Ancestral Melodies - Finnish Folk Tunes (guitar tabs/sheet music)

Here's a wonderful new collection of Finnish folk tunes arranged for fingerstyle guitar! There are 25 traditional tunes included from all over Finland. I've presented these in standard notation along with tablature. This is one book in a series along with piano, ukulele, baritone ukulele, 5-string banjo, and treble clef lead sheets that all make up the Ancestral Melodies collection. There's a companion album you can download for free as well!
