Default Dallas Rag

Latest piece in my finger-picking journey.



Wanted to master this tune for about 20 years...not sure I can claim that mastery yet but it's such a massively fun song to play with the counterpoint and single-note runs I thought I'd try and record a decent version. Alfie tried his best to distract me and any errors are totally down to him ;-)) Not sure who sent the email that pinged half way through either!

Guitar is a Tanglewood TW60 recorded into a Tascam DP004. Arrangement is Dave Laibman's via Stefan Grossman.

Nice! I could have sworn Alfie was scratching in time to the music at the start there...you have trained him well.
These great videos people keep posting are very inspiring, in 30 years, maybe I"ll get there

Very good! Sounds excellent! I have a Takemine flat top (I put Daddario 10's flat wound on it). It's a single cut and has a nice sound. Yours really sounds good. I've still a long way to go with my picking though. Love to see your videos! Keep em coming!

I have a cat that likes to sit on my shoulder when I play. She always seems interested in what I'm doing.

Nice one Del!

I love me some Rag.
Anything that comes via Stefan Grossman is OK by me.

Following on from Alfie's impromptu appearance in Dallas Rag I gave him a bit more screen time in Willie Moore's Old Country Rock:



Kind regards,
