Hello Nikola at 1:58 after the bend I notice the tab says to pick on the 12th frets on high e and b strings before the pull off is that a typo it sounds like it should be on the 10th and not 12th please clarify I want to make sure it isn’t just me

[@nikolagugoski]

I just learned the solos, of a song I’ve been dying to learn for maybe 10 years. I cannot thank you enough

[@nikolagugoski]

Happy to hear that Steve. Glad this helped 😁

[@iluvdaguitar]

Right!😂😂 You just learned both solo? In a pigs ass, you did. If you're trying to say you watched this lesson and...Voilà...Presto... Abracadabra...you can suddenly smash both solos, you are full of bologna, and not a good German deli brand balogna like Stiglmeier, either. You're full of that cheap ass Bar-S packaged balogna made from chicken and pork. I've been a guitarist since the early 70s. The first solo isn't that difficult to get down, but that second solo took me many hours long practice sessions, a couple acute cases of tendonitis, a nervous breakdown, 3 failed relationships, and I lost my house because I was so intent of learning the solo I forgot to pay the mortgage, and I still can't play the goddamn thing!!!! Neither can you, so just stop your fibbing, mister! 😂😂

[@sonofabobo2]

I've been playing guitar for nearly 30 years and this is the longest solo I've ever attempted to learn. Slowing it down and having the tab guide below made it so easy and fun. Thanks so much!

The first video out of several I’ve watched that seems to play the fingerpicking part of the solo correctly. Thank you!

[@TheDeghohun]

Omg! Thank you. Just learning the beginning but made my day. God bless you bro! One of my absolute fav songs of all time. Playing this on a accoustic is tough! I'm normally a rhythm chord player not a finger picking player but I have decided to take up the challenge and learn this!!!

Thanks a lot I m 63, sure I would be able to follow tabs and will try to be perfect in a year or so!

[@adityarajganeju]

This is one of the greatest solo ever but the Alchemy version is even greater!

[@TheThunderwars]

The 1985 live aid solo is just out of this world...

[@pottingsoil]

That's what we want!

[@Floortile83]

I think John mayer plays it better than knofler

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Alchemy unfortunately is their worst album but it includes the best version of Telegraph Road ever played. I mean, no one was able to replace Pick Withers. Terry Williams ruined all the great songs. I'm wondering why Mark did not get it. Pick's melodic playing matched perfectly to Marks guitar work. I'd like to see Knopf and Pick together again... that would be awesome! Pick was with the Dave Edmunds Band as they played in my Pup. I suspect that there was a big argument between the two of them. Shame!

[@user-ev1sh7qi9u]

@@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522 alchemy is my favourite album of all time actually. The way Mark Knopfler plays the songs differently than the studio version and paired with Terry William's drumming is amazing

[@hooflungpoo8757]

Ive heard this song since I was a kid in the 80s. Always liked it but never thought I could play it. Still working on the flow of the last part but I’m starting to get it. This is the best version of this song for me as a beginner. Thank you for the lesson.

[@rupambanerjee2066]

I think there is a mistake at 1:58 where the lick goes from 12b14 at the g string to 12, 12 at B and E string. But it will be 10 10 at B and E string.

[@lucianoxx9210]

Comi The part of solo that you sent me is now correct : (G : 12 b 14) ( B : 10, E : 10, B : 13 p 10 ) (G : 12, B : 10, G : 12 p 10 ) (D : 12 p 10, 10 h 12) * (G : 10, B : 10, G : 12 ) I separated the solo into parts, using parentheses, just because of the rhythm. I was taking a look at other guitarrists solo in youtube and I was all morning studying the solo. Most solos were wrong. But the solo of one guitarrist drew my attention and he played just one different note. In the part of solo that I put an asterisk. In this marked with asterisk sequence I'm going to change just one note, how this guitarrist wrote : D : 12, "G : 10", D : 10 h 12 The note I changed is in quotes. Then, take a look if you agree or not with this change. Thank you very much for having sent me the correct solo. You saved me from having too much work to do.

GREAT TAB! There's only ONE mistake that I caught, and it's on the tab rather than how you play it. At 1:57 you do the bend 12b14 and then 12 12 on the B and E strings, when it should be 10 10. Your tab helped me a lot to play this solo better, but that part (the 12 12) just sounded off, so I checked on other tabs and even how YOU play it, and it is indeed 10 10. Hope that helps to whoever was as confused as I was. Other than that, loved it.
