A Great Mark Knopfler composition.

What more could you want than a Shadows tune written by Mark Knopfler and played so well? !!!!

Great phrasing Phil. :clap:

Thank you very much Tony and Roger for your nice comments.
I know Roger you play this one really well - I have your recording saved in the RA directory.
I'm using a Dunlop DVP1 Volume pedal that I recently bought. It's so much better than the Morley one I put up with for years. Nice swell over the whole movement instead of all in one place.
All the best.. Phil

What a bollocking great performance - full of adrenalin!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Full marks for getting that Intro spot on. THE CAS BT is very hard to follow.
Superb tone and it just drives along - just as it should- with plenty of oomph. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Top Job, Phil!!
Loved it!!
cheers

Cheers Ecca and Ian for the replies.
Ian - Yes It turns out the Casting a Shadow intro to this song is a lot longer than The Shadows version.
as I discovered when I was about to record it !
It was easier to piece together the 2 recordings rather than re-learn the intro.

Tolo - sorry the final score wasn't what you wanted. :cry:

All the best... Phil
