Mark Knopfler actualy has a capo on the 3rd fret, and plays all the low chords
further up the fret board on lower strings so he does not have to move his hand
up and down the fret baord as much, however to have to play it almost completely
differently and i find it harder to play that way, so i jsut stick to playing it
without a capo.
