Here's my version of the Dire Straits classic, Sultans of Swing. I've been asked to do a full version of this for years now, ever since people saw a random little video of me performing this song on the streets of my hometown. I wanted to stay true to the original song with the lead guitar parts, but I wanted to put my own spin on it, so I decided use a 'softer' right-hand pattern for mine since I wasn't playing this with a band, and since this is a much more natural way of playing for me. So there's some slight differences in the rhythm, and of course, I'm using a different pickup than Knopfler. So please, all you purist Knopfler superfans, don't shoot me - my guitar sounded better this way, and I'm not trying to 'be' Mark Knopfler here - this is simply just another version of the great song ;)
Enjoy it, and best of luck on the lesson if you decide to take it! :)
