Recommend me a nice Hawaiian Slack Key Instrumental

[Prizen]

Hey all

Been busy lately, but trying to get back into things, one short term goal is to learn a nice Hawaiian tune. (in Open G tuning, I guess).

Any recommendations for some nice tunes, perhaps that are catchy and would go down well with most people?

Thanks!

Hi'lawe is a Slack Key standard. There are better versions out there, but here is mine:

Tuning is "Drop C", but is very close to Open G. Tune to Open G, then drop your 6 down again from D to C.

Tab for this came from Patrick Landeza and was featured in Acoustic Guitar Magazine. I'll have to look up which issue it was.

Hope that helps,
Gary

FYI,

I found the mag with the Tab. It is Acoustic Guitar from April 2010. Not sure of the legalities of posting or sharing that here, but suspect it is a no-no.
