- Subject: Dire Straits tab : Private Investigations

- Title : Private Investigations
- Author : Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler)
- Transcription by : Guillaume Laurent (except first intro solo by
- Laurent Martinez)
-
-
-
- First, a few precisions: this is an attempt of a transcription of the
- studio version of P.I. Not everything of what he does is here (far
- from that), but it sounds nice when you play this along with the
- record, or with a bunch a musician friends.
-
- Besides, I'm completely deaf when it comes to figure out chords (even worse
- than solos!), and I know that he often starts these little "phrases"
- by strumming a 3 or 4 notes chord, and then picks notes over it. So if
- such "phrase beginnings" don't seem to match for you hear, and you
- happen to find better ways to do them, please let me know!
-
- Add on (22 Feb. 93) : The corrections I've added are precisely trying to
- improve those "starts".
-
- As usual, any adds, corrections, comments, are welcome.
-
- No notations tricks : a ">" means the note following should have no
- attack (i.e. slide it, hammer it, pull it, whatever!).
-
-
- Intro arpeggios (not included in the "Money for Nothing" best-of version) :
