How to play Private Investigations by Dire Straits - Part Two - Guitar Lesson Tutorial

In this guitar lesson tutorial, we look at how to play Private Investigations by Dire Straits. The song appeared on the 1982 Album "Love over Gold". The song features Mark Knopfler on a nylon-strung guitar, probably a Gibson "Chet Atkins" style classical.
In this lesson, we look at the Middle 8 and the two solos.
The first solo uses ideas taken from the intro and incorporates some fast left-hand legato ideas while the second solo is played against a continuous low E bass note and is mainly based on the E Aeolian mode but also uses the E Blues scale.

Thank you so much! This song was so hard to figure for me. I am a drum player so it is a real challenge for me.

[@cristiangranados2614]

Dude, none of the two tutorials had any real base, you didn’t showcase how the entire piece was going to sound like in the beginning (which kept me in the dark the whole time), and you didn’t provide any tablature. I’m sorry but I didn’t find this tutorial much helpful. ☹️
