Pretty much, except he plays octaves or tenths instead of singular bass notes on 1 and 3, and elaborates the melody with virtuosic improvisation... all from sight reading none the less.

I found this video to be really informative and easily accessible for most levels of musicians to understand! Excellent work! The one thing I would comment on is that some of the audio seemed disproportionately quiet compared to other parts of the video, so I would appreciate if in your future videos you could be aware of that as your mixing the audio, but other than that I thought this was great! I'm excited to see where you go as a KZbinr and I'll be keeping my eye on your future videos 🙂

Why would he get a shoutout just because the video is about ragtime? I love Tom Brier, but it doesn't make sense in this context.
@JorgeL72111 ай бұрын
@@Persun_McPersonsonBecause Tom Brier is the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Federation. He is as close to an original ragtime composer as we can get. He also got insanely popular on KZbin in its early days. Don't forget he has composed multiple originals that are to this day being purchased and listened to. Tell me how that is not relevant.
@Persun_McPersonson11 ай бұрын
@@JorgeL721 I'm aware of Tom's recent award, but it's not relevant to the video because this is not a general video about the ragtime genre, its history, or it's contemporary scene and composers/performers, it's specifically a tutorial on how to adapt any piece of music into the style. Randomly shouting out a composer is going off-topic for no reason.
@JorgeL72111 ай бұрын
My fellow guy, that is what Tom Brier became popular for. Adapting any piece of music into the style. In case you haven't noticed, he started the whole trend and this video might not have happened if it weren't for Tom. If I want to learn about turning an otherwise unpopular instrument like the Bari sax into relevant music, I am not going to reference dudes from history no one knows, I'm gunna reference that guy from the subway. Let a man comment, sheesh. @@Persun_McPersonson

@@JorgeL721 He became popular in the ragtime community for being an exceptional performer, composer, improvisor, and sight-reader. While his KZbin fame did partly include adapting non-ragtime pieces, it also heavily included all of the aformentioned elements. And it should also be noted that he wasn't just adapting any piece of music, his friend Ron O'Dell would specifically give him pieces that either _already are_ ragtime or are similar to ragtime in some way. If the piece wasn't similar to ragtime at all, it wouldn't likely be considered by Ron. This isn't to say that Tom can't adapt any music to Ragtime - heck, he adapted the Maple Leaf Rag into a waltz on the spot -but that this was never the sole or main focal point of his adaptations. All of that said, it is true that Tom definitely had a non-insignificant influence on ragtime adaptations of music in the KZbin space; I had not considered that line of reasoning with your comment, but I understand your viewpoint more now and I apologize for misunderstanding where you're coming from. So if the uploader had briefly mentioned the history of ragtime adaptations on KZbin and Tom's influence on that trend, giving the historical context, then that would have been a nice touch to the video. I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't be able to comment what you want, I just didn't realize the legitimate connection you were making which was the reason you wanted Tom to be mentioned. I apologize for being a bit short-sighted.

Hard to understand, sorry. I play instruments (sax, violin, keyboard) and I understand music theory and certainly chords. But this was just too much too fast. For those feeble like myself, what’s needed is a totally simple song (“Happy Birthday”, etc) and then a more detailed progression of the steps needed to do the ragtime transformation.
