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.

Stairway to heaven (guitar solo)

Some points about solo -
1. Solo is on Am pentatonic scale
2. Solo has added F note to it, which is absent in Am pentatonic scale...
eg. see the bold note in the tab.

3. Chords behind the solo also have F chord in it...

F note is added when he is playing F chord
