No I do not have a Strat. But, I play finger style having a basic classical guitar background. I am just getting back into playing having been not playing for over 30 years.

Now A Strat is not what Knopfler just uses. He also use different other axes. Note most of his mellower sounds come from a LP which I do have.

Ty for your respose fellow players, but with all of the songs the teachers have on this site, I am suprised they have no Dire Strait or Knopflers ones.
