Title: Sultans - My attempt!
Post by: knopfler1 on December 01, 2018, 08:09:32 PM: Hello all!

Found myself home alone today so thought i'd have a go at Sultans and video it... To add to the thousands of attempts out there.

Hopefully i didn't do too much damage!

Thank you! There are thousands of players who can play it better than me. Its the song that inspired me to pick up guitar so thought I'd throw an attempt online.

Thanks! Don't listen to me though, I'm always being tough about Sultans, but of course I do love the song and that it inspired literally thousands, millions of people just like you've said. I'm certainly a huge snob when it comes to Sultans, instead I just should say great playing! Keep it up!
