    Happy to chime in with suggestions! 😉 (Even happier there are others who might want some ragtime lessons!)

    “That’ll Never Happen No More” is great. Jorma Kaukonen from Jefferson Airplane does a version of this on YouTube (this is Jerry-bait, because I know he is a fan of the Airplane)

    “Police Dog Blues” another good one, more advanced.

    Cheers!
    Mark from Brooklyn

      Noted.
      Coming up is some Robert Johnson (not exactly the same thing I know) then maybe some Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Blake.
      Truth is that I have a somewhat different style to that classic country blues thumping bass. I won’t sound all that authentic but hopefully I can get the idea across.

    Excellent stuff, Jerry. A lovely fingerpicking tour de force in its own right as well as being a gateway to the ragtime style. Worth every penny. Many thanks. Any chance of some ‘easy’ Blind Blake?

        Jerry, I’ll leave that to you. Suffice to say, I’m very much a novice where ragtime is concerned!
