wow. Beautiful. great technique. Very educational for me

[4sonicsanity]

Excellent technique, style and beautiful sound! You are a marvel to watch and listen to, in your progression to mastering the artistry of slack key music. Reminds me that I've so much yet to learn.

[SlackkeyHaole]

Was wondering what to ask Ozzie about learning next....guess I found it. May have to pick up this little Martin, too, for traveling. Nice sound. You playing through a mike hooked up to the computer? My little camera sound....well, it sucks.

[markwitz]

You have such a beautiful touch. Just masterful.

[slackkey808]

@markwitz thanks, but I still have a long way to go.

[Fireismyelement808]

what model of little martin is it?

[slackkey808]

@Fireismyelement808 Martin LX1E Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Costs about $350.00 at Island Guitars in Ward.

[Fireismyelement808]

what kind of guitar is that?

[slackkey808]

@Fireismyelement808 it's a Little Martin with a solid spruce top and a pickup.

[sanclementemike]

Brah you sound better and better everytime I hear you! your really hitting your stride now thanks so much for sharing, I am learning this song but you added so much more ......mahalo plenty M+

[salmonellaslack]

Very, very nice. I love that sound of the hammer ons in G wahine. Beautiful.

[slackkey808]

thanks, surprisingly, I just like that it has a slightly different sound as a whole :)

[sanclementemike]

Really nice kinda reminds me of uncle Ray ,,, or Schmood ma braddah,as 1 nice kine Hawaiian soun.

[slackkey808]

Thanks, my grandma said this song sounds kind of Latin like, which I think is what Uncle Sonny was going for :)

Man, that's really nice! Beautiful.

[slackkey808]

Thanks, I made sure to practice this one a lot before posting :)

[Hookani]

Hey Zack, nice one. Like it!!

[slackkey808]

Thanks Uncle Derek, hopefully I can make it to the next kanikapila, haven't seen everyone in a while

[wjc1952]

I like hear you on guitar and Alyssa on `ukulele. The best of the best of the new generation. So maybe when we come in August, we can get both of you guys to come kanikapila.

Me ke aloha,

Auntie Wanda

[slackkey808]

You'll have to talk to Alyssa about that one Auntie :)

[slackkeyohana]

(★o★)wow !　Excellent ! The small guitar(guitarlele) is good, too.

[slackkey808]

Mahalo, I'm not sure but I think a guitarlele is tuned up a bit, but this is just a mini guitar tuned to standard pitch (correct me if I'm wrong) :)

[MKurki]

Great playing!

It seems to me, that the best fingerstyle guitarists come from Hawaii at this moment.

I'm jealous :-)

[slackkey808]

Thanks, nah there's plenty of good fingerstylists everywhere, you just gotta find them :)

[slackkeybob]

Sweet! The small guitar works really well with the song too.

[slackkey808]

Mahalo, it is quite a nice sounding guitar regardless of its size.

[kekeozjo]

So nahenahe! Just beautiful

[slackkey808]

thanks :)

[wjc1952]

Very well-played, Zack. It is sweet, it is very true to Uncle Sonny, but it is also yours, with your own gentle imprint on it. K-den, send Auntie some malasadas from Leonard's Kapahulu. Mmmm. No matter the line is out the door, I can wait.

Mahalo for your beautiful music and for keeping it close to your heart.

Me ke aloha,

Auntie Wanda

[slackkey808]

Thanks Aunty Wanda, I guess you're right about me putting some of my own stuff in, but mostly I just played Uncle Sonny's way and through in some Uncle Led type stuff.

[slackkey808]

Sorry, but I don't know where you live and I think malasadas would go bad by the time they got to you :(

[kuro114]

awesome Zack!!!

[slackkey808]

Mahalo Brito, how's the slack key coming for you?

[kuro114]

awesome man i was so stoked that Uncle Duke sent me some tabs. I'm still going through Uncle Ozzies book, cause school is eating up my life, but I feel like I'm getting better. Thanks for all the encouragement!

[slackkey808]

you should post a vid soon

[kuro114]

haha yeah i need to figure out how to do that. prob gonna buy a mic for my comp since the one on my computer is broken. but I would love to share what i have learned so far!

[alyssamarie067]

awesome job! you always play so clean too, love it

[slackkey808]

Thanks Alyssa, I've been told I sound like a radio.

[ukulelefatman]

really great....mahalo

[slackkey808]

thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[hawaiiansweetroll]

Very nice! :D

[slackkey808]
