Sounds great to me. Great playing too.
That's a great tone and beautiful playing. I think I hear a little more "dirt" in his live sound than what you have.
Sounds cool - i would propably play a bit more agressive with your plucking fingers and add a stronger vibrato - maybe you could dial your sound a bit darker - but sounds very Knopflerish!!
That was just the factory "Sultans" with a strat in position 2 :

Pretty much note for note- very good playing! Tone is good. I might add a bit more compression but its good as is...
Nice find with the stems. The amount chorus is very surprising.
I'm finding that a little grit on my cleans isn't noticeable in the mix as grit but does help me poke through the keys and bass nicely. Funny how that works really.
Hmm. You can improve it by giving me that patch?
I dig it. Strat or something else?
Great start and killer playing but the tone needs way more grit. If you listen to the stem tracks, that tone actually has way more bite than anyone thinks it does. I'd dial up the drive and mids a bit. Plucking harder, as well, will help, but we can't all be MK, obviously. Dude's fingers are like the most nuanced sledgehammers ever.
One of my favorite surprises about hearing these for the first time was how much chorus there is on the rhythm parts.
