Sugarfoot Rag with Fender Dual Pro

I'm pleased to present "Sugarfoot Rag", the second video with my new band Dandelion String Band.
Same gear as for the first video "It's all your fault" : Fender Dual Pro with a new Fender Vibro Champ. A6th tuning with high C# tuned in B.

Awesome! Very well done. Love the arrangement, especially the uptempo reprise.

Nice job Paolo!

I always played that in C6 with the E lowered to D, essentially the same as you. It's really the only way to play it uptempo.

Thank you Fred, thank you Mike, I am glad you like it !
Mike, even with this trick, for me part B remains difficult to play at fast tempo, which is why I don't play it.

Paolo, it’s a cliché now that happens to be true - knowing when and what not to play is part of being a good player. You made the right choice staying out of the B part. I’ve tried playing it too, on pedal steel. Maybe some day, but for now it’s big Nope.
