One of the most accomplished slack key players offers a lesson for novices as well as advanced players. Ledward's two-finger and alternating bass thumb picking is reminiscent of the great blues and country guitarists. He teaches instrumentals in "taro patch" (open G) and "wahine" (DGDF#BD) tunings, plus all the elements for creating improvised variations including damping, bass runs, hammers, pull-offs, and other ornaments. Tunes include "Slack Key Lullaby," "Kuu Ipo Onaona," "E Lili'u E," and the spectacular "Slack Key Medley." Tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 80 min.
