@ Analysis: Measures 13-18I Measure 13 [see "Damping," p. 271Also in measure 13, notice once again the use of the thumb as a fretting finger. To make an easy changefrom the F to the D7 chord, simply slide the thumb of the fret hand from the first to the second fret,and lift the ring finger from the fourth string. The index and middle fingers remain where they are,holding common notes.In measure 14, the C chord is somewhat different from the Cchord we have encountered thus far. Can you guess why this particularbass note is used here? A hint: follow the stepwise motionof the bass part along the sixth string, beginning in measure 13.Getting good movement in the bass line is an important part of constructingtight ragtime solos.Also in measure 14, you can accomplish the transition to the Achord with relative ease simply by grabbing the half-barre formslightly in advance of the beat, as shown in Fig. 4B.Incidentally, you may remember a few measures ago we showedsome advantages to fretting only those notes of a chord that wereactually needed (Analysis: measure 12, p. 2 1). In measure 14, notall of the notes of the barred A chord are actually picked, yet inthis case, because of the ease in fretting, it makes sense to use thisform of the chord, rather than some "purer" one.!Fingerpicking style guitar continually presents you with such situations.In each case, your choice should be based on what you canplay easiest, while at the same time producing the best sound.\ /Fig. 4B. Anticipated chan e, usingthe half-barre A c ord.fAfter measure 16, follow the repeat sign back to the beginning, and repeat through measure15. Skip the first ending at measure 16 the second time; go instead to the secondending at measure 17, and finish the solo.1
