WALK OF LIFE (OPBk) 2017-12-20 - DIRE STRAITS / MARK KNOPFLER)

First, this song is very deceptive. Chords are easy, picking technique, the Knopfler Flick is VERY difficult as it goes against standard picking technique. Bsically, the measure is divided into quadruplets. the first note is picked with thumb. the remaining four are done with a back/forth motion of index finger only, the other three fingers mute the unnecessary strings. Difficult to do, but well worth the effort.



At the end of the cheat are all of the riffs, and a practice rhythm tab. There is also a posting of the BEST lesson on the tune, it’s 22 minutes long, and in another language … but watch it once or twice, follow the tabs and you’ll get it. There are many other lessons on youtube, but this one gets it SPOT ON!



ZIP includes the usual. Uses one of Phil Flood’s NP HAMMOND kits.
