Beaumont Rag
This one was a challenge. Two fret hand transitions (m 5-6 and m 18-19) hung me up for literally weeks. The buzzing you hear occasionally is my ring. Thanks to Tony for a fret hand tip (roll your wrist) as that greatly improved precision on the Collings’ slightly narrower nut.

Excellent picking there @ScottyMac . I can see how the timing might be challenging in a few places. Laughed at your closing remarks. Funny how that little red light can make it so much more difficult to get a clean take. Your work paid off!

Thanks

I relate to the “many takes” comment. I appreciate your performance. A few years ago Tony challenged the TAC community to learn and perform Beaumont Rag for a mash up video. Thus I relate to how well you are cross-picking and handling those sticky transitions in this piece. Good work.

<div>Great job! I can appreciate the challenge of playing this style of music. I have been working on some ragtime and rag blues and such as well. I haven’t tried any arrangements that use a pick yet. I looks difficult! Check out the YouTube below. It’s of Stefan Grossman playing Dallas Rag back when he was younger. If your not familiar with him he teaches this style of music. I think he’s a great guitarist. </div>

Thanks for introducing me to this player

Scotty Mac, Well done! I really enjoyed your playing and hearing Stephan Grossman (thanks Kim-Fitz). Still working on my “takes” so I can post one :)!

Sometimes I just have to say “close enough for government work” and move on.
