[@Zona57Bob]

Two guitar masters - how good can it get? You just gotta 'reverence' these guys.

[@dypskhiangte9733]

WoW.....it's simply beautiful, can't stop putting it in re-play.

[@oggb4mp3]

Self-admittedly he's a guitar teacher's nightmare, but this is what makes him so great, he doesn't play like anybody else because he made up his own way.

[@armellelecomte8527]

❤ wonderful one of the best guitarist in the world living

[@mironr583]

This is music and performance that conquers the heart.

[@orionrodi]

Two superb guitarists playing acoustic guitars to one of Lennons greatest hits. Absolutly beautiful!

[@BrianWMay]

Sublime, thank you.

[@GhstsnGuitars]

Really into the vibes of these songs!

[@MrAlsfan5]

Greatest lyrics to any song of any time. Absolute brilliance and is well done here.

[@guywiththelonghat6912]

absolute perfecetion

[@rosalindahernandez906]

Strikes my heart deeply. Thank you gentlemen.

[@janhammer39]

Thank you Les for visiting my site and for taking the time to comment. Cherio to London.

[@MissDistarr]

There are no words that would do justice with regards to the beauty of this performance or the talent sitting up there on that stage. What word does one use when brilliance and genius has been surpassed? I do love the mutual admiration and respect that shows on their faces. It's heartwarming.

[@janhammer39]

Thanks for visiting my site and for taking the time to comment.

[@MissDistarr]

Jan Hammer It was truly my pleasure.

[@memaseven]

Yes, again....and thank-you for sharing. My son introduced me to Mark Knopfler. BTW, my son is a GREAT guitar player and has a You Tube page also; mostly electric and blues. I'm just an "old folkie", and play acoustic, from my college days in the 60's,,,

[@SurfGreenStrato]

I am so glad these two ended up as friends. Between the both of them they fill my top 100 of favourite and most talented players ;)

[@orionrodi]

@janhammer39 It does not get much better than this! I have been a fan of Dire Straits, and Mark Knopfler since 1978. I was 15, when i heard DS for the first time, now I´m turning 49, and I still love all the albums from DS, and MK´s solo albums, and of course "Neck and Neck" with Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins.

[@jonswoveland]

That is a good observation. I read an interview with MK in which he made the same self-deprecating comment about anchoring his pinky...

[@northerngirl49]

thanks for sharing. One of my favorites.

[@janhammer39]

Thank you Nigel for visiting my site and for your comment.

[@johnlandis2552]

Emily, the important thing about us "old folkies: we age well; many thanks to the poster for this fine example of beautiful acoustic guitar music

[@memaseven]

Love it....great guitar playing..

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

That was very very nice. Just very nice. Two real experts. Two guitar virtuosos really. It's just very nice to hear them bring it down and explore such an influential song in a way that is so free of pretence and self indulgence. But now that I've seen this, I want more. I want to hear what they can really do because I know these guys can really play like few can. There must be a more uptempo number they do. Can anyone recommend? On what track do they really rip?

[@jacobburr7835]

Love this song, I'm thinking about learning it, so beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[@gitterfritter]

Incredible. Thank you for posting this.

+Jan Hammer The greatest picker that ever lived with his #1 pupil. Beautiful, just beautiful....

[@janhammer39]

+W. David Begley, Jr Ain't it the truth. Incidentally my wife's a Kentucky girl.

[@wdachthetniet3512]

2 Masters Performing,thank you for sharing :-)

[@soucoline53]

merveilleux, merci pour le partage.

[@SoniaAlvesify]

Maravilhoso!

[@sauquoit13456]

If John is looking down, I'm sure he must be smiling!!!

[@lelboy]

Sad thing that there are four people so lacking in taste that they can't see how beautiful this is.... Ah well, it's their loss, I guess. Thank you very much for posting. Les (London).

[@Solvet862]

Thank you for the posting. Live in Nashville area. I am often by Chet's statue in downtown Nashville. What magnificent artists.

[@janhammer39]

Amen Brother Michael. We all would make a pact with the devil to play like that.

[@Solvet862]

Nothing is worth that. Is hard work and dedication.

Same soul, two generations

[@nigeltheman3170]

Man its hard to feel bad listening to this, interesting how some music you can just feel the endorphins in you body being released.

[@bigbirdwpg]

@hookups Mark was never trained. He learned all on his own. No one can make a guitar reach into your soul like Mark can. Listen to his rendition of Sweet dreams (with Chet Atkins), it just tears your heart out. Does that to me in any case.

[@smok40]

Mark is aware of the rules of classic guitar playing, though you are right that he was never formally trained...He consiously chose to break the rules, creating his own style..He often talks about it -e.g. sometimes he would pick treble strings with his thumb and bass strings with his other fingers, turning the classical picking on its head just to achieve a certain sound.

[@mydo00]

there's no like music of 60's 70's 80's..john lennon mark knopfler paul mccartney and bob dylan are my favourit of all times

[@jeffsilva]

DI-VI-NO.... não menos que isso

[@leatibus2]

The beginning sounds like Why Worry

[@mydo00]

@janhammer39 ;)

[@SurfGreenStrato]

@janhammer39 No problem, thanks for posting the vid! I have done a 1 guitar-version-for-the-not-so-guitar-gods based on this duet :) It's in my channel if you would like to see it, but it's no way as good as this ;)

[@pavelusa]

I can feel the soul of the musicians and the soul of the composer the soul of real homo sapiens are you homo sapiens?Can you call your self homo sapiens? I asking my self this question every day and I don't get the answer yet

[@jeroenr4524]

what guitar are they using?

[@janhammer39]

Thanks Jeroen for checking out the site. I'm not sure what guitars they are playing but, to paraphrase one of our viewers ,their guitars have notes mine does not have.

[@gondito]

They are both playing the Gibson Chet Atkins model.

[@woodstoney]

Nit picking about a pinky really doesn't apply here as they are playing amplified acoustics. If Mark was a formally trained classical guitarist then I would agree that anything touching the body (top) will have an effect on overall tonal quality. Good observation however!

[@picturedlife1]

Made me realize how young Sungha Jung really is.

[@Charles_CHARLIE.Shafer]

@JanHammer39 I've always enjoyed the talent/art of John Lennon, Mrk Knopfler, and Chester(Chet) Atkins. Thank you for the upload Chck uot my Channel ... m.kzbin.info.channel I'm also on Facook ... m.facebook.com/Chalie.Shafers.page ''NUFF SAID

[@janhammer39]

Thanks for checking out my site and for your comment.

[@dtsenear]

I love this but Tommy Emmanuel plays both of these parts at the same time lol

[@notenjesus]

knopfler looks like bill murray and chet like george w. bush.
