        This is from the movie “Local Hero” soundtrack. I downloaded backing track from
        youtube. Recorded using the “free” recording software Audacity with my Epiphone Dot hollowbody.
        Its such a beautiful instrumental Mark Knopfler wrote.

          Zep you are a player my friend. Great technique and tone – that’s about as good as it gets for me.

            Very nice job. Mark is my favorite player and I usually have a project of his I am working on. You might also give Silver Eagle a try. It is probably the simplest, yet beautiful song I’ve learned from him.

              Hey Zep, why don’t you upload it to SoundCloud? My iPad wants to download your MP3, but then it’s a pain to remove it. But I really want to hear your MK recording, since I’m also a huge fan.

                  One of my all time favourite instrumentals and you definitely did it justice Zep. Lovely tone from your guitar and a beautiful rendition. Hopefully we’ll hear more from you and the great Mr K. more often. All the best.

                    This is just perfect Zep, easy on par with the original. Well done man.

                      Wow Zep! Beautifully played and recorded. Mark K himself couldn’t play it any better.
