American waltzes are typically played on various instruments, including the piano, fiddle, accordion, and of course, the guitar. The genre was popular in the United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s, particularly in rural communities, and was often played at dances, parties, and other social events.
The book includes a selection of classic waltzes arranged specifically for the guitar, with tabs and chords for each song. Whether you are a seasoned player or a beginner, this book will help you develop your guitar skills and bring the joy of old-time American waltzes into your musical repertoire.
The waltzes used in this book were chosen from various old books of the most popular dance songs or waltzes from 1820 to 1880. The songs were transposed into D and G scales, popular in folk music, and arranged to correspond to the then and the current style of folk songs and dances.
