Loads of good ragtime players around - on guitar...

Try Ton Van Bergeyk whose done loads of very fine Joplin arrangements keeping all the syncopation and most of the harmony.

Also the Welsh master of 70s ragtime guitar, John James, though more recently he seems to have steered away from the rags. He did a cracking version of the George Botsford tune Black and White Rag.

Then there's the Stefan Grossman stuff though I found a lot of that pretty inaccurate and often incomplete.

I spent loads of time trying to arrange Joplin for guitar, figuring out bass lines I then couldn't play. But it's great fun and lively music. It's becoming more popular again at folk clubs and sessions - which is nice.
