Stratman covers Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits on an SG

[SofiaBelchiorinho]

great cover, awesome guitar!

[stratman1990]

@SofiaBelchiorinho Thank you. Glad you liked it

[Hemorraghe]

how much did you pay for the guitar?

[stratman1990]

£125, but that was 5 years ago now.

[soplonalegre]

the finger picking is really good.. but can u play the studio version final solo... y think is more dificult

[stratman1990]

Thank you very much. Sadly I couldn't play the second solo at the time. As I once replied to someone on here before, I couldn't finger pick fast enough at the time as this was the first time I'd tried. I always used a pick before. Ashamedly I also have to admit that I play very little nowadays, which isn't gonna help at all lol. Thanks for the kind comment though

[Hemorraghe]

would you have paid 300£ for the guitar if you needed?

does is worth it?

[stratman1990]

£300? Yea I guess. It was better than the Epiphone G400 at the time. I don't know what Epiphone quality is like these days but 5 years ago this was a way better guitar. I'd never part with it. Its brilliant

[viomartyr]

the guitar is beautiful, and your technique is pretty smooth too. dont you study at ICMP by any chance?

[stratman1990]

Thanks for the kind words. No I don't, I've never heard of it. Where is it?

[viomartyr]

its a music institute in Kilburn, London, they have a guitarist course too, and there are a few things about your technique that reminded me of guitar players I met who did actually study there... must be a coincidence then, you're playing good anyway!

rock on bro!

[stratman1990]

Oh I see. Thanks for the info. And thanks for the comment too

[stratman1990]

I agree 100%, but this was my first attempt at finger style. And I'm ashamed to admit since I've dropped a load od Dire Straits I've stopped doing it. Eventually I'll start playing finger style again, and when I do I'll do this again. When I did this I couldn't finger pick fast enough for the second solo. But thanks for the comment. Much appreciated

[alberzeta]

Cool, suitable knopfler sound.

[BeNNstAh]

[vintageshred71]

[Valcarion]

[stratman1990]

Hey Drew, thanks for the comment. It's not perfect at all. It's a bit shit actually but hey. What happened to stairway? I miss that double neck

[Valcarion]

Haha no prob bro. It sounds pretty close to perfect to me xD, but im simple ^_^

It was shit xD, and i havent gotten around to replacing it. It'll be replaced prolly this week or something. :)

[stratman1990]

Good man. It bloody well wants to be. It was fucking quality.

[tattedfaeriegrl]

Hey, stratman- - sounds REALLY cool! And your playing is enjoyable to listen to. Too bad we can't see your face; Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber said it was really important to connect with your audience through your eyes- - this was advice he gave on American Idol...........tfg

[DrewAnti1960]

sg sounds good,good job man,great song Great playing

[stratman1990]

Thanks buddy. Not bad for £125 3 years ago. I'd reccommend it to anyone.
