Playing the Classic Rags of Scott Joplin, James Scott & Joseph Lamb – David Laibham
“In these lessons, I have tried, for the most part, to meet two goals. First, to create versions of some of the most beautiful classical rags that ‘lay down’ well on guitar, so when you play them you are working with the instrument, not fighting it. I have tried to pitch and arrange the pieces so that a lot of the action is in first position rather than high up on the neck, and to keep left-hand gymnastics to a minimum. Second, I didn’t want these arrangements to sound like ‘student’ arrangements, too elementary to be believable. It is all about striking a balance. I am generally pleased with the result, and I hope you will be too.
While the focus of these lessons is on the ‘greats’ – Joplin (Original Rags, The Entertainer), Lamb (Contentment Rag, Ragtime Nightingale) and Scott (Ragtime Oriole) – I have also included one of my own recent compositions: Pandora’s Rag.” – David Laibman
