Episode 50: Roger Tallroth

There's no better way to reach our 50th episode than with the third and final member of Väsen, legendary 12-string guitarist Roger Tallroth. Roger has developed his own style, sound and tuning for playing Swedish music on the 12-string guitar and has composed some of the most popular melodies played by fiddlers around the world, including Josephine's Waltz. He chats with Neil about how the limitations of acoustic traditional music can inspire more creativity and about his own journey with folk music, beginning midsummer’s day, 1979 at 2:15pm.
