Play "Gärdebylåten" with a guitar twist

The most common fiddle tune in Scandinavian Folk Music.

" This tune is an excellent example of the exciting style of Nordic folk music, characterized by intricate melodies and driving rhythms.

I like playing it with an American touch adding some Western swing and bluegrass element.

In this video I also demonstrate the legato style that is common in Nordic music, applying hammer-ons and trills."
