He’s phenomenal!! I learned a lot from that video - I was just starting fingerpicking with my guitar instructor and we talked about this. Mr. Knopfler anchors fingers just below the strings - I could never get the hang of that so I just kind of hover my ring and pinkie - and pick bass with my thumb and everything else with my index and middle finger.
That Mark Knopfler video is fantastic. I've got to watch it again. So much in it, and really inspiring. (Your mission is accomplished.)
Mika, such a purty girl.

Interesting. I guess each person has to figure out what works for them. I'll be happy if I get chords and strumming!
That’s all ya really need! Whatever keeps you playing is definitely the best technique!
