G Wahine Tuning is a wonderful variation on the Taro Patch Tuning. The third string is lowered from G to F#. This tuning was a favorite of Sonny Chillingworth, Ray Kane, and Alice Namakelua. We will explore many songs in this tuning in later lessons. Start to get to know the tuning and memorize the G, C, and D7 chord shapes in first position.
