Honky Tonk Fun!
John’s notes;
This genre is also known as ‘Rag Time’, ‘Blue Grass’ and ‘Hill Billy’ music with slight variations in ‘groove’ to
distinguish each. My composition is reasonably quick and great practice for those that like ‘upbeat’ Country music!
This style of playing became popular during the ‘Wild West’ period in America, specially in whiskey Bars that sprung
up in the dry barren ‘gold prospecting’ area’s.
‘Honky Tonk’ was played mostly on old battered, upright piano’s (as often featured in Cowboy films). The music style
is still very popular today and played Globally by Country Bands. Some tunes in this style involve very fast picking
and take years to master. My short arrangement is a good starter for those interested in this style of playing…..Enjoy!
