Written by a master of Hawaiian slack-key guitar, this text teaches the history, tunings, and other techniques found in slack-key guitar music. Because of the altered tunings in slack-key guitar music, all of the examples and exercises in this text have been written in tab only. Topics discussed are: right and left hand technique, alternating bass, slides, pull-offs, hammering, harmonics, and other slack-key related topics. Includes access to online audio containing recordings of nine exercises from the book which demonstrate these techniques with tunings . Beautiful black and white photos of native Hawaiian musicians are scattered throughout the text.
