I want to learn one of the popular Joplin rags for a while but my teacher, in her sneaky way, always pools me back to more and more challenging academic music. But I want to play something happy....

[@Irukuku999]

Thanks for performing Maple Leaf Rag in low tempo, it helped a lot

[@chrismei8580]

The bass is just brilliant; it isn't merely an accompaniment for the melody, it's almost like a counter-melody that stands on its own. The slower tempo lets you hear the bass which is great for learners (like me).

[@DaveF]

This is great for learning, thank you. Also impressive how closely you traced the metronone

[@sagemoondancer8179]

A nice 100bpm will do you well.

[@SQUAREHEADSAM1912]

Tempo di marcia is about 100-115 bpm. The Maple Leaf Rag should be about 105.

[@JosiahFickinger]

This feels rather slow

[@thenotsookayguy]

That's because it's nearly half the usual tempo.
