Notes

Studio recording, 1990-1991, On Every Street album. Mark Knopfler used a Les Paul Standard for the main riff on 'You and Your Friend' with the Soldano SLO-100 as his primary amp for this era. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff, but volume pedal is likely for swells. No evidence of chorus or other modulation in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate fingerstyle technique, subtle volume pedal swells, and smooth, even phrasing to capture the song's moody atmosphere.
