Moonlight Shadow, if it were written by Dire Straits

This one was requested by @qjamesfloyd on this forum, and after a few listens I thought of a way to make it work, so here it is.

It takes a lot from Sultans and Lady Writer. He told me that Mike Oldfield actually plays 'the twiddly bits' in his live performances of this song, so I couldnt resist either.

Hope you enjoy!

Brilliant, thanks for doing this, I hear the Lady Writer influence in it.

For reference, here is Mike Oldfield playing it live with the Sultans of Swing twiddly bits.

Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.
