Slack key instrumental version of an old Hawaiian song - "Kaleponi." This song is the title track from my CD.

Kaleponi is the Hawaiian name for California.

I just found out about Slack Key guitar, I have to learn this style of music, by the way, love your sound.

Thanks

Thanks for the comment. To learn slack key, find a book or DVD by Ozzie Kotani. He does a wonderful job of breaking down the style while being very authentic.

Very nice playing.

What tuning is this?

Thanks!

[franguidry]

This is the tuning called "taropatch" by Hawaiian players. It's commonly known as open G - DGDGBD from low pitched string to high pitched.
