My goodness girl, you are a prodigy. Oh, have you ever tackled "Oh By Jingo"?. When I learned to play that, I thought, "Now I can play finger style guitar"

Thank you! I haven't heard of that one, I will have to check into it.

good good

i want to play this song where can i get the music?

[BluegrassForte]

Thanks! The one version that I am playing is an easy version that is Arr. by John W. Schaum in a book called "Scott Joplin Ragtime Rage" Book 2. You can get this book off the internet. That's the easy version. There is a hard version that is in a book called "Scott joplin Ragtime King Piano" By Carl Fischer. It is Arr. by Scott Joplin. It's hard though.

Hi G:

"Oh By Jingo" was on an lp called "Stringin' Along With Chet Atkins" released in 1956. Also was on double lp called "Now and Then"..dont know release date but was years later.
