Want to play like Mark Knopfler | You need this FRAILING TECHNIQUE

Hi Everyone,

A viewer recently asked for a more in depth look at how Mark Knopfler does his frailing technique on the guitar.

I have put this video together to look at how this is done. Hope you enjoy it and can get something out of it to use in your playing.

Keep practising!

Phil

Hi Phil, I just brought back to Oz my beautiful old Squier Strat that I had as a kid and decided to make this video my first guitar tutorial to learn how to play it. It is a brilliant insight into MK's style and a great place for me to start! Thank you, Carine

Really interesting that the bass is not played only with the thumb, i never noticed. Might be helpful on my learning of "Done with Bonaparte". Big thanks !

Thanks a lot for this!! 🙏 Would you say this is also a basis of the rhythm of sultans of swing (with a slight variation)? If you could possibly do a video on that it would be much appreciated! I've seen so many videos but the way you've shown this is by far the best of all. Looking forward to more content! 🤓

How do you stop the strings after the nails downstroke?

Knopfler sticks out his thumb much more? And his fingers inside his fist???
