AMEN

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

This man is the undisputed guitar maestro --plays complex parts so easily --great inspiration!

[@phillbrown7239]

I never understand the argument over who is the greatest guitarist. I ubderstand favourites but its hard to gauge the greatest as too many criteria. For me knopfler will always be my personal favourite as he is the one that inspires me the most to pick my guitar up and just try to play it better... he plays like its just another limb. So fluid and natural. And never a bad note

[@JT-ee1ii]

Exactly, well said. It’s a matter of taste.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

It's all subjective

[@zabaleta66]

True this. For me Stevie Ray Vaughan is the only king but Mark Knopfler is a king of guitar on another mountain just a little way over there......same with Jimi, Jimmy and so many others!

never got the recognition he deserved. i still listen to alchemy live.

[@Buddhamama-on_tour_2022]

I mean 120 album sales with Dire Straits alone. He has won 4 Grammys. And is seen as one of the greatest guitarist of all time. He might not be as talked about as let’s say Clapton or Hendrix. But he has certainly gotten plenty of recognition.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Alchemy Live is one of the best Live albums ever made. Along with Made In Japan by Deep Purple.

You should be thankful for your recognition. They are the ones who missed the chance and to understand his ability.

[@thodorisvlastos6304]

Been watching many videos today . Earlier i was watching pink Floyd and everybody on the comments was like : Gilmour best ever , and nobody will ever top ponk Floyd. Then i was watching Zeppelin . And there it was jimmy page in the comments . An then it was Stevie Ray Vaughan and on and on .And then i come here and it's Mark knopfler . I feel that we're so blessed that all these wonderful musicians gave us all this incredible music .

[@tims001]

@@eltonspurlock they're all good in their own right, the guitar can be played in so many ways its almost impossible to have a "best" guitarist... i love SRV, knopfler, Gilmore, beck, page, clapton, Hendrix... the list goes on. They all amaze me

What a magic interview Mark is so refreshingly Humble

Aside from being one of the great guitarists, Mark Knopfler seems to truly enjoy himself while performing. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's a joy to behold. ✌️❤️🎶

​@@AgentRafa lol why are you people so defensive

[@bloodmoon1956]

Mark,you are an amazing human. Humble,intelligent,sweet.😌

[@Halaldingdong]

For me the difference between Mark and other guitarists is that each of Marks riffs and solos are so pleasing to the ear one does not get bored of listening to them for years and years. Stress the words "each one of them" not just one or two. There is a structure and melody, instead of just sliding up and down the pentatonic notes.

[@RobertSababady]

Yet to come across another musician of this calibre that is so humble and at total peace with himself.

[@stuarthowarth2972]

Steve Rothery, the guitar player and founder member of Marillion is as happy, laid back, and humble! He's a lovely guy, like Mark is!

[@Viktoria-2020]

For me, Mark Knopfler is the best of the best! I listen to his songs with great pleasure. 🌹

[@andrewcurrie7544]

Best Guitarist ever. Felt that first time I heard him. And still can argue and and prove it today. Musically, in style and ability. Gifted and also out works all others chord by chord note by note. Just Thanks Mark.

Such an underrated Legend. Sultans of Swing Live makes me cry every single fucking time. He is spiritually on a higher plane.

[@pedersenist]

I don't get that. Mark knopfler is probably one of the most recognized guitar players and musicians in the music world. He's style is very unique from other professional guitar players.

[@paurushirani2190]

[@AnneDowson-vp8lg]

No, he is not Scottish. He was born there, but his mother was English, from Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland in North East England and his father was Hungarian Jewish. He hasn't got a drop of Scottish blood and considers himself a Geordie, which is a person from North East England.

I was an instant fan from the first time I heard "Sultans of Swing". I had already been a big JJ Cale fan for several years, and his influence was undeniable in Mark's style.

He is not Scottish. He was born there, but his mother was English, from Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England and his father was Hungarian Jewish. He considers himself Geordie, which is someone from North East England and speaks with a Geordie accent. The North East of England has a great folk music tradition and many musicians started out in folk clubs, including Sting, Chris Rhea and the Animals.
