As a metal musician primarily, I find this, one incredibly impressive from a technical standpoint, and two incredibly enjoyable to listen to. Bravo sir🔥
Very special rhythmic feel. Just the way I like it, tapping your foot audibly makes it really step out! I'm a ragtime pianist, but I love ragtime guitar, and not every good picker has that certain feel that you do, Richard. I loved this.
@@emlyngriffith5846 I play this quite fast! Check out my Ragtime Ramble video. It has a slow and quick version. It's surprising how well Saslows pieces sound fast and slow. It's nice to find your own pace. Thanks for leaving a comment:)
What a treat! I seen many people play fingerstyle over the years and you are the among few I've seen that are good at channeling the spirit of Chet Atkins or Doc Watson. You are just having some serious layback fun. I love it.
You've really got the tempo right for these rags and cakewalks.. very warm, smooth.. and you've got the groove, too. I can see the dancers, swinging along, competing for that cake. Terrific!
@@lyrebirdguitar Well Martjn, you DO make these rags swing! That's part of what's exceptional about your playing. The groove is bold, the swing is vibrant, yet overall, everything is easy-going and understated. Wonderful, wonderful playing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. What you don't see is the microphone recording my foot tapping, I too love tapping to this! :) Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

Very nice arrangement.Excellently played.
Wow! Even at this pace, no mistakes, crystal clear. Compliment!
Thank you, I might have gotten carried away tempo wise 😂, but this tempo felt right. Glad you enjoyed this!
I have just learned this piece. mine is about 75 % of this speed. Brain and fingers crash after 75%!
Yes, as you may have noticed...my face starts contorting at this speed! 75% would be more preferable to prevent crashes 😂
Very well played….a lot faster than I can manage it! All the pieces by Saslow in his book are a challenge and a real pleasure to play. 👍🍷
