Title: Blinding Lights, if it were written by Dire Straits
Post by: LaszloB on December 13, 2024, 07:26:18 PM

Hi everyone!

I was listening to this song the other day, and I was trying to figure out the melody on my acoustic guitar. After figuring it out, I started wondering what it would sound like on electric guitar and not long after that the idea for this video popped into my head.
I experimented a little with a green screen and green suit, to make me look like Mark Knopfler as he does in the original Money For Nothing cover and music video. That song is also the foundation and inspiration for this little tribute. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you! I do play in an allround cover band and we play a few of the DS hits. There's already a few Dire Straits tribute acts in the area where I'm from, with decent musicians too. I'll just stick with my little videos for now, hahah.
