A response to my earlier demo of Setting Me Up. I was asked to provide a slower version explaining how to play the song. This is a lesson in chicken pickin'.

Very nice, I find this a very difficult song, especially since I am just learning this right hand technique.

Tthis is sort of right, but if you really want it to sound exactly as it is played, tune the guitar to open G (DGDGBD) and put a capo on the 2nd fret. You'll have to adjust the fingering accordingly, but you'll notice that the open strings will ring in sympathy, which is what you can hear in the original recording. Mark Knopfler has changed the way he plays it live these days, to more like what is being shown in this video.

Your guitar playing is impressive and is matched by your patient , clear instructional style. Better than most stuff you pay for. Thanks. I'm inspired and off to pick up my guitar!

Hi, the riff is THE SAME no doubt. Shall you be so kind to post the same slower? I didnt get the starting riff right hand applied to the left one..thanks dude

Great question. I think your way is the way MK actually plays it himself! I prefer sliding my third finger down from the 7th fret to the 5th fret (and my second finger down from the 6th to the 4th) because then I don't have to change the picking pattern I've established with the fingers on my right hand. To play the same notes in 2nd position, I'd have to alternate my picking pattern between strings 5/4/3 and 5/3/2.

Yes, I think they're quite similar. Thanks!
