Great fun to groove along to.

Yes I learnt that song and also agree I didn’t like the vocals on the original 

 

Works well with female vocals we found

Suits a certain kind of voice.

Re-learning a 2-hour set of Dire Straits songs, on bass for 27th (Camp & Furnace, Liverpool), and on rhythm guitar for 28th (The Barn, Ringwood).

Rhythm guitar is just bass without the riffs and syncopation 😉

Agreed. I've always been more of a Malcolm rather than Angus person.

Likewise. I once read an interview with Danny Kortchmar in which he said he could teach his grandmother to play screaming lead guitar, but rhythm guitar was something else entirely.

Having a go at one of my favourite tunes Heatwave, my interpretation at least. I'd like if we added it to our set at some point

Cheap Eastcoast P, flats and some foam.
