I'm eight years late but this is a fantastic lesson for a newbie like me. You are outstanding! Thanks!!!

Wow!, When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears. I have been struggling with ragtime-blues for a while, you make it all so simple. You are a great teacher, in the class of Patrick Costello (banjo) and Marty Schwartz (acoustic blues guitar) keep making these lessons, they are great.

Just started getting into rag time, glad KZfaq sent me your channel. Really helpful lessons. Keep it up!

Thanks for putting these lessons on here, they are exactly what I was looking for!

Excellent instruction here: clear & concise.

I'm just getting into finger picking and tackling my first rag time piece. This tutorial really helped clear and confirm a few things. Looking forward to the rest in the series. Thanks.

You teach this well. You assume the people who you are teaching know things about the guitar. That works. What they don't know they can find at other places and come back. Keep on keeping on.

A great start! Looking forward to seeing and learning more. Thanks for the video.

Thank you, this is great tutorial for starting out with fingerpicking and Ragtime type of music!

thanx for the ring finger bass note and pinky on the third fret a string for the c it works great going from f to c just bring those 2 fingers up boom your there ...some of us have trouble with the wrap around thumb action ....great trick...

Great overview of rag, clear instruction and presented well.

hi from New Zealand,Excellent lesson!! always wondered how they finger pick ragtime blues. Now I know! THANK FOR SHARING

Really enjoyed this mate, good introduction and alot of fun to play

Thanks for the lesson. You make it really easy to follow along!

You can always trust people who are into ragtime. They understand what is unspoken.

I don't know if it's because I'm feeling upbeat and receptive to new information today or not, but you're an excellent teacher. your pace is good. your insightful instructions obviously come from a practical and concise standpoint. you aren't overly wordy or long-winded with your lessons either. you're just an all around great teacher. I've learned a thing or two from you already and I'm only halfway through the video. but more importantly, I feel like what your teaching the audience is the kind of ragtime basics that can be expanded upon if the guitarist puts in the time to experiment and tweak some of these concepts. fucking great channel and I think I'll subscribe

Awesome stuff mate. Thanks a lot. Looking forward to learning something new.

Cool seeing some blues lessons on youtube coming out of my home town. Keep it up, buddy!

Great lesson thank you!

just what I was looking for :D

Any chance of more lessons, the 3 I've watched are great👍👍👍

learned something new thanks

Excellent.

Great lesson... thanks for that :)

Nice video! I watched a few ragtime lessons and most were totally useless unless you're already on a level where you basically don't even need to watch video lessons as you can figure out everything by ear. Which of course makes the videos useless. But I'm glad I found this one!

Thanks for this!

muchas gracias amigo

Well explained!

this is helpful to me

enjoyed it

Thank you!!

great thanks!!

Lol that's so funny right when you said I live in East austin, I heard a siren too. But I live west campus

Coady please come back your public need you!

great video. very helpful to a fella starting to dip into rag. i really like the string tone you have. very warm. what are you using?

We need dude back.

Great video! Please please please post more! How are you playing that little ditty @ 1:10?

What sort of setup do you use for this style? I have Maton Dreadnought style guitar. Excellent for flatpicking but hard for fingerstyle. Any suggestions on how to set up for the ragtime/finger style playing you're doing? Any help is appreciated...

Wow, that was a GREAT video, I've got these stefan grossman things but they just don't do it for me. Thanks!

Have got to ask. What sort of guitar is that? Worth while contribution to youtube guitar lessons, you've done better then most. I'm impressed.Finally one worth watching..Looking forward to more.

Are Travis picking and Ragtime different or just the same. Sure we have some walking switching base on both but where the differences

do you play any open tunings? J.D.

great vid...I'm a decent finger picker...my prob is composing blues and ragtime pieces...can you help?

Good stuff, Peter Petrelli's younger brother!

please make more instructional videos!

Actually in the middle of writing a thrash/ragtime hybrid song. Any musicians I should listen to that played relatively fast I'm regards to the ragtime genre?

what do you play at 4:45 , its epic... is it a song..

i didn't know pedro knew guitar XD. great instruction vid though.

What kind of guitar is that????

LOVE THE SOUND OF YOUR GUITAR AS WELL. it's a gibby? vintage or repro?

lol Django had a flipper. Damn it man, make new videos.

that east Austin joke was funny lol

estaba buscando acordes,y me fume un porro...

Jango lost the use of his ring and little finger in a fire

"plant your pinky" haha

Greven L-00

striking resemblance to a well known historical figure is kinda weirding me out. Great lesson tho!!!!! thank you

@3:45 I thought that was my neighborrhood

Good lesson. Bad hair.

Thanks

Django had a flipper for a left hand ~😅 ...I have flippers fir both hands ~ 😮
