This solo steel string guitar composition in F Wahine tuning distinctively displays many of my trademark ornaments. The use of 'hammer-ons' and 'pull-offs' can almost be felt as well as heard. A 'hammer-on' is an ornament produced by plucking a note and immediately fretting above that note to produce a second tone. 'Pull-off' refers to plucking a string and immediately pulling the finger off that note, producing a second note that is either open or fretted by another finger. After you have finished this piece, go on to Bali Hai & Stranger In Paradise.
