  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson we will play in the style of Mark Knopfler.

    He had a huge influence on my playing and I absolute love his melodic phrasing, so I though to record a little tribute to one of my favorite guitar player.

    I focused a lot on his legato, glissando and fingerpicking techniques.
