- This is part 2 of my mini series of videos looking at the music and techniques of Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits.
In this video, I show you how to play Walk Of Life. It's possibly not a song that a Mark Knopfler purist would say it's one of his finest, but there is some serious technique going in in the guitar playing that's definitely worth a look.
When you have played it a few times using the right technique, you might view it differently!
Here are the links to the videos I mention:

Money For Nothing: • Play Money For Nothing...
I hope you enjoy my content - let me know if there is anything specific that you would like me to include on the channel that will be fun and will help you with your playing.
Happy practising.
awsome
Thanks Phil, for your hard work with these videos. I really appreciate the accuracy you're going for.
It's my pleasure Torben. Glad they have hit the spot and thanks for getting in touch.
Good lesson sir keep doing more mark stuffs ❤
Thanks! Will do. 👍
Beautifully instructed, and played. Thank-you.
Cheers Jeff. Thanks for the support. 👍
Perfect tone! I have pretty much the same Tele and can’t quite make it quack like that. There are lots of lessons on this song out there, but you get the cadence, articulation and phrasing the best. Nice job.
Your lessons are good, ignore the critics. I saw a conversation thread on one of you other videos (Sultans) about how it can be hard for righties to follow what a leftie is doing on the fret hand. I’m a rightie, find it sometimes easy but sometimes hard. I appreciate you considering using technology to flip the images. But don’t forget, lefties are more prominent in the arts (Leonardo da Vinci, McCartney, Hendrix, Ringo, etc. etc.)
Cheers Tim - that's really kind of you. Glad you liked the vid. I just love what I do and it's always great to share it with like minded people. Thanks again. Phil.
One other thought on the Tele tone Tim. For this vid, I had the guitar strung just through the bridge rather than through the body - I find that although it weakens the sound a little (obviously you can tweak eq etc to compensate) you do get a bit more quack and twang. Maybe give it a try next time you restring (or maybe treat yourself to a second Tele 🎸😉).
Poorly explained ..but good work on your end
No need to be rude Mike. Please keep things respectful and constructive. Thanks for watching.
