Sultans of Steel - Knopfler arpeggios for C6 lap steel

[Andy Volk]

Musician-producer-commentator Rick Beato has a nice YouTube video talking about how, years ago, he first learned how Mark Knopfler used arpeggios in "Sultans of Swing" to outline the chord changes. Here are a few arpeggio licks he demo'd plus one of my own. These are really versatile for a whole bunch of rythmic feels and phrasing. I just did a "quick and simple" example.

Here's Mark knopfler's first solo on the original recording of Sultan's of Swing. You can see/hear a number of arpeggio licks similar to those above.
