Here you can see hunderds of hours of listening to Knopfler's isolated guitar tracks, practicing on half speed, with atenttion to each note, plus finding the right tone. Proper way of learning the guitar, bravo man!👏👏👏

I know that many have already told you, but I have specialized in the Dire Straits sound for just over two decades, not only in playing, but in recognizing the sound structures that come out of Mark Knopfler's guitar, you really managed to decipher the secrets of technique and the sound of the master's guitar, he did it like no other, this is an incredible, admirable feat.
You have my admiration and respect, I have learned a lot from your videos, you don't know the extent of your generosity in sharing your knowledge with the world.

Gratitude!

This is the part that Mark said was a guitar teachers worst nightmare.
You have definitely mastered this song, great job and I am sure it is going to help anyone that is trying to learn this song.

Thank you so much for this. The hardest part of the first seconds in the video is going downward with the thumb and at the same time strumming the other strings downwards with the 2 fingers

As a self taught guitarist from the 80’s I sincerely hope people learning from this don’t just think you showed the slow version for fretboard position or picking/strumming technique. If your learning from this, the accuracy at slow speed is a prerequisite to playing it ANY quicker. If you can’t play it slow you sure as hell ain’t playing it quick. Learning to play any instrument WELL is a long game, be patient, don’t beat yourself up, have a “It won’t beat me attitude”, put the hours in and you’ll get there. Best of luck 👍
Thanks Dylan Guitar for sharing your hard earned skills.

Hands down, the best rendition I've heard of this song, and even more impressive, is the exhaustilingy comprehensive breakdown of techniques shown here. I think you might have just ensured Knopfler's style can live on for another handful of generations, my friend. As a fellow guitar player and admirer of Mark's playing I would like to say thanks for this wonderful effort!
