The Hawaiian word for slack key guitar, kÄ« hōâ??alu, means to â??loosen the keyâ? or retune some of the strings to create a harmonious sound with an open or alternate tuning. Slack key is a fingerpicking style characterized by strong alternating bass lines played with the thumb. While slack key can be played on any guitar, most players prefer a nylon- or steel-stringed acoustic instrument.

This book presents 25 intermediate to advanced traditional and original tunes in the Hawaiian slack key style. Melodies are often harmonized in sixths or thirds played with or without double stops. Techniques like syncopated bass lines, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and harmonics are tastefully employed to evoke the images of ocean breezes, swaying palms, hula dancers and white sandy beaches.

The author writes, â??Unless you grew up playing slack key, itâ??s hard to get from the material presented in most books and DVDs to a fluid, play-it-your-own-way style.â? This book seeks to reveal the insights the author has gleaned from studying and jamming with some of the giants of the slack key style, and help you develop a style all your own.

Includes access to online audio tracks of all 25 relaxing but challenging Hawaiian slack key tunes.

Dedicated to and premiered by Petri Kumela, Pehr Henrik Nordgren's (1944-2008) Come da lontano for guitar (2003) carries ideas from Nordgren's previous work, Amor - desesperada op. 120 based on the youthful 20 poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada (1924) by Pablo Neruda. Scored for soprano, baritone, koto, shakuachi, and double bass, it was completed a few months before the work for solo guitar. Neruda came from Chile, and his language was Spanish. For the Japanese koto, a relative of the zither, Come da lontano has passages imitating a guitar. In the piece for solo guitar these passages have now returned home - from afar.
