This is a tough one to get a hold of. Both the bass and guitar parts have straight 1/16 note runs up the blues scale. No swing style here, straight 1/8 note rock feel.

Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing Youtube

Sultans of Swing version for inspiration, Sent by Steve W.

sultans of swing lyrics

Backing track for solo section on the NEW backing track page

As in a traditional minor key, the 7 (VII) chord, 6 (VI) chord and 3 (III) chords are always Major.

The 1 chord (i) and 5 (V) chord are minor. ( The 2 chord is diminished but not used in this song).

In Sultans though, the V chord (A) is Major. This Major V chord uses the third of the chord C#, (A C# E) to make a stronger PULL towards the root or d. This gives the soloists and rhythm players a chance to make a stronger push towards the 1 for it to resolve. FYI

Soloing – Just like in solo1, Mark Knopfler pivots between the D minor and F major pentatonic scales for most of the solo. The good news is that the D minor and F major pentatonic scales are exactly the same, just starting from different root notes. Theory is so WAY cool.

The Chart has two pages just to help the thought process.

What key is it in OR What key do you want to call it? Theoretically the recording is in D. The song uses notes and chords from the D major scale, but with the fifth, A, functioning as the tonic. Mixolydian mode. Or you COULD just think of it as a bVII – 1 but to me not as interesting.
