Dire Straits - Lady Writer Guitar Lesson video free download

Dire Straits "Lady Writer" guitar lesson. The next Riff of the Day relies heavily on The Warden compressor from Earthquaker Devices. Mark Knopfler is known for his pickless, chicken pickin' tone and a compressor can bring out the subtle changes in dynamics and string snap that results from this style of playing. There are two rhythm tracks plus the solo overdubs in "Lady Writer" so we do our best to combine all the essential bits in one easy lesson. The intro uses some soulful bending and country licks in C#m scale that flows into the A, B, C# chord progression on the verse. A close listen to the pattern during the verse reveals alternative between two different licks during C#m, one simple a lift off to B and the other a hammer on/ pulloff style between the two chords. Another key chord that many seem to omit when with a single guitar is the Am6 chord as the chorus wraps up, a key element in recreating the mood of this tune. Enjoy your Riff of the Day guitar lesson!
