In today's video, I'm excited to share a special lesson on Wahine tuning using this beautiful Grimes guitar, handcrafted right here on Maui by my buddy Steve Grimes.
I'll walk you through this unique Hawaiian-inspired tuning, which is similar to open G but with the low E string tuned to C instead of D. We'll explore a simple yet effective picking pattern, moving between G and C chords, and I'll show you how this creates a rich, exotic sound perfect for fingerpicking and acoustic blues.
I'll break down the technique step-by-step, starting slow and gradually speeding up to demonstrate how the feel changes with tempo. You'll be amazed at how full and orchestral this can sound on just one guitar! I'll also touch on the history of Hawaiian slack key guitar and its connection to this tuning.
Whether you're into blues, fingerpicking, or just looking to expand your acoustic repertoire, this lesson has something for you. As always, I'm having a blast creating these lessons and connecting with guitar players worldwide. A special shout-out to my viewers in Australia and New Zealand - I see you and appreciate your support! Don't forget to leave your comments and requests. Mahalo for tuning in, and I'll see you down the road!
