Location: Marlton, NJ | Randy - I'm working on some of the slack key stuff and I've hit a snag.
The song that I'm working on has some hammer-ons on the 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th frets. The 5th fret is fine... but as I move up, I get more "dissonant" sounds as I hammer and less of the actual note. Is there a trick to this? Maybe heavier strings? I'm using the 47RI with EJ16s. The song is "Manamana Lele" and is in Taro Patch tuning.
Thanks in advance! |

Location: big island | what strings are you hammering on? i always use medium gauge for slack as the heavier tension is best.
because your high E is tuned down to D and the action on your 47 is low, you should try a heavier gauge. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Thanks Randy. It's the High E string. I'll give mediums a shot. |

Location: big island | just try a medium high E string and leave the other EJ-16's on. |
