My Tabs For Bud Tutmarc's Song, “Hawaiian Paradise” (C# minor tuning)

Also, harmonics really sound awesome in this particular song and are easy to 

play since it's a slow song. It's a great song to work on your harmonics. 

Jerry Byrd (1920-2005)felt that harmonics is a player's way of sharing a secret.

“Moon Of Manakoora” Tabbed For D9th

Something Different

I bought an Ultra Light TRAVELER guitar for taking with me when, what else, traveling. It only weighs 3 pounds. Although it came as a standard 6-string acoustic guitar, I couldn't help but loosen the strings and slip a metal extension nut over the existing nut... presto... a LAP STEEL guitar!

You can watch and hear me play the TRAVELER guitar. Please keep in mind that this instrument was NOT intended to be used nor played as a LAP STEEL guitar. This is just my own project and I'm glad I did it because it has a fantastic tone. So the following song is played in A9th tuning. I simply lowered the 4th string of my G6th...

The only thing is that you can't tune the strings to C6th because the neck is too long (the strings will break), but the tone is AWESOME from the longer strings! So I tuned the TRAVELER to G6th instead. I lowered the 4th string to play "Moon Of Manakoora," so this song is played in the A9th tuning. Thus, I have included the track I use with my TRAVELER lap steel guitar for Moon of Manakoora in Eb tuning, played on the 3rd fret just like usual.
