This song tells me that Mark Knofler is a closet "folkie". He played it in open tuning on a 10,000 Dollar Dobro, but he's got a bit more money and talent than me. My humble version is in standard tuning on a 360 Euro Washburn parlour....

  • Great song, great job, great voice, oh god and great guitar.

    Congratulations!

  • @LionFromHell666 Thank you very much - you are too kind!! (but I won't argue with the Lion from Hell!)

  • hey, sorry to bother you but i'am looking into buying a new guitar for playing fingerstyle blues and i was wondering would the one your playing be suitable. Whats it like, any flaws, is it a washburn r314k?

  • No problem - it's a great guitar for fingerstyle blues (that's what I bought it for) and, yes, it's an R314K model. I've since had my hands on an all solid version and wish I could have afforded that - but it's good value anyhow. The thing to note is that it has a Gibson-type V-neck shaped fingerboard, and you should see how that feels for you. The bridge pins are not the best, but that's a minor complaint. Some folks think the hard case is a bit flimsy, but it seems fine to me.

  • Hey ! do you have a tab for this song I've looked everywhere and can't find one. Such a nice piece :P

  • No tab - sorry, but I don't use it as I play by ear. This arrangement is my interpretation of the song in standard tuning, but there is an excellent video of how to play it in Open G (as Knofler's original) here:
