Notes
Studio recording, 1991 (On Every Street album). Mark Knopfler is known to have used a brownface Fender Vibrolux for the album, with Roland JC-120 and Fender Twin Reverb as possible alternates, but Vibrolux is most cited for this era. No evidence of Marshall or Soldano for this studio track. Guitar is a Stratocaster, fingerstyle, no pick. Effects are minimal and subtle, with delay and compression most likely. Pickup selector likely bridge or bridge+middle for solo clarity.
