A classic rock song by song writer / guitarist Mark Knopfler.
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes

This is how I play it, sounds quite fine to me. Don't mind the vertical lines, they're
to keep things clear.

My apologies for the repost - but for some reason, the original posting
seemed to get cancelled (not by me). I was lucky enough to find a machine
which still held the article and am reposting now. If this one gets cancelled,
I'll try once more from another machine.
Hi,
I was rapt that Martijn posted his TAB version as I had sort of dropped

Song: Sultans of Swing
Artist: Dire Straits
>From the album "Dire Straits"
Transcribed & submitted by Greg Eden
Bass tab
This is how I play it. There is another version by Johari Taylor, but I find it
a little fiddly to play (I've not got nimble fingers, obviously).
It gets a little tough on my left thumb, but ingnoring that, this is a
mighty fine song to play on the bass.
