Jeremy Wakefield's Hawaii Creeper

Post by Alex Cattaneo »

Thought I would take a break from my Stringmaster project to post some actual music. This is my humble take on "Hawaii Creeper" from one of my favorite steel records, Jeremy Wakefield's Steel Guitar Caviar. I usually improvise when we play live but we wanted to keep this one short so I just played the solo from the record.

There is a link in the video description to download the tabs for the solo, if anyone is into that sort of thing.

Great job! That's one of my favorite steel records, and I know that song well.

Beautiful.

Do you, by chance, have the chords, or a head chart for the melody?
