Ragtime Nightingale (guitar arr. by Takashi Hamada)

[VampsAreLovee]

Wow, this is amazing :D Good job !!

I play a different version which is equally nice. I'm a big fan of Lamb rags also. Top Liner is a nice one as is American Beauty. I play a version of American Beauty in drop D that is very nice.

have you ever heard the acoustic ragtime nightingale version on the movie soundtrack crumb? that was my favorite until I heard your version... much respect. ...

can i ask a favour? ... I cant read music, and I've searched the internet for days trying to find a guitar tab on this song. ... Would it be possible for you to tab me just a little bit of the begining? I think if i got the first couple bars i could just watch you and figure the rest out.. If not i understand if your tooo busy.

I haven't yet heard the soundtrack, but Craig-san is one of my favorite guitarist.

I will send you a message.

[Oxycodone48]

[HAMADATakasi]

Thanks.

Very nice. Ethiopian Rag is my favorite Joseph Lamb rag.

[HAMADATakasi]

Thank you!

I like Ethiopia too, and I will arrange it for guitar in the near future.

[HAMADATakasi]

Thank you.

I love rags of Joseph Lamb.

this is great stuff

[janetjlarson]

Great! HOW do you keep finger strength to

play like this a long, difficult music? Is

there a practise tip you can share?  THANK YOU~!

[HAMADATakasi]

Thank you for your comment.

I play the guitar on the street over 5 hours every day (without rainy day), so I'm not exhausted with playing for a few minutes.

I tend to use several barre chords in my original open tuning (EbAbCFCEb), but I don't keep too much force to stop the string at many cases, and often loosen as muting the notes.

I think muting is effective as well as rhythm cutting and also keeping stamina of one's finger.
