Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (comes with a CD to help learn music)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Guitar Book & CD
Review: 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.
