    This is the closest I've seen anyone get to Mark's technique. It makes a huge difference in the authenticity of the riff.

    That is soooo useful. Thankyou for making this. I could never work out how to get this to sound right, and this looks like the key.

    I have been trying to get my right hand technique to sound like this for a while, but couldn’t quite figure out how and where I was falling short. This is so helpful!! Really appreciate the video, finally I’ll be able to play it how I want 👏🏻

    Nice tutorial which leads to a new subscriber. Have been a MK fan for many years and Mark’s the main influence to learn some 🎸 picking myself. I’ll stay tuned for more.

    Can you make a video about the left hand? Different people have been showing it differently, and your version seems to be quite accurate to me.

    Quite nice. The second harmonic which can be heard on the album is on the 4th fret D string, at least tonality wise, which gives you F#

    hey man, loved your last video too. if you are looking for ideas on where to take your channel then where I think there is a niche is for a specifically finger style based electric guitars. there's a million videos on improving picking speed and sweeping but almost nothing when it comes to finger exercises for electric guitar. there's a lot of finger style players now beyond Knopfler, Mayer does it, Asato uses it a lot, even Andy "here's my clean tone". There's definitely a demand for this stuff. you've obviously got great technique in this area, I'd love to know to some moves you use while playing finger-style and some exercises to improve in this area.

    Brilliant tutorial thanks! Would you have more videos showing how you play fast fingerstyle licks on electric guitar. Either Knopfler style or your own?

    I need to see your wrist. I cant get how to rest my fingers on the body like that without it. Also, you didn’t do the 4th fret harmonic. Why? 1:38

    I feel like an idiot watching this. Clearly this is the best instructional on how to play this that is out there, but I'm just having a hard time following. I'm just going to have to keep watching until I get it. Thank you for sharing!

      Try to learn as many Mark Knopfler songs as you can. Try Walk Of Life and look up videos that explain the right hand clawhammer technique. Pavel Fomenkov has a good one on Walk Of Life. Learn this and you’ll understand Money For Nothing way faster
