Dire Straits - Setting Me Up (Solo)

Setting Me Up is a song from the first Dire Straits record.
Originally, this song was recorded in open tuning, but I play it in standard tuning.
This is the second update of this video, because there was pitch problem between backtrack and my guitar track, so I try to reduce it.
I play this song with my Telecaster reissue '52, on the bridge pick up. I use an AnalogMan Mini BiComp to add a bit of compression, and the Xotic RC Booster for a light overdrive.
My amp is a Weber 6A20, a Deluxe Reverb Clone.
The video sound has less highs than the "live" sound.
Oh, and this is my first video with my new HD camcorder, a JVC GZ-HD10.

@FeelingShred I'm a little late in response, but he used compression pedals on that album a lot. He got a clean sound with a touch of distortion from the pedal.

Good talent.

Excellent tone and great playing.

The holy grail is how Knoplfer does that "distorted" sound on the original recording.

Is it achieved hitting the strings harder?

Hey I really enjoyed it! I'm transcribing this solo right now too, I liked how you changed up the first part of the solo, it's fits in great. The sound Knopfler himself makes there is very hard to reproduce (especially with a crappy amp like I have), so in short, I like your solution!
