Good luck with the exams!!

Thanks, I know I'll need it

James is right. How Long sounds more like an MK solo song than a DS one. If you're able to find the tabs for it, please let me have them too

I will dig out my tab for How Long,i know i have it somewhere!!. -------------------- "Never waivers, never wrong Your song the perfect song In my heart where it belongs Your perfect song"Mark Knopfler.

In all honesty, I've never tried playing this song because like I said I only recently discovered it. -------------------- And the unsung western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free - Jethro Tull

I don't have a single show with this song on it BTW, what do you think of the song How Long though? I never gave it a chance when I was beginning to listen to this album so I only recently discovered it. Needless to say I have never been sorrier -------------------- And the unsung western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free - Jethro Tull

Fade To Black is indeed a very bluesy song and a fantastic one at that. -------------------- And the unsung western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free - Jethro Tull

On a related note, there isn't a single song on this album that needs getting used to, in my opinion. -------------------- And the unsung western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free - Jethro Tull
