Slack Key - Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua

A slack key instrumental version of an old Hawaiian song. I learned my way of playing this song from Kevin and Ikaika Brown of Maui.

Nice one, Fran. We're heading to Maui in two weeks and hoping to get in a lesson with Kevin.

Aloha,

Dave

@MrDaveGunter Dave, I certainly hope you'll be able to connect with Kevin. He's one of my favorite people in the world. If you see him, please give him my aloha.

Thanks, Jim. I'd love to visit the Austin hill country again. Where are you located?

Nicely done! DADF#AD??? I'm surprised you are not playing it on a Ukulele

[franguidry]

Sorry I missed your question - the tuning is open G DGDGBD - called taropatch tuning in Hawai`i.

I don't play much `ukulele.
