Syrian Waltz

Excellent!

Thanks. One value I see in exploring this is the light it sheds on the early fingerstyle banjo songs....ala Converse and Buckley. There are a few polkas I will also try. Very much in style with the work of Buckley 9 years later.

Also, more insight into the minds of those that produced our "tutors"

Title...random pick, but a crazy title...especially today.

Very nice guitar intrusion there!

When I switch from banjo to classical guitar the guitar's fingerboard feels as wide as a highway...

Yea, you're right.

Nice waltz and nice job.  I'm always looking to add waltzes to my repertoire.  It appears that was written in A(?).  Have you transposed it for banjo?  If not, I think I will attempt to do so when I have a chance.

Here's what I came up with for a TAB (transposed to 'G') of Tim's discovery from "Howe's Instructor for the Guitar", c1851.  Perhaps he can tell us if I caught it with sufficient accuracy.

Ugh!  That didn't work.  I see the TAB in the SYRIAN WALTZ screen but not on the main page.

Can someone help me learn to send a visual?  I sent a JPG.  Should it be a PDF?

I would post it as a JPEG in the photo section.
