You guys take my heart back to the place that the rest of me needs to be. And yeah, da pace. True paniolo slack key. Getting there, no need hurry them up. Getting there, getting there...
Gotta special tip for you guys: GET OFF THE CORN SYRUP!!!! Den you come skinny again. Long time ago, I grew up in Kentucky, everybody skinny. Nowadays, everybody eat, drink CORN SYRUP! Come all over weight.
Hey,! Love your playing -- listen to it often. But, a couple comments, constructive, I hope. One, The turning on this one seems a little rough, but more importantly, I find the balance is better withe the guitar up front and the uke behind -- the uke in front tends to mask and "muddy" the guitar melody line. Still, some of the most enjoyable music on line -- thanks a bunch and please, keep it up !
Constructive criticism is also appreciated. I agree with both your points G Wahine ( tuning used) has only the 3rd string tuned down 1/2 step as the difference between it & Taropatch. I normally just tune that string by ear & if I miss it by a fraction sharp or flat it screws the whole tuning. Didn't help that I seemed to miss all the harmonics on this take too. We settled on the guitar in the backgroud so the viewers could see the fretboard for learning purposes. Thank you for your input. ;-)
Been enjoying your music on a slack key playlist for the last week or so. Great tunes and great sound quality on the vids too. Thanks! -An Oregonian in Belgium
Wow hello from the other side of the planet. Great to hear that you've found enjoyment in this art form we're trying to represent. Thank you for your kind words. It makes sharing the music so much more rewarding.
you guyz remind me of my kuku, and my uncles, no facial expression, but some awesome jamming, and some gooddd soundss, I just happen to check this site out, and I glad I did! you two-bradda's are awesome together!!
I sort of "attempt" to play Ki ho'alu. Mostly in open G but I'm starting to branch out to other tunings. I've played rock guitar for over 25 years now. This slack key geetar really has opened my ears. In fact, it's all I really play anymore. That and ukulele. I met Dennis Kamakahi once at the airport and he was just so nice and down to earth...I've been really digging Ray Kane lately (RIP). What an incredible musician!

Mahalo much for the cool comment. As for the
bass run, I've always played it like that.
Only now I realize it might actually belong
in Aunty Alice Namakalua's "14 Measures"
