Another tune today, I'm on a roll! Here's kind of a boogie woogie, swung rendition of the Joplin classic. I was inspired by my friend Ben to do this one, and studied some other youtubers out there, listened to the piano version, and generally fused it all together using some of Del Rey's boogie woogie guitar techniques. I left out one section, as I felt it was kind of boring and repetitive.
Overall in my opinion it would probably sound better on an old parlor acoustic guitar, but I only have the National right now.
