Hello, what is your Strat' model ? With what pickups can you have that lovely sound ? By the way, congratulations for the video ! Greetings from Czech Republic.
Hmmm one thing I cant stand about any guitarist that wants to finger pick is why they grow their nails out... you look like a coke head. You can finger pick just as good without having your hands look nasty. Cut your fingernails please. Its gross...
It''s funny, Knopflers chord changes and licks aren't terribly complicated, but the tone and feel are SO IMPORTANT to even coming close. BTW, the "money shot" lick is a fairly standard blues lick (maybe with a slight twist) right in the first pentatonic position.
quick question: for the splattly-doo lick at the beginning, are you arpeggiating those above strings as you play them, pulling your fingers off the previous string as you go on to the next one, or are you letting those strings sustain?
Anyone else who figured it out feel free to answer. Great lesson!
@halofan00 I think he pull's off as he goes, I would any way. Also for me it's easier to bar the index finger lightly so that way if I don't get the rest of the finger's or the pull off timing ect correctly I've still got the muted bar to fall back on, so at least I'll get that rakey sound. Thing's like this seem to complicate thing's but they do actually make it easier in the end. It's hard to explain thing's like this isn't it.
Jimmy Dillon is an awesome teacher. Mark Knopfler uses a "lobster claw" motion for his strumming hand so he can free pick up and down- leading to a faster movement.I could listen to Knopfler forever and never get tired of him.i plan on buying Jimmy Dillon's Acoustis Soul lessons as soon as I get the money.
