The combination of banjo and ukulele for this classic rag is very beautiful.
Congratulations to Aaron and Carrie whom I greet from Sardinia

Well done. Great musicianship. Absolutely fantastic & how good it is to see the affection between the players. Not sure if they are in a relationship but if marriage could be this good I'd certainly give it another go.

[@AnnLippert1]

That was amazing! In 1985 I bought a Scott Joplin Maple Leaf Rag 12 inch vinyl. I still own it! What a great song

[@jeffreyharper2731]

Americana at its finest. Scott we solute you.

[@joephillips4082]

Aaron's playing of this classic rag is immaculate as always, but adding the baritone uke makes this performance perfect. Carrie has a great sense of time and really nails the comping on this. I commend you both, amazing.

[@perihelion7798]

Nicely done, and a great arrangement for uke and banjo. I really enjoyed it.

[@johngeverett]

My favorite Joplin Rag, in a completely new (to me) format! Well done!

Great Video..would have liked to see the Bass Player included..

[@kyleaylward6678]

Hey man love your style , do you have any tips for a beginner banjo player to playing the ragtime style ???

[@Chiaroscuro1991]

He is playing what’s called “classic” banjo style. Not necessarily classical music, it refers to the fingering style popular from around 1885-1920. Google videos by using the term “classic banjo” or the recording artist Fred Van Eps.

[@AaronJonahLewis]

Thanks, and sure -- I have a playlist for beginning classic banjo: ua-cam.com/play/PLHNRyddU-ceqlJ0ecjqYrpaF73QjsDkCK.html I am also available for one on one lessons (online or in person), email me for more info -- aaronjonahlewis [at] gmail.com

[@jusyutto]

Fun fact: maple leaf rag has lyrics

[@chas5131]

That is great. Have a tab arrangement by Sokolow. Would like to see this in nototation or tab.

[@AaronJonahLewis]

Just very great. Pretty lady, great beard.

[@Figureout4261]

Interesting, as the syncopation in piano was, I understand, borrowed from the banjo, for which syncopation comes out natural.

[@lynnglidewell7367]

I thought ragtime was played on four sting banjo?

[@bogheavy]
