DESCRIPTION:
"Primary benefit is the music/tabs included" according to DWPC. This book is a small collection of slack key tunes transcribed by the author, and that's its real value. It's not much on instructions or technique. I liked the inclusion of std notation and tabs together; for those who read music it provides a little more foundation. Only those techniques needed for the tunes in the book get minimal explanation. This book is for those fairly proficient on guitar; it wouldn't very effective for use by guitar novices. The CD has audio of each song in the book played at normal speed, plus a brief portion played slowly for clarity. The few exercises on the CD are lum. "Hawaiian slack key essentials" according to GB. This is a must have if you already know some fingerstyle basics, and want to dig into this style.It is a beautifully done collection, with some of the best players of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitarand you get to work on and study versions as they were recorded with exact transcriptions.Open G, G wahine, D and C tunings and others are covered in songs, and these give you a "fast immersion" study into work of several artists.Great cover and "readability"--transcriptions are clear, and there's a recording to help!includes tab and music notation for better understanding for different types of learners.I al. Kuahiwi said Love It!. I've only been playing for a few months and found that my main resource, YouTube, didn't really have much to offer on Slack Key. I decided to purchase this book due to the positive feedback and am glad that I did. The tabs are easy to read and the bonus CD is awesome. It covers the short lesson/exercises and plays the songs in 'slow' and 'at tempo'. Listening to the CD along with the tabs makes learning much more successful. If you love the sound of slack-key and want to give it a whirl, I recommend this book.
