How D'Ya Do?
(in B11th tuning)

Tablature for Lap Steel Guitar by David J. Stewart

This is the beautiful B11th tuning, used for playing Hawaiian songs such as: Sand, How D'Ya Do, Mapuana, and Hana. This is just the basic melody to acquaint you with the song. Play it in your own style that you're comfortable with. An MP3 rhythm track is included below. Check out the video below if you want to hear exactly how the song goes. This is one of those songs that pretty much falls together as you play it, and there's a lot of pretty things you can play. It's a great cheerful tune to show off the B11th tuning.
