Product Description
(Fretted). The term "steel guitar" can refer to instruments with multiple tunings, 6 to 14 strings, and even multiple fretboards. To add even more confusion, the term "Hawaiian guitar" refers to an instrument played flat on the lap with a steel bar outside of Hawaii, but in Hawaii, it is the early term for the slack key guitar. Lorene Ruymar clears up the confusion in her new book that takes a look at Hawaiian music; the origin of the steel guitar and its spread throughout the world; Hawaiian playing styles, techniques and tunings; and more. Includes hundreds of photos, a foreword by Jerry Byrd, and a bibliography and suggested reading list.
Customer Reviews
Looking to read everything in print about National guitars , I came across this book . Atracted by the cover art and remembering that the first players of the new guitars were playing Hawaiian music . The author has an engaging style of writing . I found myself reading every page and enjoying the story of the music and the people who shared it with the world . The photos and written bits about the early Tricones were pleasant extras in a truely interesting book . Recomended . Lee.
