Jam Track 14: Dire Straits Style Rhythm & Triads Practice

Course: Advanced Strumming & Triad Soloing Techniques

In this video

Let's practice that Dire Straits/Sultans of Swing rhythm now with this Jam Track.

Key tips for this one:

  • Small strumming motion to get that fast but tension free strumming

  • Break down the track into sections to get those chords down (CAGED shapes!)

  • Allow the lead lines to be a break from strumming, keep relaxed when picking

  • Try add expressive vibrato to where the '~' line is above notes
