Inspired by Sirsucksalot and Adam's cross roads take, I decided that I should put my feet to use to add to my playing. So I made a few takes of James Cotton tour de force...

It was a mother on my lungs, and it at one point I added an extra chorus because I forgot what was next (around the jingle bells part). My stamina gets drained and it shows in the latter part of the song. The video was all one take, and it's obvious I make mistakes, I faded out some of them to make it just a tad better.

Cotton was crazy, those 2 draw tongue block bends are insane.

Nice! I gotta ask, what is that drum set? That thing looks like a vintage Ludwig!

Thanks so much guys.

And Zach you are correct. 1967 Silver Sparkle Super 4 piece, although the floor and rack are not in it here. Only drum set I'd ever need.

I've seen you play on youtube, you could use a nice vintage set like this.

I don't know of any tabs, Adam explains this in one of his videos (I made it as a response to it so easy to get to). That helped me alot

lol sorin

Sandy88 I have no tabs, like I said the best thing you'll get is Adam explaining it. The rest I worked out myself. If I can do it, you can do it. And I can't tab it out myself because it would be time consuming and I can't do it very well anyway.

The only thing else I can tell you is tongue block, alot of what Cotton is doing involves constantly tongue slapping.
