Story behind the song
This is currently the only slack key song I can play all the way through! The title means "sound of slack key" and is the first song in Ozzie Kotani's wonderful book, "Guitar Playing Hawaiian Style." I still need to work on this piece, especially in the third section, but I wanted to share my progress so far with other members of TaroPatch.net. Incidentally, the rain was originally added to mask an annoying hiss that got picked up in the recording! Also, I was experimenting with the bass by playing without a pick but it ended up sounding a little too muted. Tuning: Taro Patch (DGDGBD)
