Hawaiian Steel Guitar: Song by Song - Pt. 1 - Introduction

In this series I'll be teaching Hawaiian lap steel guitar, and showing you how to play the songs from the new album I've just made with my band The Volcano Brothers called "Light of the Hilo Moon". This first video is just an overview of the series, and I get into the instruments I used and the tunings they are in. The Volcano Brothers is a 5-piece band based in Nashville, playing and honoring the music of the titans of Hawaiian steel guitar, including Sol Hoʻopiʻi, King Bennie Nawahi, Sol K. Bright, Roy Smeck, Pale K. Lua, Jerry Byrd, and many more. The band features Steve Dawson on steel guitar and Nashville legends Fats Kaplin, Richard Bennett, Dave Jacques and Andy Reiss. Their debut album "Light of the Hilo Moon" comes out Sept. 25, 2026. The Volcano Brothers perform regularly around Nashville, and occasionally other places as well...
