The instantly recognisable sound of Knopfler's 1961 Stratocaster is captured here as Sam races up and down the fretboard, arpeggios freewheeling. Sultans of Swing is a behemoth in Dire Straits' back catalogue and is by no means an easy feat to reproduce. This time it's a 2021 Strat' that's having its neck wrung over Telecaster rhythm.
