This week, Ira Sternberg spoke with Makana, performing in Myron’s at The Smith Center in “The Gift of Slack Key Guitar” April 29 at 7 p.m. In this episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Makana talks about how he was introduced to slack key guitar as a boy by his father; how his mother set the wheels in motion for his to learn slack key guitar from a master; what slack key guitar style is (and tuning to a chord); how he started playing gigs at 14; why some rock guitar musicians fall in love with slack key guitar; how he tours the world; and why he’s a story teller and loves to educate through his performances.
