That guitar solo at the end of 'Sultans of Swing' by Dire Straits is just crazy man. Mark Knopfler really hit it in Exosphere.

Please suggest great guitar solos like it apart from obvious stairway to heaven, free bird etc.

I have this theory that Mark is actually Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire. Wanted to check in with him but he didn't respond. Seems a bit sus if you ask me...

Today marks 307 years since the execution of Constantine Brancoveanu and of his 4 sons (Constantine II, Stephen, Radu and Matthew), who have been imprisoned by the Ottoman Sultan and chose to remain christian and be killed than to convert to islam. They have became martyrs and cannonised in 1992.

Who was the most powerful woman in the Ottoman Empire, Kosem Sultan or Hurrem Sultan, or are there many more who also stand out for their intelligence and cunning that left their mark on history?

Singing some oldies goldies today. I covered Sultans of Swing but I played all the lead lines on ukulele. When I was a kid in Hawai'i, I used to try playing Mark's lines on the uke. 20 years later and they're still hard. Hopefully this is worthy of posting in the sub. youtu.be/x9dEXqji-dY

[Play] I'm learning & playing Guitar World magazine's top 100 solos of all time in sequential order. I'm down to #22. You may know this one... These is both solos to Sultans of Swing by Mark Knopfler & Dire Straits.

#22 Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing solos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM6qqU9O-j8

Hey all! God-damn this is taking forever! haha. Been at this now for over a year and a half. Didn't realize this little project would consume 2 years of my life but here we are. Can't stop now so close to the finish line. A couple of relatively easy ones coming up and we'll be into the top 20.

Another honorable mention coming up after the next two solos and I think I've found an interesting one to do. An absolute master guitar player who has sadly been all but forgotten about. One of the great unsung players from the sixties and seventies.

This was a lot of fun to learn and even more fun to play. Just an absolute classic pair of solos that I've wanted to learn since I was a kid. Great fingerpicking stuff, something that I don't do a whole lot of. Felt good to try something new. In the end, that's what this whole project has been about, learning new things.

Hope you like my take on it. Lots of fun to play and lots of fun playing with tone on this one to try and get it close and right. As always, about a 10 minute talk afterwards on my thoughts on the solo and Mark Knopfler. Stick around if you like.

Hope all is well with you guys and gals. Keep those fingers workin' and practicing! You know that I will be.

#I'm through 78 solos from the list with 7 honorable mentions plus a few extras. Here's a playlist if you care to check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM6qqU9O-j8&list=PLxgAjMefDXE2UUH1O2CH29UCvRTgSd3qO

[todayilearned] TIL the song "Sultans of Swing" was inspired by Mark Knopfler witnessing a shoddy pub band playing to a small, drunken crowd. At the end of their set, the singer finished with “Goodnight and thank you. We are the Sultans Of Swing.”. loudersound.com/features/…

This solo of Mark Knopfler as the dire straits perfom Sultans of Swing gives me chills every time.

The way he brings it just makes guitar playing look so easy.

Anyway, I love the video so I just wanted to share it.
