Gabby Pahinui was one of the greatest slack key guitarists. For those of you who don’t know what a slack key guitar is,it is a fingerstyle genre, with it`s unique tuning, slack tuning, lower than regular tuning, usually to achieve a chord by hitting the six strings (open). I had heard a track Hawaiian Gabby Pahinui recorded with an admirer of his, Ry Cooder. Gabby was a master of steel guitar as well. Listen to this 2 monsters duet, listen to the feel of this old Hawaiin song Moani Ke`ala – this is with his Hawaiian band.
