Sultans of swing, Dobro version

[Jean Pierre]

When I first heard this song in 1978, I was driving with the car radio ... the sound of this young guitarist and singer (unknown  ...) was so incredible that I remember having stopped at roadside to listen to the end of the song!

Of course there is a lot of cover, including SC of this song ... but taking it back for me at the dobro was a challenge
I make guitars, singing and of course the dobro (BIAB for Drums and bass)

thank you for your attention

I know at least three covers of sultans of swing on SC

- that of Jean Sebastien (steel guitar acoustic guitar,
- that of TREV in 2010 with an incredible video

- that of BAG in 2009

... that I advise you to listen, or re-listen

Another listen. Excellent. Love this dobro sound...

Your story about your first listen is unique... and have a universal dimension...

I think I had a kind of "musical orgasm" when listening to "Sultans of Swing", Dire Straits in live in Paris with (indeed) a very great overall performance, but an incredible solo of Paul Franklin on pedal steel guitar in duet with guitar solo of Mark Knopfler...
A kind of musical nirvana, the perfection in a moment of the life...

...but I think it is possible

Really good cover. I'm not a Dire Straits fan but Sultans of Swing is a great song and I think you really did it justice. Really nice Dobro playing, well done!

Lovely tone on the dobro and like Ferryman I think this is a great song that you've done a wonderful version of.    Willie
