I've never tabbed a song out before, but I created 'Isa Lei' in Taro Patch tuning. It's not all that great, but you can at least use it to figure out the song if you have a recording of it. For example, I've totally disregarded certain timing measurements. And the bass notes aren't completely timed right. I was using Power Tab Editor and I was tired of it 'beeping' at me.

I've wanted to learn this for awhile. So I just started to figure it out in G, since I didn't see one readily available in this tuning on the net and didn't feel like retuning to F Wahine or D Wahine.

So give it a looksee. Read the note at the top about formatting it so you can understand it. It took me a couple hours just to get this down, but if you think it's worth it, maybe I'll do another in the future. Remember, I was shooting for 'useable', not perfection

Also, and I doubt this, but if this looks familiar to anyone else's version, please let me know. Last thing I want to do is make it look like I've posted illegal tabs online.

When you get a moment, could you do me a favor and explain to me what I was just talking about?

Keith Marzullo tabbed this out a while back and posted a link to it. Do a search for "Isa Lei". You can hear him play it at

Thanks, Dusty!

And almost exactly one year ago today. Well, his certainly looks better than mine, but I'll leave it out there anyway. You can never have enough versions of certain songs, I always say :)

Greg, do you have a recording of yourself playing this? It makes it easier to follow the tab.

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can.

I will work on a recording tomorrow.

However, I have totally redone the transcription, and even though you still have to cut and paste it in Notepad (for formatting), it's almost completely accurate now, the way I play it. Looking back, that first one was a mess. This time I did it, with, you know, guitar in hand. Helps.

Cheers!

Craig, I put a real, real slow version of it up at http://www.mindspring.com/~rd2ruin/isaleitab.mp3

Funny, when I tried to play it this slower than normal (so it would be easier to follow the tab), I kept messing up more than I normally do.. a feat in itself. Is there anything more awkward sounding than forcing slack key to a certain speed?

It's under 1 meg, and I only did one each of the verse and chorus, just to give y'all an idea of how I'm playing it.

Cheers!
