Notes
Studio recording, 2015 (Tracker album). Les Paul confirmed for solo sections in this era; Soldano SLO 100 is the most cited amp for Knopfler's solo tones post-2000s. No evidence of pedal use for this solo, but amp reverb likely used.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique due to Knopfler's fingerstyle approach, dynamic control, and expressive phrasing, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced shred techniques.
