Cascades Guitar Rag Scott Joplin by David Danze

[ddanze]

thanks, i guess! well the fingers are ok but i was not smooth with fretting when this one was recorded - maybe will re-do it so it'll look much easier (actually there's only one 'trick' part - the start of section 2 just a quick stretch)

@ddanze it was really good, i would like to see another one, maybe including the whole song too? I'm just curious to see what you can do with that 3rd section of the cascading baseline

[75egcg]

jeez, i thought you're fingers were going to fall off.  The only thing more complicated for your hands to do would be the finger breaker rag (or finger buster) by jelly roll morton. Which on the guitar, could probably actually break your fingers

Hi Dave.

Excellent shot, at a very difficult piece to play.

Regards,

Paul

[ddanze]

Thanks, not very difficult compared to Junk Man or ragtime NIghtmare done by Johnson Hogg

[ddanze]

Thanks, but it was arranged by John Knowles who apparantly no longer plays it.

His touch is phenomenal incase you haven't heard him!

[ddanze]

thankx MORENA007 - just for that I'll clean

up this rendition!

[frawgface]

your guitar farts, but sounds great!

put up some more rags. skip the beatles.

[ddanze]

It's a Gretsch from the early 1950's.

Gretsch made very few of these round-hole

flattops.

[janetjlarson]

real nice, what kind of guitar is that? an

old 000 Martin from the 40's?
