"Oh Papa"

This is a rendition that demonstrates the Classic Ragtime Blues style originated by Mississippi John Hurt and Rev. Gary Davis ... amongst others. Interestingly, this song is composed of 2 chords throughout the piece: G & D. The melody itself is established the first time around and then I explore some simple rhythmic changes along with melody variations ... which keeps it interesting as an instrumental for both the player and the listener.

This song is included in one of the books we carry titled:
Mel Bay Complete Fingerstyle Guitar Book By Stefan Grossman.
