Riff #18: Romeo And Juliet - Dire Straits (Songs Guitar Lesson RF-018) How to play

In this guitar lesson I'll take you through pretty much the whole song, but most of the time is spent on the riff which is the trickiest bit and also the bit most people want to play! :) Hope you dig it.

I'll put some info on the tuning and any other hints I can think of on the web site

Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

we need a collaborative performance with the biggest guitar teachers on youtube. Justin, Marty and a couple others i cant think of

[DutchBOYhursT]

@jacque123ish tuning DGDGBD (top to bottom string) without capo, then just add capo to third fret.

I don't speak english very well but i have translate almost everything and your lesson seems useful, good job :)

However, the audio\video quality is excellent and the song is a real masterpiece

[jonasjar]

Very good lesson no doubt! Professional grade more or less

best guitar tutor on YouTube ..... !!!

[BrianGoG404]

Hey Justin... Great tutorial.... One of the best on the Youtube.. Ive been trying to work out your strumming pattern. But im not quite sure what your doing. It looks like your slapping the low E and pulling down to strum all the notes in the C Chord... When i play it this way it sounds like there's something missing could you enlighten me Please. Keep up the Great Work

[TalkToTheBody]

OMG beautiful, super easy chord shapes but horrendously difficult flatpicking on the other end :D Great tutorial, many thanks. Nice vocals too

[trh6887]

Magnificent, Justin. Your rendition of this great Knopfler song--just one of many--is worthy of the master picker himself. You get wonderful riffs and chords out of that sweet guitar of yours, and your vocal performance is as pleasing as your guitar playing. Some of your arpeggios sound like a fine harp. I'm sure that aspiring players would appreciate your approach to other Dire Strait songs like "Telegraph Road" and "Sultans of Swing." Your instruction is clear and inspiring. Well done, Mate!
