Topic: Stefan Grossman: Sister Kate?s syncopated dance. 2nd part?

[gus30tavo]

Hello. I?ve been working on a Stefan Grossman CD: Black Melodies on a clear afternoon. I like it very much.
There?s an "easy" rag called Sister Kate?s syncopated dance. Is divided on two parts easily differenced. I?ve got only the TAB for the first one. I think the second part is similar but I can?t find the "chord" position by ear.
Anybody can help me and try to "guide" me with a few ideas?.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Gustavo

Take a open C7 and slide it up 2 frets (D7) for the first few bars then play a G at the 3rd fret but leave the high E string  open

Stefan plays it with a capo at the second fret so you will actually playing E7 and A

It Looks easy....
Do you play Grossman?.Becouse I?ve got a couple of cuestions about his rags and tabs notations. It doesn?t sound like tabs... (??)
Thanks Dave.

I always thought Stefans tabs to be pretty accurate, if you are having problems with them why don't you ask the man himself at -

The second part is covered in one of Stefan's video/dvd lessons - fingerpicking country blues guitar. You've no doubt got the first part which is in one of his cd/book lessons (can't remember which). he does play one of the bars in the first part differently as well. The second part is much better in my mind, very ragtime.
