Sultans Of Swing

“Sultans of Swing“ was composed by Mark Knopfler on a National steel guitar in open tuning. He thought the song was “dull“ until he bought his first Stratocaster in 1977: “It just came alive as soon as I played it on that ’61 Strat ... the new chord changes just presented themselves and fell into place.“ It’s an honor to play this on my first ever Stratocaster. I sold the Hamer Explorer for this new/used axe.😉
