After some time, practice, brain racking and review of the lesson posted above and hours on the internet, being as dense as I am and all, I'm still hoping someone could enlighten me with more info. I think I understand that in this genre the minors are majorized, but what else. Playing other rag songs can get you there but I'm not seeing what makes rag ..well....rag. Can anyone add something? I'll take all I can get. What make a chord progression ragtime? Is it merely the syncopating base thump with majorized seventh minors?
