Ye it's this funny thing where rock players all are good with tapping, sweep picking, alternate picking, economy picking, and are the ones that discover Mark. Yet in flamenco the entire playstyle is drenched with the "rasguedo" technique and this is just the tip of the iceberg what you can do with it
OMG. That's how he did it. Middle finger. Wow. I got the finger picking and the solos down years ago, even the double stop vibrato, blocking my right hand against the trem bridge for double stop bends - but I could never get the strumming. No way to power through the rhythm without being too heavy and slow. Hours watching the old grey whistle test slowed down. So simple but genius. It was probably done without thought. Just natural for Mark.
haha if only you had met and had 1 lesson with a flamenco dude! who brought up the "rasguedo", entire rhythm sections are built around this technique in flamenco
Of the dozens of lesson videos on Sultans of Swing, I’ve never seen someone cover the subtlety of the rhythm part. That double upstroke is critical, thanks so much for sharing!
@@roman-feelguitar I meant the upstroke of the index finger, followed by the middle finger. Is that considered a downstroke, because it goes from the high e to the low e? I’m not sure, but either way, that’s what I was referring to
@@FoardenotFord you're correct. The up or down part refers to the physical up or down movement not the pitch going up or down. idk what roman is on about.
Now this how you do a guitar lesson. No talking. Clear footage of what’s important for the particular technique. All shown in less than 1 minute, yet it provides hours of potential practice depending on the viewers skill level. Great job!
It’s by far the greatest guitar riff/progression ever written. Nothing hits harder than Sultans. Literally nothing. Not whole lotta love. Not Hey Joe. Not Pride and Joy, not Thunderstruck, not master of puppets. Not even eruption. Sultans literally chord progression and feel defines the feeling of a late September driving or the day to day life of going to and from work. It’s INSANE.
Mark’s brother David played Rhythm here. He was the rhythm guitarist of Dire Straits for the first two albums. I think it’s only after that that Mark starts doing rhythm
most helpful information! Played it in bar bands all my life, and I never knew that this is how it was done! Always used a flat pick. Much Thanks to you!
Thanks man. That’s awesome. When I was a kid I would listen to the blue greatest hits album with my Dad all the time. He was the greatest earthly father in the world. I loved this whole album
Congratulations my friend! I'm grateful to you for making me learn this part that I never understood. I'm a Knopfler fan and I can guarantee you that your covers give me almost the same vibes that his guitar gives me. You are unique!
interestingly enough learning Paul McCartney soungs when i was young really got me going on playing with my fingers. he has some really unique guitar parts
Bravissimo 👏👏👏 Il miglior tutorial riguardo questo pezzo su UA-cam Devo solo capire bene il momento preciso in cui suonare il il “La” 😊 Grazie per averlo condiviso.
I sold my guitars. I realized that some can do it, most try and try. I just thought that it would be better for me to sit back and enjoy these masters. Maybe in the next life. ❤😊
One of the things I have found to help get more active is to find an activity that you enjoy and actively want to do. For me its kayaking and road cycling. I'm still near the start of my weight loss but I've started and thats the hardest part
Been playing guitar for 20 years and woukd say fairly good on my instrument but this strumming technique is one of the hardest to learn and you sir master this technique. So fluent, great touch and tone 👌
WOW that's brilliant how he did it then. Every guitar tutorial think he does an like an up and down there while hybrid picking but this makes sense how its there so quick as well. Brilliant.
I was very frustrated by this. I could hear the pattern the way its played on the recording. you can do the song with regular pattern but it so unique that I was obsessed with getting the right way. Nicely done.
This is exactly how I would learn songs when I was a newbie. Started slow and gradually got faster. Sometimes I would go too fast for my brain to process the muscle movements that I would lose hours of progress in a matter of seconds. Fried my brain. Good ol days.
Das Spiel ist komplett an mir vorbei gegangen. 😆 Ich habe damals nach Final Bout die Lust an DB Spielen verloren. Danke, dass Du diese Bildungslücke bei mir geschlossen hast.
After 46 years we're still discovering how he did it.
He is amazing!

Great Video❤
Me 47
Me too.
Guitar George knows all the chords
Guitar John
Guitar Josh
....Mind you, he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing!☺
He dont have a lovely red pre cbs strat, an old guitar is all he can afford, when he get under the lights to do his thing!!
Well Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
i never realized that double upstroke was just two different fingers going in one motion, thats really clever
Oh. I didn't notice that! Thanks, that should help.
It’s a common technique in flamenco guitar. You can spread your fingers as your strum down and get an nice effect :)

Yes he is amazing. I also watched old grey whistle test for hours🤣

Double Upstroke? I think you mean double downstroke? :-) or two fingers going down at the same time?
@@roman-feelguitar I meant the upstroke of the index finger, followed by the middle finger. Is that considered a downstroke, because it goes from the high e to the low e? I’m not sure, but either way, that’s what I was referring to

Step one, buy a stratocaster. Step two, switch to bridge pickup only...
Now this how you do a guitar lesson. No talking. Clear footage of what’s important for the particular technique. All shown in less than 1 minute, yet it provides hours of potential practice depending on the viewers skill level. Great job!
Appreciate it!!
Within the fingering tho.. so really only goes so far

Does the strat have to be red for this to work?
Stupid question. Obviously.
I’ve tried all colors. Red is definitely the only one that works.
@@GodsMan500 facts unless you have a red strat, you can't actually play this song right. I don't make the rules
Depends how fast you want to play. ;-)
Of course🎸

Mark was one of the underdogs of guitar, he played with lots of greats like Chet akins. And yet people dont give him as much credit as he deserved
Agreed👍
Net worth 75 million quid
Rhytm is played not by Mark
@nikitapusnakovs True but its not as if he can't play it lol.
Mark’s brother David played Rhythm here. He was the rhythm guitarist of Dire Straits for the first two albums. I think it’s only after that that Mark starts doing rhythm
Knophler was a beast. Making a technique that’s not easy look as such is the mark of a great guitar player.
Mark Knopfler was a damn wizard. I dunno how else to explain it.
Loved him with Dylan
U mean is
@@dannyhammett5221
I do mean is.
@@jamescooley8099 uh huh🤣
Amazing rhythm…👌👌 feels like western music, a cowboy riding a horse galloping down the valley and disappearing into the sunset 🌅
That’s the chords chosen. Try it with a different progression it will not be western.
If I can and will only learn one complete song, it's this one
If you can learn this one, the rest would be exponentially easier to learn.
I will.
Roy Clark was a legend at finger picking. He was an absolute beast on anything with strings
Wow! I cannot stop watching this. So rad
Thanks!
That’s clean af
most helpful information! Played it in bar bands all my life, and I never knew that this is how it was done! Always used a flat pick. Much Thanks to you!
I love how this just fell out of the sky into my feed 😂 thank you sir
No worries!
Mark knopfler, one of the few guitarists in the world to play rock electric guitar without a pick. A true Master 👌
Check out Andy from Reverb. He plays everything with his hand only. Puts two fingers together like he's holding a pick but he isn't.
Jeff Beck, Steve Hackett, Lindsey Buckingham, Mike Oldfield, Derek Trucks, John Cipollina, ... and me
Man.....the best and most difficult rythm. Awesome
Mark is that you?
luckily for Mark would have been more humble......😂. Good job Bro!!!
People don't understand the picking hand is at times more complicated.
Indeed!
wow, I'm playin guitar 20+ years and never knew that, and u broke it down so well too, that I got it down in a few moments 🤙🏼thank u🍀
👍👍
Guitar George finally reveals the secret!
He knows all the chords. He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright.
Thanks man. That’s awesome. When I was a kid I would listen to the blue greatest hits album with my Dad all the time. He was the greatest earthly father in the world. I loved this whole album
Amazing🎸
This actually helped, close as I was, was slighty off beat with my strumming. Great content
Thanks!
Master piece. One of my favorites. Dire Straits
first time I've saved a Shorts video to a playlist. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for slowing it down for us regular guitarist.
👍
Congratulations my friend! I'm grateful to you for making me learn this part that I never understood.
I'm a Knopfler fan and I can guarantee you that your covers give me almost the same vibes that his guitar gives me. You are unique!
Thats something to be proud of!
I can do it no problem
@@danby8880then you should be proud too
Amazing. I've been playing this song on the guitar for decades, but I never noticed Mark playing it like this. I appreciate you. Thank you so much.
I can just listen to this on repeat and my shoulders bounce...
That rhythm is insane 🔥
This is proof that dreams do come true.
Really nice playing!
Thanks!
Thank you, putting the pieces together..., after all these years
Wow. His finger technique is really one of a kind.
That’s what she said
Knopfler was a legend!
He was!
Is*
He is still alive 😂
Nice😮....I don't read title,. Just watch and listen.....till the moment you realise......😅 really nice song. Love it. Cause of these riffs
Thanks!
Mark Knopfler didn't play the guitar, he made love to it.
Thanks for bringing this unique technical detail from MK! Greetings from Rio! 😊
Sounds amazing love it👍✌️
Thanks!
interestingly enough learning Paul McCartney soungs when i was young really got me going on playing with my fingers. he has some really unique guitar parts
Wonderful music. Timeless.
Bravissimo 👏👏👏
Il miglior tutorial riguardo questo pezzo su UA-cam
Devo solo capire bene il momento preciso in cui suonare il il “La” 😊
Grazie per averlo condiviso.
No worries!
Man… Mark was on something real good that day he made this
I like this more than i should.....❤
❤️
Wrong
Knopfler's unique "claw hand" style as a lefty is why he gets alot of his unique style with his hammer on and pull offs
I sold my guitars. I realized that some can do it, most try and try. I just thought that it would be better for me to sit back and enjoy these masters.
Maybe in the next life. ❤😊
It takes skill to play the rhythm like this. I didn't know this till now.
I never heard it completely until now. Pretty cool. It’s like an extra mini-strum. Probably a name for it that I don’t know.
Your method of demonstration is superb and rare. Thanks!
Mark had such a unique and amazing technique!
Great riff and rhythem!
That rhythm has its own built in Metrodome.
@@boreed5734 right!
Thanks!
@@dylanguitar04 😎
What an excellent video for learning an elusive method.
Keep them coming 👍👍
As a drummer i'm always impressed how you hit the correct strings all the time 😅🤷🏼♂️
Damn good 💪🏼
Appreciate it👍
cool thing about guitar is sometimes u can be off by a string and most people wont know.
love the spring reverb
Incroyable ... on en redemande encore
Merci beaucoup .
Sometimes my ear is pretty good but I've never heard it that clearly. Knopfler is too good. Well done and thanks.
Beautiful strumming and spring reverb!
Thanks!
And,with no guitar pick,just like it's done,sweet!❤! You rock!
That's an amazing demonstration...just tried it out! Thank you!
One of the things I have found to help get more active is to find an activity that you enjoy and actively want to do. For me its kayaking and road cycling. I'm still near the start of my weight loss but I've started and thats the hardest part
That's the strattiest strat to ever strat!❤
Been playing guitar for 20 years and woukd say fairly good on my instrument but this strumming technique is one of the hardest to learn and you sir master this technique.
So fluent, great touch and tone 👌
Thanks!
slow and steady… no no no SLOWER & STEADIERRRRRRR (like this🤘❤️)
Mark is a very enigmatic player, awesome breakdown of a usually glossed over part in the song.
Thank you!
Don't wanna be that guy, but i love how so many people still love dire straits. IK THEYRE SUCH A BIG BAND. But you know what i mean
Could you please put together a full video breaking down the technique?
I could
WOW that's brilliant how he did it then. Every guitar tutorial think he does an like an up and down there while hybrid picking but this makes sense how its there so quick as well. Brilliant.
このリズムって自然にSwingしてくる
I was very frustrated by this. I could hear the pattern the way its played on the recording. you can do the song with regular pattern but it so unique that I was obsessed with getting the right way. Nicely done.
Nice rhythm hand.... good instruction too!
Thanks!
that's why strat is smooth
This is exactly how I would learn songs when I was a newbie. Started slow and gradually got faster. Sometimes I would go too fast for my brain to process the muscle movements that I would lose hours of progress in a matter of seconds. Fried my brain. Good ol days.
Beautiful technique
Outstandingly clean!
Nice flamenco patterns
Thanks
Oh I love that double strum!
Das Spiel ist komplett an mir vorbei gegangen. 😆 Ich habe damals nach Final Bout die Lust an DB Spielen verloren.
Danke, dass Du diese Bildungslücke bei mir geschlossen hast.
Mate that is fantastic lovely love the strat sounds amazing well done bro
The greatest, (along with several others)
Thanks! You really helps me, good job!
👍
Nice work figuring that out
When I started guitar, my goal used to be to play this song, chords, and lead like Mark does
Never thought to try. Very clever!
Nice! thank you.
👍
How cool - thanks!!
👍
Thanks for this lesson
Thank you sincerely!
👍
Best tutorial i've seen so far 🔥🤟🏿
Thanks!
Love this song.
Nice chops right there mate 👍
Thanks!
Wow!! Amazing talent!!
awesome man thanks, i just been strumming it however i wanted but this sounds waaay better!
This is fantastic, could you please go a proper tutorial(adding your comments) on this strumming pattern?
Thank you so much for this!
No worries!
Thank you, Sir!
Thats good , it helped me a lot.
