Aloha TP-er's,
I'm trying to find anyone who may know the tab, can get the tab, or direct me where I can find the tab for this really neat song I just heard, and would like to learn how to play it.
The song name:Lonowai, and its by Robert Keli'ihoomalu Jr., This is featured as track 1 on the Slack Key Tradition CD.
I think its a wonderful song and would like to learn, soooo, if you know how I can get it....let me know or send it to me at my email?

It has a hammer on that sounds like maybe G wahine tuning.

If you are desperate enough to learn it that you are willing to go through some drudgery to create your own tab, it can be done even if you're as untalented as I am. Here's how:
Download a program such as Transcribe or Amazing Slow Downer that will slow down a recorded song without changing the pitch of the recording. Then, with your guitar in your lap and sitting in front of a desk with some blank tab paper in front of you, you can go through the song note by note if necessary, matching what you hear with your guitar and then writing it down until you have the whole song in tab. It's a drag but it works.
I have figured out tab for Makana's Ka Wailele O Nu'uanu, Uncle Dennis' Hilo Rag, Danny Carvalho's version of Hawaiian Soul and the adagio from Bach's Toccata in C Major to name a few. (I am also willing to share the results of all this work with anyone who gets the proper permission for me to pass it along, BTW.) So, you can have your tab - you just have to be really motivated.

| P.S. Much better to find it already worked out - I quite agree. |

Thanks MarkE,
I was hoping for tab already worked out. Surprisingly,I don't own a PC, (yeah-yeah, I know) but I can ask a friend of mine if they have 'Transcribe' or similar program thingy.

Rik,
It sounds a lot like Sonny Chillingworth's Malasadas. Mark Nelson has an arranged version of it for sale on his web site. It is in G Wahine [or Double Slack] (DGDF#BD). Start from Mark's tab and you can listen for the other variations. Other than getting Robert Keli'ihoomalu Jr. to hand you the tab or a video.

LOOKING FOR TAB
