What is meant by Slack Key Guitar? |
[Edit] |
Answer
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack-key_guitar :
"Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawai‘i. Its name refers to its characteristic tuning: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hō‘alu, which means "loosen the [tuning] key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a classically-tuned guitar and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major."
