Slack Key

[sanclementemike]

is this standard tuning as Ledward says?

[slackkey808]

Yes it is, I think that's what throws many people off.

Okay, this is my favorite one! I'd always request that you'd play this during Expo. haha.

[slackkey808]

Indeed you would, although as my fellow slack key player Uncle Duke would say, this is technically not slack key, but still fun :)

Not Slack Key? Why? True, not nahenahe but it has the alternating rhythm and changed tuning. I have LK on cd playing this, you are pretty damn close. I have the desire to play but, sadly, no talent.

Thanks for the comment. Actually this is in standard tuning despite the name. It's what probably throws most people off if they're trying to learn it. There is a bit of an alternating bass, but not like "Radio Hula" or something.

thanks Brito, I've since modified this song a bit to match Uncle Led's way of playing it.
