Couple of guitar pieces

Happy Birthday Scott Joplin

 Born this day 1868

Britches full of Stitches x2

 I dusted off the mandolin (literally) and had a go at this fiddle tune. Not easy, its cramped in there!

Then I tried it on guitar-my first attempt at flatpicking. I have to get used to using a pick and doing the upstroke on the 8th notes. Using a 1.2 mm generic pick. It's certainly louder than fingerstyle that's for sure! And flatpicking on guitar is a lot easier than on mandolin!

Serenade, in blue

 Played on my blue Tanglewood Discovery which for some reason was quite a bit harder than when played on the classical!

Serenade

 Serenade by Peter Nutall, the final piece in book 3 of the Guitarists Way, and its bloody gorgeous!

I love that middle section!
