Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (Acoustic Cover with SOLOS!)

In this video, we're covering Dire Straits' iconic song "Sultans of Swing" acoustically! We cover the entire song, with perfect solos - a swine to get right on acoustic!
Sultans of Swing is one of the best electric guitar songs every written, so I tried it on acoustic...with solos! New Songs Every Sunday!
First solo @ 3:14
Second solo @ 4:37
When I play this live, I loop the rhythm and play the solos over the top, which i've tried to replicate for you here. Remember folks, this is one-take so it has fumbles and slips all the way - live music should allow for the human element!
The Channel:
On here you will find weekly acoustic guitar cover (uploaded every Sunday @ 09:00 GMT), regular uploads of reviews of gear I use when I gig and the occasional self-help video regarding overcoming anxiety.
A bit about me:
I am Lewis Foreman, The Anxious Guitarist. I am is a singer and guitarist from the UK who has been playing in front of audiences for the past fifteen years. From stadiums to café's, I can be found either playing my own material or putting a spin on my favourite tunes.
Why 'The Anxious Guitarist'?
Like many musicians and performers, I have struggled with anxiety and depression for the majority of my playing career. In addition to uploading reviews of gear I use and covers of my favourite songs, I will also be uploading the occasional video based on performance anxiety and anxiety in general in the hope that it might help those similar to me.
