Default Solace (Scott Joplin)

I did this years ago and forgot I had recorded it. So, here it is, the main theme of Solace. I think this is one of the most lovely and haunting melodies ever.

Hope you enjoy (and listen with headphones if you can)

Lovely - one of my favourites as well - I remember you posting this before as I really enjoyed your expressive playing and the restrained tempo. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I couldn't remember if I had posted it years ago. And thanks for the tempo compliment. I think the tune is the prettiest when it doesn't get rushed.

good job. Transcribe piano tunes for guitar is a big fatigue expecially about S.Joplin rags.
I like this melody too and your rendeering.

Thanks. It is not a tough piece for your right hand (my left!), the bear is your left (my right). There are some LONG stretches in there!!!! The stretches make folks play it too fast (IMO) so they don't have to hold those 5 fret stretches any longer than necessary.
