Habits of Mark Knopfler

The guitar habits of Mark Knopfler include some of the most intricate attention to detail I've attempted to explain in this Habits of... series so far. With superb touch and an uncanny sense of serving the song, Knopfler's uniquely sparse and pointed finger-style is an extremely interesting approach to the guitar. His extreme reliance on triads, which you can learn more about in depth in Guitar Super System, is also what helps him pick and choose his notes like the guitar master he is.
