Serenade to Nalani cover

Post by Tyler Nuffer »

Hey everyone! Transcribed Jerry Byrd's "Serenade to Nalani" by ear in his diatonic tuning. Just started exploring this tuning and having a blast! Thought you guys would appreciate it :D

I am not sure which superlative to use here. Sublime seems to fit. Its a stunning performance. I have a question. You appear to be playing finger-harmonics. Picking with the first finger and touching with the third. Is that correct?

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the kind words! Jerry Byrd is one of my favorites and this tuning he created is really knocking me out. Just started a youtube channel and going to try and post a video every week or so :)

Cheers!

Hi David, thank you for the positive feedback!!! I'm using my first finger to touch the string and pluck with my ring/third finger. Sometimes I use my thumb to pluck a harmonic for a softer attack.

That's very interesting. I always thought finger-harmonics would be a more accurate way to play, other than the basic palm-harmonics. I'm inspired, I have to get this down. Thanks.
