Hawaiian Recipe Style
Slack key guitar gets its name from the way the strings of the guitar are loosened, or “slacked”, from the standard tuning. “Kî hô 'alu” is the Hawaiian word for slack key which literally means “loosen the strings”. The thumb plays the bass while the other fingers play the melody and improvisation.
Slack Key Guitar Tunings
Many different tunings are produced in slack key guitar, usually containing a major chord or a chord with a major 7th note. A 6th note is often included as well. The different tunings produce lingering sounds behind the melody with a characteristic resonance.
Slack key guitarists often accompany hula dancing and singing using a steady, rhythmic, finger picking style. The guitar is tuned up or down to match the vocal range of the singer. The songs are typically played at medium tempo to the theme of love and nostalgia.
