Ragtime Charleston

A little bit of raggy fingerpicking based very loosely around the chords from that old 20s classic. the Charleston. I start at a reasonable pace and then begin to pick up a little speed - just for the hell of it...

Simple tab & music available at.

I have printed off your tab and am trying to play along... But it seems a bit out of my reach for now.

@rubin3364 That's OK - do what you can and take it slowly.

Hi Will, Fine tune well played. I'm curious, are you using thumb and 2 fingers or thumb and 3 fingers?

Thanks,

Sometimes 2 - sometimes 3! :-)

The Charleston was a jazz orchestration meant for the Charleston (dance) composed in 1923, with lyrics by Cecil Mack and music by James P. Johnson, who first introduced the stride piano method of playing

Your repotior is vast...I have a request(although i'll be working on alot of your tabs for a while) I can't find an arrangement of Merle Travis's 'Guitar Rag' anywhere. Any chance of you working it out?
