guitar ragtime

OK, gonna stay with guitar ragtime.  gonna play it chord-based, and not so much with syncopated fingerpicking.  this will save my thumb some pain.  anyhoo, it's easier that way.  chords with some melody notes will suffice.  the basic sound comes through and it's easier.  so far I have two by Blind Boy Fuller, Wabash Rag and Keep on Truckin.  My book has two more by Blind Blake, That's Not Gonna Happen to Me, and Blake's Breakdown.

Lesson this week went well.  Working on the Truckin' song.  Doing it fingerstyle for Tom.

Piano plans on hold.  Guitar stuff is working out fine.
