excellent! extremely good job with the limited resources lol 5 star :-)....now ide love to hear an arrangement for praps ukele, mandolin and guitar? haha quality

[BeatboxingTrev]

that was cool

keep on rockin

[HAMADATakasi]

Very nice!

There were some guitar arrangements in the past 3 decades, but all of them are very difficult to play even the guitar has 6 strings.

You are amazing, and I hope you will release CD of ukulele ragtime solo.

[chitchatt2006]

Really is brilliant. Puts a smile on my face in a big way. I kept thinking, I bet you'd do a fantastic job on Fats Waller's Smashing Thirds and Handful of Keys. I can almost hear it now seeing what a great job you did on Joplin. Thanks for this very enjoyable rendition! :D

[jcrowcroft]

Awesome! Great arrangement. Sounds cool on the uke.

[oldsouthafrica]

Rubbish, needs to be played on the piano, not some gypsy thing.

[heftone]

Funny, most all of the ragtime recordings I've heard from the time when ragtime was first popular were of banjo players and military bands, not piano players. Pianos didn't record well on those old acoustic records. The standard ukulele tuning I use is very close to the tuning the ragtime 5-string banjoists used.

[ootahee]

Yeah, why don't you show us how it's done before opening your piehole up.

[Kasquar]

Thanks for greatst gir pickin'...his first rag...thank u

[0104vtvs]

it's incredible what polyphone sound and deep musicality you achieve with only four strings

[heftone]

Thanks. I played several instruments including sax and 5-string banjo before I played ukulele. It seems the uke gives more satisfaction per ounce.

[sojogunn]

BRILLIANT! All of them!...nice variety of tunes. How did you pick this up? Classically trained? X guitar player?

Much enjoyment!

I just started uke...love the little critters.

Thanks, Sojogunn

[glus]

Bravo, maestro!!!!!

[kirbycairo]

Hey heftone, Nice job again.

What tuning are you using??

[heftone]

Thanks. I'm tuned G-C-E-A with a high G, as usual.

[UkeeDreamer]

Really great show, super finger pickin' and with a tune that convers the fret board. Is that a Martin K5? or?

[heftone]

Thanks. The ukulele a 2006 Martin 5K. It's pretty clear and even anywhere on the fretboard.

[UkeeDreamer]

Martin stings or Aquilas? Or? They (you) sound great. I have a Martin 5K --- funny I can't play like you!!!

[heftone]

I don't know what strings are on it now. Someone gave me some experimental ones to test. They're a little milky-looking and a bit stiff. They sound fine and are very well-behaved.

I usually keep Worths on this uke. I like Aquillas, but they sound brash to me on this uke.

[norbu56]

Brian, you're a real Uke-Wizard, very very nice performance, I know this song and is transposed on Uke very well

Five star for me.

[heinbanjo12]

Verry Verry good

[wininboy]

What you can do with such a silly little instrument!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Play It.

[mariabelzona]

Still, it looks silly!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

And A 4 String Guitar Doesn't?

[ukulelezaza]

Amazing once again.

Nice uke, and I also like the Wassily chair in the background! (I have one too)
