Rating: - Excellent, for what it is
This book is excellent, for what it is. The editorial description is a bit misleading, because this book is not a complete transcription of the songs in the table of contents. If you want complete transcriptions of Dire Straits songs, then you will need to look elsewhere. Instead, this book is an overview of Mark Knopfler's style, using passages from his Dire Straits-era songs to highlight aspects of his unique approach to guitar.

Wolf Marshall provides a nice discussion of each passage, the transcription appears spot-on to my ears, and the CD is a nice complement to the text.

I have only paged through the rest of the book, but from what I've seen and heard, this book and CD is spot-on. The CD itself, with "backtrack" on one channel and guitar on the other (which makes it easy to separate), as well as slowed down ... Read More
