Absolutely beautiful. My husband was born on Molokai and we lived on the Big Island for several years. I play banjo and I want to learn to play ukulele in the real style that he loves. So thank you!

Aloha Brian, this is a brilliant lesson for such an iconic Hawaiian sound. Great alternate variations to learn whenever using the C major vamp. Mahalo nui loa.

Great riff and lesson, Brian. This sounds like Hawaiian Medley done by Hal Kinneman. Can you please do a follow up lesson showing the full song? Much appreciated!

Great learning experience as always Brian. Thank you oh so much.
On a sidenote, can you tell me what kind of strings you are using? I’m guessing, Aquila Lava because they’re black, but I could be totally wrong. Mahalo.

[@bliumusic]

Thanks! I use Worth brown strings.

[@judyhoomalamalama]

Mahalo for the turnarounds love them. Going to try and apply one of them to Waimanalo blues.

[@bliumusic]

Awesome. I'd love to hear you play it in Waimanalo Blues. Post it to YT or IG!

Lovely! Is your low G wound? If not, who makes it? I’m having trouble finding low G not wound.

[@bliumusic]

I use non-wound low G made by Worth Strings

[@abigailbowlds7183]

mahalo

[@TechnomancerTheWise]

Do you tube your uke to GCEA? I’m not quite able to match you on tone with my tenor

[@bliumusic]

I use GCEA with a low G

[@TechnomancerTheWise]

Thanks, I just couldn’t get it, did you need a different string for that? I’m pretty new so I’m a sponge to all this.

[@wattmild7669]

Ah, it's the low G, haha. That's what got me

[@miles8088]

Is that…soprano long neck d1?

[@wattmild7669]

Do I need certain strings for a low G?

[@bliumusic]

A set of ukulele strings are typically sold with either a High G or Low G string. I use a set of Worth brown strings with a low G.

[@Rohya]

That’s a low g
