Stratman covers Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits on an SG

Stratman plays Sultans of Swing on an SG. Why not? There are a couple of mistakes - as usual- but hey, it's not too bad. Got some nice licks dotted around. A lot is improvised because can't be bothered with TAB. It bores me.

great cover, awesome guitar!

[stratman1990]

@SofiaBelchiorinho Thank you. Glad you liked it

[Hemorraghe]

how much did you pay for the guitar?

[stratman1990]

£125, but that was 5 years ago now.

[stratman1990]

£300? Yea I guess. It was better than the Epiphone G400 at the time. I don't know what Epiphone quality is like these days but 5 years ago this was a way better guitar. I'd never part with it. Its brilliant

[Hemorraghe]

would you have paid 300£ for the guitar if you needed?

does is worth it?

[stratman1990]

Thank you very much. Sadly I couldn't play the second solo at the time. As I once replied to someone on here before, I couldn't finger pick fast enough at the time as this was the first time I'd tried. I always used a pick before. Ashamedly I also have to admit that I play very little nowadays, which isn't gonna help at all lol. Thanks for the kind comment though

[soplonalegre]

the finger picking is really good.. but can u play the studio version final solo... y think is more dificult

[stratman1990]

Oh I see. Thanks for the info. And thanks for the comment too

its a music institute in Kilburn, London, they have a guitarist course too, and there are a few things about your technique that reminded me of guitar players I met who did actually study there... must be a coincidence then, you're playing good anyway!

rock on bro!
