Here is my take on Keola Beamer's beautiful slack key guitar tune "E =
Ku'u Morning Dew." I learned this from Keola's CD Moe'uhane Kika "Tales =
from the Dream Guitar." The tab includes the main theme and the first =
variation. There's another variation on the recording that I haven't =
gotten to yet, but it should be relatively easy to figure out once you =
learn the first two parts. Play it slow and dreamily. Sounds best on a =
nylon string guitar. I have not indicated timing, so listen to the CD =
and it should make sense. You can simply keep repeating the variations =
until everyone around you is hypnotized.
