  • This song is an absolute MASTERPIECE! Join me as we go bar-by-bar through the fingerpicking for each section, then play each section through at a reduced tempo. Standard alternating bass fingerpicking all the way through - a MUST for any guitar player.

    I stopped the tape 20 seconds in to comment.... because I had just found one of my favorite tunes being taught by one of my favorite teachers. I was thrilled to say the least. I have yet to find a song you couldn't teach this very old beginner....now playing a wonderful new Furch 12 fret. I hope I don't prove myself wrong with this tutorial. Thanks Shane.

      That’s SO great Bill - thank you! Just take it slow and sure and you’ll nail it. I appreciate your encouragement - my best to you! Shane

    Thanks for that Shane! One of my favourite songs. most of Mark Knopfler’s stuff is great. I just love Telegraph Road and the simple but effective Hill Farmer’s Blues.

    Great song Shane, tune and lyrics - have loved this since Knopfler released it. I bought a Beat Buddy after viewing one of your tutorials a couple of years ago - so glad you have an affiliation now as without your influence I wouldn't have come across it. It is a real help and I've become a Patreon of yours in recognition of all the fine support you give to me and other folks - including the kit suggestions. Thanks again from Birmingham UK.

      Thank you Giles - that's really super and I appreciate you sharing that. I hope it helps and nudges others towards grabbing a Beatbuddy. To me, it's an essential practice tool. My best to you in Birmingham....from Canada's capital. Cheers, Shane

    I'm glad to hear you got a sponsorship with BB Shane. I've been using one for a couple of years now and it's so much more beneficial and fun than a metronome and the beat choices are incredible. Great tutorial as always Shane.

    Amazing. My favourite tune. You’ve absolutely smashed it, wonderful. This was my first finger picking tune which I started learning in lockdown. My poor wife had to endure hours and hours of it. Still haven’t cracked Solsbury Hill yet.
