In this lesson, I'm tackling Mark Knopfler's "Sultans of Swing" with a unique acoustic guitar approach. While most know this as an electric guitar masterpiece, I'll show you how to capture the essence of Knopfler's iconic fingerstyle playing on acoustic.
Starting with the signature D minor progression, I break down the core chords and demonstrate some essential techniques that define Knopfler's sound, including his distinctive two-string rakes and pinch techniques. I'll walk you through the verse structure, showing you how to add those subtle fills and what I call "connective tissue" between chord changes.
Rather than giving you a note-for-note recreation, I share my personal interpretation along with several versatile licks you can incorporate into your own playing. Drop your comments below, and I'll see you down the road!
