This is unbelievable. I would say I'm pretty good at imitating knopfler, but this is on another level. Even the ad lib bits of the solo are in his compositional style, and this strikes a nerve just like when I've seen knopfler live.

[@sTRATS_81]

Thank you very much!!!

[@DougsterCanada1]

Mike, you are honest, and give credit were due. So many other fail on that level. Wishing you success!

What's the name of the 2nd awesome song that starts with the keyboard at 8:00

[@kanealson5200]

@@seniorlocalguide It's still the same song but it's an extended version that was done live. 'Alchemy' I think.

[@S.R.Crnt.]

I think this' gotta be my 30th++ time watching this, it does not get old for me. I need my regular fix. This is just so darn good. I wish I could find better words for it. My words simply don't do this any justice. Not only has this video entered a great band to my heart. But also made me appreciate Knopfler's creative genius on a whole new level. How could something like this even have been composed by a mere man.

[@kustaabertelskold]

I think i have finally found it; this has to be the most amazing guitar video in KZbin.

[@RatKingJim]

TheDoo: *Who Hath Summoned Me?*

[@kqh123]

The song is basically one whole lead section with vocals interspersed. It's a really cool song in that way. Even more incredible is how Knopfler did both the vocals and the lead on the track. Great cover from this band and guitar player👍 .

[@CreepyCharlie]

I long for the day when we can gather like this without fear and concern. That guitar playing is nothing short of pure awesomeness.

[@02stampede]

I'm not a musician but this guy has to be one of the most talented guitar players in the world.

[@gillan5]

This is a cover band musician who plays something he did not invent, just a copy, so keep your hair on. This is not Beethoven, just a pop song with a standard chord progression which has been yused over and over in hundreds of songs. Morever due to modern digital devices any halfway good player can extract any instrument, slow the speed down and copy it note by note. So this is a good performance of a great song, no more no less.

[@andrewforte2018]

@@gillan5 Oh my god, how do you make any friends being so pretentious?

[@perunlowtuned]

Which one? The one who wrote it or this guy that plays it in this video ?

[@enderbosstdm2557]

@@gillan5 would love to hear your version over this standard chord progression, I’m sure with modern devices you can slow it down enough to do it justice! So easy for people to rain on someone’s parade about something they have no idea about how hard it actually is to do.

[@arktseytlin]

people chill. gillan5 has a point there. It sounds great, but this should be normal level skill for any guitar pro

[@S.R.Crnt.]

Hands down amazing. Even Knopfler himself might mistake this for his own guitar playing. I need to listen to it again right away, I can't get enough.

[@williamjones3480]

His strumming/picking hand dances… it looks so effortless. I could’ve started practicing for 10 hours a day every day at age 8, and at age 50, I wouldn’t be able to play like this. Beautiful, but … I wish this guy had more success in music. He deserves it.

[@erdiaktan7485]

unbelievable! I didn't know that this song is so hard to play

[@samgray1490]

Not really hard, just a lot to learn. Really rewarding when you can play it.

[@umbertoderos2798]

Let me tell ya, *really hard*

[@DaanTheodenPro]

Not really hard to get the notes in the right order, very hard to master the feeling

It's not hard if you want to play is sloppily - like most covers we hear. However, it is (as a pro Guitarist myself) VERY hard to play if you want to be faithful to Knopfler's feel and style.

[@thestringticklers2204]

Beautiful dynamics. Without question the most complete cover I’ve heard. Majestic.

[@basantasharma8633]

Unbelievable…. All those muted strings sounds are incredible.

[@loreu3373]

PERFECTION PRETTY AMAZING DIVINE HANDS ANGELIC GOD I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR BEING ALIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR HAVING EARS AND SIGHT

[@poweragricolo]

This is liquid armonic love and no more.

[@Gjuby]

f...k, i am speechless. i thought, i can play this rather well, but now i see... i am humbled ;-). hats off to you!

[@gurlerium]

Mark K. should listen and proud. waowww amazing

[@Hawkspring]

Impeccable. Music like this make life worth living.

[@ayoh4864]

Thank you. I'm a drummer and i NEED songs like this lol

[@cerebralcaustic]

Kudos - this is a phenomenally difficult guitar part and you nailed it. Including those those 3-string bends. Knopfler would be proud and Richard Thompson is watching his back.

[@royhammer534]

He is fantastic!

[@tobyd2171]

bravo wolfgang!!!

[@S.R.Crnt.]

this is probably my one millionth time watching this. But DAMN it just blows my mind every time. What a fkn genius Knopfler is, and this guy for owning it almost -if not just as well as the master himself. A beautiful way to honor a masterpiece. .....as im writing this the solo just started......it's soooooo good I could throw up :D xO

[@S.R.Crnt.]

....youtube needs like an uper-duper-mega-Like button or something cuz one lousy Like isn't enough for me to give this

[@davemartinez9322]

You are correct, this is just on a whole other level! when people say music playing comes from the soul .... this is the definition!

[@mikecirque4120]

Wow......Mark out of this body!

[@nachom1971]

Best I've seen and heard. This is the pinnacle of guitar playing for me. Definitely worthy of Knopfler. Thank you for this 🙏🏻

[@Dynamitgeco]

Richtig gute Idee die Gitarre Mal aus der Kapelle auszukoppeln und das Spiel in dieser Form zu präsentieren. Zudem noch richtig gut gespielt, dieses super Lied! Viele Grüße.

[@hermannbahner9929]

Great! Hope you can tour again soon!

You are a great guitarist sir. Nailed the best out of it.

[@gregoryvanhalen]

I play the isolated video all the time and played this one by accident. Took a couple minutes to realize it wasn’t mark.

[@Davelement]

Who needs picks!? This is next level. Then percussion guitar.

[@walterwaldo]

Percussion guitar is percussion, it is not guitar.

[@Davelement]

@@walterwaldo say wut. If it has guitar in the name then it is a form of guitar

[@walterwaldo]

@@Davelement I understood. Any typist should be considered a pianist, after all they are playing keyboards.

[@Davelement]

@@walterwaldo I don't think so. A pianist plays a piano that just so happens to be comprised of "keys". I don't consider myself a pianist typing on these "keys" of my laptop. But I appreciate a good banter about linguistics.
