Got this from a transcription in Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. I made a few changes and a different ending.

  • Humoresque of a Little Dog = Dallas Rag?

  • @TheSingingRat Pretty damn close!

  • Btw: Dave Laibman played this waay before D Miller;

    but suspect that lots of other guitarists fiddled

    with it in key of C. Adding interesting bass lines

    on guitars got kick started with some early lute players doing things like Couperin tunes from the

    1600's! Glad you don't try to play it too fast...

  • In the Dale Miller transcription he says that his version was 'based' on the Laibman one. I don't like to play rags too fast (except for a couple like Maple Leaf), since they were never intended to be played that way, and they end up sounding like novelty tunes if they are.

  • This is great!! Im a secret fan of rag, I play a few rag tunes myself. I think if you did get a thumbpick you would sound better.

  • Thanks, like I said, my next guitar will have a little better bass response (or maybe it's just the microphone?).

  • Sounds a lot like the Drug Store theme from EarthBound (Also called Humoresque of a Little Dog), which appears in Brawl.

  • Looks effortless.

  • Looks effortless.

  • Nicely played ,, enjoyed it ,, cheers ,, dave :))

  • Nice picking. Nicely paced, too. As others have said, it's too easy to get trapped in the speed thing. I did it way back when in the 1970s, after listening to way too much Grossman. Dave Laibman really had the edge.

  • Ha ha ha. I love this. I didn't know the drug store theme was actually Dallas Rag!! :D

  • @llanbradach well.. as you can see, he is using one. and sound great but i whould reccomend better sting that response better to bass? maybe ? but sound great aniway :P
