Aloha all -
I will be in Seattle the weekend of August 27 & 28th for the contiuation in my series of slack key guitar, `ukulele and Hawaiian-style dulcimer workshops at Dusty Strings.
http://www.dustystrings.com/shop/workshops.shtml
What will I be teaching?
Slack key guitar - two workshops, intro and not-so-intro, aimed at getting you up to speed with an emphasis on playing from the heart and by the seat of your pants. "Take one..."
Post a reply & let me know if you have anything specific you want to work on, otherwise I'll surprise you.
`Ukulele: Playing solo finger-style -- in other words, playing melody on the `ukulele. You should know basic chords.
Dulcimer - Hawaiian slack key arranged for the dulcimer. It's really, really pretty.
See you soon!
cheers,
Mark

E Mark -
I'm planning to be there on the 27th. What I hope to learn is some stuff to play behind other people in kanikapila. I only can play the pieces I know as I learned them. So I'm stuck when it comes to playing with others. I hope you can help with this.
Kia Orana,
Mark (E) |

Sounds like we are on the same wavelength. I'm planning on stressing improv, particularly in the 2nd one.

Mark's delightfuol CD "The Water is Wide," offers many examples of the beautiful combination of slack key guitar and dulcimer. I highly recommend it.

Thanks to everyone who attended the workshops -- I had a ball. Great to see some old friends and new faces. You guys are playing great!
Big time mahalos to Puna & Keonaona, & to Kory & Jack for the ripping jam session.

Mahalo,
