Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits - Rhythm Acoustic Guitar Lesson (easy - ish)

A guitar lesson of my interpretation of the classic Dire Straits song - Sultans Of Swing. Please Note: this is just for rhythm guitar and is influenced by the original Old Grey Whistle Test performance from 1978. Also; the F barre chord can be substituted with an open F to make it easier.

Alan Robinson Indeed! I enjoy :D but in my view there are a lot more amazing songs of Joy Division which You can do. :D I'm waiting for New Dawn Fades, Ceremony, Isolation, Atmosphere, Dead Souls, Transmission, I Remember Nothing, A Means To An End, Disorder, whatever. Oh God, I would be very glad if you want to do anyone of that. :)
