[Dm] Hey there, I'm Andy with ProGuitarShop.com and [D] here's your next [G] riff of the day, Lady
[D] Rider from Dire [E] Straits.
This is one of those classic Strat tunes using the middle and bridge pickups.
[Dm] It's also one with [C] two rhythm tracks and an overdub by Knopfler, so we'll be combining
the best of both worlds.
[G] [D] But before we start, I want to remind you about Free Pedal Friday.
Every Friday, [F] ProGuitarShop has a free pedal [Em] giveaway, and all you have to do to enter
is click this link each week.
To get that late 70s [Dm] Mark Knopfler tone, we're relying heavily on the Warden compressor [Am] from Earthquaker [E] Devices.
[Dm] The Warden is an [C] optical compressor armed with [F] the same high quality features and sound
as [Dm] a studio compressor.
The first thing I did was dial in a quick attack and [C] slower release time to maximize
sustain with this clean setting.
I also have [F#] the ratio and sustain amount fairly [C] high, but [Dm] you won't hear any strange artifacts
from this compressor.
And [Em] you can find the Warden from Earthquaker Devices right here at [C] ProGuitarShop.com.
