Book with online audio. Want to play beautiful Hawaiian melodies on your 'ukulele? Now you can! Slack Key–Ho `alu–is a melodic, finger-picked guitar style created by Hawaiian paniolo in the mid-19th century, known as “Hawaiian soul music." It's only natural that some 'ukulele players in Hawaii would re-tune their instruments and play slack key style. Nothing sounds so sweet.

This book is both a course of study and a collection of great solo arrangements that start out easy and increase in difficulty. No matter if you are a dedicated beginner wanting to expand your playing or an advanced uke-a-banger looking for a new challenge, you'll find music to delight your fingers and stimulate your ear. Note/tab. 88 pp.


• Notes on the tunings, reading music and reading TAB

• Guided lessons help you develop your style

• Graded arrangements from easy to advanced

• Over 30 great arrangements

• Learn how to create your own slack key style arrangements of classic Hawaiian songs

• Playable on any ‘ukulele with a low G string
