Don't listen to the idiot nerdflanders8710 with his immature comments, people like that should have their account removed. You've helped me lots with this video all 4 sections, thanks for taking the time to explain it and break it down, good job.
Hey Justin. I know you probably won't read this, but I'm posting it anyway. I just wanted to say that I finally finished learning the whole song, and I just made a video of it. Thanks a bunch for these tutorials, I doubt I would have been able to do it without them.
I finally feel like I have those licks flowing very nicely at full tempo now. Now I just need to polish up my timing throughout the whole song. Thank you so much Justin!!!!! You made this a fairly easy song to learn.
AHHHHHH!!!!! I have steadily learned this whole song but I just can't get those fast licks. The last 20 seconds will probably take me longer to learn the the first 5.5 min of the song. So close yet still so far away. =(
Thanks guy! I am starting to sound like Mark more and more! You WILL be getting donations from me. You are totally worth it!!!!!! Right guys? Gals? C'mon, shed him some bread!!!
Justin, thanks soooo Much, i`ve been stuffing around trying to learn this one by myself for literally years & years & now i`m finally starting to get the hang of this thing, & all because of you, Thanks heaps & heaps & heaps, you are the very best guitar teacher in the whole universe
very helpful details, thanks a lot, that´s really easier to play than it sounds at first. With tabs it would have taken much more time to learn, keep on doing that :)
Jason, I must say that I've always loved this song and I was looking for something to throw into the classic rock list. I've been teaching and playing out live longer than you've been alive, but you made this this a very easy lesson! I dig the fact that you used the caged chords to work with and your use of the Dm pentatonic scale in the A form is something I'm getting my students to explore. You also threw in D and C form chords and these are ignored by so many guitarists. Kudos my brother!
These 4 videos are the best I've seen online, period. Accurate, easy to follow, quality video, clear speaking, covers both hands, etc.. Thank you so much! Just forgive me for playing this song with a pick. ;)
Thank you Justin, this was the best tutorial I've found yet and I know where to find a few excellent ones. This was exceptional. I'll look for more of your tutorials. Very helpful.
I can't play because my fingers are musically retarded, but I'm sort of obsessed with Mark's playing style and I'm probably responsible for at least a 1/4 of the 4.8 million views of his sultan of swing video LOL :)
Your sequence at 7:00 is a bit different than how he does it.
Mark's thumb never really touches the first string. His first and second fingers take care of E & B, and the thumb works the string/s above them :)
I've been coming back to these lessons for over a few weeks now and I'd just like to say thank you very much. Your skills as a teacher match your fantastic skills as a guitarist. You make learning guitar much simpler. Now all I have to do is practice till it's perfect.
I have been playing guitar for 20 years and you are so much better than me. I find this Knopfler finger picking style so difficult, and you teach it perfectly. I am truly learning from your video. I love your non-showboat style. You are an excellent teacher. Keep up the great work.
Man you nailed the whole song. I've been playing guitar for years and never attempted this song.I will now give it a shot. You have a great method of teaching.
Very precise and you don't rush through the lesson.
I have been playing for about 4 months and using this guy can now play the frist solo reasonably well.. The second is much harder and will take ALOT of time but with determination and tons of practice you can do it. Also this is a great song to learn because it makes you better at guitar in so many ways.. there will be many songs you can learn very quickly after this one!
justin you are a true artist....and it is written all over your personality...may you continue to bless the world with your gift of teaching guitar.....
Hey man, great video learnt it very quickly and you made that last solo very easy to grasp with the finger technique, just wondering what string gauge and strings you use, i think mine may be a bit to tight to hit all them bends dead on.
Thanks for that great lesson, now I finally got nearly the whole song done quite quickly with your help. Sadly that last fast stuff beginning with the "properly hard little lick" seems to be out of my range to be able to play it ... yet ... i hope.
"And now for a properly hard little lick . . . " Lol, as if the rest f the song isn't! I'm loving this series, tho my family might be getting a little weary of it. Thanks so much for posting.
@koliko987 i understand why some people might, but if u use a pick, it rlly makes the song sound different. id hate to be the person to butcher Kopfler's masterpiece, but if u wanna use a pick, nobodys stopping u
Thanx for sharing your knowledge in such a didactical precious manor.May you be successful in whatever you aim for and may we all share our knowledge out of our joy to share without being forced out of economical reasons,so that we can make this world a lovely place for all of us.
i dig playin with the fingers, i myslef use my fingernail as a pick and feel this is one of the greatest advantages of using no pick, plus i play bass too lol
I'm 55 and stil playing 10 or more hours a day....my boyz (2), are musicians also, and we own a recording studio. This has to be the EASIEST AND BEST AND FUN way to pick up new styles of playing. THANX Justin Email me for donation at: pkling007@gmail.com
Well, How I wish the Net was around 32 yrs ago, I started learning it at age 10, when it came out, and was confined to what I could spot on the Old Grey Whistle Test video with no end solo ( and he was miming,lol...1 of only 2 times hes ever done it on TV ( thats a maestro for ya)) and my ears!! If it was now, I could of just watched you a few times, just Discovered your website, and Im real Impressed, Ill donate what I can, as I will be learning some licks from you, a big Cheers mon ami!!
hi,realy nice playing,and the way you teach is very simple it make it very simple for those who dosent know the tabs like me thank a lot keep going great job
@Gauge9 Hi there....just to clear this little thing up, he is actually Tasmanian, just thought Id share that Interesting fact....lol, tho your as near as damn it as its off the coast of Australia :o))
that was The BEST Sultan tutor on the YouTube - without exaggeration. Down to the details, understandable, clear, slow enough. You are a very good teacher.
On the top of that it's all free, without withholds.
Extra thanks for putting the 'fish' on your guitar, not being ashamed of your faith - you are a very good christian man !
question: for the fast parts how do you pick? i call it the clawhammer method. He's picking with the thumb and second finger, but is he saying "flip" or "click" for the sound of what looks like an invisible finger! is he using the side of the finger or the palm? can anyone explain me this method? been trying to comprehend it for a year now!
@adriana20222 ha m8 i think i know the bit you are on about he is saying flick ! as in a flick off. If thats the bit u are on about it hope i helped if not I look like a twat ryt now ha cheers.
Justin...Let me say thanks from the bottom of my heart. You are by far the very best guitar teacher on youtube. I am so impressed with your reluctance to be a "Show Boat" You always stay on the task of "teaching" and never become self indulgent. Someone with such class is truly a rare find in the realm of free lessons on youtube. signed: someone that would have never learned this song without you. cheers
@TheBadStyler No you chuffin don't! He taught you every single detail in this vid. If you can't play it after watching this, tab won't help you. You could even write your own tab using the detail he gives!
i've a question for you, i i wish you could answer, i see the your strings are kind'a close to the frets, on my guitar to, but when i play a but hard, more less normally, when the strings vibrate i listen to them touching the frets and making a bad noise, i think i don't listen to it when it is amplified, but what should i do?
Hi, I'm not Justin but I think I can help. It sounds like the action on your guitar is too low, you might want to take it to a guitar shop or luthier and ask them to sort it for you.
excellent stuff man - jesus it takes so long to show and explain knopfler - i rekon the man is not human !!! again great tutorial man - cheers big time
2:00 what the ... is that? i mean you are the coolest guy on youtube I appreciate your help a lot you make an exellent work! but man the explanation there is wanting. the pattern is confusing cause you change camera before you explain the fret chord lick... is it 9g 10bpull off 8b then 8e 10bpull off 8b then 9g? never had trouble with the other videos but this is not sounding as you sound.
Thiw is a perfect guitar lesson, it explained to me clearly and simple how to play one of my favorite songs. Thank you very much and kkep up the good work!
Awesome lesson, I would had killed to have a teacher like you when I was a kid ! I gave up teachers and learned all by myself back then. So to kids today to have people like you posting videos make them so lucky !
I started playing again and decided to learn some classics before doing orinals again, ran into your channel, and what can i say love it.
Hi Justin, brilliant lesson as usual. Just curious which pickups you have in your strat? Thanks. And if you ever get the urge, could you post a lesson of Steve Winwood's songs as played on the 07 Crossroads DVD (Dear Mr. Fantasy, Presence Of The Lord, and Can't Find My Way Home) any or all 3 would be just fine pls and thk you:)
"I used a 1989 Fender Strat Plus Deluxe into a 1979 Fender Twin Reverb. I bought the strat new (it was my first strat). The neck and middle pickups are the original lace sensor gold pickups, and the bridge is a Seymour Duncan "Cool Stack" humbucker and I have a toggle switch that flicks it to single coil"
get transcribe, it slows the song down and helps u learn it at the pace u want too, thats what im doing, at 75% on the 1/2 fast part of the solo, gotta learn it for a week 2day (uni audition), wish me luck
Thanks, tried it that way and found it to be the most obvious method too.
Only problem I have with it is that I don't have the level of control over the double-down that I would like. The pull also feels weird with that timing.
For the fast lick I did get the notes right, but is it possible to play that fast with a pick too? I don't have the proper discipline to cut and polish my nails like that, nor do I have a job where that would be practical.
Such licks return in so many solos, Sweet Child o Mine to mention just one for instance. I really want to get my head around that if I want to start playing past bare chords.
there is a way but its kinda cheating. it sounds good still tho. just use the b string (aside from the slide to the 9th on the g) and constantly hammer on and pull off but...here
You don't have to have nails like justin to play this lick fingerstyle, as i can have managed to play it with a fare bit of practice and i have basically no nails.
about the last part of the solo, i dont quite get the reason of that fingering on ur right hand , why not using ur thumb on the second string and then fingers 1 and 2 on the first ? or is that ok too? thats the way i play it but maybe theres a good reason for doing it your way.
I have been playing this solo for years, thank you for clearing up some of the licks I never quite was happy with, I still play it a little different than you because of my interpretation is similar but different, but everybody always plays there own way even if given the same notes. when ever I want to learn something I can always depend on you to give the correct lesson thank you,
Justin, regardless If I can learn to play as it is intended to be played I have picked up a TON of technique and tips from these lessons!! Thanks you!

2:00 what the ... is that? i mean you are the coolest guy on youtube I appreciate your help a lot you make an exellent work! but man the explanation there is wanting. the pattern is confusing cause you change camera before you explain the fret chord lick... is it 9g 10bpull off 8b then 8e 10bpull off 8b then 9g? never had trouble with the other videos but this is not sounding as you sound.

Awesome lesson, I would had killed to have a teacher like you when I was a kid ! I gave up teachers and learned all by myself back then. So to kids today to have people like you posting videos make them so lucky !
I started playing again and decided to learn some classics before doing orinals again, ran into your channel, and what can i say love it.

Hi Justin, brilliant lesson as usual. Just curious which pickups you have in your strat? Thanks. And if you ever get the urge, could you post a lesson of Steve Winwood's songs as played on the 07 Crossroads DVD (Dear Mr. Fantasy, Presence Of The Lord, and Can't Find My Way Home) any or all 3 would be just fine pls and thk you:)

Quoted from Justing website
"I used a 1989 Fender Strat Plus Deluxe into a 1979 Fender Twin Reverb. I bought the strat new (it was my first strat). The neck and middle pickups are the original lace sensor gold pickups, and the bridge is a Seymour Duncan "Cool Stack" humbucker and I have a toggle switch that flicks it to single coil"

get transcribe, it slows the song down and helps u learn it at the pace u want too, thats what im doing, at 75% on the 1/2 fast part of the solo, gotta learn it for a week 2day (uni audition), wish me luck

Thanks, tried it that way and found it to be the most obvious method too.
Only problem I have with it is that I don't have the level of control over the double-down that I would like. The pull also feels weird with that timing.

Hey nice video lesson!
For the fast lick I did get the notes right, but is it possible to play that fast with a pick too? I don't have the proper discipline to cut and polish my nails like that, nor do I have a job where that would be practical.
Such licks return in so many solos, Sweet Child o Mine to mention just one for instance. I really want to get my head around that if I want to start playing past bare chords.
snowblood82 2 years ago
there is a way but its kinda cheating. it sounds good still tho. just use the b string (aside from the slide to the 9th on the g) and constantly hammer on and pull off but...here
b--8h10-8-8-8h10
and keep doing that

You don't have to have nails like justin to play this lick fingerstyle, as i can have managed to play it with a fare bit of practice and i have basically no nails.

about the last part of the solo, i dont quite get the reason of that fingering on ur right hand , why not using ur thumb on the second string and then fingers 1 and 2 on the first ? or is that ok too? thats the way i play it but maybe theres a good reason for doing it your way.
Great lesson btw

I have been playing this solo for years, thank you for clearing up some of the licks I never quite was happy with, I still play it a little different than you because of my interpretation is similar but different, but everybody always plays there own way even if given the same notes. when ever I want to learn something I can always depend on you to give the correct lesson thank you,
