ELITE SYNCOPATIONS
Scott Joplin
arr. for guitar by Richard Darsie (darsie@ece.ucdavis.edu)
(c) 1994
Guitar is in Drop-D tuning (DADGBE)
Symbols:
x before a note = harmonic
Comments:
This is probably my favorite ragtime piece. I've wanted to be
able to play it for years but never thought it was arrangable.
There _was_ an arrangement of it that someone recorded years ago
on a Kicking Mule record (can't recall exactly which one), but
it wasn't a terribly satisfactory arrangement as I recall.
This one just fell together in the last couple of days when
I was playing around.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Obviously, this measure is very difficult to play. The only way I can
do it is to move the left thumb around _in front_ of the fingerboard
and finger the 6th string, 5th fret from the front using the side of
the thumb and stretching to reach the 12th-fret harmonics with the
left hand pinky. Obviously, this will take much practicing to sound
clean. I suppose an alternate way of doing this measure would
be to try to finger _and_ pluck the harmonics with the right hand
(sort of like "artificial" harmonics), but I haven't been able to
make this work. Look at it this way: if you can do the stretch,
you'll have a truly impressive item in your bag of tricks!
At any rate, good luck with it.

Section 4: It's important to work up to playing this fairly fast,
otherwise it will sound really lame. This section should cook.
