the dead do some tunes that have rag feel,
but i am wondering about the sound of ragtime. It is pretty unique, does anyone have an explanation for what it is that makes rag sound different from say standard swing or other forms of jazz?
is it the time signatures alone and the use of instruments like the clarinet that make the sound or are there certain accents like in reggae where they are centered on the down beat?
i am still learning theory i get some basics but struggle with figuring out certain sounds like this.
