Tough one to master John and very well played too 😊. How did you learn this? By ear only?
I remember years back when I was at university residence, there was a guy above me who played this perfectly. The only problem, is that is all he played and he drove everyone nuts.
I thought about doing this but never did because it would probably take forever to do and I have my hands full with Flamenco and Brian’s lessons as it is.

Geoff,
I learned this with TAB and by listening. This would be right up your Alley. Knopfler play edit with his fingers. There’s a rhythm part that is both iconic and cool. You could do it on the side while you are mastering your classic arrangements!Thanks,
John

Hi John, I think I could learn it the same way. Kind of tempted. This is just such a classic lead that everybody knows.
As a side note, my guitar looks identical to yours except that it is a Squire. One thing that is definitely nice on the “proper” fender version is the slick fretboard – I get a nice sound out of the squire but the fretboard is a little rough.

Nice job John. I remember when this was the “it” song for geetar players to learn. The hardest part for me was the little percussive nuances Knopfler throws in. Your Strat sounds great, and looks great. Mine is a sunburst too, but with a maple neck. I’m sure your son really values your gift to him. Keep it in the Family!
Stay Well John,
Ralph
