Slack key-"Punahele"

Slack key legend Raymond Kane's signature tune Supposedly composed while at the beach watching the shore breaks. Played at a paced
somewhat like horse back riding to give it a
paniolo flavor. We like to call it toe
tapping slack key.

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. ;-)
