There doesn't seem to be any tab for "Pohakuloa" by Moses Kahumoku. Karl Monetti of this forum has written a rough transcription for part of it. I play something like it in G with the guitar tuned to G, Taro root tuning. Get the CD and listen to it until you are happily crazy. Hopefully, Moses will come back soon and grace us all again with his work.

Hi Mike,

Cool! This is the latest addition to my own repertoire too. What a beautiful song! I was just imagining it today as a duet, actually. I just play it in taro (no tabs). As far as correctness, I can't speak to that other than to say, when I play it, I try to honor the original composition accurately while not attempting to actually completely duplicate it to a perfect "t".

Also, I'm happy to announce my new website: www.dougfitchmusic.com

I hope you'll stop by. I look forward to hearing from you. When you're in Hawai'i, please look me up!

Aloha no,
Doug
