Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Lesson

[undathebridge]

this is awesome!

[exfed9]

I use Jam Play this is just an intro video not a lesson video.

[MrJoebrigante]

very intersting but... where is the lesson, you just talk...

[awesomnes01]

cool story bro

[andrew19vato]

what does slack key actually mean??

[wes4569]

Mahalo!

[thestraniero]

God! Shut up n' play your guitar!

[SlackKeyPaddy]

For those in the dark tuning to Taro Patch G 6th string D ; 5th string down to G, 4th remains the same , 3rd string remains a G, and the 2nd string remains B, and the 6th string is turning a whole step to d, so u have DGDGBD, now trying playing the video exercise given in the first part of the video. A great beginning exercise, easy to learn hard to master and this little ditty, also has the vamp in G. Lose the attitude! Ki Ho Alu is sacred; when played from the heart.

Aloha Puna Paddy

Hey, Mark's a mellow guy, just like the music. I clicked on the link of the uploader and searched their site on Mark Nelson. I found 45 multipark lessons, complete with chords, runs, tabs of the tunes, split screens showing a close-up of the fingerboard (and sometimes the right hand, too), and, yes, stories about the songs and slack key in general. Mark is one of the guys who has opened up slack key guitar to non-islanders. This was a teaser to get you to go to their site.

[drdeputy]

and 20 years later, right before you die, he says 'ok today we're going to actually pick up the guitar', but then starts another story, and you die.........

[zyxomma1]

was there going to be a lesson?

[TrynJune]

What tuning this is? is this in standard tuning?

[waiau4]

@TrynJune no its taro patch tuning DGDGBD

[ipathbomb92]

@Sleepyhead54 Agreed

[CalenCoffman]

Nice greenscreen...

[ChilledLemons]

No, they didnt want to teach you because you're WHITE. They want to keep it a tradition, something special.

[sandiago1904]

@ChilledLemons racist fuck

[matanuska92]

@ChilledLemons ...not all white people are ignorant to culture and you prove that all Lemons are sour...and racist.

[waiau4]

what you guys didnt get the lessons there were at least two song he taught, he didnt teach it step by step but he did teach a song just by playing, im 19 years old and i admit it took me 2 weeks to learn the songs he played.

[kman20022]

Racists? Yeah I guess if you wont play slack key with a guy cause he's white,,You're a racist! Imagine if a white guy wouldn't jam rock n roll with someone because of color.

[bogartroach]

Thank you Mark.

There is warmth, love and respect in you.

Respect for the origins of this wonderful musical style.

Sitting here in cold snowy Toronto, I am transported back to Hawaii by your playing.

All the best of luck in this new year.

Nice to see this guys passion for good music. He has a good heart and a beautiful sound.

And for the racists... what, you never heard of hanai family? There are plenty haoles aina raised and full of aloha spirit. Where's yours?

[waterdoggz]

What up wit you girl? Aloha spirit is made up promotional BS to sell the island to the tourist. Aloha Spirit my ass?

[LlanaG]

[waterdoggz]

Come on haloes Phil you no betta bruddah! We don't want no main landers on da island bra! No problem we use main land for whatever, money ,jobs, vacations, schools, opportunities. But we don't want no stinkin haloes here bra! Just think what our island would be like without USA....Paradise? No ( ice island owned the Japanese)

[waterdoggz]

Shit now the haloes are going to know our hawaiian music you jerk! We didn't want them on our island and they came, now you gave them our music! You see it's fine for us islanders to take advantage of the main-land and everything it has to offer, but they can't come to our island. Even thought we need there ice!
