Sloppy Drunk > Solo Breakdown, First Chorus

We're re-issuing one of Jerry's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Jerry:

Here's a breakdown of what I play for the first chorus of the solo on Sloppy Drunk. This is a John Lee Williamson song and I use some elements of his playing here. It behooves you to closely study him. His style is the foundation of blues harmonica. I could have replicated his version but just used elements of his playing in our adaptation.
