My attempt at Mark Knopfler's 2nd guitar solo from Sultans of Swing. Not as easy as it looks. Especially when you have a cat around that keeps sitting on the keyboard and shutting off the music (that's what happened during the first take!). This song forced me to learn Mark's picking style which is kind of unique. I think I did a decent job. Working on the first solo in the song now.
awesome job dude i'm working on the solo myself and i can say it's bad-ass difficult. You're doing great!

good cover man!
Can you tell me how can you do the fast riffs of the solo? Any advice?

Pull your thumb back so you can bend more accurately. And dont be afraid to let your notes ring,

Good job! You have a great sound, and you've worked at it, I can tell. Well done!

pretty good, i have seen better and you dont have the same clawhammer technique that knopfler uses, but you played it well without, but a solid job.

Wish I had your finger speed. Never been able to do the speed, even after 30 years and some 4,000 odd gigs, I'm still unable to harness the fast fingers. :-(
At nearly 50 and getting a bit creaky, I've resigned to never having nible fingers, but still love playing.
What I came to say was, I thought you were great. and yours is easily the most fluent version I've heard on the net - or anywhere outside of Mr Knopfler himself.
Good job!
