Weeping Willow Rag - Scott Joplin

Another one from Classic Ragtime Guitar Solos, arranged by Ton Engels.

The more I practice this piece, the worse it gets!!

This is played with a broken index finger nail and is brimming with buzzes to boot!

Troubleclef plays it beautifully in drop D tuning. This is in standard tuning, but in the same key.

I have only done some of the repeats and have tried to play it in a swing style.

I also know it is slow...but my music has a tempo of 60bpm.

Hey there!

I'm a 17 year old guitarist with 7 years of experience and just wanted to say fantastic job. Recently our high school concert band has been playing Aerodynamics by David Gillingham and this song plays a major part in his. Every time I heard it, it put a smile on my face so I decided to look up how to play it on guitar. With little success, I found your video and I only wish I could play like you. Great playing!

Cheers mate.

I sent you a private message.

Very nice. Have lots of Joplin recordings, but

not this one.

Reminds me of Tom Paxton's "Bottle of Wine."

No. Thank you for watching Rock.

I will try to find Paxton's "Bottle Of Wine".

Cheers,

Paul
