Sultans of Swing (solo or lead type) - Dire Straits




Note: 


"ARP" to indicate that you are to play a broken chord, and one or
more caret "^" characters to indicate a tie. 


Also most "labelled chords" (eg The initial D minors) are to be strummed
rapidly. Knopfler uses demi-semi-quavers with certain stokes muted.
Guitarist is Mark Knopfler who is finger style lead guitarist.
