Sultans of Swing cover

This is my cover of Sultans of Swing by the Dire Straits, as people have mentioned my guitar is a little out of tune. Anyway, enjoy.

The reason for the miserable look on my face is the difficulty of the song, this was probably the 50th take of trying to get the last bit right.

Rad to see somebody so young taking an interest in Dire Straits. Keep at it, dude!

Get a hair cut, you no good hippie

[MrClose2u]

there's much good .. you've got the whole thing learned and fluently played at speed

tuning / intonation definitely an issue

try to get some vibrato in to your licks and phrases

those bends still don't quite work ... make them reach the note with confidence, put vibrato on those too ... and work on your bending technique in general .. it really seems hit and miss

this is a feel and expression song and it needs a really deft but certain touch ... very tough to do ... so the challenge is great

Sounds as if you're out of tune with the backing track.
