This is indeed the original Struttin', from 1975. Jerry later composed another tune he called "No Name Yet Blues", which was recorded by Chet Atkins- and renamed Struttin'- on the 1977 LP "Me and My Guitar." (The version that John transcribed, and that many fingerpickers play.) Chet named both tunes, and simply forgot that he had already named Jerry's recording Struttin'.

@trikey52 I bought this on vinyl, and it's definitely "Struttin' " just like madgab5 has it posted. I love this tune so much, it's pretty much the main reason I bought the record.

Not Struttin but sure is cool, forgot about this old tune-Jerry was so far ahead of his time, few were playing like this back then

This aint the 'Struttin' I'm familiar with. I prefer the other version with less orchestration.

This is Struttn' ?? Nice tune but NOT what CA or TE play as JR's "Struttin'" Just checked; John Knowles agrees with Chet & Tommy.
So, what is THIS fine tune really called?

@Bumptiously Well, all I can conclude is that Jerry had two different songs called "Struttin'" As Buster B observed 'Jerry broke all the rules" … 8^)
