SlickerBill, Just for fun, while you're learning something new, try sampling this nifty site which offers info on Slack key (Hawaiian) style. There is even a free sample lesson. (note:I have never subscribed to anything that requires me to pay money for lessons via websites & I'm not suggesting you do!) While I don't know this guy, his music is lovely, and a buddy of mine knows him. The tuning he uses is (from 1st to 6th or high to low): D B F# D G D Since most of us don't know much about Slack Key, it's enlightening to get a glimpse into something new to us. Kaleea
