I can't believe I did it. I learned the intro solo and the chords to Sultans of Swing...I feel so Knopfler-ific :D
Let me at that bar so I can play it. :D

That is quite an accomplishment. Mark Knopfler is a fantastic guitarist.
Where are you playing? I wanna be there. I also want to hear "Money for Nothing" and "So Far Away". :D
And "Walk of Life"!!

Well, I'm not actually playing anywhere outside of my room. And I can't sing and play at the same time. But I'm making progress :D

I bought a tab book that came with a CD that plays the song really slow so you can pick it up.
It's called "The Guitar Style of Mark Knopfler: A Step-By-Step Breakdown of His Guitar Styles and Techniques".

has a couple of tab books not available in North America, they seem perhaps a step below the Hal Leonard ones in quality of tab though still usable (well I hhink I might find them usable in another 2-3 years, but thats just me)
Thanks for the Amazon link.
