Antonio de Innocentis plays Maple Leaf Rag

[trulygan61]

Thank you all for your kind comments on my arrangement and performance! I tried to keep very close to Joplin's original score. Also I believe that a quite regular pulse is very suitable to this kind of music.

Cheers, Antonio De Innocentis.

from Jose'......Antonio De Innocentis just OWNS the classical guitar, that guy can play ANYTHING. My dear @bx500, I respect you and recognize that you have a right to an opinion, but to my ear, Antonio played Maple Leaf Rag about as well as it can be played. Scott Joplin sends his endorsement from on high.

superb

[RagtimePassion]

The perfect arrangement played by classical guitar! I stll can't believe how it can be done, even comparing my own played one... ;-) And thanks for uploading this historicl performance.

[BX500]

Outstanding playing, but you're too fast & mechanical. Slow down a bit, put a little more FEELING into it. Perhaps you need to simplify a bit, to make it more playable. You need to make it flow, & you're close, but not quite there.

@BX500 YOU MUST BE KIDDING THIS IS HOW JOPLIN WROTE IT AND I NEVER HEARD A GUITARIST PAY IT BETTER

This guy is an expert! He knows how to handle his instrument. And he is playing the melody with an impressing speed. Actually, he is playing it a bit too fast in my opinion - but impressing anyway.

I have trained on this melody for years (see my video), but I'm still not as good as the guy in this video.

Excellent!

This beautiful arrangement seems to need full of technics, but your playing is perfect and has grooving rhythm as well as piano.

[stopgomofo]

[vipers60]

[Yaset]

5 stars from malaysia!

[simonsen2143]

you are my favorite.

I have trained on maple leaf for years, but I am far away from your level.

[Mascalzone79]

E' il migliore, senza alcun dubbio.

[sandrews623]

Mechanically (fingering technique, etc.) well done. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because it is not my type of music. Well done though.
