The 1st lesson was an introduction to the tuning D G D E B D
The 2nd lesson was the first two verses of the melody Maori Brown eyes
Lesson 3 <-click to download
Whole Song <-click to download
This lesson is the 3rd and final verse of the song.
I know I mentioned 2 lessons but it turned out to be 3.
By the way Mikaela and I have been morse codeing, back and forth the past few weeks, he is going to tab this entire melody and post it somewhere and will provide instructions to access it.
He does a very good job with his tabbing.
Here's the final verse
1. Barr the C chord (5th fret) then pinch strings 5 & 1, then 4 & 2
(3 times ea)
2. Still in the Barred C chord, in addition, place the little finger
on the 7th fret, 1st string then pinch 5 & 1, then 4 & 2, 3 times
ea.
3. With the little finger slide it to the 8th fret, then pick that
string.
4. Then slide up again to the 9th fret 1st string and repeat
the 5 & 1 and 4 & 2 pinch routine 3 times.
5. Then slide back to the G chord 1st string 5th fret, and repeat
the 5 & 1 and 4 & 2 pinch routine 3 times again.
6. Repeat steps 1, through 5 then go to step 7
7. In the open strings pinch 5 & 1 and 4 & 2, 3 times ea.
8. Hold the A7 or A, chord Barring the 2nd fret, pinch 5 & 2 and 5 &
3, 3 times ea, quickly
9 Place your left index finger on the 1st fret 2nd string and
immediately pinch strings 6 & 2 then pinch 4 & 1
10. Then Place the little finger on the 1st string 4th fret, pinching
4 & 1 again, sliding again to the 9th fret, while pinching 6 & 1
and 4,3,4,3,4 w thumb, then slide back to the 7th fret pinching
6 & 1 again
11. Now slide back to the 5th fret, 1st string (G chord) pinching
5 & 1 then thumb pick 4,3,4,3,4, 5,4,3,4,3,4 then
Repeat 10 and 11
Then roll strings with thumb, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and stop.
End of song.
Practice all parts until you can do it smoothly throughout the song.
Good luck.

Uncle Mahi,
I will work on the Tab for Lesson 3. I just emailed the PDF files for the tablature for Lessons 1 and 2. With your approval, Andy will post on this web site. Thank you for the kind words.
Nancy was at a kanika"Pilsner" -- yes beer was involved, with us last weekend. I forgot to bring the MBE tablature and play it for her. She recorded some of our other songs on her iPod.
Mahalo Nui Loa for your gift of song to us. |

| I played Uncle Mahi's version at an Open Mike last night. It turned out pretty well. Maybe I should sing with it next time -- beware! |
