Very nice



[RequiemSoup]

I wanna learn slack key. It'll make me feel a little more in-touch with my heritage.

[H82c3G]

Sound's great. Led will be presented with a National Heritage Award this year.

[daytonclint]

@H82c3G

Led totally deserves it! Not only is he extremely talented, his humility makes him even more Amazing. What an Awesome guy!

Dayton

[steviemack9]

@daytonclint Wish I did live there. I would sign up for lesson. I also would stay more warm then , as I am in WI. is way cold here. I go to FL. for winter , but still not as nice as there. Hope to visit an old Air Force braddah , in June or July. He stay Hilo all his life. You ever get to big island?

Aloha,

stevie

[mauibg]

Frikin nice man! Great job; love the personal touches; very impressive!

[SkipElliottBowman]

This is more than learning a song. You are playing the music, and you have your own thing in it too. Plus, you make it look so easy!!

[musubiman2]

good one bro wat tuneing is this?

[Bigerjoel]

Nice ! Beautiful ! Great job ! Thanks for this good moment with you and your guitar ...

[TheDeexster]

'Beautiful' is an overused term, but in this case it definitely applies. You have effortlessly lifted my spirits, and I'm sure that's what the composer intended.(Ledward Kaapana, you said? I'll have to check him out.)

Keep playing from the heart, young man. You have discovered the essence of music!

[imuahawaii808]

Haha, got tabs???

[pcking210]

[hochbob]

You have done Ledward more than proud. Outstanding!!

[awfulguitarnoises]

[daytonclint]

To be compared to Ledward is a huge compliment. He is one of the all time Greatest Slack Key musicians out there. He is one of the Greatest musicians period! If I become even one tenth as good as him I'll be a happy guy.

Mahalo

And I'm on a snowy island off the west coast of Canada, as well. This was a beautiful start to my day. Thanks for such gentle and melodic music.

[bogartroach]

Thank you Dayton.

I listen to this in cold snowy Toronto and, in my mind, I'm transported to Maui.

WOW-EE.

All the best to you. : )

[waterdoggz]

[Josephdorf03]

Damn, I remember people talking like that when I went to hawaii. Slang is awesome.

[Jamesbamba]

[sipmeistah]

[Winnemac07]

I'd never really heard slack key before. You're a really talented player. This reminds me a lot of the piedmont-style blues I play. Do you use an open G tuning?

[huka2008]

You've got some mad slack key skills. Beautiful!

[daytonclint]

Thanks! I've got a bunch of other Slack Key vids too.

Aloha,

Dayton

[sk8er9al]

Kuuipo means Sweetheart :D

[Idyahoo1]

What means the title ?

[calypsojoe]

S-W-E-E-T !!!

[bostonkingi]

Excellent,Absolutely ..You are very talented ..cheers from NZ ..

[slackkey808]

i think kononami is talking about off timing at that one high part. then again i think that part is ridiculously hard. also kononami is a douchebag who has a video of a car (that's the only video they posted, no guitar, uke, anything. if you're going to criticize, i agree with kaimanaz about you posting a video of you playing the song).

[R1ent]

knobbs=sweeeetness. damn kid you've been putting some time into that bad boi. we can play a duet a the restraunt. ill start with my dog has fleeeeeezzee.

[kaimanaz]

To Kononami, please youtube your version so we can see how its supposed to be done. Awesome Clint!!!!!

[XXEmmaXXLeighXX]

Real pretty catchy tune, listened the other day but I was unable to post a comment, I've never heard of slack key guitar before, my mum says close ur eyes and ur whisked off to warm sands and palms dreams, very nice indeed. 5*. Hugz. Emma.xXx

[kononami]

looks nice but do you know or have been taught timing? kinda off so just work on it little more

[okalanikane]

cool dude!

[Okejee]

Thanks for posting this video.

Very enjoyable!

[johnhi00]

Excellent!!! Impeccable Performance. 5 Stars.
