The Strenuous Life - Scott Joplin

Details

Description

An upbeat ragtime two-step, arranged by Ton Engels, from "Classic Ragtime Guitar Solos" by Stefan Grossman.

I have the capo on because the guitar needs a new nut and won't stop buzzing on the E string. I think it also gives more "attack" to the piece where needed.

That is my excuse anyway!

In reality, there is a final part missing from the tune which gets beyond the 15th fret without a capo!

It's been a long time coming, due to computer problems, which makes the mistakes in it even harder to swallow!!

Still, this tune always puts a smile on my face and I hope it does likewise for you.
