I don't qualify as one for whom it's the primary genre, but I'm exploring it for sure and decided to chime in. I've taken a couple of classes with Patrick Landeza at the Swannanoa Gathering and one of...

My 0-18K's always in some "slack" tuning. Whatever guitar I've in hand will get slacked at some point though I'm not exclusively a "slacker".This weekend I'll give my elder son a CD I burnt for him...

Hey, Mr. V. I just started attending Slack Key guitar class in little Federal Way, WA (near Seattle) and picked up the Ozzie Kotani DVD. I am loving learning a whole new style. I sold a guy a Tacoma...

Above-mentioned son saw Fran G, Ledward, et al in Sta Cruz the other night. Phoned after, all excited. He'd spoken to Led after[knowing Led's my slack-key hero] and as you'd imagine, was treated...

Ahh Rich! That's why you were thinking Goodall!!! Goodall guitars are legendary for their sustain. With all of the slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs that are part of the signature sound of slack key,...

I'm another fan who loves to listen, but has barely dipped a toe in the water of slack key. Learned a tasty turn-around or two, that's it.It's hard for me to believe that there is anybody who loves...
