Dire Straits Style Guitar Backing Track Lady Writer Jam (C# Minor)

Dire Straits Style Guitar Backing Track | Lady Writer Solo Jam [C# Minor / E Major - 147 BPM]

This jam track is based on the chords to Lady Writer By Dire Straits. Get that twangy Fender out and use a vintage Black Face clean tone with a compressor to make it spank! If you are really doing right, play it finger-style!

Mark Knopfler tends to use these chords a lot: Im bVI bVII - and then he pops into the relative major for some variety. The great thing about this is you get 2 KEYS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! Your C# minor pentatonic magically transforms into E major, giving a fresh perspective on the same licks! Work in those Aeolian notes (which magically become Ionian) into your normal pentatonic licks for more style.

Some Simple Shred Suggestions:


① Keep it simple, and repeat good ideas and sounds you like.

② Try to play what's in your head, not what you're looking at (like those chord grids up there) or what your fingers have "memorized".

③ Be expressive! Try to add hammer-ons, string rakes, palm mutes, pull-offs, bends, slides, vibrato, or whammy bar to as many notes as you can! Listen to the pros, I guarantee that's what they're doing, unless they're shredding at a million notes a second.

④ Most importantly: Learn some useful vocabulary! You must either copy some phrases from someone else, or come up with your own phrases to play. Music is a language with MANY dialects - you MUST learn the basics of the language to sound good, AND a the idiosyncrasies of the dialect to sound hip! That, or you're some kind of genius who automatically knows what do do (doubtful) so don't be lazy! Learn some basic blues licks, they will take you far! I learned some Dave Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix licks 20 years ago and I still play 'em all the time!
