I think I have figured the chords for Bobby Ingano's "Ho'opono Slide" but would be more comfortable if someone else shared their take on the chords for this fine tune. Bet Gerald Ross knows. Thanks in advance. |

OK Bob, thanks for the challenge.I just went out to www.mele.com and listened to Bobby's 60 second sample posted from Greg Sardinha's "Made In Hawaii" CD. Here's my attempt at the chords using my extremely fined tuned musical ear.  Disclaimer... I'm at work now with no guitar or musical instrument (except rubber bands) within five miles (how does he do it? ) The computer biz is frequently hours upon hours of sheer boredom punctuated by seconds of sheer terror. The song has an AABA format with an Intro. Intro: (each chord 1 bar)
-------------------------
C Bb7 Dm7 G
C Bb7 Dm7 G A Part: (each chord 1 bar)
--------------------------
C C Bb7 Bb7
C C A7 A7
Dm7 Dm7 G G
C A7 Dm7 G B Part: (each chord 1 bar)
--------------------------
Fm7 Fm7 C C
Fm7 Fm7 G G That's my guess. ------------------

I hear it a bit differently. (Dominant) 9ths sound better than straight dominant 7ths to my ear.Here's my interpretation. Each chord written is worth 2 beats (out of 4 in a bar) for the most part. I've also added the ending chorus. Intro:
-------------------------
C A9 Dm G9
C A9 Dm G9 A Part: (each chord 1 bar)
--------------------------
C C Bb9 Bb9
C C A9 A9
Dm Dm G9 G9
C A9 Dm G9 B Part: (each chord 1 bar)
--------------------------
F9 F9 C9 C9
F9 F9 G9 G9 Ending
------
C C Bb9 Bb9
C C A9 A9
Dm Dm G9 G9
Em Em A9 A9
Dm Dm Fm G End on C9 chord Have fun! Bill |

Hawaiian chord progressions sound so fresh, I like the 9th chords best. |

Bob, that pretty tone is achieved on a
pre-war 7 string Rickenbacher Fry Pan.Roger[This message was edited by Roger Shackelton on 08 January 2004 at 10:05 AM.] |
