Keola Beamer - The Art Of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar - DVD
The beauty and elegance of Hawaiian slack key guitar is becoming increasingly popular and Keola Beamer, one of the contemporary masters of the style, provides the perfect introduction to this music! His lush fingerpicking and evocative songs will add new sounds and flavors to your repertoire. Keola has chosen seven traditional and original compositions to give you an overview of this style. He has skillfully organized the tunes in order of difficulty for the benefit of players who are new to this genre. You'll learn the techniques that give Hawaiian slack key guitar its distinctive sound: vibrato, harmonics, slurs, harmonies in thirds and sixths, legato playing and a variety of alternate open tunings that will be useful in this and many other styles. Here are the beautiful instrumentals you'll be playing in the slack key style: "Kuu Lei Awapuni Melemele (My Yellow Ginger Lei), Kalena Kai (Bath House), A Grandmother's Wish, Manu Kai (Sea Birds), Sanoe, Makika (The Mosquito), He Punahele (The Favorite Child)".
