Adios Muchachos
I wouldn't ever before think to arrange tango, but after listening Carlos Cardel's original recording I had to. This tune suits so well for guitar as the original accompaintment was 2 guitars. Mr. Cardel played guitar himself too. Finland is a tango land but Finnish tango is in minor key and full...
Aloha'oe
Written in 1878 by the last Queen of Hawai'i Liliuokalani. This is an anthem of Hawaii, a song of love and seeing again. I was inspired to write this arr by Ozzie Kotani. This arr is all about great deep sound of Kiho'alu, no thrilling...

En etsi valtaa loistoa (I seek not power or glory)
A loved Finnish Christmas song by Jean Sibelius. I was inspired by Keola Beamer to write a guitar duet when playing his duet arrangements. This duet works also as a solo when played the 1st guitar alone. The 1st guitar is in F wahine tuning and 2nd guitar in open F or Taropatch F. I include two...

A classic Finnish tune by our most well known composer Jean Sibelius. I have tried to spice it up with Hawaiian Slack Key style in open G tuning, also called Taropatch tuning in Hawaii. I hope I've succeeded. This is an updated Tab to first published one.

Hau'oli Kika (Happy Guitar)
Written by me, a Slack Guitar study. This has developed with in time and it began as an improvisation. It should not be played too excact, in fact one notices that all things are not in tab that excist in video. Not any special song but people seem like it when I begin a gig with this piece. Sorry...
