Ragtime guitar - 'Bethena' by Scott Joplin

[TonyRowden]

This one caught my ear when I watched 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' recently.
Notation and TAB for this is here www.tonyrowden.co.uk

Thanks, Tony. I really enjoyed that... a little ragtime in the morning!

Thanks Glenn. It's one of Joplin's best I think. I appreciated your comments.

That was beautiful.
Very well played, indeed.

Thank you for that.

Also, I thought the lightning setup in the video was fantastic, the way you sit in almost complete shadow is very fitting with the piece.
I wonder how you achieved that light setup...

Thank you TallDrink, that's much appreciated The lighting setup is just a table lamp with the shade removed. That's a large black curtain in the background and I'm 3 metres in front of it to avoid any light reflection.

Amazing what you can achieve with so few props... It looks professional. :Up:
