Maple Leaf Rag - Bob Evans

[@darthvader1251]

Someone should make a piano arrangement of this.

[@rashmiSingh-bu4kn]

definetly :)

[@buzzyanderson4131]

Haha!

[@DavidMoore_drmoorejr]

HA HA!

[@augustineriley5582]

Killer! LOL ;)

[@neildhan]

I can barely imagine it. Ragtime piano? Whatever next?

[@franksabatino7576]

Bob's version just rolls along so perfectly, no hurry no worry.

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Best version out there.

[@aadityakiran_s]

Yeah but I like the alternate accents with ragtime piano. That propels the song forward.

[@Gidbiddy]

@@stuartwrigglesworth9339 I personally prefer this kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3fIiJWYlrh9h8U but both are great.

[@DutchMasterMorgan]

That was beyond outstanding.

[@passion777able]

I love this music. It's so happy and uplifting. But this man doing it on a guitar is sheer perfection. My heart is happy again. Too much nasty stuff going on in the world then we get a talent like this man and Scott Joplin and everything is back to normal. Thank you ... you made my evening.

[@dietvandermaden4615]

Beautifully said, thank you.

[@kylegreen6348]

Some of the best acoustic playing I’ve ever heard

[@peter53k]

My favourite version of Maple Leaf Rag on acoustic guitar - so perfectly bouncing and swinging, such a clean tone ... you can't do it any better.

[@Arariel3]

I love the casual sashay of this arrangement! Thank you.

[@DavidSmith-kz8lr]

As a guitar player, I can assure you, this ain't easy. Bob just made it sound that way....!

[@veritechace6181]

I must learn this. I am absolutely astonished.

[@Yamanotefy]

By very far my most favourite rendition of this classic on the guitar. Well done Bob, it's sounds so well rolling and catchy!

[@dlloyd4896]

Outstanding play! I have this song book. Incredible arrangements. very challenging!

[@jamescopeland5358]

Great job

[@chickenwyngs3646]

This made my day! I love it

[@soyelkechu]

I love you for this 4 minutes. I hate you for the rest of my life wasted trying to play rag as good as you do. Beautiful!! Greetings from Spain.

[@evajun8287]

No words for it... Soooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@peterschillert6333]

A little bit of Gold. Bloody beautiful Bob, Thanks very much!

[@royboyx2]

Some very lively yet precise playing. Beautiful technique and great feel.

[@janbenschop7597]

Smooth! Bravo!

[@JuanMartinez-xl2oj]

This made me so giddy that I began to giggle, terribly delightful!!!!

[@gwendolynmcgrath7697]

He does an incredible version of it in the spirit

[@Thomas-pq4ys]

Nice job Bob! I've been playing this on and off for decades.... thanks for the inspiration!

[@michaelearnietaylor8176]

Wow, great to hear you again Bob. I remember when you first started this journey.

[@williamkirby9096]

Hey Bob! Thank you for your playing. Glad to have found your music! Have a nice day!

[@georgecee7206]

Hi Bob! I absolutely love this arrangement of Maple Leaf Rag. Many years ago I learned a different arrangement you did for Kicking Mule Records. The one I have did not include the second section as played here. In any case your arrangement for Fig Leaf Rag, Bethena and Maple Leaf have been with me since the late 70's. Thank you sir!

[@MrStrocube]

Oh man, that’s some bouncy, swingy, syncopated goodness right there. Brilliant playing, and an excellent arrangement. Joplin would be honored. Thanks

[@vituskyper]

la più bella interpretazione di questo brano intramontabile: esecuzione perfetta, giusto il tempo, nessuna sbavatura, la chitarra praticamente un diapason ... bravissimo Bob!

[@Jamesdylandean]

Lyrically beautiful! Just gorgeous.

[@Z4KMORRISS]

haha yes i agree. the best lyrics are sometimes without words

[@glennk1931]

That was beautifully done Bob. Bravo sir. 👏

[@brianmchugh1100]

You look like you're having so much fun playing it! I can say that on the listening end it is a joy! So, much fun. So clean and rhythmic. Beautiful!

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

A great old tune nicely rendered.

[@mak587]

Beautiful version Bob. You nailed it. Thanks.

[@perihelion7798]

A very nice arrangement for guitar. Expertly played. Thanks!

[@RealDiaz]

Most accurate version on you tube hands down! You win the internet!!

[@stevej.longariello3384]

[@stevej.longariello3384]

Wonderful, Bob! Thanks.

[@torstenblick4118]

[@markleestampley8784]

Incredible performance ! Never heard Joplin's masterpiece Maple Leaf Rag on guitar before. You have set the barre, for how it should be performed ,Mr. Evans ( and it is quite high, lol)

[@kerryburns6041]

This man respects the space between the notes, as well as the notes themselves. Nice .

[@RickEVengeance]

Ooh, memories of the Guild Folk Club 1975/76, I've still got some recordings I made back then, have to dig them out for old times sake - Nostalgia or what....

[@olixbob]

Isn't it just unbelievable that a man can do this? Incredible.

[@kennethcanfield595]

WOW!!!!! Brilliant. Blew my mind away. Just loved it.

[@thomaswalz3515]

That was NICE Bob.... smooth as silk... I've been playing this ditty for well over 20 years... you just smoked my ass.... kudos!

[@thomaswalz3515]

@Ed Thanks for the encouragement... this an many more...

[@sp2222222]

The 16 thumbs down didn't like his hat. This is superb playing. Enjoyed it

[@journyroberson3393]

Omggggggg you're so amazing. I'm 17 years old and music is everything to me and Scott Joplin is my absolute favorite. I greatly appreciated your rendition. I was so moved. I was wondering if you did tutorials. I also play first and piano and various other instruments and I should love to play this on guitar. Overall I'm super grateful for the work you've done.

[@Z4KMORRISS]

almost finished with the entertainer, i think this will have to be my next lockdown goal

[@423gtrman]

Best I've heard

[@jeffloewi5632]

Just perfectly played. I can listen to this over and over and over again. The only thing that bothers me is the phrase between 1:14 and 1:16, it keeps reminding me of Super Mario. Dah Dah Dah da Dah Dah! Ha!

Love the speed. Perfectly satisfying. Try watching at 1.25x speed too. Also satisfying. 1.75x for impossible mode
