Guava Jam

Song Lessons • 26m

Guava Jam is one of the first instrumental songs that I learned on the ukulele. Originally done by the Peter Moon band as a Kihoalu song it was made even more popular by Troy Fernandez and Ernie Cruz Jr. on the Ka'au Crater Boys first album Tropical Hawaiian Day.

Aloha!
