Chords for Makana - "Napo'o Ka La" Live at the ASCAP Playback Stage

_ _ _ _ _ _ It's called Nā Pou O Ka Lā, which means the setting of the sun. _ _
And I created the tuning for this as well.
And one of [B] the things I do when I create a tuning is I [Em] try to determine what are the main chords of
my [N] song and then I tune each bass string to each of those chords so I never have to hold that chord.
_ For instance, [G] in this tuning,
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] the guitar is tuned _ [D] G, A, D, G, A, D.
So I'm going to play in the key of D.
I have the one here, [G] I have the [A] four here, I have the five here.
The guitar is already doing half the work for me.
[Am] Here's Nā Pou O Ka [D] Lā. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ essentially with slack key, what you have is you have your thumb.
_ _ _ [G] _
The _ _ _ _ whole [Dm] entire time, just watch the thumb.
This is what's going on here.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ And over that, [A] you weave a melody like [D] this.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ And [G] you do them at the same time like [D] this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
That's what slack key is.
It's that machine of doing the bass, the alternate bass, the rhythm and the melody.
