I purchased their Waimaka Helelei album as mp3's (downloadable) so don't have liner notes.
Can anyone tell me the tuning for Nai'a Kulapa?

| I believe Andy is correct. It's Taropatch capoed to up to A at the 2nd fret. Pretty simple tune that shouldn't give you much trouble to figure out Jim. A little tip: Lots of times you can figure out what the tuning is by the harmonics/chimes. |

| Another trick is to listen to the bass strings and listen to the right thumb. |

Sorry - it's not Taro Patch capo'd up to the second fret. The base line does not support that supposition. It seems closer to standard tuning, but I'm not sure about that one (don't play in it, but the base line uses that part of the tuning).
Maybe I'm way off - thanks.

I am sitting with guitar in hand this time and still hear taropatch with capo on the 2nd fret. We are talking track 10, right?

| The bass line fits right in with Taropatch capoed up to Amaj at the 2nd fret. The song starts out in A with the bass alternating 5-4-5-4-5-4 etc then you barre the 5th fret from the capo using the same 5-4-5-4-5-4 alternating bass. Back to the root chord & again 5-4-5-4 etc. Next you fret the D shape & use a 6-4-6-4-6-4 alternating bass. Very very simple song. |

Sorry Andy and Duke, I know it's only Thursday and tomorrow is da weekly bath day (whether you need'em or not), but clean da wax out of your ears--it's Taropatch capoed up to the 4th fret not the 2nd. Oh, wait a minute, I'm in Taropatch F... Never mind! It's a nice song to play along with and experiment with your own variations. It's easy to do for the first 55 seconds and then I get lost (maybe it's because that's when the free snippet on their website is pau). No wonder my Pake slack key sounds like it is made up of fragments of various songs.
Aloha,
Doug |

Whoa! Sorry, wrong track - my bad. Yes, that one is Taro patch capo'd to A. Like that one a lot also.
For the life of me, the song I was trying to play just wouldn't fit Taro Patch A. Mea culpa. |

Mahalo all for your interest in my song! I'm honored :-)
It is indeed taro patch capo 2. Originally it was open G, but after trying it in A it was clear that the brighter key better evoked the dolphins that inspired the song.
Malama Pono,
