David Laibman is regarded as one of the founders of modern fingerstyle classic ragtime guitar. He began working out old-timey and classical rags in the 1960s; recorded The New Ragtime Guitar, with Eric Shoenberg (Folkways, 1970), and Classical Ragtime Guitar (Rounder, 1980), both available on CD.
In this DVD David performs a wide variety of his compositions and arrangements of rags by Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. He talks about his musical influences, arranging and working out fingerings for these complex pieces and how in recent times he has begun writing ragtime compositions for guitar.
