To be honest, I haven't picked my way through too much of this book. I just sat down and played through Walk of Life, and that was correct and informative. I started to play Darling Pretty, and found two errors during the intro. These were unusual mistakes. In both of them, the standard notation was correct, but either the chord or the tab was in error. In one case, the chord was supposed to be A/C#, and the # was left off. The other one had an F# played on the high E string during an A chord. It's rare that I find obvious errors in tab books, so this stands out. However, there are some benefits to this book - the spacing is great. They've picked a very enjoyable and easy-to-read font for printing the book, so it's very easy to learn it by sight. This is a huge, huge benefit over older transcriptions of Money for Nothing and Sultans of Swing.
As I’ve gotten deeper into the book, I’ve realized that this isn’t much of a transcript at all. Multiple guitar parts have been condensed (or ignored). You get a tab of just one often not very good guitar. Walk of Life — Knopfler plays a shuffle unique to his style but the book just shows you the bass notes (what plays with his thumb). There is an effort to transcribe his licks. My biggest gripe? This songbook does not include all of the songs from the album. It has all of the most popular songs, but make sure it has what you want. Skateaway is one of my favorite songs and it doesn't appear in this book...
This was a disappointment. While not useless, it is not comparable to a real Hal Leonard Guitar Recorded Versions book, which have been pretty comprehensive in my experience. My main interest was Sultans and it only includes one guitar part, and the vocal line was a lazy effort - it doesn’t account for variations among the verses. So, not very impressive.
I bought this book for passages that didn't exist in the previous book I had for "sultans of swing" this book is lazy at best.. the tabs only last through the first verse and it assumes mark did a wash rinse and repeat for all the verses ... when in fact mark knopfler isn't that lazy, he serves different riffs for every verse making this book complete garbage.. it seems the tabs were autogenerated and reflect nothing of Mark's style and added notes are just thrown in willie nillie.. I've studied this song quite diligently and cant find where these ghost notes exist... too bad 0 stars isn't an option.
I've had a good look at the way the music is laid out. The tabulature looks fine to me. I can play along with the recorded music so that makes the book work. All I need is an automatic page turner.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It's a good book, but all he was looking for was guitar cords and words. He's a "play once in a while" guitar player and he doesn't read music so it's a bit over his head. Might work for a musician.
Doesn't really contain some of the songs I was really looking for and is kind of a duplication of another Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler tab book. It is good to have though.
I really don't think I will buy HAL LEONARD music books any longer. I've seen poorly written books, but this one is bad. The other two reviews liked the books. Don't know Dire Straights do you?!! For example, Sultan's of Swing is missing a good chunk of the tabs. Not lost pages, words but no music. The first row of words has tabs associated, but not the second row. Where is the Freakin' music?!? I would not have purchased this if I knew how bad it was. For what it's worth, it would appear what is there is 90% close, but just download Powertab of Purchase a tab reader and download the tabs. They will be more accurate and complete.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A decent book with plenty of tunes for the money but be aware of occasional variations from the originals in fingering.
Very detailed and accurate note-wise but the fingerings provided are sometimes suspect. For example, the transcription of 'Going Home' opens with a 'C' type CAGED shape at the second fret but if you watch Mark play this tune live, he employs a 'G' shape at the seventh fret which is far simpler and easier to play. Unless he used the given fingering for the recorded version and a completely different fingering when playing live, which is EXTREMELY unlikely, the transcription is simply wrong in this respect (edit: the author very graciously confirmed that this is the case and that he transcribed it solely from the audio). So, a decent book with plenty of tunes for the money but if you want to play Knopfler's songs the way that he himself plays them then you'll need to be alert to this issue and make some adjustments where necessary.
Has a good selection of hits from the band, includes a nice CD with some backing music to play to.

Private Investigations
It's a great book, I've always wanted a Dire Straits book (even though I will be the first to admit it is WAY beyond my guitar ability) and it is great, has brilliant accurate detail of all my favourite songs, a must buy for any Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler fan.

The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler
I found this book very frustrating to use ,the pages end in the middle of vital bars making it very difficult to learn songs unless you write them down on a separate sheet of paper , which defeats the object of buying the book.This book was not put together by a guitarist it seems.
4.0 out of 5 stars
in fact i was mainly interested by the tabs but i did some kind of adaptation for easier play but very good
hi , in fact i was mainly interested by the tabs but i did some kind of adaptation for easier play but very good book
