Ki Ho'alu, translating literally from the Hawaiian as "loosen the key," indicating the tuning in slack key guitar technique, is a musical tradition dating back to 19th century paniolo who played around the campfire after completing a day of ranch work.
Slack key has become known as one of the world's great acoustic guitar methods, especially since the Grammy Awards at one time recognized Hawaiian music as a category all its own.
