Always wanted to learn to play his songs. The beauty of his style is the flow; the way the song just effortlessly moves from bar to bar with no abrupt or pushed changes. It just flows. I love that and I am struggling with my first few months of guitar learning - mainly from youtube - and I hope that I can pick up some tips from your site to learn to play even a small little bit of Knopfler's style. I am 42; used computers all my adult life and now have developed some iteration of carpal tunnel syndrome , so its all the more difficult for me to "flow" over the fretboard. But I really would love to learn to play like The Knopf. cheers and thanks glad i found this site today Hello Ingo,

I really enjoy your blog. Could you please explain Mark's right hand rhythm technique or the way you do it? I'm interested in the progression of thumb and ring-index-combination. Can't really figure it out... Than you in advance. André Hi Ingo,

thank you for this article. I really enjoy your blog. Could you please explain Mark’s right hand rhythm technique or the way you do it? I’m interested in the progression of thumb and ring-index-combination. Can’t really figure it out…
Than you in advance.

Alternative: the f on the g-string with the d on the high e-string just like you, next I play the c on the e-string and the e on the g-string, finally the f and the a (g- and b-strings)like you. I cant decide which is most correct? Hi Ingo

How do you do the lick comming in after "and the horns are playing that sound"________? I think I have it figured out but I'm split between two versions? Hi Ingo

Great as always.

How do you do the lick comming in after “and the horns are playing that sound”________?

I think I have it figured out but I’m split between two versions?
