Steel Guitar Events Tonight in Heraklion

About Steel Guitar

Steel guitar refers to a distinctive playing technique and family of instruments originating in Hawaii during the late 19th century, famously attributed to Joseph Kekuku. The genre is characterized by the use of a metal slide or tone bar moved across strings, typically on instruments like the lap steel, resonator, or pedal steel guitar. Musically, it is defined by its fluid portamento, rich vibrato, and sustained notes that create a soulful, gliding melodic line often set against moderate, swaying tempos. While it remains a pillar of traditional Hawaiian music and Western swing, its evocative, often melancholic tonality has made it an essential expressive component across country, blues, and early rock and roll.

Also known as: Hawaiian guitar, Kika kila
