[freakingretard]

Something about this song just makes me want to go to the drug store, take out money from the ATM, and buy a new baseball bat.

[SanDiegoJefe]

@freakingretard I know EXACTLY what you mean. (not really)

[bevanmcg]

Have a listen to his advanced hot rags blues and fiddles tunes instructional CD s just the playing - I defy anyone on the planet to recreate that kind of playing or sound - just incredible - the way it swings and he aint hangin about : )

[boatbandvideo]

Don't forget this is Dave Laibman's arrangement, more or less. Credit where credit's due.

[Immaculate416]

Holy jesus this guy is good

[adsbegone]

The Beatles' "When I'm 64" and EarthBound's "Buy Something Will Ya/Humoresque Of A Little Dog" definitely got inspired by this.

At one time I could play this cleaner than Stefan - that happened exactly once, at a lesson, around the time this was recorded. Whew....Stefan is not only the most prolific ragtime guitarist ever, he is one of the sweetest people on the planet.

[gravysopper]

play the rag...

[jdgrahamo]

I watched him play this in the north of England when he was about this age. I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

[evsynator]

You look so young ,,, yet years later you still give us joy with your lessons ... thank you you old bugger ,,, from another old bugger ...

Dear Francis - I couldn't have put it any better!!! A right royal finger twister and ........he damn well talks through it too. Saw him back in the 70's in Manchester and still a fan. Happy plucking - keep at it!!

[SirFrancisBurton]

This f*cking rag is giving me finger-aches, but Stefan does it easy :/

Thanks for this awesome video!! Ive been trying to figure this one out for years. It's like a lesson from the man himself.

oh la la! ..ho cercato questo video per almeno un decennio e ora ...sono davvero felice di averlo trovato (l'ho suonato finora con un metronomo troppo basso, questa è la giusta velocità...) Fantastico Mr Grossman !

That guitar must be an original Gibson Advanced Jumbo from the 30s I presume. I have a Montana Gibson reissue of the same model. They are sweet, with the coolest are deco inlays ever. Great for any kind of traditional sound.

[fearfultom]

i am learning this -- its tough.
