Guitar Playing Hawaiian Style: Solo pour Guitare

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.
