5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Genius, July 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: King of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar (Audio CD)
Sol Hoopii is unchallenged when it comes to the Hawaiian Steel Guitar. Trust me this is not a "Readers Digest" version of Hawaiian Music. Sol Hoopii is the real thing. This CD is a must for the genuine Hawaiian Music lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Picking Hand of All Time, January 16, 2012
This review is from: King of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar (Audio CD)
Sol Hoopii is regarded as the foremost Hawaiian steel guitarist ever. No other steel guitar player has been emulated more around the world than Hoopii. He is considered a genius and possibly has the greatest picking hand of all time. His speed and dexterity have rarely been duplicated. He was known for his improvised blues like melodic ornaments, fast runs, syncopated rhythms, and various sound effects in chording and plucking. This recording represents his finest work from 1927 - 1936. Track 7, KA MELE OKU U PU UWAI is featured in the film score and soundtrack The Descendants, starring George Clooney. The Descendants is the first mainstream American movie scored exclusively with Hawaiian music, most of it created by acknowledged masters of the genre, both modern and classical. The filmmakers sought to make a movie with a distinctly Hawaiian flavor, and the music was a crucial component. It serves as an eye-opening introduction to some of Hawaiian music's greatest and most essential artists. Sol Hoopii is one of those greatest and most essential artists.
