Dreamy Waikiki is a song I found in an old Lani McIntyre Folio and I arranged it for the Leavitt 6 string set up: D--C--Bb--G--E--C#
This is one of the instrumentals featured in my Leavitt 2 Course.
See my signature below and check out my site for details.

Beautiful sound, Roy! You really captured that "Dreamy" tone. Isn't it fun searching through old song books and discovering gems like this?! Makes you wonder how many great melodies from yesteryear are out there waiting to be found. Great job.

Hello Roy,

I'm experimenting with other tunings and may try yours - is that D high, or D low?

thanks,

jk

Thank you all!

John..the first string "D" is a full tone above the second string "C" and I use a guage '015

Good Luck and you will have an interesting and rewarding time experimenting with this tuning I am sure.

Roy
