The Art of Ragtime Guitar

Update April 2007. I am now experimenting with posting a PDF of the Art of Ragtime Guitar on this site. My new web host allows for much higher data transfer rates than my old host, so I'll see whether this works out. I'd like to offer profuse thanks to Mark R. Wagstaff, who took the time and effort to scan in the book. He's had a lot of success in using the material in his teaching. Thank you, Mark.

The PDF is not pristine, but it should be a big help for guitarists who would like to learn the material. I have also started looking into making physical copies of the book available again, but in a new presentation. There are several online sites that print books on an as-needed basis, and that is probably the route I will take. I appreciate the emails I have been sent, and I will try to reply to them! Thank you for your patience.

I am making the PDF file available for individual use only. If you would like to pass around copies of the PDF to close friends, please make sure that you give them the link to this site and encourage them to visit the site. You do not have permission to post the PDF file on any other web site or publicly available file server.

If you enjoy this music, could you please show your appreciation for my efforts. Perhaps you would like to purchase a copy of the Pagano/Saslow PS1 CD; or just send a contribution to yours truly:
