I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which tuning Led Ka'apana uses for Pu'ianahulu on the Force of Nature CD. If I can learn to play this, I can die and go to heaven.

| You got to look out for Led - he'll play anything in any old key. I've seen him play out of standard guitar tuning to songs associated with slack key. He has totally mastered the guitar. |

In Eddie Kamae's movie Ki Ho'alu, Ledward Kaapana tells the story that Uncle Fred Punahoa said to him that you can play slack key in standard tuning. When he asked Uncle Fred "How?" the reply was, "Just press the right strings."

So that's where "Jus press" came from?
I'd love to see the movie. Is it available?

My repetoire is competely in open G, Taro Patch Tuning, can play da kine and sounds good enough for me. I'm self taught so, lolo can do as good as lolo can!
Seriously though, I haven't heard Led's version. Since I am limited (for now) to G tuning, playing this song is smooth and effortless for me, try it! |

When Cyril was in Seattle last fall, he said that his dad, Atta and Sonny played Pu'uanahulu in C tunings, each his favorite i.e., Gabby's C ,Atta's C and Sonny's C. He showed them all to us.
