hawaiian guitar sound

well, as i listen to more and more jj, occasionally he'll bust out a real distinct hawaiian style melody (sometimes on an ukulele), but anyways, i'd love to be able to come up with this stuff on my own or at least become proficient in playing it

so anyone with any knowledge please help me out, thanks!!

I think hawaiian music uses alot of 6th chords, try some of those-

Hawaiian music uses a tuning called "slack-key"

C G E G A C

another is D G D G B D

Slack key actually consists of a ridiculous amount of different tunings. It's like they begin each songwriting session cranking pegs in random directions and then they see what they can do with it.

But it's good music, so more power to them.

Yea I wanted to learn slack key slide, but when I relized that I would have to completely retune my guitar after each tune, I decided to try something a little easier. If I ever have 15 guitars then I'll start.

anybody have any standard licks/riffs/chord progressions that have this sound?

pineapple, palm tree, coconut is a fairly hawaiian progression.
