      @@rippertrain Is that your first rag piece you have learned or the first piano piece ever you have learned. Because if you want to learn a rag for beginners then i recommend Swipesy by Scott Joplin. That one is far easier than the entertainer and it also sounds great! You should give it a shot. I wish you luck on your journey in the ragtime genre.

    Speaking here as an old guy! who learned to play some of Joplin's rags when your age.... (and can STILL play some of them)..
    I think this is really really good. Delightful ! You are finding bits to additionally syncopate beyond what was written. Without overdoing it. Great touch. With musical humour, too! And the effect is really enjoyable. And as another commenter has said, I also believe you are playing just as Joplin would have intended.
    After watching this I sat down and (it's been years) - my fingers themselves remembered the first part and the last part. Now I just have to work on the middle again.

    You're probably my favorite Joplin player out there, because your never rush through the pieces. Unfortunately, ragtime seems to be a particularly tempting genre to play "speeded up" because it is typically so lively and filled with energy. But I think this sticking to tempo quality gives way more charm to these works and you're really good at enforcing that so please keep it up! :- )

    I was wondering when you would finally learn this piece and upload it to RUclips. I’ve seen your post on Instagram about it quite a while ago while it was still in the making. I must say you did a fantastic job! I can tell you’ve must have put hours of work into it as it shows through your flawless performance. I didn’t spot a single mistake coming from a Joplin fan such as myself. And this piece is also one of my favourites of his. I’m impressed by your level of musicianship when it involves licensing and ad libbing. I could clearly hear your extra voicing you added in both hands, but particularly the right. It really helps to make the piece your own a bit, without changing the original mood or intention that Joplin was aiming to capture. In your case, you pulled it off perfectly, which is part of what makes your music so original. Even when you’re playing somebody else’s piece. Well done. 👏

    Watched a few of your videos now. Really impressive and you play really well.

    Already enjoyed and liked this weeks ago, but I have to say, RUclips keeps showing me the thumbnail and that victory smile cracks me up every time I see it.

    I have played that one myself--but I couldn't have come up with that good a rendition if I'd tried for FORTY hours! Great job! (Good for you for memorizing, too.)

    It would be interesting to see you playing some classic piece like For Elise for example. Something that is not in a rag-style.

    This is one of my absolute favorite Joplin rags of all time!

    I absolutely love your recording set-up, the piano is so punchy and rich.

    I’ve got a real good headphones but that’s the best sounding studio piano I’ve heard in my life so nicely tuned and tempered and you play well very well glad I stumbled across this tonight.
