Laughing Rag

A tiny snippet of a tune I've been playing around with today, work in progress inspired by great versions of this fun rag by Sam Moore, Roy Smeck and R. Crumb. The ukulele is a wonderful old "Peter Pan Hand Made De Luxe" (ahum!!), most likely made by the workshop of John Rutan, which produced some great Martin ukulele copies in the 1920's, before the factory mysteriously burned down.

Awesome, Wininboy. You are TRULY the bees knees.

@MrJellyrollBaker Cheers Jelly! The feeling's very mutual!

can you send me the chords to this please???

[wininboy]

It's just G and C, then G A7 D7, back to the G and C bit and finally walk through the same dimished chord, but always in a higher position.

As easy as that!

Hope that helps, because that's the best I can do for now.

what is this peice? where can i find it?

[wininboy]

This piece is called "Laughing Rag". You can hear the original version in the video that was posted as response to this. You can hear the Winin' Boys do a full band version of it in a video on this site called "Winin' Boys warm up".

Ah! It seems that wininboy's gentle breezes are lifting the wings of Peter Pan to the heavens! And just like Peter Pan who refused to grow up, you sir, refuse to play poorly. Your fluent and rhythmic playing cast ripples on the shimmering seas of youtubiness.

OK, enough of the laboured metaphors! Just great!

Lovely playing. Deceptively effortless. Loved the tremelo effect at the end too!
