    You youngsters don't know how lucky you are to have teachers like this for free on You tube.Been playing since the 60s and you would have to take private lessons to be taught licks like this.

    You are an amazing teacher. I'm sixty nine and started guitar three years ago. I'm hoping to get this iconic solo down before the bucket gets kicked 😁. Thank you for your very valuable lesson (s)!

      When I started playing in 1990, guitar lessons were 15$ an hr. They're likely more than twice that now. The best thing about UA-cam and free lessons is you can continue to revisit the lesson over and over again.

  • @eddiebeach6092
    @eddiebeach6092 5 років тому +64

    I really value that you don't just explain the solo but also show the relation of the licks with the underlying Chords
    Helps a lot with composing my own solos 👍

  • @robgoodson2212
    @robgoodson2212 4 роки тому +5

    You are the best guitar teacher on line. Not only have you taught me this piece, but also several other advanced pieces, including some of the most difficult Eagles songs.

  • @dougm659
    @dougm659 5 років тому +10

    What a tremendous guitarist you are buddy, your ability to break down and teach complex songs in such an accessible way makes them much less daunting than they’d otherwise be. Bravo maestro!

  • @benwess4675
    @benwess4675 5 років тому +15

    One little thing I'd add to this lesson: at 2:47, instead of barring the 12th fret E and A, play the harmonics instead. You can hear the harmonics ring out in the original. Other than that, thanks for this incredibly accurate lesson. I learned to play Sultans about a month ago, but I'll just have to start over since you've captured so many nuances I missed out on myself when learning the solos.

  • @fociz
    @fociz 5 років тому +2

    The chunk chunk lick which then leads into the 12:45 blues lick are BY FAR the most influential and downright fucking gorgeous and beautifully aggressive guitar licks i've heard in all my years listening to Marks song. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this.

  • @ednaldocunha5733

    Awesome lesson Andy, I tried to learn this 30 years ago using a cassette tape from note to note music. Where you shine is you are teaching guitar, and not just the song. So many great examples on how the chords and scales overlay the lic. Anyone who learns from this lesson will be so much better at understanding this instrument
    As always, technically accurate and easy to follow. I guess it is time to throw the pick in on the floor and get it right

  • @TheStop-MoClone

    That's si fantastic, I'm 64 and playing guitar most of my life without proper lessons or theory but seems I've done pretty good. I just stumbled on your lessons for the first time. Excellent playing and love your method of teaching.

  • @anthonyvarghese960
    @anthonyvarghese960 4 роки тому +1

    Imparting your music talent to rest of the world in a sincere way, makes you a class apart. Your in-depth knowledge about music theories (major & minor pentatonics etc..) is awesome. Even if the whole world is shut down, I pray that your "shut up & play" continue as long as you are alive. With your lesson, I learned all the fills & solos in a professional way. I bow my head before you, like a humble & thankful disciple to his Great Master ! May God Bless you.

  • @louislamboley9167
    @louislamboley9167 Рік тому +1

    Yes, you right about the hardest part. It seems anyone listening to the song is waiting for your interpretation of those 125 notes. Thank you for clarifying the thumb function. I might be able to do this now since I'm close to the correct thumb speed. I was adding my index finger before and never seemed to be able to get up to speed. I've seen Mark play it live, he goes on forever with the 125 like he could do it all day. I'll now call it the dreaded 125. Great lesson as usual. Your the best on the net.

    This is without a doubt the most accurate and descriptive tutorial I've seen. I'm now a subscriber and I'll check out your other stuff. Thank you for this 👍👍. PS, I especially enjoy how you tell us how much you love each lick or fill and why. It's the same way I feel when I hear them and I'm sure many others "it's so good right?" 😊 Yes, it definitely is. I'm a big fan of anything Mark Knopfler

The black T-shirt and background with the bound ebony fretboard keeps everything in focus where we can see what you're doing without anything to distract the eye. It takes the mystery out of wondering if I am capable of playing a song or not. Thanks for sharing and boosting our confidence.

    Great lesson. Was interested to see your take on this. I tabbed this out a few years ago and only got stuck in one or two sections where I just wasn't sure what he was doing or if there was another guitar in the background. I'll have to pull out my tab and relearn this, it's been a few years. It's a guitar classic. Cheers.

  • @keithsymington6068
    @keithsymington6068 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you. all these years I'd be playing that last lick in the last solo (with a pick) and knew I wasnt quite right, not sure why it didnt occut to me that w/out pick would have it sounding more correct. I could get the fast pull offs etc but never could really get the initial two cheeky quick notes on B and E strings before the pull off...not with a pick at least :) Without a pick its kinda like the thumb and finger are dancing together and sort of rolls off rhythmically. One day I will give the pick up for good LOL

    • @teleplucker6802
      @teleplucker6802 2 роки тому

      I use a pick also. I find using down strokes on the E and B string followed by an upstroke with the pick then a pull off with the pinky works for me and sounds similar to the thumb version used by the instructor.

    You are awesome.I have played off and on all my life am 64 now.I have never attempted to play lead guitar untill I stumbled onto your site.I now can play all the lead up to and including the 1rst solo.Not smoothly but I can play it.I was wondering if you use your fingernails to pick the lead or just the smooth part of your finger.I use the smooth part and it plays softly.

  • @imthedarknight-8755

    • @leogaiz7751
      @leogaiz7751 3 роки тому

      easier, but not the mark knopfler way. from listening o a number of covers I can always tell when people aren't playing it the same way as Mark, it has a particular nuance to it. Each to there Own though, hope you got the solo down over this year !
