My habit when I am there is to get up early to watch the sunrise.<br \/>\nOn Thursday, May 8th I went across the street to Wai\u2019uli Beach Park with my guitar and the opening melody found its way across the strings. I played around with it as the sun rose and pretty much sketched out an 8-measure theme that became the A Section and another that became the B Section.<br \/>\nRunning short on time, I went back to grab the camera to record the ideas in case I forgot them as there was a lot to do for the next few hours.<br \/>\nWhen I got a chance to get back to the guitar I was glad I had gone back for the camera as the themes were slipping away. I played through the song a few more times and got it a little clearer in my head.<br \/>\nThe next day I even attempted playing it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/blog\/guitar-news\/totally-guitars-weekly-wrap-up-may-9th-2014\/\" title=\"Totally Guitars Weekly Wrap Up - May 9th, 2014\">TG News<\/a>. A couple months later I got back to polishing it up, arranging the parts and adding a somewhat related coda to wrap it up. You can still hear the TG News version for comparison but here is the way it sounded on August 17th.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":3500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2523],"tags":[2749,2750,175,2751,5,2752],"class_list":["post-456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neil-hogan-acoustic","tag-forming-chords","tag-guitar-melody","tag-learn-to-play-guitar","tag-music-in-hawaii","tag-neil-hogan","tag-north-beach-hawaii"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Neil Hogan - Wai&#039;uli - On The Beat with Totally Guitars<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/tg-blogs\/neil-hogan-acoustic\/neil-hogan-waiuli\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Neil Hogan - Wai&#039;uli - On The Beat with Totally Guitars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/tg-blogs\/neil-hogan-acoustic\/neil-hogan-waiuli\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"On The Beat with Totally Guitars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-08-18T22:41:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-21T22:57:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Acoustic-Snapshots.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"244\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"acousticsnapshots\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"acousticsnapshots\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/tg-blogs\/neil-hogan-acoustic\/neil-hogan-waiuli\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/tg-blogs\/neil-hogan-acoustic\/neil-hogan-waiuli\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"acousticsnapshots\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/d9ac5cbb33abb520d032f5486d1f67f1\"},\"headline\":\"Neil Hogan &#8211;
