| | Slack-key guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Slack key guitar, or Kī hō‘alu in Hawaiian, is a style of music originating in Hawaii using an acoustic guitar fingerpicking style. | | | Slack key guitar relies on numerous different tunings, with some tunings only commonly used for a single song, or by particular players. | | | The music didn't receive a national American audience during the Hawaiian music craze of the early 20th century, and outside of Hawaii, Hawaiian music came to be identified with steel guitar and ukulele. |

| | A Brief History of Slack Key Guitar |
| | Hawaiian slack key guitar (ki ho'alu) is truly one of the great acoustic guitar traditions in the world. | | | Slack key guitar music is sweet and soulful, and it is said that slack key is drawn from the heart and soul out through the fingers of each player. | | | Some Hawaiian steel guitar tunings (and thus, some of the Mainland steel guitar tunings) evolved from slack key tunings, especially the G Major tuning for the dobro and lap steel guitar, and the C Major 6th tuning (similar to the C Mauna Loa tuning) for the pedal steel guitar. |

| | He is a master of slack-key guitar and plays with great respect for the music. | | | In the opening piece, he created dynamic melodic and percussive effects by using different parts of his hand to hit, slap, pick and strum the strings and the fret board, while chanting a hypnotic vocal proving he, like his fellow tour members, is a master of the genre. | | | On his recent album, Hawaiian Love Songs, it is a rollicking duet with steel guitar player Bob Brozman; here he approached it in a more minimalist way, mellower on guitar and almost a talking blues on vocals. |
