Figuring out sultans of swing [View all]

Hey all been up since 0400 I just could not sleep. Yesterday my boys came to me dad have you ever heard of dire straits. I said yes I have boys , and I added I really like mark knopfler guitar work. For forty years I been exploring fretboard from Jeff beck willie Nelson Hubert sumlin Hendrix srv mr gibbons and many other awesome guitarists you all get what I'm saying, on Not just to learn their music but to tear it apart and study their nuances how they brought out awesome notes from a guitar. Of late I have been really into Django Reinhardt how he played with three fingers and I'm struggling studying Django with five. So now the boys and dad will note for note sultans of swing today and start a study of mark Knopfler. I told my wife in bed last night I wonder why it has taken me fourty years to get around to mark knoplfer.
