im playing the chords normally and it sounds the exact fkin same but can someone tell me what im supposed to be doing on these chords

#

i thought a circle was a natural harmonic and i cant even do those on the third and sixth fret right?

#

unless i use my right hand on the fret board

#

is that what im supposed to do

#

that does not seem right

The cursor above is on a rest, so I'm guessing you mean the chord next to it, correct? You are referring to the circle/dot above it?

that's a Staccato, which means it's played short and sharp. So basically, you release pressure on your fretting hand after you play it. You should also emphasize (play a bit louder) these chords at the same time to get that typical Knopfler sound.
