Excuse the soft focus - still haven't figured out how to drive a Nikon.
This is my version of Cannonball Rag - includes elements nicked from Pete Huttlinger, Buster B Jones, Merle Travis, Al Pennington, and Chet Atkins. Played on the Tanglewood TW60 recorded directly into the laptop.

More notes in this video from you than I usually play in a day! Greatly cheerful and bouncy and lots of great variations!
Mark, this one goes back to a previous discussion elsewhere about right hand patterns - that's pretty much all it is - just chord shapes and patterns with a few variations and a couple of runs in between. It's the only way I can play and (hopefully) to the uninitiated it sounds a lot more impressive than it really is
Kevin, thanks - the Tanglewood does have a lovely tone. My cheapest guitar (£175 with a case, stand and tuner!), too. I use a thumb pick but no finger-picks.
Cheers
Derek
Wonderful playing, Derek.
