The Secret to Playing Dire Straits' Why Worry Like a Pro 

Cheers Paul. I agree - I can still remember hearing Sultans on my old AM radio at the age of about 12 - I didn't know what it was, but i knew I wanted more!

Thank you. That's very kind of you. 👍👍

@@philcaffrey Hi, have you by any chance done a tutorial on the tune -Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero. I would really love to learn how to play it. Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much Alessandro. I really appreciate you getting in touch. 👍👍

Ah, that's great Tom. Glad it helped!. 👍👍

Great stuff. I'm the same. Starting this channel has reintroduced me to some gems I haven't listened to in a while - it's like discovering his music all over again. 👍👍

Thank you!

Thanks Martin - that's kind of you to say. Thanks for stopping by and talking the time to drop me a note.

My pleasure.

Hi Tony. Thanks for your note - it's much appreciated. I don't have tabs for this song, but thanks for the suggestion. What kind of tabs are you thinking of that will help? I tend to favour using listening as the main learning tool as that's how I learned all of MKs music, but if it's simple chord names/shapes that you need, I can add that into future vids.

Hi Phil, Thanks for your reply. I find it a bit difficult sometimes interpreting what I am hearing and tend to learn much quicker if there is some form of six string tablature that I can copy. I often apply notation to software such as Sibelius or Muse Score 4 as its relatively straight forward copying it to tablature. However I do understand that in your own case this may be too time consuming. I already have the chords and lyrics to 'Why Worry' but I would love to be able to play it like you do in this video. Anyway it was worth asking. Cheers, Tony.

Ah, thanks Robin. That's very kind of you. I don't have Patreon at the moment, but given your kind comment, I think it would be worth investigating - I'll have a little look. Thanks again - made my day!

I realize it may not be your intention Phil, but there are so many, let’s say, not so great channels ‘monetizing’, that to me the fact you don’t is a bit unfair. This is coming from a displaced Yorkshireman (so spending money goes against the grain somewhat) BUT I am also a die hard MK and Dire Straits fan. The effort you put in has answered some conundrums that my self taught ear never got, and so am sure I am not the only one. That is worth paying some respect for, hence my question/suggestion. I very much enjoy your lessons/style and accuracy (even down to admitting getting a note wrong!!!!). Keep it up and I, and many others will keep watching and learning. Cheerio Robin

Hi Phil. Sorry it's taken me so long to reply - my bad. The tuning on both guitars is standard e to e tuning. Hope that helps. Shout if you need anything else. 👍👍

Yep - great spot! Cheers.
