Hawaiian Steel Guitar Classics: 1927-1938

A steel guitar, broadly defined, is any guitar played while moving a steel bar or similar hard object against plucked strings. This style of playing guitar arose in the Hawaiian Islands in the 1890s and then, through the development of phonograph players and records, became accessible around the United States and the world. This collection of music played using the Hawaiian steel guitar technique reflects the popular appeal of the music during the 1920s and ʼ30s.
