There are notes happening on a pinch on beats three and four. Again, pay attention to notes that line up vertically. Lastly we have the melody with bass notes on all 4 beats of the measure. Be able to play this and keep repeating through the two measures at a steady tempo to get the hang of it. Pay particular attention to the fact that you hammer-on with the melody on beat 3 at the same time as a bass note. Next up we have that same melody with bass notes coming on 1 and 3. This will give your ear and fingers a taste of where you're going. Be able to play this melody first, without any bass notes. Here's some tablature of the melody only. We're going to be in Taro Patch Tuning (Open G). ![]() This is a melody and chord movement that is so particular to Hawaiian music that when you hear it you immediately think of palm trees and Diamond Head. The second thing to learn is playing a Hawaiian vamp, or turnaround. There have been people asking for a follow up lesson for years, so here it is.

I put this up because it is the first lesson that I teach anyone who is interested in playing slack-key guitar. It's been a few years, like maybe 4 or 5, since I put up the Beginner Slack Key Guitar Lesson #1. ![]()
