As you may have noticed, the dulcet sounds of the Hawaiian steel guitar are not as prevalent on the airwaves as they once were. Only a few short years ago it was easy to find Hawaiian steel guitar music on the radio, TV and in the movies. People heard the music, liked it, and wanted to learn how to play the instrument. Instruction on the Hawaiian steel guitar was easy to find in all the major cities of the world.
Lately, on the radio, on TV... well you know... do I have to elaborate? I didn't think so.
On Thursday evening October 11, 2007 at the HSGA Joliet convention Chris Kennison will offer a free seminar in beginning Hawaiian Steel guitar using the C6 tuning. Chris is an experienced steel guitar instructor. He is the steel guitarist for the Colorado based band "Book 'Em Danno" and most recently the steel guitarist for Doug Kershaw "The Ragin Cajun".
One of the goals of the HSGA is promoting the art of the steel guitar. By offering free classes we are in effect "growing our own" steel guitarists (and helping to keep the conventions and organization alive for years to come). ;)
