I agree with Gedrig. Really hard bit with this number is nailing the tone.
You're actually going in the right direction, as there's very little distortion, and it's actually a very pure tone. A lot of guys get it wrong the other way. Too much fuzz and distortion.
You want, essentially a pure tone on the amp, and just let that great telecaster wail. But at the same time you want a TINY little bit of fuzz to give it Keef's edge.
I always wondered what became of Mark Knopfler. Great job Mark, but could use a little more crunch in your tone. And get rid of the sixth string, it just gets in the way, man.
Did you steal those sunglasses from Rick Astley? Did you just Rick Roll us with those shades?

good job
but you should tune in open G and try to play it like the original- and with different sound settings - lots of mids I believe
A new world opens for playing the Stones songs -!
and it is not complicated

You are right, open G, more mids, and more gain!

not bad, but ya gotta get the settings right on your amp. Needs to have a dirtier (Vox) sound. More overdrive. Too clean. Good start though. Kodos.

Anyway, Great Cover!
