John’s notes;
This genre is also known as ‘Rag Time’, ‘Blue Grass’
and ‘Hill Billy’ music with slight variations in ‘groove’ to
distinguish each. My arrangement is reasonably quick
and great practice for those that like ‘upbeat’ Country
music!
This style of playing became popular
during the ‘Wild West’ period in
America, specially in whiskey Bars
that sprung up in the dry barren ‘gold
prospecting’ area’s.
‘Honky Tonk’ was played mostly on
old battered, upright piano’s (as often
featured in Cowboy films). The music style is still very
popular today and played globally by Country Bands.
Some tunes in this style involve very fast picking and
take years to master. My short arrangement is a good
starter for those interested in this style of playing.
Enjoy!
