Hi'ilawe for Fingerstyle Ukulele with Pa'ani (Solos)

This wonderful performance of Jeff's arrangement of the famous Hawaiian song "Hi'ilawe" features the main theme (with Gabby Pahinui's famous intro vamp) and then a series of solos (pa'ani) in the style of different artists from Hawai'i.
The first pa'ani is modeled after Cyril Pahinui, Gabby's son. (You can hear Jeff and Cyril play this song together on the album Amy Hanaiali'i and the Slack Key Masters of Hawai'i -- this beautiful recording is available as a backing track and includes a lead sheet for members at Ukulele Corner Academy.)
The second solo is based on Sonny Chillingworth off of his Sonny Solo album along with some lines from Leonard Kwan.
The final pa'ani blends these different styles together.
***
This performance comes from our brand new Hawaiian course at Ukulele Corner Academy! You can learn Hi'ilawe first with the accompaniment, then the main theme, and finally with the pa'ani (all with sheet music + TAB). But this is only one of many, many Hawaiian songs for you to learn in the course. Plus you'll learn all the fingerstyle and strumming techniques and chord progressions to play any Hawaiian song. There are already 30+ lessons available in the course with more to be added soon. Join Ukulele Corner Academy today!
