[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

One of the coolest riffs ever. Love the attack he gets on the notes with his plucking. Gonna be a fun one to learn!

Say that's why I love this channel Marty. You always come up with the coolest stuff whether it be guitars. First Facebook shot Facebook shopping. Or how to play videos. It never ceases to amaze me the content you come up withI can only imagine How many headaches you get just for thinking of new content to put up here to entertain? The rest of us mere mortals As always love the video loves a chave a blessed day

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks Kenneth! I really appreciate that man. It's hard coming up with ideas. I keep a digital notepad active at all times and jot down stuff that I think about during the day/week/month ... stuff I believe will be fun or go over well. Otherwise I'll forget it. Haha. Then I work on my list as throughout the week/month and keep trucking. Sometimes I don't like anything on my list and have to dig deep. There's always that second guessing and doubt but I keep rolling. 😎🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@Breegr]

1st here GOOD STUFF now if I could just learn how to play with my fingers like he does

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks for tuning in man!! 😎🎵

[@EricWachob]

Thanks again Marty u are awesome 😎!! Been playing guitar for 35 years I can't wait to go home after work and play it!!

[@DanBaker30]

I remember hearing a story that he approached Billy Gibbons on how to replicate his tone and sure enough From Wikipedia ""Money for Nothing" is a pop rock song.Knopfler modeled his guitar sound on ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons' trademark guitar tone, as ZZ Top's music videos were already a staple of early MTV. Gibbons told Timothy White of Musician in late 1985 that Knopfler had solicited Gibbons' help in replicating the tone, adding, "He didn't do a half-bad job, either, considering that I never told him a goddamned thing!""

Thanks for this Marty, I used to play this years ago in band, always a favourite

[@novotiz]

Clear and easy, best tutorial ever!!!

[@RoofsHobbyGuitar]

Can you do Sucker in a 3 Piece? And go over how to do some of those tricks in the intro? 👍👍

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Great idea 😎🤟🏻

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yes! Nobody has a lesson! Not even Carl! Ur a great source for later VH!

[@flixsymmetry]

Excellent pick! I remember when this album came out. Great song, though, my favorite was Brothers in Arms. Probably didn’t hurt that it was featured in an early season Miami Vice episode.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Brothers In Arms is my favorite on the album as well. So emotional.

[@DeputyVanHalen5150]

Killer cool video and lesson man! First time hearing this tune growing up, thought that he said Money For Nothin' and Your Chicks for Free. Lol😅 I want my Mtv.. My Favorite Dire Straights tune is, So Far Away...

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

I thought the same thing. I still sing it that way. Haha. I like Brothers In Arms. 🎸🎵🎵

Cool one Marty. I read something somewhere about the happy mistake that created the tone on that but don't remember what it was or even if it was true (internet). But it sounds right on here so good goin!

Thanks Marty 🤘 I like to play nothing for money, and the chicks are invisible! 😂😊

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Haha!!! 😂

[@Spyder-jb2xl]

Hey Marty I know it won't have the same feel but could you use a pick and still get it done??

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Absolutely, it will be fine. Mark has a little thumb and finger roll he does that gives it some rhythmic quality but a pick can emulate it. Truthfully it's easier for me (a pick player) to play it with a pick.

[@lore5363]

Hi Marty this time the light of the video is terrible. It seems the light used tò keep warm the grilled chickens. What happened? Of course you sound and teach great as usual! Many thanks for the video of this great Classic Dire straits song.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Sorry about that! I think it looks pretty clean? 🤷☮️

[@lore5363]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker absolutely no problem for me. I said that Just to give you a feedback to the video quality: this time seems not Natural. I think It Is some post production setup because also the usual intro seems different. Than kou for your work, Marty. I Spent last hours to play EVH Panama/hot for teacher than you explained to me in you Channel.👍

@@lore5363 you're very welcome!! I appreciate the input and comment for sure. I think my lights were blue vs tan when shooting. I'm glad the videos help out. It makes it all worth while. 😎

“F**king these notes”??? at 00:00:49 😂 When you play lead notes, with the cocked wah, you get Brian May’s tones from Queens early albums.
