Dire StraitsBy David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dire-straitshttps://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/33714341-dire-straits(lyrics below) So with this new tune, I worked on some new methods for reference tracks using the BIAB rendered “bed” as the reference track itself. I am responsible for the playing behind 4 essential guitar parts: A Gretsch Country Gentleman rhythm and picking part, and a Strat rhythm and lead, both sets right and left. I used Neutron 4 and Audiolens to grab and use the EQ curve from Sultans of Swing. I like the way the Gretsch and Strat sound together. By the way, in time for Christmas, the WHISKEY TOWN album is out everywhere. Buy it for loved ones, or search for it on Spotify.  Real tracks for this new song are at the bottom WHISKEY TOWN AMAZON https://amzn.to/3iXXnANWHISKEY TOWN APPLE https://music.apple.com/us/album/whiskey-town/1656108568Dire Straits

Pha, shameless copy ... which I like. A LOT! You really did a great job, and I'm a little surprised by your vocal performance, it's a pretty good Knopfler sound. I love all the references to the old songs   My only minor nit is the guitar in the center, the timing isn't always in the pocket. But maybe that's the way you wanted it though...

David,
Well, now, that was a fun listen and a great tribute to Mr. Knopfler and company. You did an awesome job creating their sound, right down the to vocal performance. Really good stuff, dude! And that write—man, very impressive. Take a bow!
Best wishes for a great holiday season,
Deej

Ha! You're a funny - and very skilled - guy. Clever write. Your Mark Knopfler has a touch of Springsteen, which makes it even more hilarious. Love it!

No need for the double entendre then?
I think the strat needs a lot more compression to ping right.
Nothing shameless about this - it is what it says on the tin.
You do a good Knofler vocal melody.

Hi David,
Well, one of my favorite bands ever is Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler in particular, have all of their albums both on vinyl and CD.
This is great! Fun to hear references to some of the songs, and I'm also hearing some of his licks in there too.
Nicely done, very much enjoyed.

Nice job, very good lyrics as I've come to expect from you. I'm definitely hearing more of a Springsteen thing vocally. In fact, you could front an E St. tribute band easy. The other day I was listening on Soundcloud and your song Don't Blame Me When I Fall came on. Man, it sounded so good. Really pro. Like something Dylan could have done. High marks, dude!

I agree with tommyad, it's nice to see Knopfler get a nod now and then.
A creative piece here, good job.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hey B.D.,
Thanks for the listen!
Well, I listened to that Strat rhythm and lead tracks soloed side by side and did not hear anything that was not what I had intended.
That Knopfler style uses a "raking" style at times which means you have a cascade or flurry of notes when you rake downwards with one finger on a chord and then pick some descending or ascending notes at the bottom a millisecond later.
(You will hear this technique the most in the opening 14 seconds. Listen carefully and you will hear the Dm at the 10th fret being raked, with cascading notes in that scale tripping over the chiming held notes of the chord just played.)
Not all notes will be in the pocket from a traditional standpoint, but they are not supposed to be. It's an eccentric groove. Anyway, for better or worse, it sounds like what I wanted to do.

This is a good write, arrangement, production and performance. A good job mixing the live guitars with BIAB. Enjoyed this.
