Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits | Fingerstyle Guitar Tutorial

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon:   / mtguitar  

In today's fingerstyle guitar tutorial we learn how to play "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits. The intro features the iconic guitar hook which is addictive to play once you learn it. The song is in open G tuning and I briefly discuss how Mark Knopfler stumbled across this opening riff by exploring the various chords in this tuning. We go through the verse and chorus as well so you can play the song from beginning to end.

The documentary I mentioned of Mark Knopfler can be found here:    • Guitar Stories Mark Knopfler SkyArts1
