Wow!, When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears. I have been struggling with ragtime-blues for a while, you make it all so simple. You are a great teacher, in the class of Patrick Costello (banjo) and Marty Schwartz (acoustic blues guitar) keep making these lessons, they are great.
I'm just getting into finger picking and tackling my first rag time piece. This tutorial really helped clear and confirm a few things. Looking forward to the rest in the series. Thanks.
You teach this well. You assume the people who you are teaching know things about the guitar. That works. What they don't know they can find at other places and come back. Keep on keeping on.
thanx for the ring finger bass note and pinky on the third fret a string for the c it works great going from f to c just bring those 2 fingers up boom your there ...some of us have trouble with the wrap around thumb action ....great trick...
I don't know if it's because I'm feeling upbeat and receptive to new information today or not, but you're an excellent teacher. your pace is good. your insightful instructions obviously come from a practical and concise standpoint. you aren't overly wordy or long-winded with your lessons either. you're just an all around great teacher. I've learned a thing or two from you already and I'm only halfway through the video. but more importantly, I feel like what your teaching the audience is the kind of ragtime basics that can be expanded upon if the guitarist puts in the time to experiment and tweak some of these concepts. fucking great channel and I think I'll subscribe
What sort of setup do you use for this style? I have Maton Dreadnought style guitar. Excellent for flatpicking but hard for fingerstyle. Any suggestions on how to set up for the ragtime/finger style playing you're doing? Any help is appreciated...
Have got to ask. What sort of guitar is that? Worth while contribution to youtube guitar lessons, you've done better then most. I'm impressed.Finally one worth watching..Looking forward to more.
Nice video! I watched a few ragtime lessons and most were totally useless unless you're already on a level where you basically don't even need to watch video lessons as you can figure out everything by ear. Which of course makes the videos useless. But I'm glad I found this one!
Actually in the middle of writing a thrash/ragtime hybrid song. Any musicians I should listen to that played relatively fast I'm regards to the ragtime genre?
