Cotham and Jim,
Here is a note i posted on another subject that may help.
To all,
Just a note on another source of video instruction I have stumbled upon through this forum.. Since I first started posting in February, I have been asking for help with lessons here in North pole Alaska. Well, wouldn't you know it, i must be the only nut up here playing this music, so i have had to resort to begging from you americans. As luck would have it, Raymond Stovich has recently come up with his personal solution to the probelm; his own instructional video! As yo all know, Raymond is a great resource and is intensly interested in all things relating to Hawaiian music, as seen from his replying to nearly every topic imaginable!
I am not sure if he did this series of videos in response to my inquiry, or if he had it in the pot, stewing, readying it to serve up, but, after reviewing the first installment (there are to be 3 or 4 tapes total), I would recommend it to any beginner and it could probably help most of us at any level of play. This is no polished studio deal, yo get to see and hear Raymond, warts and all. Makes some mistakes, which makes me feel better (isn't it hard watching these guys who never seem to screw up At all???), but his renditions are simple, unadorned, easy to follow, and the tab he supplies, (done by Craig patchett, another great resource for anything) is nicely done and accurate. Just got the second volume today, will report back on that, as well.

And, I have recently pbtained two iSight cameras for my computer, one for me, one to send to an in structor who can then teach me in real time as we interact with eachother. Haven;'t tried it yet, but it should work,
Karl
ps, the Stovich videos are priced very reasonably. Contact Raymond via taropatch.net to find out. |

Would anyone be interested in a workshop over in Houston one day? Focus would be on Old Style Slack Key, in the style of Raymond Kane.
