Hi friends of fingerstyle guitar music,
this is my fingerstyle solo guitar arrangement of one of the most famous ragtimes "Maple Leaf Rag", written by Scott Joplin in 1899. Within 6 weeks after the piano score was released, 75.000 copies were sold. Scott Joplin was the first musician who later sold more than one million copies.
Playing Ragtimes is a challange for the left hand of piano players - and a challenge for the right hand for guitar players - if one wants to follow closely to the original piano score with all the details in harmonies etc. But that´s what brings the fun in playing these great compositions.
I made this arrangement about 1998/1999 - but it took me a long time ro record it.....

greetings from Germany

Gerhard
