@@duradim1 Maybe it's just me. When I was 19 yrs old,(now I am 64) it was all about Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page & of course Guitar George. At that time I was only into the Beatles. But lately very much into Eric Clapton. I just don't remember my friends talking about Knopfler. I guess he came along a little later, when I was raising kids, had no time 4 music, so I kind of thought I discovered him LOL! thanks 4 your reply, I'm just old & weird :( So glad everyone else did & does get his amazing talent :)
when ever mark knopfler launches into his powerful solos you can almost see sparks flying from his fingers...i always get chills when he does his solos especially on sultans of swing
Knopfler is a genius. That fingerpicking technic is so unique and just brilliant. And the little things what he is doing while playing ”just riffs” are just sooooo incredibly smooth and intelligence. I’ve been his fan for so long. You can always say when this Master is playing, without knowing the song or seeing the player.
without a shadow of doubt, the greatest guitarist and greatest guitar solo in the history of music, no one else could even come within a million miles of Mark Knopfler. he is a legend of epic proportions!
Allen Collins on Freebird is my favorite and Don Felder on Hotel California is my 2nd favorite with Mark Knopfler on Sultans Of Swing my 3rd favorite. But this is a great solo!
Mark Knopfler has always been a real professional, being absolutely perfect in every exhibition. But you can feel when one is also really enjoying what he's doing and in this clip you can perceive that he is really enjoying his moment.
Mark knopfler thé best guitarist and david gilmour .my only 2 favs. 30 years i love dire straits .and Mark knopfler my best best guitarist...of my live
I am a humongous fan and it warms my heart to see so many other fans express their love and enjoyment of this man’s immense talent and the music he, along with his band members have created for us.
I'm here trying to relax after business all day and nothing was helping me chill out then this video came on and I was free for a couple of minutes. The weed helped also.
it doen't happen to me very often that I hear a song and love it immediately. This is one of it. Love at first listening. So great. Love&Peace from Berlin, Germany
My favourite live version of Sultans is from the Nelson Mandela tribute concert at Wembley when Clapton guested on rhythm guitar. How true it is but I heard somewhere that although he's played the song hundreds of time the closing solo is always different with him just going where the guitar takes him. You can't teach this, it's just genius. He's the reason I decided to start learning guitar 7 weeks ago, not that I have any illusions that I'd ever be able to produce a sound like this.
You lose the moment you start thinking you cannot recreate this. Trust me always think that you can hit what knopfler can do. Aim for the moon even if you miss, you’ll land among stars.
still the best guitarist in the world Mark Knopfler you should be a very proud man with the gift you have been given. love all you music... fan from the good old emerald green
OMG this #Magicalfingeres #guitarmonster is unreal! and I'm a Maiden fan but this is angel guitar! if you don't love this music is not your love period.
my wife shared this clip with me on an easy Sunday morn. in her words, ten minutes of amazing nuance. do yourself a favor and groove on the jam in the last five minutes. guitar (and piano) subtleties that don't lose the song - like the improvisational jazz greats.
What are people listening to these days? The 70's and 80's produced the geniuses of rock, among them Mark Knopfler. There's nothing out there now that can compare to this. Knopfler is a genius.
four cats . Too true. Are there any bands around now that we will be listening to with such joy in 20 years time. For me it will probably still be stuff like this!
of course they are top notch musicians etc, but please contemplate, that all over this world there is always incredible music being made. you just have to seek it out. completely different genres etc.
DIRE STRAITS GET THE JOB DONE QUITE WELL ! They learned how to gel with the best of them . From Guitarists to Drums and Keyboards ; they are Awesome in every way ! Carlito F. 2021 ♦️ U. S. A. ✓
