[100BIPBIPBIP]

Im crying how beautiful this is.

[anne0203]

Grateful for this

[penrose005]

I'm sorry I don't have the tab. But if you drop the 6th string down from an E to a D and put the capo on the 2nd fret then this may help.

Good luck!

John

As a guitarist myself and a massive Dire Straits....and...MK fan it is really..really touching my guitar heart that someone with such a feeling and at the same time with such passion, and respect performes why worry with his own style.......on such a high level of guitar skills.

Thanks.

Bless You

Nice job, beautiful song played beautifully. Did you learn it by ear or with tabs or how, all three? How long did it take you to master? If you have the tabs I'd love to give it a try.
