Album Notes

Here's an opportunity to learn the lovely and elegant guitar sounds of Hawai'i. Keola Beamer, a contemporary master of slack key guitar, provides the perfect introduction to this rich tradition.

Slack key can be played on any guitar, acoustic or electric. The term refers to both the musical style and the myriad ways the instrument is tuned. Keola teaches seven traditional tunings and original compositions in the special tunings used in slack key playing. In addition, you'll learn the use of vibrato, harmonics, slurs, harmonies in thirds and sixths, legato playing and other musical ideas that have helped create a distinctive guitar sound. This lush fingerpicking style will add new sounds and flavors to your entire repertoire.

Includes tablature and music. Run time: 80 minutes
