 Excellent Guitar Book & CD August 6, 2001
24 out of 24 found this review helpful
This is, simply put, a great book. The layout, selections of music, tab, and explanations are all outstanding. This is a superb book from which to learn this beautiful and fun-to-play style of music. The transcriptions are accurate, and there is something here, I think, for guitarists of varying abilities. This book is true to form with Hanson's other guitar books -- his tab and music transcriptions are very understandable and clearly printed. I can't say enough good things about this book. There are selections here from Sonny Chillingworth, Ray Kane, Leonard Kwan, Led Kaapana, Cyril Pahinui, and others. I have the Masters of Slack Key Guitar (Vol. 1 -- great disk) from Dancing Cat Records, and thanks to this book, I now have the music to some of these selections. Again, a great resource for those interested in learning some Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar music. I regularly browse the fingerstyle guitar books at local music shops, and I find Hansons work to be among the very best. I recommend this without reservation.

If you play classical style guitar and maybe your music reading skills are not so good, this is a great book. The CD gets you going with the rhythm and the TAB notation makes it easy to find the fingering. That said, it is not a begining book; the music is transcribed pretty close to what you hear from the greats.

First, let me say that the Hawaiian slack key community is the most open group of artists around. In order to preserve and spread Aloha through slack key guitar, the pro's very willingly share what they know with the rest of us amateurs. That being said, Mark Hanson gives you all the knowledge you need to play numerous songs in this excellent book and CD. I find the tablatures very easy to understand, and the CD tracks easy to follow. Both are true to the music as written. Add your own skill and interpretation, and you'll be playing in front of others in no time!
Hawaiian slack key essentials... January 23, 2010

This is a must have if you already know some fingerstyle basics, and want to dig into this style.
It is a beautifully done collection, with some of the best players of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar...and you get to work on and study versions as they were recorded with exact transcriptions.
Open G, G wahine, D and C tunings and others are covered in songs, and these give you a "fast immersion" study into work of several artists.
Great cover and "readability"--transcriptions are clear, and there's a recording to help!
includes tab and music notation for better understanding for different types of learners.
I also recommend Ozzie Kotani's book I for those who are just getting their fingers
"educated" and needing familiarity with some easier Hawaiian slack key training wheels.

The book contains several nice pieces to play on the guitar. More importantly, it gives you enough knowlege to conceptially create your own hawaiian pieces.
