I am more visual and learned watching two basic videos. 1. DVD-The Art Of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (1995)Starring: Keola Beamer Director: Happy Traum (you will learn the above song lick for lick): 2. The Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar of Ledward Kaapana Taught By: Bob Brozman, Ledward Kaapana Level: 3. You learn these two vids and your foundation will be solid and the songs you learn aren't junk. Good luck. Look forward to seeing your slack key vids soon. Johnny Pal
Kaiaokamalie - mahalo for taking the time to listen! We always appreciate your patronage. Hope you can figure out how to play the song with the tuning given. It is referred to as "Leonard's tuning" and is a "wahine" tuning as they call it. Post a video when you get it together! Mahalo, Johnny Pal
Ohhhhh Panchito, I know Johnny Pal has his hands full so I understand. I know I will like the Finished product "feeneshed product" ha ha ha! I see Johnny is not just a good singer , he is also a good comedian.
Thank you Panchito for keeping me posted.
Aloha to you Panchito , give my hello's and love to Johnny Pal.
Ha, ha, we are expecting great things for Panchito in the future. Presently, he is interested in posturing in all the videos. He plans to perform a duet in the future! That irritating cough finally went away. Updates comin soon. Mahalo EB/CP! Johnny Pal
Unfortunately Pancho is on the sauce again. I think the pressure of overnight fame is getting to him. That's why he just stares owl-eyed. Soon though, he is going to either do a solo or a duet. Perhaps you can encourage him. Johnny Pal
We're gettin nearer to Slim on that one. Gonna have to personalize the song since not everyone can reach that high Whitman falsetto! OK? Thanks, Johnny Pal
You geevum Uncle! Mahalo fo drop by. You got a lot of mana plus a lot of talent. You make da little buggas too! You sound very busy, good luck in all that you do. Johnny Pal

Hi Johnny Pal, Very enjoyable. You are quite a versatile musician. Wish I could play finger-style guitar, never could.

Older Hawaiian women adore this song and just love to dance the hula to it. Thanks, Panchito for Johnny Pal.

Yes, that is a high note to reach but that's ok your personal touch will do just fine. Faith in you is what I have. It will work out Johnny Pal.
Tell Pancho to get some rest when he is on the sauce. ha ha .
