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.
