One
of Jeff's co-worker asked me a few months ago if I play the guitar. I
have a 6 string and a 12 string guitar which I have not played for a
while. I mean a while because since I have been here which is about 3
years ago, I must have played it six times. Although I can still
remember a lot of the chords, my strumming and transposition is all
off. This past weekend, Jeff turned on the TV and found the internet
site for guitar chords/tabs. It was really neat to have the chords and
words of a particular song shown in the big screen. Anyway, going back
to slack key style of playing. There's a group of people that gets
together once a month and Les (Jeff's co worker) teaches the group on
slack key guitar and ukelele as well. I had to check it on you tube to
see what it was all about. The style of playing is very Hawaiian but
sounds so pleasant to the ear. If you have not heard about it, you can
just check it out on line. I have been invited to join his group the
next time they get together. Maybe I need to try it at home and
practice a little. Some of the information I had received from Les are a
bit complicated to just try it out. Even with my knowledge on guitar
playing, this one is much more difficult specially when my fingers are
not use to pressing those strings. The more I watch all these lesson, it seems to get more confusing. Maybe I'll just stick to what I know.
