Sweet Child o' Mine, if it were written by Dire Straits.
Here's another classic that I thought I could adapt to a Dire Straits version.
I saw on instagram the other day someone that had already put the original solo in something of a Dire Straits style, so I thought I'd switch it up a little and try a different approach with a sort of Telegraph Road style build-up to a big ending.
Had a lot of fun coming up with the different parts, hope you enjoy!

Well Axel Rose originally wrote this as a poem as a teenager, about a girl he was dating and after hearing his lead guitarist practice some rifts he decided to put the poem to the rifts . So it was not originally a song, but a poem. Thats what I heard . from Proffessor of Rock. There is a video on it. on utube.

Outstanding. You play one of the greatest rock songs of GnR with Slash, who is an exeptional guitar player, then add a style of a band, which has also some of the greatest guitar players of all times, and make your own version. The way you combine these songs and styles in your way, which I believe is also including your own style and interpretation makes this song a masterpiece. This goes into my music list and I hope it will be always available.

I my mind I was thinking, I wish Laszlo had have played the guitar solo...... then that slow build up with the dIRE sTRAITS piano (absolute gold)..... after that when the guitar started playing my mouth fell open and my jaw hit the ground!!! Epic! So Knophler, those bends and nuances! 🤯🤯🤯🤤🤤🤤I think that's my favourite of any of your DS arrangements that you have made. I hope Mark Knophler gets to hear this one day... Slash too! I'm sure they would smile and love your epic tribute to them and to this iconic rock song! 🎸
