Learn to play the beautiful Hawaiian song Hiʻilawe on Fingerstyle Ukulele

In this video Jeff performs a solo version of the song "Hiʻilawe" for fingerstyle ukulele, first made famous by Gabby Pahinui. Then he gives you a lesson on how to play this beautiful theme.

Hiʻilawe is just one of many songs, including chord progressions, accompaniments, solos, strumming patterns, and techniques from our Hawaiian course at Ukulele Corner Academy. The course is structured into 5 units of lessons that are progressive so you can learn how to play Hawaiian songs and styles in a fingerstyle method at your own pace.

The course moves through songs from the Monarchy era to the explosion of Hawaiian music in the 1920s as well as swing and all kinds of other contemporary Hawaiian styles. By the end of the course you'll have a deeper appreciation of Hawaiian music, be able to play accompaniment confidently in a kanikapila (Hawaiian jam session), and how to take paʻani or solos. There are video lessons, sheet music with TAB, vocal sheets and lead sheets, as well as backing tracks.
