Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Live)

YouTube - Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Live)



5.1 best played here + the solo is best i.e half way ..

also MODS if you can put this in the brothers in arms thread (i created a bit back) i can not find that would be better, as the search engine i used. but it is like trying to finding a fart in a haystack..

One of my all time favourite guitar solos . All the more impressive considering Knopflers technique.

Hi,

I would love to see Dire Straits perform live at the O2 Arena in Greenwich. As I have never seen them live.

My dad's always been a huge fan. I'll be honest with everyone, other than this song I don't know what else they play.
