The author writes, “Unless you grew up playing slack key, it’s hard to get from the material presented in most books and DVDs to a fluid, play-it-your-own-way style.” This book seeks to reveal the insights the author has gleaned from studying and jamming with some of the giants of the slack key style, and help you develop a style all your own. Techniques like syncopated bass lines, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and harmonics are tastefully employed to evoke the images of ocean breezes, swaying palms, hula dancers and white sandy beaches. Melodies are often harmonized in sixths or thirds played with or without double stops. This book presents 25 intermediate to advanced traditional and original tunes in the Hawaiian slack key style. While slack key can be played on any guitar, most players prefer a nylon- or steel-stringed acoustic instrument. Slack key is a fingerpicking style characterized by strong alternating bass lines played with the thumb. The Hawaiian word for slack key guitar, kī hō‛alu, means to “loosen the key” or retune some of the strings to create a harmonious sound with an open or alternate tuning.
