“Beaumont Rag” was named after the town of Beaumont, Texas and likely originated from the town itself. First recorded in the 1920s by the East Texas Serenaders and Smith’s Garage Fiddle Band, it gained more momentum a decade later when recorded by Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys. These early recordings appear in the key of F, though now you will likely hear it in C or D. It’s The shift to C most likely occurred when Doc Watson added it to his set. Watson had already begun playing the tune when touring the folk scene in 1962 but his recording with Clarence White at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival made it decidedly a guitar tune. Should you run into any other keys for Beaumont Rag remember: No Capo for C, Capo 2 for D and Capo 5 for F.

This arrangement is two breaks full of syncopation, triplets, chromaticism, floating and of course, cross picking. But it also includes some techniques you might not expect like some jazz chord melody and even a classic swing tag at the end.
