Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
Brothers in Arms (1985)
Written by Mark Knopfler & Sting
Transcribed by Robin Karlsson
February 2004, Sweden
Submited by Robin Karlsson

Hola!
This is a tribute to Mark Knopfler, one of the GREAT #1 guitar players. It's
also my first tab. I don't like any of the tabs I've found of this cool song.
They never seem to fit with Mark's playing on the record. I therefor decided
to transcribe it myself. I had to slow the song down using a computer to get
it right. Below is the result. A good and pretty precise transcription of an
awsome rock song. If you just want the lyrics you have to search elsewhere.
Please send me an e-m@il if you like this tab or if you discover any errors
Enjoy!
Play with distortion and perferably a "nasal tone" (Some Echo)
Fingerstyle is essential (Thumb, Forefinger and Middle Finger)
Learn it by heart
! = pitched tone , ~ = vibrato

theres some things wrong with the intro. it sounds right to people who cant play the guitar, so i guess
thats why you guys like it so much
