Well, okay, so maybe that's not what I meant... I mean, Sol Hoopii's version of Feelin No Pain.
Anyway, this is how I think he played it:

This tune lays out nicely in A major tuning (lo to hi: A C# E A C# E)... or it can be played in standard Dobro tuning. I believe he used the major tuning because he avails himself of all parts of the neck, or what I call "quadrants" of the tuning. In fact, he's very clever at it.
This tune gives a good insight as to how Sol thought of applying the Hawaiian steel guitar to a tune ... at least during this stage in his career.
And it has a pretty cool little groove.
Standard disclaimers: occassional intonation mistakes, the odd glitch here and there, weird timing figures (a little arthritis in the hands)... and unfortunately this mix clips a little. For now I'm too lazy to go back and make a real clean mix.
Hope you find it useful.
Craig.

And for those who may be interested, here's the tab:

Note that the tab is written for standard Dobro tuning (lo to hi: G B D G B D). Same positions, same intervals as the A major tuning.
If you decide to tune up to A major, please remember to transpose the chords up a whole step.
Enjoy!
