As it is the most commonly used instrument in Bossa Nova, the Guitar stands at the very core of these 25 complete accompani­ments; they are performed in the style of legendary Bossa Nova Guitar players such as Gilberto Gil, Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Baden Powell, Antonio Carlos Jobim and many more. Wistfully swaying rhythms and subtle chords are adorning the pages of this coursebook - admittedly, intended for learning purposes, yet, without ever disregarding the pleasure of playing. The approach to be followed for the interpretation of these 25 musical pieces is illustrated in detail within the three preliminary chapters of this coursebook: fingerstyle techniques, rhythmsand chords specific to Bossa Nova are accurately and meticulously explained to you. In addition to this, the DVD shows you all 25 musical pieces at their full length and at two different tempi: first, for demonstration purposes, recorded at actual playing speed, then at a slower speed, in order to give you the opportunity to practice and overcome the upcoming difficulties. For its part, the MP3 CD allows you to practice the musical pieces by playing them along to backing tracks of a proper length - once again at two different tempi: at a slower speed for practicing and at actual speed for playing contextually appropriately.

Hawaiian, Saddle-stitched. Slack Key. Book and online audio. 96 pages. Mel Bay Publications, Inc #30666M. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.30666M).

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.
