    Question: Would you folks be interested in a video talking about my background, experience and upbringing in Hawaiian music? 🤙🏽

      Of course I’d attach a play along or something at the end so it’s not all talking...haha

      Yes! I would like to know who influenced you when you were young and how those experiences led to your current focus - guitar, ukulele, and falsetto. Mahalo… I hope it happens!

    One of the first albums I purchased as a teenager back in the 60’s was Guava Jam by Sunday Manoa. Thanks for reintroducing this to me. I want to learn to sing this beautiful Hawaiian language.

    Oh snap! B flat diminished eh? That one is going to take some practice 😜

    • @StevenEspaniola
      @StevenEspaniola  3 года назад

      Hahaha…you could always play the Eb7 there too…just half step up from a barred D7 shape ;) but I personally love the Bb dim…that dissonance just sounds so sweet!

    • @ericacarlisle6085
      @ericacarlisle6085 3 года назад +1

      Agree, it sounds better to me too. The other option is the one in Harry Koizumis video, which is I think also a B flat diminished, but using just first fret on the C string and first fret on A string. Much easier hand position for us novices but still doesn’t sound quite as good.

    • @StevenEspaniola
      @StevenEspaniola  3 года назад +1

      @@ericacarlisle6085 Yup! Just another way to play the same chord…fun fact: basically you can play the same moveable diminshed chord up or down three frets for an inversion or reordering of the notes creating a new chord voicing. Move the same chord fingering three frets again and you have the next inversion and so on.
