Aloha Ka Manini

[Uke with Smitty]

Hey everyone! I’m still working my way through Brad Bordessa’s Hawaiian Songs for Ukulele course, and it’s really been fun. He shows you the melody, chords, how to sing/pronounce the Hawaiian lyrics, and then leads you into making a solo arrangement for each tune- with an emphasis on playing by ear and making it your own.

So, here’s my take on Aloha Ka Manini. He uses low G throughout the course, and I used it for the last song (Nani Ka’ala), but I thought I would try this with the high G.

Well done, Smitty! Glad to hear you are enjoying the course. It shows in your playing.

This is lovely! And it sounds great in high g

Thanks so much everyone! Kudos to Brad Bordessa for laying these songs out in a fun and approachable way.
