Best known as a founding member of the Swedish band Väsen (though he left the group in 2020) Roger Tallroth has developed a highly original style of playing, usually using a 12-string guitar tuned to A D A D A D. But Roger has also frequently uses tenor guitars and octave mandolins, and in this video, he plays his original composition “The Pearl Polska” on a Northfield Flat Top octave mandolin.
Peghead Nation instructor Joe K. Walsh recently taught “The Pearl Polska” in his Octave Mandolin course!
