mahalo. led kaapana told me, when I asked him if a non-hawaiian can play slack key: "yeah, anyone can as long as you play with your heart." and he tapped me on the chest. led kaapana is one of my favourite artists. check him out.
thanks! first part is my own song and is called magnolia slack key. the second part is one of the most famous old hawaiian tunes and steelguitar favorites, called maui chimes.
wow thanks!

Martin tenor ukes aren't easy to come by, even on e-bay. This one sounds beautiful even though it's 60 years old

Hi, I think the standard tuning for tenor is GCEA, same as a soprano. Not 100% sure.
