Hi everyone,

some of you may have seen the video I have posted on Facebook.

Here is the tab (without the bass part), hope it can help the ones who want to play this version by Sol Hoopii.

A great performance Paolo, and you are fortunate to have such an accompanist.

Really nice playing and singing!

That was swell! I felt transported back in time. Is this the usual dobro G tuning, cranked up to A?

Great sound from the both of you. Bravo!
One of my favorite songs from Sol Ho'opi'i.

Thank you guys, your comments are very appreciated

Walter, you can play the tab with a Dobro G tuning, of course you have to play the chords one tone lower.

Great stuff Paolo!

My tricone is in C6 but I recently decided to dabble in dobro, and got a cheap Regal reso in open G, I may try it out there transposed.

Question about the rhythm guitar...love that sound! What kind of strings is she using?

Excellent slide playing there but

the rhythm guitar playing was killer good. Pinch my arm, good looking , sings and plays rhythm guitar that groove and swings.

Such rhythm guitar playing is a rare find. Youre a lucky one for sure. Both lucky actually.

sincerely

Lou received this Epiphone Byron just a few weeks ago and the precedent owner has put Savarez Argentine strings on it,Â the 011 - 046 set. Lou just changed the low E for an .50 as the original string wasÂ buzing. The guitar needs a set up but she will see that when we can go outside again.

Thank you guys for your kind words, Lou and I are glad you like the video

C'est magnifique! (I hope that is correct.)

The combination of this music you do together is such a rare thing and I'm so glad you recorded it and shared. Such a welcome gift to lift our spirits.

Bravo! I love this music!!

Jim Pollard · Post by **Jim Pollard** » 15 Apr 2020 5:27 am

While I have to admit this style of music isn't my fave. WOW the musicianship displayed here by both of you is off the charts wonderful. What I wouldn't give to be able to play either instrument that well!

Bravo!

Jim

That's correct Scott !

Thank you guys for your kind words ! Lou loves these old songs and it's a pleasure to play them with her.
And being focused on the electric steel for several months now, I almost forget how good it was to play this old National.

Joe Breeden · Post by **Joe Breeden** » 15 Apr 2020 9:23 am

Keep playing that "OLD National" while performing with Lou singing.

That is just so nice on every level. Makes me wanna dust off the old tricone and head for the woodshed. Thanks, you two!
