Excellent Dire Straits Tab
If, like me you like Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler's playing style - this book contains Dire Straits biggest and some of Mark Knopfler's solo hits.
I kinda had it with looking up tabs online- let's face it there is a lot out there and looking at 6 versions trying to figure out which one's right (or which bits sound right).
I can see that this TAB is written by people who have done their home work..
Some of the tabs are in alternate tuning (especially intros on Steel / Acoustic. If you have a spare acoustic lying around and don't mind tuning it DGDGBD then you're fine. Anyway - the book is totally accurate there! I had to find a good alternative way to play it (without having to switch guitars)..(yes, it is the infamous intro to "Romeo and Julliet")..
Most of the tabs are (fortunately) in standard tuning.. It's a great reference tool for some of the best guitar riffs ever written. Mark's picking style sometimes means a challenge - but hey, that's what practice is for, right?
