Poor Boy Blues | Mark Knopfler's Rhythm Guitar Challenge

Mark Knopfler's rhythm track in "Poor Boy Blues" is quite the right-hand challenge. Close to 1400 notes are picked in the span of just over 4 minutes. It's steady 16th notes at 93 BPM for about 85 bars.

I added a dose of Rock-a-billy into the left hand, with the rolling G-G# on the E chord and C-C# on the A. I wouldn't say this take is perfect but I DID get thru it without missing any notes, technically. Whether they were all in time, in the pocket, etc... well, now we are just splitting hairs :)
