The shuffle is simple yet so effective! You nail it !

This is really, really impressive Ramon. The best video I have seen that explains Knopfler's right-hand technique. I like that you have broken it down to entry level with an exercise that I can pore over and practice. Fab work, man. Will definitely look through your other instructionals.

I've loved Mark Knopflers guitar playing since i first heard 'Sultans'. I've seen Dire Straits several times back in the 80's. There are bits of his stuff i can play and although it may not sound as good it is a thrill to get close. This lesson/tutorial gives people a chance to sound, even if only a little, like Mark. Thanks for putting this up.

Its a wonderful signature style - I think the best style to play shuffles - Jerry Reed , surely the funkiest country player ever - played in a similar way -

I’ve really enjoyed watching and practicing to this video - if it were on a VHS I would have worn it out by now so thanks again for such a good effort on your part. Is there anything left in the tank on the Knopfler theme? Some of his tastiest licks are on the outros to Romeo & Juliet, MFN, etc! Would absolutely love to see a video on something like that. Anyway, thanks again for what you’ve already done.

Hello Ramon, just discovered your Mark Knopfler lesson, what a great break down. Question on the down stroke with the nails, how do you get the echo/reverb sound? I'm using a Telecaster with a small Vox amp. Also, to get that lighting speed arpeggio move is a challenge, even slowing it down. More Mark is always welcome. Thank you, Anthony

@taylor818e6 2 жыл бұрын

Tried for hours today, can't get the rhythm going, or the same effect with the down stroke with the fingers. If you can share the settings to get sound, that would be fantastic. I also notice you keep your pinky planted while doing it, that was difficult too. Please sir. may we have some more? Thanks, Great Job, Anthony

@barthvapour 2 жыл бұрын

Very unclear as to exactly which strings were being played either by the thumb or the fingers when doing the shuffle, not helped by the camera angle obscuring the fretting. It would have been very useful to demonstrate it with your left hand just holding a still chord first. And I am not a newbie to fingerstyle playing either.

@barthvapour 2 жыл бұрын

Additional after watching several times slowed down... AT NO TIME do you point out that your plucking fingers are plucking the same string as your thumb. You really should highlight that, because it's crucial and easy to miss because it's not very visible.

@grandelusion1148 Жыл бұрын

@@barthvapour He points it out in the first 30 seconds. He plays one string, same note over and over with alternating fingers. Just gotta pay attention.
