Ragpickin' - Richard Saslow (ragtime guitar instrumental)

This is a rag written by Richard Saslow. Another pretty catchy tune!! I tried to jazz it up just a little in the second time around. I much prefer Saslow's rags to be easy going, as I think ragtime should be. Hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as I enjoyed playing it!

Oh by the way I love your playing too - such sweet sound !! - I have one more question though - its something Im struggling with a bit as a rag picker - I have used fake nails up till now but find I get a better sound without them - do you just use your bare finger tips (and a thumb pick) ?? thanks again and I appreciate any advice you could give : )

[forbebe]

@bevanmcg I do use my nails. I get gel polish on them to keep them from breaking. Stephen Bennett gets his silk wrapped. Tommy Emmanuel uses his finger tips and has built up calluses on his tips. And yes, of course a thumb pick. Hope this helps! Always glad to give advice!

@bevanmcg Thanks! I LOVE that guitar! She's the best I've ever played. It's coming through an AER Compact 60. Awesome little set!! Thanks for the comment! Happy New Year!  Cheers, BB

Wow that's a great sounding Maton - Is this coming through the preamp by any chance ?? I only ask because these guitars normally don't sound this great unplugged but plugged in are fantastic. Is it just a mic or is it coming through the preamp ??
