Landler Guitar Pro

The Landler is a folk dance in 3/4 time which was popular in Austria, Bavaria, German Switzerland, and Slovenia at the end of the 18th century. It is a partner dance which strongly features hopping and stamping. It might be purely instrumental or have a vocal part, sometimes featuring yodeling. When dance halls became popular in Europe in the 19th century, the Landler was made quicker and more elegant, and the men shed the hobnail boots which they wore to dance it. Along with a number of other folk dances from Germany and Bohemia, it is thought to have contributed to the evolution of the waltz. This arrangement was originally made by the Soviet guitarist and guitar teacher Pavel Veshchitsky for the Russian seven-string guitar (the book "Guitarist's repertoire. The seven-string guitar". Moscow, "Soviet composer" Publishing House, 1972, page 20), but it is easily played on a classical guitar from a lowered to D note sixth string. In this case, both of these options are presented in two tracks of this tab. The Russian guitar (sometimes referred to as a "Gypsy guitar") is an acoustic seven-string guitar that was developed in Russia toward the end of the 18th century: it shares most of its organological features with the Spanish guitar, although some historians insist on English guitar ascendancy. These guitars are most commonly tuned to an open G chord as follows: D2 G2 B2 D3 G3 B3 D4.
