How to play Romeo and Juliet on guitar | Dire Straits - Mark Knopfler

[Cephas]

Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

“And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.”

[alwayssides]

Fell out with my guitar 2 years ago, it has been staring at me every night, came across your vid and decided to ask its forgiveness. Love your work man, you are a legend. Thank you

[MrFrankeesh]

It's an open G tuning with a capo on the third fret. That Knopfler is a tricky bastard

[Burgo]

After four weeks of playing the intro I'm now ready to move on to the main verses - never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could play this song a big thankyou Justin from Richard in Australia.

Justin, I put my guitar down for about 15 years. I started watching guitar lessons on YouTube and discovered you. I love your teaching style, which is one of the best I’ve found. I also appreciate the variety of songs, many of which I am compelled to learn. I’m just toughing up my fingers again and once I do I’m yours. Love what you do. Thank you.

[DoritoMonk]

Just wanted to say that this was the first fingerstyle song I learned start to finish, and the first song I ever learned to sing while playing, thanks to your video. Took me a couple of months to get it down before I was ready to play it and sing it for my girlfriend, but I doubt I could have done it without your lesson!

Can't thank you enough!

Been a year since I played guitar thanks to a bad string of accidents (gas bottle explosion that left me in a coma, then chopped off the end of my right middle finger, then accidentally planted a knife in the thumb of my left hand, both necessitating a lot of stitches. I've been struggling to find a good song to get back into it, till I found this little gem!! Cheers Justin!!! Love your enthusiasm - keep sharing it!!!!

[robertevans]

By far the best lesson of this song on youtube!!

[aerialdroneservice-aerialp]

Justin is an amazing guitar player and a great teacher. I'm also amazed at his patience to break down every note of a song so others can follow along. I've learned to play dozens of songs from watching his videos over the years and I'm grateful, although I must admit I still suck at playing it's given me hours of personal enjoyment. :)

Incredible lesson mate. At 62 just getting into open G. That was informative and beautiful. Thank you from Glasgow.

[dstone]

I've been playing for thirty years and I had trouble picking this one up. But after a couple weeks of practice, it clicked. Now I can't stop playing it, to the point where my kids tell me to play something else. Such a lovely song. Thanks, Justin!

[tanujsingh]

Who else came into the video being like "Yeah imma learn this song" and then saw the intro being played and was like "Screw this I'm done"😂

[richardsearles]

I'm in my late 60s, and being playing guitar professionally for many years. I thought I was beyond needing online tuition, but this has proved me wrong! I've been struggling to work out the way to play R & J for years, but Justin has made it so easy. I now have no problem with the open tuning or left hand fingering, but I AM a pick user and fingerstyle is not one of my strong points. But I'm practising this now until I perfect it! Thanks Justin!!!

When you learn a song like this, you just want to get straight down to the pub to show off! although this song has been big part of my life, its only now I have started to learn it, Thank you for taking the time to record, May the light of Knopfler shine down upon you,

[StefanGBucher]

What a treasure you are, and what abundance you offer! Thank you!

[GuilleSKS]

Among all the video tutorial of youtube, you're the best one. Always smiling, kind, explaining the lessons clearly, and of course with a great sound. Keep doing this!

We appreciate it!

[claustin]

That lesson was so good. The performance at the end was great as well and really shows your appreciation for Mark Knoppler’s genius. Very well done Justin. You’re a great resource for all of us basement guitar players.

12:15 gives me chills. that smile looks like JSC has just recalled "singing up to girl like that":) i did struggle on that funny strumming, but have been practicing cause the way it sounds makes it worth the effort. hope to see more of ya, cheers from Poland

[hoisin]
