@plecplec12 Yeah, I can see him tongue blocking now that you mention it. I'm trying to learn tongue-blocking on the chromatic harmonica, and it's wicked hard to do. But you get a much deeper, stronger sound when you tongue-block instead of just using the pucker technique. Somehow however, Toots Thielemans sounds great even though he doesn't tongue-block. Thanks for your post, plecplec12.
Was privileged to see these guys many times. Muddy Waters R I P......my favourite Blues singer of all times........James Cotton, King of the Cromatic Harp, Nobody Beats Cotton , nobody better.....
Wow, thanks so much for putting this up for us to see. What classic sound and done when the pups like Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger were cutting their teeth. I was lucky enough to see Cotton and his band three times from 1968-71. He rocked out whether it was the Fillmore or a small club.
Awesome....just feel it....so nice....great harp by James Cotton....Love all this old bluessongs......thanks Muddy for all great songs. He sure was a one of the greatest bluesmen...ever...
This music gets into your soul and it`s got you for life.

James Cotton has the most amazing vibrato, and he doesn't move the harp when he does it. Muddy's got his hairdo working on this one, too.
Fantastic.

Anyone know what key of harp Cotton is using? i know he likes the A but I dont think thats whats he is using.
samuraiathletic 2 years ago
@samuraiathletic
this sounds like it's in the key of G. so he must be playing a C harp. (i.e. cross harp)
