am i know this is off topic but since you play the guitar i want to ask you what kind of guitar should i use
am 13 and am just a beginner and i've been searching online like crazy to find out which one is more appropriate for my age i was going to buy one just like yours but am not sure if it's the right size please help
What ever guitar you can get your hands on. No kiddin', play what you got, when you got it, and keep playin' ; practice, practice and practice some more..and then,after your sure you're gonna stick with it, maybe get a nice Martin,and practice some more, but what ever you end up with, play the heck out of it!!
"Guitar Rag" by Travis and by Weaver are 2 different tunes.
The one played here was written by Weaver. It was later adopted by the electric lap steel guitar players, and they called it the "Steel Guitar Rag". It was also adopted by John Fahey, who played it on a Weissenborn and called it "Steel Guitar Rag" too.
Your version is a nice one, pretty rhythmic and all. I player it lap style like Fahey... more fun :)
Wow Dave!!! It is a delicious melody!! It is wonderful............... you are a master!! and you shine very well with your guitar, you are perfect!! A hug and many congratulations. Juan
Thanks for your kind comment - You are right - most folks would call it the "Steel Guitar Rag" - I have a recording released in 1927 by Sylvester Weaver called "Guitar Rag" which I pretty closely follow on the first time through on my video - the second time thru is somewhere in between.
heck yes! I loved it!

I have the recording of StLouis Blues by Sylvester Weaver - that what you mean? I could probably copy it to an MP3 file if you want it.

Very nice. I like the laid back feeling of it. But I don't think it's Merle Travis' Guitar Rag.

Way to go. Isn't it called Steel Guitar Rag though?
