A little rag kind of composition

[Johan Madsen]

Hi everyone, just wanna get some of your opinions about a little composition here, hope you enjoy it, thanks!

[docwatsonfan]

that was really cool
I wish I could play like that

[Johan Madsen]

Thank you very much, Doc Watson is a good teacher

[Johan Madsen]

Any other opinions?

Pretty good melody line in places. In other places it is more chord pattern picking - that happens pretty easily
in alternate thumbing tunes. Keep a melody line going and perhaps do some variations up the neck a ways.

I like that, hey... you're the maple guy, lol. I'm calling that tune the "Walking Rag" until you name it because you're walking the chords up and down the neck. Nice job.

Yes that's it, the maple guy, maple addict, with the maple song lol, walking rag could have been a cool title too

Thanks, the "chord" part was more like a kind of break, to let the melody breathe a little bit

I thought it worked that way. Pleasing melody.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the melody

I'm "upping" that one a little bit, don't know if it's allowed

[David Hutton]

Definitely my cup of tea. I like you laid back style.

The guitar has lovely sound! Excuse my ignorance, what is it?

[Redpick]

Very laid back and relaxing, I enjoyed this very much and hope to hear more of your playing style. I love Maple as a tonewood and recently discovered Koa.

[delaorden9]

I second all the comments; great !

I think it's a nice piece and I like the progression.

I'd love to hear this on a steel string guitar and played with more authority. Right now the playing is clean but a bit shy IMHO.

As Derek suggested, adding some variations up the neck would add some spice as well. Also watch your timing, especially when you play the progression in A major.
