Landslög - Album

Landslög (landscapes) is a set of 11 pieces for solo guitar drawing inspiration from Icelandic landscapes. The pieces aren’t really connected in any way, one advantage of that is that each one can stand on it’s own as a piece of music and the landscapes can also be played together in any fashion.

You can purchase the scores, now with tablature as well! As well as a version with enlarged scores that some had asked for here!
