A Twangified Rendition of "Me and Bobby McGee"

Lesson description: This twangified rendition pulls from both the original Kris Kristofferson version as well as the legendary Janis Joplin recording.

The first half of the verse is an exercise in restrained Carter-style playing. Then, it switches up an octave to do some droney/jangly/open-stringy stuff. For the chorus, it gets appropriately bendy/Nashville-y.

Lots of cool techniques to work on here!
