Lockdown Licks no.193.
Following the intro solo yesterday here is my version of the
Second solo today!
“Fade to Black” by Dire Straits. Main solo played on an HB35+ using neck humbucker setting. Played through a NUX M8 amp on clean setting with a touch of reverb.
Original played by Mark Knopfler.
The song is a smooth, brooding, jazz/blues from the album “On Every Street.”
It was released many years after their huge success with “Brothers in Arms.”
It would prove to be their final album before Knopfler began his solo career. It’s certainly last but not least as I see it. With hits “The Bug” and “Calling Elvis” as well as superb tracks such as this one and the album title track. On Every Street is essential for any lovers of Knopfler and Dire Straits.
