Mark Knopfler is one heck of a guitar player, and sometimes the licks that flow from his fingers seem pretty fast and crazy.
However, if you actually break it down, there’s a real method to his apparent madness, and it is the method that makes his playing so incredibly tasteful and melodic.
This lesson is a great example of how you can break down one of Mark Knopfler’s guitar licks into simple pieces that you can fairly easily apply to your own playing. This lick follows the A major chord very very closely – the more you can learn to follow the chords with your own playing, the more melodic it will be!
