This is absolutely wonderful to listen to and to watch. I want to play like him and I may be able to become one tenth as good some day if I work as hard as Mr. Donohue obviously has. My hats off to you, Pat Donohue!
First time I've ever heard Pat Donohue on Utube. I've heard him many times on PHC. Wow, can't believe what I've been missing!!!! Fantastic!! Really clean playing with just the right amount of volume on each part!
Pat was an instructor at one of Mike Dowling's summer music camps that I attended. I didn't study with him because his stuff was too advanced, but I talked with him and he was so gracious. A really down to earth guy!
With the possible exception of Tommy Emmanuel, I don't imagine there will EVER be a better guitar rendition of this, than Pat's. It's absolutely fantastic and as close to note perfect as you're likely to get. It's a difficult piece on piano. Even more so on guitar. Well done Pat.
well, far better is a Schoenberg arrangement that's totally true to Joplin he did at Father's Moustach in Rossyln NY in 1975 nobody is likely to ever eclipse it and played at this speed
Someone a tab....Please i'm willing to spend the next 3 years with a tab to begin to try to play something that sounds like that....But by ear and thiw video it is going to take me much longer....!!!!!!
:( Now I have to burn my guitar. Just kidding. Wonderful performance. But humbling for those of us trying to learn that style. Practice practice practice. Now which way to Carnegie Hall?
If you've never met him, he is so nice and down to earth. When you talk with him it's like talking to a friend. Sweet man and sweet sweet music.
You can't get any better than this.
That might be the best left-hand work of any guitar player i've ever seen. Wow. Just wow.
Love this rendition. Really keeps that ragtime synchopation going all through the arrangement.
Wow! So clean and precise. You are a Guitar Master Mr. Donohue. Thank you for posting.
Prairie home national treasure rite there. Thanks.
Grossman for president.

simply brilliant

Pat won the Nation Fingerpicking Contest in Winfield a few years back (a lot)
Brilliant player, and a really nice guy
nice version of this all time classic song
I saw Pat a couple of weeks ago at the Timucuan in Orlando. Totally crushed it! Love that chet-esque finger style
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MASTER!!!!!
Very clean playing. Excellent
A very fine version! Excellent!
This is totally my favorite version on guitar 😊
Wow! And a triple Wow!
this makes me happy
Awesomeness.
Excellent!
great performance!!! awesome!
Sheer GENIUS
Yeah!! Wonderful!
best version !!!!!!!
Wow, scary good. Scott Joplin would like this version. His fingering is unreal, and he keeps the right hand going perfectly.
yes yes love it
I love the dynamic change in the high part. I don't know what to call it. Much like the trio of a march. 0:45
Wonderful!
Respect...
Great rendition of that venerable tune. Also-he gets extra credit for the picture of Larry Fine.
Qué hermosa versión de Maple Leaf Rag y qué buena interpretación Felicitaciones :)
Genius.
Fantastic
WOOOP WOOP!
I am playing this same version!
And how cool is it that Larry is looking right at you through the cutaway?
That is awesome! Loved that. First time hearing a good, no GREAT version on the guitar! ;)
fantastic
Excellent
What a cool tune:)
awesome!
Is that Larry peeking through the cutaway?
Yes it is .
With the possible exception of Tommy Emmanuel, I don't imagine there will EVER be a better guitar rendition of this, than Pat's. It's absolutely fantastic and as close to note perfect as you're likely to get. It's a difficult piece on piano. Even more so on guitar. Well done Pat.
Check out Richard Smith’s version
Really piola
Great video. Thanks for posting this tune which really sticks to the original piano version. Any tabs available?
wow, impressive !
Smokin Good.
Wow!
Shout out to Pat! My dad, Jake, studied with you when you lived in Denver, Capitol Hill, in the 80s! Cool!
My dad is a lawyer.... :)
You know this isn't Pat's channel he won't see this
Great performance, ,made better by Larry peering out from the cutaway at different times
Hard enough to play on the piano, never mind the guitar. Good job. Sounds like you've played it before.
Nice version!
Look at the tremelo arm on those bigsbys! I gotta get me one!
Play the rag!!!
Fine Minnesota pickin1 Pat!
bravissimo
This is a hard tune to play. Wow
He’s amazing
monster
... or even better. Mr Donohue could you please make and post a video of the tutorial of this song. Great thanks in advance
Every time I hear this I just think "Slappy Squirrel"
Gift? Try passion and hard work. Nobody is given this ability. You earn it.
@ScottFree37 I think that is how he got this Somogyi
Nice use of the cutaway to showcase Larry Fine of the Three Stooges...although a Scott Joplin tie would have been more appropriate
Does anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this or do I have to transcribe it from Joplin's Piano Music?
Pat donahue plays american fingerstyle guitar favorites available from hal Leonard pub. Fantastic book
He wanted to switch horses in the middle of a dream
thats nice gtr man,,
Hi can you please help me find tabs for this version? I really really want to play this song
Hi Benjamin-If you succeed in finding tab for this please let me know.
Hey fretkllr
trying to learn this song.
oofda.
someone tab this NOW
well, far better is a Schoenberg arrangement that's totally true to Joplin he did at
Father's Moustach in Rossyln NY in 1975 nobody is likely to ever eclipse it and played at this speed
The one dislike must be out of pure jealousy
AND A TIE
RUNNERS
How is it that a piano jingle right out of a saloon suddenly takes on a noticeably folk sound when played on guitar?
The Arctic Gamer cause a lot of country and folk took a lot of inspiration from rag time. its awesome
@@tristancata9146and also he's countrified this arrangement quite a lot, with slides and other turns of phrasing
Like Alice Cooper said, "who's funnier than Larry Fine?"/ Is that a picture on PD's shirt?
Larry's on his necktie, thanks to the cutaway on his guitar.
DAT TIE.
Someone a tab....Please i'm willing to spend the next 3 years with a tab to begin to try to play something that sounds like that....But by ear and thiw video it is going to take me much longer....!!!!!!
Guess I should throw my guitar away now!
The four+ dislike must be out of pure jealousy
hey blue shirt, front row, put a little effort into clapping.
camera needs to show more of the right hand!
:( Now I have to burn my guitar. Just kidding. Wonderful performance. But humbling for those of us trying to learn that style. Practice practice practice. Now which way to Carnegie Hall?
Are u a god or wat???
I'm tempted to dislike it out of jealousy. MAN, this is great stuff.
just about classical gas. on a ggod day i am 70
LARRY....sorry, it had to be said.
thought i should point out to the next viewers that i arrive at exactly 77,777 views. anybody know the significance of this?
it's all 7's?
Geoffrey Robinson yes, do you know the significance of this?
esotericoutsider
beyond it being a lot of 7's, no.
It means you are predestined to become a tuba player, solo, sidewalk performer- 5 cents please:)
Yes that many peeps have watched it!
I can't listen that fast.
The audience looks bored...I'd be tapping my feet, bobbing my head...
I thought I was good...
Seems that 18 people know how to play better...HIC RHODOS HIC SALTA
Technique and skill is amazing but it feels too fast.
What a monster player.
