Holla! Have you considered intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my mate lost lots of weight with it.
"Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me. "
Chet pretty much is IT on guitar. He was not a country guitarist, he was a guitarist.
He made an "instruction" DVD I recently watched. What a joke; he shows you how he does it, very slowly and carefully, but it doesn't mean you can do it. Very humbling...

So many informed pundits, yet no-one has bothered to point out that the misspelled title will most certainly result in lower views...daffydoug PLEASE edit the title.. It's HAWAIIAN..
I wish there was more of Chet playing slack key and with a whole hawaiian band or atleast a singer like Gabby Pahinui, it would have been too epic and the world would have exploded.
my uncle did the slack tunings. he was popular in the thirties and fortys. his name sol hoopii.I never met the man cause I was to young when he died. but you find more about him on the web
My dad taught me about Sol Hoopii. Dad started playing Hawaiian guitar back in the 40's which was quite rare in the UK back then but he taught me to play too as a young kid in the sixties but I haven't played it for years. Sol was dad's hero and I grew up loving his music too. Thanks for the memories!
This is awesome and yes, it is slack key whether or not the high E string is tuned to D or E.. THe alternating bass is largely essential in the style. Chet does add his own flair but does it so well.
And let me add that Hawaiian slack key is not a slide or lap style, it is the predecessor of steel guitar.
Slack key is a Hawaiian guitar style that uses alternate tunings (about 50 have been documented) and fingerpicking to play the most beautiful music in the world.
a hawaiian slack key is a tuning used mostly for hawaiian lap style playing on a guitar with raised strings. i forget what you tune to.. but i know its pretty weird the first time you give it a shot :P
Jack Baker, who is an expert on Chet's arrangements has a list of Chet's alternate tunings from all his albums and I'm reading it as i type. He documents that Chet used DGDGBE.
Whether he is correct or not, let me tell you this. I have been working solid on this arrangement for a good 16 hours or more, and using that tuning i've just about got the tune down pat, so I'm pretty convinced Jack is right.
I'm blown away! I'd heard of this guy, but never heard him play, though I do know the Rough Guide Hawaiian cd. If listening to this doesn't make you smile & tap your foot, you're beyond hope!
Hawaiian slack key guitar is a style of Hawaiian music based on retuning the guitar. This piece is Chet's interpretation of a famous slack key instrumental called "Opihi Moemoe" composed and recorded by Leonard Kwan, one of the most innovative slack key players. Sounds great, too!
Please stop by my YouTube page if you'd like to hear a little more slack key.

thats not open G though. if that E was tuned to a D, that would be open G. THAT is a slack key tuning, where as DGDGBD wouldnt be.
i never said DGDGBE was wrong. i said Open G was wrong, as its not a slack key tuning.

Chet was indeed a one man band. He could get more sound out of a single acoustic guitar than any man I've ever heard.
Also listen to his version of "Flop Eared Mule and other Favorites" on my channel, from the same album (Chet Atkins Alone)
