Sultans of Swing (my first live gig!)


Title:
Sultans of Swing (my first live gig!)

Description:
Well here is what happens when you agree to play guitar at a friends' guitar bash in Bexhill. I'd only recently learnt the new live version ending, there's no singing and my fingers were so sweaty and nervous I couldn't grip the strings properly! But my thanks to all who came, supported and played that night it was great fun! I won't apologise for the mistakes as without making mistakes, you have nothing to improve on next time... Mistakes are good! Cheers to Jeff and Andy P for the opportunity and support! Coulnda done it without you Andy!

"Money for Nothing" Dire Straits
Just the intro. Fender Strat Deluxe. Oh and I know I played it a little fast BUT PLEASE STOP TELLIN ME. I'll slow it down next time... Promise!
Wild Theme/Local Hero
One of Mark Knopfler's greatest songs ever composed, certainly one of my favourites. This is the live version from the end of the concert featured on the greatest hits CD, and the tab is in the tab book of the same title. Local Hero is a film that featured this music, and Mark also wrote music for The Princess Bride (great film, great music!) Once again, Mark Knopfler Signature Strat and Marshall 30W amp. That's a can of Lynx Africa in the left of shot and my bed is satisfyingly unmade...
Sultans of swing : Dire Straits
visit : http://www.ocalli.com You get a shiver in the dark It´s been raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear that music ring You step inside but you don´t see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition too many other places But not too many horns can make that sound Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Mind he´s strictly rhythm he doesn´t want to make it cry or sing And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn´t mind if he doesn´t make the scene He´s got a daytime job he´s doing alright He can play honky tonk just like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing Amd a crowd of young boys they´re fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don´t give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain´t what they call rock and roll And the Sultans played Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings ´Thank you goodnight now it´s time to go home´ and he makes it fast with one more thing ´We are the Sultans of Swing´
Sultans of Swing full live version
This is a hybrid of versions, based on the Royal Albert Hall version of my previous video and a version recorded on 16th June (my birthday!!) at a concert in Hamburg. It's my fairly new Mark Knopfler signature strat and it's recorded through a Marshall 30w amp. Stick with it, it's a bit shaky to begin with...
Sultans of Swing technique
For the people who have asked me how to play Sultans of Swing, I want to share with you the "Mark Knopfler technique". Basically it´s using the thumb to pluck two different strings in an alternating fashion. Hopefully this gets you on your way a bit.

By request, a look at one of the riffs from Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler is a monster player, and I love his style and work, so this was a request I couldn't wait to tackle!
