The Mark Knopfler Bend!
« on: May 19, 2019, 04:38:16 PM »
Hello AMIT.

It seems to me that Mark Knopfler has a very signature bend in his guitar playing which he does in nearly every song these days. The idea is very simple:

You bend a random note on the G-string almost a whole step and play the next note on the B-string two frets lower.

Anybody who also have discovered this?

An old Nashville lick.

Imitates a pedal steel.

I would say a blues lick rather.

Edit: Spelling.
