This is one of my haumana "JackSprat" who I met here last January. I have been sharing my kiho'alu mana'o with Tony since May of 2016 I believe. He has progress very well & I am very, very proud of him. He works really hard practicing & working on tabs I've gotten from Ozzie Kotani. I think you'll agree that he is now an advanced slack key guitarist. Some day soon I will take Tony to Ozzie's hale so Oz can meet another prospective ambassador of slack key that he inspired.
Duke, your vids are Gold and I never tire from watching them. I always enjoy when you showcase one of your students, and Tony is great! Keep up the great work guys.
Mahalo Bruddah Lee. You've always been a supporter of anything I did concerning kiho'alu.
I've shared videos of my haumana here on taropatch a couple of times in hopes that my students will inspire others here to pursue kiho'alu more regularly. And to demonstrate the level of play anyone can attain with persistance. My motivation in teaching slack key is to help perpetuate kiho'alu for future generations. One of my stipulations to my haumana is that somewhere down the line they will share the mana'o I gave them with at least one other person.
