  • Thanks for sharing your expertise Jon. Your a fine teacher and a great player.

  • love the inlay work Jon!! Never really noticed it before, I was yo into trying to figure out what the heck you are doing!

  • Thank you! Well done! You've been a BIG help!

  • @tripleleo Thanks.

  • you sir have a talent

  • @rpby82 The biggest difference I see is that in piedmont blues and in folk rags, there is some improvisation. In Classic ragtime, there isn't. A lot of people throw it all together and call it ragtime blues. A lot of the techniques are the same (alternating bass, for one). Doesn't really matter what you call it, it's great music.

  • @rpby82 'Ragtime blues' seems to cover more ground. It usually includes tunes from the jug bands, medicine show entertainers, vaudeville songs - lots of styles. Ragtime guitar is arranging and playing classic and folk piano Rags on guitar.

  • @rpby82 It depends who you ask. Piedmont is a distinctive style of blues that emerged in the Piedmont region (roughly Va. to Fla.) in the 20's-30's. Some of the classic players are Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis.

  • Very nice lesson Mr. Mosey. Appreciate the generosity.

  • Hey Gent, Yeah, Henry and I have been talking about doing a series of lessons. I'll let you know when we get things together. You can also check the Random Acts Of Music site for updates.
