At my guitar lesson on Saturday, my instructor (a classical guitarist who teaches fingerstyle and is teaching me Hawaiian Slack Key style) told me that he’s playing at a wedding for a friend of his in December and needed to start practicing to prepare for it. And then he surprised me by telling me that, since it was a Hawaiian-themed wedding, he was going to work on playing some Hawaiian Slack Key guitar music for it, and that I inspired him to do it!
You never know how Ki ho’alu will touch the hearts of others!!
Mahalo!

I've made one convert-- wore my friend down until he slacked those strings. It's all he plays now. |

Education is one tune at a time. "Classical" style is based on folk music, Taropatch tuning was documented in German lute tab 400 years ago. |

I've played slack key for people before, and they've made appreciative noises, but no one's ever started to learn to play it themselves.  |

I've played at a couple of weddings, but never slack-key. |
