This review is from: DVD-The Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar of Ledward Kaapana (DVD)
This instructive DVD is great for beginning slack-key guitar players provided you already know your way around the instrument and have some experience with finger-picking (Travis or Cotton style). But someone who is new to the guitar is likely to find this DVD too advanced.
All four of the tunes taught are instrumentals. Three feature the most common slack-key tuning, Taro Patch in G (DGDGBD), and one is a Wahine G (DGDF#BD) in which the third string is lowered one-half step allowing some very nice sounding hammer-ons. The first tune demonstrated, Slack Key Lullaby, features a melody played on the first and third strings against an alternating bass line. Then in the second tune, Ku'u Ipo Onaona, the second string is added to the first and third to play the melody. Bob Brozman does a very good job as if a student himself, asking Uncle Led the right questions as well as pointing-out slack-key fundamentals and some of the cool ornaments that distinguish Led's style. Written tabs are included, but not needed as long as you're willing to do a lot of rewinding. This is the real deal. Mahalo to Led, Bob & producer Happy Traum.

This review is from: DVD-The Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar of Ledward Kaapana (DVD)
Hawaiian born and playing slack key taught to me by immediate family, Ledward Kaapana unselfishly shares secrets of his family playing style. The pace and content of the DVD is detailed and slow moving to allow the viewer to grasp the various techniques. The enclosed tab sheets are "priceless" and serve to refine the exemplified styles. This is pure traditional Hawaiian slack key by one of the best players in Hawaii. Much aloha to Bob Brozman and Led Kaapana for the production of a fine product. As Led says, "Jus' Press".
