The Lion Tamer Rag(1913)..Mark Janza aka Albert Frederick Marzian.

[Steve Harrison]

This is a real tour de force of a tune and definitely one for the banjo pickers and those with a strong constitution. It's described as a 'Syncopated  Fantasia'. If this doesn't warm up your fingers then nothing will!.

There are a number of 4 octave descending arpeggios on the piano score which couldn't be played on the banjo. I got round this by doubling back in 6ths and fitting it all into 2 octaves.

I've worked out what I think is the most efficient fingering and added plenty of fret numbers and position indicators. It's a great tune and well worth a listen, the score and midi are in the library....Steve
