[@user-jd2du1cx8g]

Thank you so much, I watched dozens of videos and this is the first one I find that teaches the real double rake Mark Knopfler’s way

[@robertn2951]

Strats are beautiful ❤

[@guitartommo2794]

Great video. Thank you.🙏

[@dalescriven]

This is great breaks everything down really nicely, I'm fully aware thaty finger picking game leaves alot to be desired so sultans of swing is a personal target this is a fantastic opening primer for me.

[@mikloskanyo710]

Thanks for the kind words. You are right about it being tricky! Took me quite a lot of practice getting the right touch

[@josepabloarosemena5462]

Great video sir,how do you do the strumming,I didn’t understand it really well,I know it’s down stroke then doble rake but then I’m lost,could you explain it on detail please?Also how you do the muting and thumb thing?

[@hiroshi5386]

Bravissimo
Magari sarebbe stato ancora meglio rallentare il movimento delle dita
Comunque uno dei pochi che esegue la sua tecnica perfettamente 👏👏👏

[@1099231]

Are you also using the back of your nails for the strumming?

[@stratnut]

I tend to do the back of nails for down strums and flesh for up strums. The key is to experiment and find what works for you

[@hunterhobbs4374]

Flamingo?? Where?

[@ryanbabcock7503]

What amp are you using?

[@stratnut]

I used an amp sim. Can't remember if it was Voxengo Boogex or Scuffham S-Gear. You can get some good Fender clean sounds from S-Gear

[@hiroshi5386]

Sei bravissimo però anche questo ragazzo è molto bravo
