Thanks for these reaaly great insights.I have been watching abd listening to Mark Knopfler for a long time-but with this video I now know how he really does them-not just what I suspected! Can you explain about the technique of extending a solo it started in F majot pentatonic and then went to another string to extend it-is this using the same pattern and how after that? Cheers
Very interesting lesson, thanks. One small question: Under technique number 1 you say; "yes, you can go faster with a pick", a statement which to me sounds counter-intuitive. Given the independent movement of multiple fingers each moving quickly in sequence one after another, I would have thought that (logically) finger picking would facilitate greater speeds than simply using one pick. Or was your comparison based on attaching picks to each finger?
Good observation Eddie! In modern guitar pick is often associated with the potential to play faster. But that’s not always the case as Matteo Mancuso would say, but his is an “unusual” technique amongst technical players on electric guitar. Truth is you can reach a good speed by perfecting any technique.
Mark Knopfler one of all time greatest
