David Gilmour vs Mark Knopfler

[@TiagoReeves]

My two favorite guitarists from my two favorite bands ❤️

[@markstergios9851]

Do you realize how fortunate we are to have the privilage of listening to both of these geniuses at the same lifetime?!!!! a

[@davgilmore6858]

David Gilmour sont mes 2 guitaristes préférés. J'en aime beaucoup d'autres, mais ce sont qui m'inspirent le plus. Maintenant qu'ils ne tournent plus je vais voir aussi Floyd et Dire Straits expérience. Ce n'est pas pareil mais c'est toujours un moment de bonheur.

[@andrewharrison1194]

Love 'em both!

[@nayagerganasen8808]

Yes we can not complicate things by comparing them. Both are great guitarists

[@just-a-working-male]

both are gods and need statues along with many other British music legends

[@thomaswilliams-rd2iv]

You cannot separate the two, both have their own unique style and both are equally as good at blowing us away with their excellent mind blowing solos.

[@pablobaldomir9430]

Los dos son mui buenos ..diferentes estilos i sonidos pero ambos son grsndes

[@andytekno]

My two favorite guitarist of all time,they’re styles are worlds apart,both highly talented in their own way.

[@llidopatrick9450]

Two of the best with (for me)Neil Schon Michael Schenker Gary Moore and Steve Lukather Eddy Van Halen Joe Satriani Jeff Beck and Éric Clapton

[@626Late]

Both legends and both my favourite artists of all time.

[@jamesgreenwood8281]

In my opinion Mark Knopfler guitar solo on Brothers in arms (Brothers In Arms Wembley (1988)) and David Gilmor Comfortably numb are the two greatest guitar soloes of all time

[@francescovalente1963]

After Steve Hackett's "Firth of fifth"

[@leocmen]

Exactly, I like Brothers in Arms Live On The Night (France)... Incredibly deep

[@michaelleung5602]

Agree

[@paulfrancis764]

David Gilmore has been to mark knopflers studio in the last month there’s a pictures on line

[@spooksie24]

Agreed BUT: I love the solo on Telegraph road very much too.

[@arturoarastillamo4105]

Un. Gran. Duo .

[@robertofaustinohibener842]

Gosto de David Gilmour, mas sou Mark Knopfler!

[@musicalknowledge6590]

There is no comparison cuz both play different genre and both are legends in their genres😊😊

[@christervainio]

Nobody comes near the greatness of Mark Knopfler, imho.

[@davidchelazzi8773]

Kings of strats. Gilmour is more manestic but MK is more dynamic, you need em both!!

[@malcolmspence2869]

Good word! Where has this little gem been hiding?

[@corbe1970ify]

I always think knopfler plays with direction kind of takes you thru different stages in the song as opossed to gilmour and whoever sort of goes over the same sort of vibe throuout the song, telegraph road is like in 4 parts the beggining, then the little calm guitar bit in the 2nd phase followed by the build up in the 3rd phase then the explosive finish with the solo guitar drumming ending is a classic example of just that, like them both and this little performance doesn't do knopfler any justice but he is from another level of guatar picking absolute genius 👴🏻 🎸

[@joannehack7588]

My man Mark wins hands down. AMEN

[@joannehack7588]

But- it was indeed a tough decision. I love David Gilmore, too

[@moledemort9562]

Mark’s playing is like a T-bone steak and David’s playing is like a Rib-eye, different cuts but both full of flavour.

[@thepinkpatty100]

Agree but who is the beef tenderloin?

[@alvinnaidoo3432]

Fully agree

[@guiltseeker]

for future reference fans.. "Knopfler and Gilmour" THAT IS THEIR SURNAMES...

[@adaurialmeida2993]

Esses dois solos sultains of swing é muito melhor...

[@pamnichols7877]

David Gilmour. Love MK but DG songs simply envelope my heart, I have raw deep emotions she he plays.

[@Zootallures100]

Keep in mind that in this video DG is 60 yrs and MK is 47. Knopfler at 60 was a quieter guitarist than DG. I love them both but I think Gilmour remains in full force as a “guitar god” while Knopfler has softened that side.

[@massimoreffo2269]

Take the best performance of knopfler and the best of Gilmour.. knopfler Is more difficult to play with guitar. Has got more tecnique and minus effects on guitar... But it's my opinion..

[@acousticrybka]

think they are missing a certain chap called Richard Thompson ..

[@massimoreffo2269]

Four notes on guitar... You can hear he's Clapton... Three notes on guitar.. you can hear he's Santana .. Two notes on guitar... You can hear he's Gilmour.. But for knopfler you need only one. And that's all

[@gisellaamoruso3524]

Due grandissimi è sempre un emozione ascoltarli

[@hatemfarouk4455]

Gilmour played heavey metal i Nile song , blues for example Spell on you , he played Jazz in Woman in yellow dress . Mysterious soloes like echoes . Common .

[@JoseSanchez-lg9hi]

They are gods of the guitar and i love the two, but i prefer knopfler

[@malcolmspence2869]

Yeah it's an impossible choice to make. MK's "Tunnel of Love" from Wembley Live in 85 is sublime though. Been listening to it since 85 and it still blows me away today. As for DG? The list of his amazung guitar work is endless

[@massimoreffo2269]

Tunnel of love at Wembley... Truly Amazing!

[@frankiefourfingers6717]

Both legends in my mind. I met David at one of MK concerts a few years ago, so I think they have mutual respect for each other’s work. I’d love to see them do an album together

[@TollGateAB]

Frankie four Fingers was that at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2008? I remember being seated next to a man and saying to myself : « Dammit, that guy looks very much like David Gilmour!! »

[@sinnerboy6009]

That’s awesome

[@bodor.o.c.k.s4938]

Knopfler. I saw Both and Mark seemed to com from another Star. Never have seen and heard such Sound

[@TheForce_Productions]

Gilmour vs Knopfler? Wtf! That's a total nonsense because they were always in the same team. But could be Gilmour or Knopfler vs reggaeton instead.

[@ARIO-kd1wo]

Two great artist!!

[@09EvoX]

Addicted to both here. MK is very quick and clean, a little more on the pop music side, with great story telling lyrics. DG is the master of emotion from his guitar, a little darker in the minor registers, and very emotional and gritty lyrics to go with it. I was privileged to grow up with both, but only saw dire straits once in 1985 I think. Both are amazing!

[@rafy0025]

In a interview DG said that he was absolutly unable to play a MK solo, to complicate for him. Two legends, i'm addicted of both.

[@kmcel190]

Do you happen to know the name of the program? Or have a link, id love to watch.

[@MultiRapo]

Maybe david cant play a MK solo but no one can play a DG solo like he does

[@scottyp1348]

@@MultiRapo GD is an average to good player MK is in another league

[@MultiRapo]

scottyp1348 lmaooooo go try and play a DG solo and then come back

[@scottyp1348]

@@MultiRapo I'm not saying DG isn't a great guitar player I'm saying he's not as good as MK fact. Secondly I can only just play with my cock let alone a guitar haha. I did.t mean to upset you chief ...

Suonare è una cosa. Suonare e cantare un'altra.

I met and hung out with David Gilmour. What a great guy.

[@carlosvazquezcano8746]

Los dos

[@soniasurija8880]

Both legends in their own right, I’m an oldie who was lucky to see DS & PF in concert numerous times

[@javigarcia5095]

I like Gilmour but Knopfler is an autentic Monster. Sultans of swing alchemy versión is......there is no words....

There is no winnner, 2 heros

[@soniasurija8880]

My 2 favourite musicians, i was lucky I saw David Gilmour PF concert & numerous shows with Mark Knopfler DS they’re both number one for me

[@НадяНагуманова-ц9ч]

Гилмор-для ушей,а Марк-для души.Но .....это моё мнение.А люблю обоих,хотя Марка всё -таки больше.❤😊

[@bobalto]

Mark Knofler is technically few inches above.

[@geoffreyfrance9202]

Ha ha. That’s like trying to choose between your children. No either or in this case. Just two legends with different styles.

[@FxnWaySheGoes]

MK is the man. Best ive ever heard

[@pauld7827]

Both absolute legends, but I don't think they can be directly compared. Pink Floyd and Dire Straits are completely different, but are defined by the lead guitarist.That said both are brilliant. I discovered Pink Floyd in 1972 with Meddle and then of course, Dark Side of the Moon. They were both I guess concept albums. I became aware of Dire Straits in 1979 with Sultans of Swing. But can't believe they never had a number one single! But number one albums is a different matter! Brothers in Arms is a classic.

[@7771sandi]

Awesome talents!! I don't believe that they could outdo each other!!

[@sweetassugar69]

I love them both and they really are head and shoulders above the rest of the field......but if I had to pick I would say mark knopfler........no one creates such a beautiful and unique sound from a guitar and his guitar playing is much more versatile...from acoustic to country from blues to rock....he’s Genius

[@leighgibbs4864]

I loved them both. What is the song Gilmour is playing?

[@mevs357]

fat old sun by floyd

[@christiankmoth7565]

What is the Gilmour Song? Anybody tell me?

[@bakirmessaoud2026]

No competition .. no comparison .. tow legends ..

[@mdfawzulhamid3005]

My top 3 favorite guitarists: 1) MK 2) DG 3) ERIC CLAPTON

[@rygdoomed442]

You can’t compare, both legends in their own right

[@wozabrown]

Between the both of them they've produced the best guitar solos of all time. From the first note played you know who it is playing both totally amazing ❤

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

You should have used the last solo of Sultans of swing from live in 85 concert...mind blowing stuff !

[@regentogrin518]

I love them both, but no doubt Knopfler comes first here.

[@RenatoFSales1]

Knopfler!

[@domenicov_versus3789]

Mark Knopfler has a unique style with a incredible technical and cultural background. He his totally different compared to all great guitarists. Mark don't need of numerous special effects for guitar because his sound is in his fingers. His fingerpicking with the right hand is more expressive and distinctive and the natural agility with the left hand (speed, slow, bend, vibrato ecc.) makes his style complete and rich of dynamic, shades and flexibility. I love David but Mark has the divine touch.

[@rathijitdas1609]

I agree wid u.. Mark knopfler is my all time fav .. Soulful purely melodic

[@bobalto]

No doubt

[@adelhoudrouge215]

Exact. You've said every thing. 100 % true. For M.K

[@MarchelloHi-od8mm]

Это совершенно разные стили и способы извлечения звуков,вроде,как римские боги - они разные для разных целей .И сравнивать глупо...

[@thomaswest9634]

They are both Masters with the ability to soar and take everyone with them. Just look at the other guys, right at the top of their game! Both perfect in their own right.

[@claudetemartins5819]

I am 100% David Gilmour.

[@halim0627]

I prefer Pink Floyd over Dire Strait but when it comes to guitar complicity I think Mark Still both legends

[@bobwasp825]

It's kind of silly to compare them really. As both Mark and David have their own unique style, sound and approach to playing guitar. One is not better or worse than the other, just different.

[@lonepoulsen5802]

Mark ❤❤❤❤❤👌😁

[@mesaeddie]

I'm waiting for some clown to post 2 of the most underrated guitarists of all time. 2 of my favorites for sure.

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

Gilmore as the king of Rock guitar and Mark is the king of British country guitar. They are both legends and I have been so lucky to have the opportunity to see both of these guitar gods Live in concert for many many many times and every time it was an experience of a life time.

[@franzweber7494]

This is like Stallone vs Schwarzenegger

[@KeesKouwenberg]

I would love to see them tour together. What a dream ......

[@aminesebbar8517]

Both great artists. But, I think MK is the best guitarist of all time. Inimitable and Very unique style...

[@rygdoomed442]

Often imitated but never duplicated

[@eufraciovillanueva6682]

EL mejor guitarrista se llamo Paco de Lucia

[@corbe1970ify]

There certainly wasn't anyone better during the 80's and 90's he was incredible

It's like comparing Beethoven and Bach. Both living legends and both changed music for ever.

Why I missunderstood?

They were both Living Legend

[@Dub96]

Gilmour is my absolute number one! But Knopfler is killer as well. Love them both.

[@durango.j-onez]

Gilmour led me to Knopfler

[@Kodydog27]

Both guitar legends and hard to pick the best. Mark and David have completely different styles of playing. Gilmore using a pick and knopfler finger style. Although in my opinion mark is the better songwriter, let’s just enjoy them both as todays musicians are pale by comparison. 👍🏻

[@micknott9481]

Both are the best at their game, so difficult to compare them as their styles are so different

[@nunopontes837]

MK definitivamente

[@zeeshanalvi3799]

Both are legends ❤

[@MissChrissyM1]

Ima diehard Gilmour fan but love em both.

[@Smickster01]

ditto

David Gilmour the best.

[@theobelauthe4636]

MK : Certainly one of the greatest guitarists of all time ! No dispute possible ! MK is the best and in addition, he has composed the greatest pop rock songs of the last 50 years.

[@НадяНагуманова-ц9ч]

Сравнивать бессмысленно-дело вкуса.Есть высокотехничные музыканты,есть талантливые....и т.д.Мое субъективное мнение:Марк-музыкант от Бога!

[@christosmaniotis915]

Telegraph road vs comfortably numb solos...

[@normatinarelli9446]

DG is amazing, but MK is in another league. The best along with JH

[@gianlucad8003]

I love both of them , both have tremendous feel and special techniques of their own, you automatically know who's playing when you hear them. Personally I like Gilmour better, really because I prefer Pink Floyd and their brand to Dire Straits, but I have mega respect for both.

[@nicke.3782]

Why must there always be a "versus" or "who's the greatest", or "who's better?" They are both great and they have completely different styles... which makes a comparison impossible based on that alone. The real question is... whose music/style do you prefer? There is no wrong answer, as it is just your OPINION. I prefer Gilmour for two reasons. I love Pink Floyd and the emotion in Gilmours playing. Knopfler is very technical in his playing but I prefer Gilmour when it's all said and done. .

[@sinnerboy6009]

Listen to knopfler more often but got huge respect for gilmour too

[@Lamster66]

Maybe pick a couple of decent solos from both to compare?

[@aksuli1]

I don't get this comparison between these two. They don't even pick the same way.

[@luisguill7283]

Two legends

[@stuartmclaughlin2594]

Nobody comes close to MK. His story telling is pure poetry and his guitar playing is another level to anyone else. DG has played some of the greatest guitar solos of all time without a doubt but to compare him with MK is unfair.

[@theobelauthe4636]

je suis d'accord..

[@sinnozia]

true coz David Gilmour is compared to none

[@martinezq1]

For comparision better is Telegraph road and Once upon a time in the west from Alchemy album - Knopfler on guitar is way better / can play any styles - blues , country , rock with own touch )

[@danwhite8385]

Gilmours Numb solo is amazing but I think his solo for "On the turning away" is his greatest masterpiece. Just my opinion

[@fannyingabout]

Both geniuses.
