Dire Straits Walk of Life Guitar Cover

One of my all time favorites by Dire Straits (I bet I'm not alone with that statement). Just learnt the claw hammer technique some weeks ago, took some time, but I think I got the gist of it now.

This song is harder to play than one would think, because your left hand and right forearm gets so tired after playing 4 minutes of boogie woogie or what the fuck I shall call it haha. Hope you will like it even though, as always, it's not perfect. By far.

Guitar: ESP Edwards E-CY-165CTM
Amp: Roland Cube 80. Settings; DLX amp + some fast paced delay. EQ settings; Bass 12 O'clock Mid 12 Treble 2 O'clock
Camera: Samsung HMX-H200

@wintherkill Thanks!

That is a really impressive cover. It must have taken a while to learn.

[DonQuixotec]

@FrogSpatula42 Well, to be honest, it was the technique that took some days to figure out. The song it'self is actually pretty easy.

@guitarDouchebaggery Yeah it was :) But man, you are awesome, I wish I had the patience to practise as much as you surely do.

[guitarDouchebaggery]
