Book Reviews of Sultans of Swing - The Very Best of Dire Straits
Book Review: Very good book, minor flaws.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good book with some of the most well-known songs by Dire Straits. The songs are in the right keys. I found that it was worth the price if only for the Romeo and Juliet tab. This song uses an alternate tuning that you won't find on free internet tabs. The only trick you have to know is to tune lower and capo at fret 3, then you're set to play it the way Mark Knopfler does. Of course, Dire Straits is recommended for, at least, intermediate guitarists. I put myself in that group. Advanced players will have fun on Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love and all soli. Some tablatures are less easy to read. They seem to come from magazines and the notation (bends, slides) is different. Unfortunately, the tabs are really for the Sultans of Swing compilation, i.e. shorter versions of the songs. For instance, many bars are missing for the beginning and last solo of Brothers in arms compared to the version of the eponymous album. Still, it's a lot of fun and practice, even for the rhythm chords.
