In today's guitar lesson we learn and break down the 2nd guitar solo to "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits. This solo is a true classic that ends in an exciting and climatic fashion with a ripping pattern up the neck. By breaking down each phrase on the fretboard, we can attempt to look into the mind of Mark Knopfler so that we can better appreciate and learn from his epic solo and techniques.
