Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Barbershop, Blues, Folk, Ragtime. Tablature. 2 pages. Brian Streckfus #771449. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1171119).
Key: C Major (Blues) Pages: 2
1. 2 page arrangement for guitar. I'm sorry to say this is not the full version, but a 16 page version is long winded for my purposes. 2. Guitar Tab added. 3. Slurs and slides added. 4. Re-harmonized to be idiomatic for guitar, be less cliche, and to emphasize the main melody more. 5. Some composers indications added when really necessary. 6. Left hand fingerings added. 7. Chord nomenclature added. 8. Overly excessive ties removed. 9. Some octaves changed to better suit guitar.
Tips: 1. Be very careful of the difference between slurs and ties! Sometimes I don't show slurs on the tab, but this time I had to. 2. The rests are "real" and they are suggested because they lead to a jazzier rag time sound. I feel like it goes without saying that sustain is ultimately up to the performer, which is why I removed a lot of pedantic ties; they seem to add confusion half the time. 3. The D7 is a slight key change because it has an F# in the chord. It's a secodary dominace chord, V7/V, and often a vii7b5 can replace it. In other words, the F# goes gravitates into the next chord, a G Major chord. 4. G6 is really just the 3 thinnest strings of the guitar open. It's a great transition chord. 5. The D# is part of the C major blues scale. 6. Adding more 7th chords than originally there is almost always an interesting pursuit. Going from G to G7 can certainly aid in helping things sound more goofy.
