Jul 7, 2008 - ok, can someone answer a question for me? my understanding was that ragtime should not be swung... but here, i'm hearing a definite swing. i mean, joplin would know, wouldn't he? lol

Jul 7, 2008 - Ragtime should definately be swung.Living in Sedalia, MO I get to hear all the ragtime I can stand when the festival takes over downtown for a weekend every year.

brummerzzz Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - nah i disagree. i think it sounds better straight, but i guess it's all a matter of opinion.

Jul 7, 2008 - Fúck you, get the fúck out, if this is the way Joplin plays it then nobody shud play it differentNo opinion, you cant just change it caus you like it better (in this case lol)

littleninjo Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Actually dude ur kinda right and wrong - He plays it both ways. Like its actually straight most times, but here for some reason he plays it swung - check out some more originals, you can tell they are him by the riffs he adds - they are always the same.

brummerzzz Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - well, actually, in joplin's later days, he had crippling paralysis in his fingers, and he wasn't able to play perfectly the way he used to. maybe this was from that time. and you don't need to have a period over a youtube argument. calm the fuck down.

Jul 7, 2008 - I meant a thumbs down -- if you have an opinion that is worth something, you can express it without resorting to vulgarity.

Jul 7, 2008 - Bottom line is you should have fun with it--it's not classical after all. Play it the way you like.
