Our first example could be no more Knopfler- esque, fully resplendent with double-stops, bends, slides and vibrato action. While the harmony suggests B Dorian (R 2 b3 4 5 6 b7), the melodic action is derived predominantly from the B blues scale (B D E F F# A) with an additional 9th (C#) in bars 3 and 4. From a technical perspective fingerstyle is the way to go; rest the palm on the bass strings and use a combination of thumb, first and second fingers.
