[aclem2004]

very nice, dp. if it's not a secret, what tuning are you using?

[doublepenetrator]

ah! you are truly familiar with the hawaiian slack key tradition. well, there is no secret to this at all as it was revealed to me from a tab by Keola Beamer. I think it's Wahini tuning or maybe the drop F tuning. But it's all about playing with choke of Aloha. that's th SECRET! LOL. thanks.

Hello Musta na! Nice playing guitar pero this is a Fijian Song hindi si Keola Beamer ang ng compose nito! I love it though! Peace!

[doublepenetrator]

sorry for the mistake. thanks for the correction though. I really thought Beamer composed this. but either way, this is a nice song. thanks

[lolomalewa7]

Bula Vinaka! Sa vaka cava tiko? It's no worries! You are a really great guitar player. Take care of yourself. Moce vinaka! Mahalo, Salamat and Moce (Fijian). Peace.

[doublepenetrator]

hey bro. where are you from? I really miss all my fijian friends in hawaii. I hope you know some of them. Are you fijian too? do you by chance know David Young, Eile(pronounced as Eyele) I cant' spell it.

[lolomalewa7]

Oh hahaha... I am girl lol. It's okay. I am not Fijian but I lived there for 4 months and learned the language. I am actually Filipina-American. I am sorry I don't think I know them. Sorry! my name here on youtube actually lady/girl love 7; loloma: love and lewa means girl or lady. So yah.

[doublepenetrator]

Aw! i'm sorry about that. i have no idea that you are a girl. My apologies. I just got really excited to see someone that knows something about Polynesia. But that's cool that you're Filipina-American. Where do you live now?

[lolomalewa7]

No worries. I would have been the same way its okay as they say in Fiji sega na leqa... No worries. I live in California born and raised here. But plan on going back to Fiji! I just love it there so much! It is soooo beautiful and I love the people, the environment and the lifestyle. Where do you live now? So where did you live in the Pacific Islands before?
