Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

Tears On The Moon is a slack key guitar piece I wrote a few years ago, shortly after my wife’s grandmother passed away unexpectedly. We were in Hawaii at the time and I was playing a few songs in C Wahine Tuning (C G D G B E). This is a tuning commonly used by Keola Beamer, sometimes referred to as Keola’s C. It is a short piece consisting of a couple of 8-measure phrases arranged in an A-A-B-A form, with a 4-measure intro and outro. There are a few subtle, but difficult techniques as well as some big stretches required to turn these easy notes into music and it is very challenging, in spite of the fact that it is played pretty slowly.

Enjoy this Level 7 lesson.

This sounded great when Neil played it on the weekly update..... I like this C-Wahine tuning.

What a spectacular piece. I think Nana would be both very moved and very proud.

Good thing I've been working on a Phil Keaggy piece. It got me ready for that index finger stretch.

Beautiful song, Neil. Thanks for sharing this one with us. More "Neil Songs" in the TARGET program is always a good thing.
