Repertoire collection in three volumes with Evert Taube's finest songs with chord analysis (simpler and more advanced) and guitar arrangements notated in both tablature and sheet music. There are also separate solo arrangements for many of the songs. In the text comments, there is something about the history of the tunes taken from the later Taube research, as well as tips on how the accompaniment can be played on the guitar.

When Evert Taube made his debut in the 1920s, the use of the so-called Swedish visluta was very common and Taube treated it with gusto. He had a good knowledge of the medieval troubadour art, which in 1966 earned him an honorary doctorate in philosophy at the University of Gothenburg. For Evert Taube, the Provençal troubadour tradition was very much alive, a tradition that everyone should be able to share. Evert Taube also had a rare feeling for the poetry of the text and making it reverberate in melody and harmony. In his vis poetry, each line of verse is structured like a drama where each stanza is important and leads on to some kind of point. Likewise, the tunes invite new harmonic and playing technical solutions in the accompaniment through bass lines, chords in different inversions – thirds, fifths, and sevenths – as well as timbres and rhythms. This collection of repertoire aims to re-establish earlier accompaniment traditions and further develop these by utilizing general bass and contrapuntal guitar playing. It means a developed game based on chordal analysis, which also makes use of more modern harmonies, rhythms and improvisations.

These new fresh guitar arrangements are addressed to all Evert Taube lovers, but also to those who have not yet discovered his great treasure of wisdom.
