    Not only is this a beautiful rendition, it's also helping me a great deal practicing this wonderful song myself. I've been following a tutorial that suggests a slightly different picking pattern, alternating between 5-2-3-4 and 5-3-2-4, as well as adding some other shenanigans. Your rendition has shown me that its sounds perfectly beautiful with the first pattern throughout (unless I'm mishearing). Thank you so much! Being a beginner, I'll have a long way to go, and matching your stunning voice will be a futile undertaking. But I'll hang in there. ;) Thanks for your inspiration!

    Hi Sarah, in Hawaii, there is a similar style of guitar playing called “ki hoalu” or “slack key”. Masters are regarded as cultural icons. You’ve mastered not only playing, but singing along with it. Amazing. You’re a tribute to the Legend himself!

    @@sarahlouisefrench if you’re interested, here’s a clip from Keola Beamer, one of the elders of slack key. He first rosek to fame in the late 1960s. Still performing at age 75. The King of Hawaii wanted to develop a hcattle industry here about 200 years ago. So he hired experts from Mexico and Argentina, to start,and teach local natives. When the returned home, many left their guitars as gifts for their students. Hawaiian slack key uses looser tunings and the strings are plucked, rather than strummed. A lot like rhe way you play. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWGfs5epn5Sylpc.html
