Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2020 9:24 pm
Hi Everyone,
We have a brand new lesson available!
The Entertainer by Scott Joplin - Neil Hogan's Version
Scott Joplin's music has tickled millions of listeners around the world, and created quite a challenge for guitarists since its resurgence in the 1970s.
In the late 70s I started working on an arrangement of The Entertainer by Dutch guitarist Leo Wijnkamp. I continued adding to and adjusting many parts until I finally came up with an arrangement I think Joplin would approve of.
Like most classic rags, it consists of four 16-bar sections, every one of which is a mini-masterpiece in my eyes, and I generally have students treat these as such and want them to have the perspective that each part is a separate piece and not get overwhelmed by the magnitude.
The original was in the key of C and this arrangement is in D, done in Dropped D Tuning.
Patience and perseverance are the requirements here.
Enjoy this advanced level lesson!
