- ======================
- Song: Walk Of Life
- Author: Dire Straits
- Album: Brothers In Arms
-
- Transcribed by Roelof van Hemmen from score notation by David Wilschut
-
-
- This is Mark Knopfler's part of the song. Not much soloing, it's quite
- simple with repeating patterns but it's played really fast.
- He plays a red Schecter telecaster for this one with some reverb.
-
- I tried to give some timing too. Most notes are 1/16's and I give 'm "--".
- So 1 count is 4/16 and "--------" and 4 counts is 1 measure or 16/16:
- |--------------------------------|
- Of course don't forget to listen to the song itself to get the right
- feeling.
- Second guitar's E-A-B chords are indicated above the tabbing.
-
- I've recognized three parts:
- [PART 1] => Intro, chorus
- [PART 2] => Verse
- [PART 3] => Pre-chorus
-
- Sequence: 1,1, 2,3,1, 2,3,1, 2,3,1 1 to fade

- Not too difficult, isn't it?
-
-
-
- By the way, get hold of this concert recording:
- * Nelson Mandela 70th birthday tribute, Wembley Stadium London 11.06.80 *
- MARVELLOUS concert, with Eric Clapton on second guitar. This really kicks
- ass!!
- Broadcasted on tv so video's are available too.
-
- Check out EC's soloing if you find the above too easy ;-)
