A Part
The same chart you hear in the player above — as arranged in Jam Trainer.
Cotton-Eyed Joe is a traditional American fiddle and dance tune that dates back to before the Civil War, long a staple of square dances and old-time jams.
Played here in G, its bright, driving melody sits over just G and D — a great tune for practicing a simple, propulsive backup.
