Tunnel Of Love | Mark Knopfler Songbook | Chords

[@paullb2440]

PLEASE NOTE: for all aspiring MK style guitarists, this is NOT how MK plays this song, he plays in std tuning and does not use a capo on third fret. This is the tuning for Romeo and Juliet (national steel part) not for tunnel of love. Credit to Pavel for working this out, but I’m not quite sure what the point is, however it will sure confuse the hell out of any aspiring guitarist who learns this then tries to play along to a video of MK as nothing will look the same. I can’t believe this is actually linked to by the official MK website. Clearly no guitarists running that site.

[@PavelFomenkov]

Lol? Have you seen the video? I explain it's not the way it's played. It's a way to play it if you want to have fun, because playing a few simple chords in standard tuning is not that interesting for one rhythm guitar. Besides, I have dozens and dozens of other videos that are accurate and you write this nonsense.

[@PavelFomenkov]

Sorry, I just got carried away a little with all this criticism from all sides.

[@stumbleinn597]

Away and take your face for a 💩 he explains at the start of this video that it is done like this to be more fun and to sound better on one instrument as a posed to playing with a band.

[@ridhwwww]

@@PavelFomenkov i personally think this is amazing. i just sometimes loop the performance part.

[@guitartommo2794]

In an alternative reality where the internet started in the sixties Mark Knopfler is teaching guitar on KZbin and having to respond to comments saying his finger picking is all wrong.

[@PavelFomenkov]

Tunnel Of Love! Yes, I can’t believe it myself. I wanted to do this song for years, and finally summed up all my feelings towards this masterpiece. It was truly, incredibly, exceptionally hard to pull it off. Happy birthday to me and this is my present to all the viewers. Thank you for watching!

[@makibranemlg5477]

Thank you Pavel!!! Happy birthday

[@gron-go]

Very Hsppy Birthday, @Pavel!!!🥰💕❤

[@JoaoCardoso86]

Happy Birthday man! Thanks for delivering these tutorials. Mark Knopfler always seems so underated that apart from few obvious hits there's not many people teaching his songs. If I can suggest/request an easier song to relax after such daunting task "I'm the Fool" is an easy song for the acoustic I'm hoping to see in the channel in the near future. Thanks again and keep it up!

[@lechu4829]

Awesome performance. Now Lady Writer please :D

[@throughthefog-go]

Thankyou and happy birthday 👍😁🎈

[@gron-go]

Usual my behavior for Pavel's videos: first I like it, then I watch it😁👍

[@PavelFomenkov]

Awwwwwww!

[@jamesnorton7601]

No player on the planet ever could have wrote a better outro solo than Mark. Perfect song

[@DrivingPsychology]

Oh my God. It's like Mark Knopfler is playing Pavel ! Bravo !!! I don't care if anybody doesn't agree because you have captured the emotion perfectly which is the most important thing.

[@Andrea_X-X]

Pavel you're really the Master of the masters. You never stop to surprise myself. My deep thank you for sharing such a lesson.

[@DrivingPsychology]

You're so right, it's not about how much you play, its how it moves people to emotion!

[@anglianreed5218]

Instant like! This is one of my favourite Dire Straits songs. The live version's final solo (Alchemy) is a thing of pure magic. Thanks again, Pavel.

[@JoaoCardoso86]

Finally. My all time favourite song. After countless hours on KZbin listening to the most obscure bootlegs maybe this time I'll proper learn it!

[@PavelFomenkov]

Well, it's not proper at all, but interesting nevertheless :) Thank you!

[@alexp.4922]

I got goosebumps when the video started! 10/10 performance btw

[@PavelFomenkov]

Thank you!

[@sypex_gg]

ITS finally here amazingggggggggggggggggggggg!!!! Thank you so much!

[@davidturnbull100]

Hi, Pavel. Glad to see you are still getting joy from Mark's work...and sharing it with the world. Great stuff. Hope life is being kind to you and your loved ones.

[@MXanderT]

Man this is insane, your talent is incredible

[@keithagnew5934]

This is what I have longed for . I think it's brilliant. Thankyou.

[@lucasmontielvalenzuela9493]

I'm so happy for you. You seem to be really proud of finally getting the full song 😊

[@markroylance1584]

Hi Pavel! Just wanted to say I love your lessons! I've been learning Romeo and juliet on reso.... As soon as I hit those opening chords I struggle to keep my emotions under control! Keep up the great work AND don't worry about guitars at those ridiculously prices... I have a used Gibson Southerner that is the best acoustic I've ever played and cost a lot less than a new car! Seems the more I play it the better it gets! I bought it shortly after my favourite auntie passed away so it's named after her!

[@sypex_gg]

Wishing you a happy birthday!

[@RossD8]

Nice, personalized arrangement.

[@zaplohov59]

Павел, с днем рождения! Спасибо за все песни, подаренные Марком, и скурпулезно разобранные тобой. И напоследок..so far away. Очень жду) просто, чтобы ещё раз насладится этой песней.

[@PavelFomenkov]

Интересно будет её попробовать сделать, очень атмосферная. Спасибо!

[@VazlavUpletic]

С днём рождения, Паша. Успехов в твоём деле, новой хорошей музыки, главное, здоровья. Радуй нас и впредь. Для меня это большая радость, я тоже ждал этой песни, Телеграф роуд и Сикс блейд найф. Добра тебе и всем на канале

[@PavelFomenkov]

Спасибо огромное! Когда-нибудь доберусь и до Телеграфа. Всякий раз страшно браться, хаха.

[@christianrocuet5412]

That's impressive ! You did it ! Really an huge one ! Thanks a lot and congrats !

[@PeterUrbanPhoto]

Fantastic Pavel!

[@lukeo.1863]

I'm so excited to try learning this. Favourite song of all time!

[@hgwells6555]

Congratulations Pavel. Full hit.

[@bloatoo1312]

Happy birthday! Truly celebrated it with a banger.

[@Olivieroz]

What a fantastic cover Pavel - can't wait to start learning this one. Happy birthday!

[@kevo1978]

My favourite song of all time

[@seabiscuit726142]

Mine, too!

[@AndiAFF]

One of my favorite songs!

[@nidannicigov8263]

Congrats! Never stop 😎

[@jphoekstra3141]

wow, can't imagine it nót being written in capo-ed open G after hearing this. Works phenomenal!

[@paultownsend6043]

The holy grail of songs, awsome as always Pavel.

[@AndiAFF]

Happy birthday, brother! Good luck to you! Health! 🙌

[@PavelFomenkov]

Thank you bro!

[@atakurt6055]

This song really is one beautiful movie

[@GG-qx5uc]

A huge favourite. Thanks Pavel

[@wimvandijk6275]

Another masterpiece! Happy New Year Pavel!

[@lulospawn]

Quite an interesting take on the song. Sounds nice

[@lurk7967]

great job Pavel

[@gerardoberlangaiii]

Pavel, you never seem to amaze me. This turned out fantastic. Thank you so much for your work!

[@timurza33]

Happy birthday dear Pavel! Hope you are doing well and we're always waiting for your new announcements

[@lechu4829]

Amazing ! The longest performance and whole video

[@PavelFomenkov]

Yes, it was really hard! And the biggest song so far for sure.

[@makibranemlg5477]

Best acoustic version i have seen so far i think. Been waiting for this one for a very long time. Will probably learn it today.

[@bah667]

Pavel, you are a gentleman!

[@sergel.120]

This is great dude! Thanks

[@PavelFomenkov]

I published the chords for my Open G version of "Tunnel Of Love" on the Ultimate Guitar website. Just by the looks of it, you can say this is a ridiculously hard song. I mean, at least 20 chords! And so many parts, that's insane. I'll update the chords for the next few days because you can't make it right, and some mistakes always slip through. But I hope it's helpful. Pro tip: by hitting the "Transpose" +3 button and "Use Flats" option you can get original no capo chords for the song. Also, I'd suggest trying to play it in standard tuning with a capo on the 3rd fret just for fun. Enjoy! Here's the link: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/dire-straits/tunnel-of-love-chords-3995041

[@TONY-gj3jl]

Io la facevo diversamente, però è bella questa versione! Complimenti!👍👌

[@volkySt]

Thanks pavel. The most difficult part of the Rythm section is to remember so many changes

[@blokeymcbloke7900]

Wonderful arrangement Pavel! Blessings... x

[@awbennen]

It's incredible, you make it sound like it was originally written/arranged like this. Just like any other of the songs you've done.

[@tanpelu]

Joyeux anniversaire Pavel! That's very good work! Always looking for your next video... So happy to have finally understood the Walk of life mechanics thanks to you! Keep up the great work!

[@PavelFomenkov]

Thank you!

[@AWguitar2006]

please do a full version. its such a good backing track to play along to

[@HeyHaydn]

I've been waiting so long for you to do this one! I always love how you focus on the underlying chords and present your own interpretation based on that. Really enjoyed your performance as always :)

[@flaviojordao8568]

Thank you for all

[@yehiawalid6664]

awesome !! I like all of your videos , great job !

[@audia3rs404]

[@chokito5568]

Meu amigo amo suas interpretações, são enriquecedoras para o meu repertório. parabéns isso é musica de qualidade.

[@gabrielepaoletti1716]

Bravo!! Grazie 💜

[@olofpettersson3920]

A late happy birthday Pavel!

[@PavelFomenkov]

Thank you!

[@matteodellafiorentina2794]

you are amazing bro

[@lukeo.1863]

The music video for Tunnel Of Love is classic

[@andybreadley429]

Я тоже думаю, что эта песня как и "Romeo and Juliet" были изначально написаны в таком строю. Кстати, в альбомной версии есть тихая партия акустической гитары. Интересно, в каком строю она сыграна. И, конечно же, огромная благодарность за разбор. Теперь прекрасное стало нам доступнее!

[@blbeats7845]

Nice arrangement Pavel! Can you maybe do “Setting Me Up” ?

[@PavelFomenkov]

Sure, I'll take a look!

[@jasoncalacanislive]

amazing! keep going!!!

[@balacobacobrazilian2560]

Magic

[@anglianreed5218]

The bit you played of the intro at around 10:00 sounds quite like the verses from Monteleone. "The chisels are calling..."

[@PavelFomenkov]

Both are fine waltzes, so... 😀

[@leonardovanin6567]

Tanti auguri from Italy

[@PavelFomenkov]

Thank you! What a lovely Italian phrase, I'll remember it! Tanti auguri.

[@hanselmathew647]

yess

[@clelandstephen4181]

Sounds great in open G, i'd put my money on him having written it in this tuning, as well as many others. What's the guitar Pavel? Gibson? Warm sounding guitar

[@PavelFomenkov]

It's Gibson Advanced Jumbo! Yes, this guitar had a fantastic sound indeed. I also think Mark could compose it side by side with Romeo...

[@clelandstephen4181]

@@PavelFomenkov i think he's probably written many of his songs in that tuning. Once heard him say in an interview that he wrote Sultans on acoustic in an open tuning. It's quite possible to do sultans in a similar way to this and Romeo.

[@PavelFomenkov]

With Sultans the problem is, it quite possible it was a different tune in open tuning, as apposed to just a different arrangement. So it was probably a completely different song.

[@danielarenas5072]

esta genial , saludos

[@evaeliott7675]

❤❤

[@instrudz86]

In the 3:35 Minute i thought you start to playing Romeo and juliet lool

[@davescott3588]

Very different to Straits looks open tuning original in Dm F Major standard tuning

[@vibefrequencyable]

enjoyable to play and sing? you havent heard me sing !

[@MultiStratoman]

Sorry! this is totally WRONG! I've been pleying DS ever since Making Movies came out. It will be great as a troubadur song, but it's not the way he does it I'm affraid.

[@PavelFomenkov]

Not only I acknowledge that, but I state multiple times in the video it's not the way it was recorded. I just find it more enjoyable to play on one guitar than the classic version.

[@Jo-tc6cc]

This reply is AWFUL. What is wrong, is projecting your own subjective, narrow minded view onto others and judge their interpretation as wrong. Especially with Pavel who has shown time and time again to be an indispensable asset to this community. Why on earth would you say such a thing.
