[soupdragonfly]

This is an excellent version my friend...there are some very unfair comments below....i could bet my house they come from people who could not play a set of spoons nevermind a guitar...keep it up fantastic!

[danyluis]

@soupdragonfly Thank you very much.

[forbebe]

Really nice!! You have a great feel for it. Nicely paced and not rushed, as it should be. I used to play this and think I need to revisit it!!  Thanks for the reminder and posting! Love your timing variations. Cheers, BB

[danyluis]

@forbebe Thank you. I watched your version. Very nice! I liked the calmed pace and those nice touches you added. Regards.

Perfect.... good job!

[danyluis]

@watson4913 Thanks!

[twizdoon]

A KIWI? AWESOME...

[hochbob]

Get a tuner.

[danyluis]

Get a new pair of ears!

No, no. I'm just kidding. Thanks for the comment. You're the first to say it. Please, be a little indulgent, it's a $100 guitar.

@danyluis

Nice kidding Dany. Nobody needs that kind of comment.

You did a great job, nice tune to play.

I'll get the tabs, great song.

Greetings from Holland.

[balabanoba]

you sir, do NOT have an ear for music. at all.

[danyluis]

@balabanoba Thanks? Hmmm.  Yeah, thanks for watching. At least you added 1 to the view count.

[corndawgz88]

Fantastic! I don't know if it's the nylon strings or just your playing, but i enjoy your version more thany any other on YouTube.

[danyluis]

I hope it's, at least, a mix of both factors.

I am absolutely grateful for your comment.  Thank you very much. You made my day.

[z454]

Super

[danyluis]

Thanks!

[saudade2100]

Does anyone have the music and/or tab for this song? Or where to buy it? I bought Saslow's book Art of Ragtime Guitar back in the 1970's when it first came out, but it's long since gone.

You can find it at: acoustictruth (dot) com (slash) ragtime2 (dot) html

[jystevens]

one of my favorite versions. Im learning it also and trying to figure out your variations. love the sound of the nylon. what kind of guitar is it?

thanks

Jeff

[danyluis]

Hi, Jeff: Nice to know you like this version. I like the sound of nylon, too :) Julian Bream once said: "There's only one thing that's better than a nylon string: two nylon strings". The guitar I used to record this video is a Vicente Tatay Tomás, a Spanish guitar maker. It is a basic student guitar., though.

Regards,

Dany.

I've seen about 7 versions of Ragpickin' and yours is the cleanest. I play it as well with different fingering, but I'm going to use your vid as a template. Great stuff!

Do you do Bloozinay?

[danyluis]

Hi, htcstech. Thank you very much for you comment. I'm very pleased. My teacher felt really happy when he read it, too. Thanks for using it as a template.

Unfortunately, I do not play Bloozinay. Do you?

[danyluis]

@htcstech Hi: Thanks for your comment. No, I do not play Bloozinay; but if at anytime I do, I'll let you know!

[blunissan]

clear, smooth and what a catchy tune, nice picking.

[danyluis]

Thanks, blunissan. It's nice you liked it.

[danyluis]

@blunissan Thanks, blunissan.

[vonkoehlerberg]

Beautiful Playing! Please check out my paying of "Make Believe Stunt" and let me know what you think-Steve Koehler

[danyluis]

Thanks, my friend.

I can't see any videos on your profile.

[vonkoehlerberg]

Go to "Make Believe Stunt" where I am playing a 12 string.

[sellobic]

[danyluis]

Thanks, sellobic; that's quite an encouraging comment! You're most invited to watch the rest of my videos.

Regards,

Dany.

[zicobac]
