Aloha Steve,
Welcome!
There is very little, almost no tab on the web for slack key. Your best bet is to go to the Learning section here and check out the books and videos. A few are purely tab; most are std. notation plus tab.
There are a few very easy pieces on the web. Go to this thread to get Patrick Landeza’a “Pilipuka”, http://www.taropatch.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=947
Here is a site with Hawaiian songs and chords; you’ll have to supply the slack key arrangement! http://www.burnthree.com/cgi-bin/disp.cgi?pid=sglist&sc=hm There is another site with midis for Hawaiian songs. With luck the midis match some of these lyrics.
Keola Beamer has one or two song tabs on his site.
Good luck. It is wonderful music.

Hi Steve,
Welcome. Also check this post: Two free online tabs/lessons from Keola
Or as Pauline mentioned the learning section here. For tabs, you should specifically see the Books forum. Our site is big on supporting the artists. A little support will come back your way tenfold. 
So where are you in NY? Manhattan? Upstate or somewhere in between? If in NYC, don't miss Ledward Kaapana and Bob Brozman at Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors free concert on 8/22 - 8pm.
Or George Kahumoku in South Hampton on 8/13. |

Wecome Steve...you didn't specify whether or not you're looking for free tab or you're willing to pay for it. As Pauline said, there isn't a lot of free tab available. There is, however, a wealth of materials available if you're willing to send a little money the author's/publisher's way. Check the books and videos section of TaroPatch.net for a comprehensive list and check below for a complete list of songs available (including links to a few free ones):

Welcome!
If you are first starting out, please check out Ozzie Kotani's book - with it's CD it gives a really great basic foundation.

| Steve, if you're looking for a basic introduction to slack key your best bet is Ozzie Kotani's book as Raymond says. With 15 years of guitar background you'll zip through the book but you'll quickly build a nice repertoire of more traditional pieces. If you're looking for something more challenging, look at Mark Hanson's book. If you've got the budget and want something in between, try volumes 2 and 3 of Ron Loo's material. |
