One of my favorite tunes, I based my version on one by Leonard Kwan. This performance was at Don Quixote's in Felton, CA, where I was opening for Ledward Kaapana on Sept. 10, 2007.
Sorry for the sound quality, this was recorded using the camera mic rather than a board feed.
A fun old Hawaiian song done in the slack key style learned from Mr. Ledward Kaapana. Led is one of the greatest guitarists in any style, and it's always a pleasure to hear him. This is my tribute to him.
"Ki Ho`alu" is both the name of the style and a common name for instrumental pieces, here is a version I learned from Uncle Ray Kane and Led Kaapana, played in Double Slack.
Just for fun, I tuned down three half steps from G to E, and dropped the middle string another half step for a double slack or Wahine tuning.
