with this style of country strumming will be very helpful. It’s good ear training too.

    Thank you so much for Me and Bobby McGee and for the other very accurate lessons. I just wondered if its at all possible to include a finger picking version. Kristofferson’s playing at the Ise of Wright has him finger picking . His playing at other shows including the Obama White House with other performers has him finger picking as well although he does strum at some. It just makes the song more intimate, poetic, fuller and universal and not so much country alone. I was hoping, expecting the finger picking lesson. I saw him perform the song (YouTube) in a hotel room and threw in the f word that really revealed a defiance to convention and he finger picked the song. Took the song to a different level when he did that. Thank you Jerry
