The Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Of Ledward Kaapana - VHS Video

Ledward Kaapana, widely acknowledged to be one of the most exciting and accomplished players in ki ho'alu, or slack key guitar style, has given us a lesson that will satisfy players who are novices, as well as those who consider themselves advanced players in the slack key style.
 
Led's two-finger and alternating bass thumb picking is reminiscent of the great blues and country guitarists, playing licks and turnarounds typical of Hawaiian tradition. He teaches instrumentals in "taro patch" (open G) and "wahine" (DGDF#BD) tunings, encompassing both quiet, beautiful melodies and rip-roaring show-stoppers with lightning-fast licks and fancy picking.
 
Slack key style is made up of simple chords and melodies, but an accomplished player then builds up improvised variations using interchangeable licks and turnarounds. Ledward provides all the elements for making arrangements in this style, showing how he achieves the special sounds (damping, bass runs, hammers, pull-offs, trills and other ornaments) that make each tune come alive.
 
With his friend and fellow musician Bob Brozman asking him pertinent questions, Led breaks down, in detail, some amazing instrumentals, including Slack Key Lullaby, Kuu Ip Onaona, E Lilli'u E and the spectacular Slack Key Medley.
 
80 minutes, VHS format.
 
This instructional video is in NTSC format, and will work only in U.S. and Canadian VCR's.
