Here's a little video put together from the Aloha International Steel Guitar Club's first kanikapila. This was their 25th anniversary convention, it was such an honor to be there:

Fred - I'm older than you and still taking lessons from Alan Akaka. When I'm on the mainland, I take my lessons via Skype. Check out Alan's school Ke Kula Mele: http://www.kekulamele.com/. Developing is not about how many tunes you play, but how you play 'em -touch and tone, ya know. Sounding Hawaiian is VERY subtile. most of us mainlanders know that we don't sound Hawaiian, but we don't know what to do to correct it. |
