I have recently been going through another of many personal ragtime revivals and enjoying revisiting, rearranging and practicing some beautiful pieces from the turn of the 20th century. After a few months of serious dedication I have a take on Heliotrope Bouquet that I am pretty happy with. I may get to a lesson on it soon but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the performance.
I am definitely thinking about a lesson on this, most likely a long drip feed approach as the only way to tackle something of this magnitude is very small chunks. One of the many obstacles in playing classic ragtime on the guitar is the sheer length of the composition. Generally there are four parts, any one of which is a pretty big undertaking. You might look at it as four separate Level 9 pieces (although some measures might come in at 6-7, maybe even a few at 4). I will roll this around and maybe get started on a little in the next day or two.
That sounds amazing.
Sounds like a massive undertaking too !
I've been listening to it a lot recently.
I've listened to it on the internet played on the piano and really like your guitar version.
I think that tricky part you were working on for ages, sounds better on the guitar the way you play it !
Well, it's all very tricky, if not near on impossible for mere mortals like me.
