You're a light in the dark. Thank you for posting this tutorials for us.

[@philcaffrey]

Absolutely my pleasure Paul. Thank you.

[@justinbramwell2434]

Phil I can't thank you enough for this amazing lesson..... I've played guitar for 20+ yrs but never had the skills or confidence to tackle MKs unique approach to guitar but now I do ❤️

[@philcaffrey]

Thanks Justin. That made my day. I love making these videos and if they help someone enjoy playing music, that's a real bonus for me. Thanks for your note. 👍👍

[@justinbramwell2434]

@@philcaffrey any chance you could do a lesson on heavy fuel and calling Elvis ❤️

[@philcaffrey]

@@justinbramwell2434 definitely on the list for the New Year. 👍 In the meantime, here's a little video on the mini lead solo in Calling Elvis to keep you going kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH7Em39vgM6Hgas. Thanks again.

[@lextratherese7277]

You bring the Alchemy solos to the masses. Thank you !

[@philcaffrey]

My pleasure!

Hi Phil. Super grateful for working this out. It’s a piece that I’ve wanted to accurately learn for years especially the fills on the live version. I can’t thank you enough. Wonderful stuff.

[@philcaffrey]

Great stuff. Glad it helped and thanks for getting in touch - much appreciated. 👍👍

[@mikloskanyo710]

Thanks very much for this!!! I've been looking for this version for so long! Perfect!

[@philcaffrey]

My pleasure!

[@rogerbowra]

Thank you for taking the time to reply 👍

[@rogerbowra]

Thank you for taking the time to do this amazing tutorial and putting it to the reach of everyone, not that I have achieved it yet on my acoustic guitar.The sound you’ve achieved is gorgeous,what make is your amp please ?

[@philcaffrey]

Hi Roger. Thanks a million. That has just made my day! Very kind. It's one of my favourite pieces of music ever and I'm so glad that you are getting something from the video. The amp I use for my videos is a Yamaha THR30ii. They are really nice little amps. Perfect for home. (They look great on the sideboard!) The tones they have achieved are really nice and the onboard effects are really nice too. It was a really great addition to the kit bag. I would certainly recommend on to you. 👍

Thank you dear phil for uploading. ❤ Much Regards and love from Pakistan.. Dr Zeeshan Alvi

[@ThreeRoses36]

Hi Phil, thank you for granting my wish 😊 Amazing video as always. I'll get onto it straight away! Carine PS: My next biggest request would be the live version of Brothers in Arms Montserrat 1997. Best one in my opinion and no tutorial videos on KZbin!

[@philcaffrey]

Thanks Carine - my pleasure. I'll have a good look at the Brothers in Arm performance - sounds like a great one to do. 👍

[@paultownsend6043]

Nice one Phil, I learned quite a few bits of this ages ago, but there were parts I couldn't figure out, now to try and find time to put it all together ( if my lack of talent will let me). Ps that yamaha sounds sweet, I have one of the originals and have just started using it again, have 9say for home use I don't think there's anything better.

[@philcaffrey]

Brilliant Paul - good luck - you'll get there. 👍👍

[@guitar-nut]

Great tutorial Phil, one of my favourite tracks! I also own a Yamaha THR 10 ii which is a nice little amp.

[@philcaffrey]

Brilliant - thanks. Yes I love this tune, and you are right, these Yamaha amps punch way above their weight - worth every penny.

[@freeyourmind8305]

Hey thank you for the tutorial, it sounds really nice. I wonder do you have tabs that I can get? I have tabs but theyre just incredibly hard to play and I really want to make this song mine.

[@philcaffrey]

Hi. Thanks for your note. Regarding tabs, i don't do them unfortunately. I don't use them myself. My personal views is that with tabs it is really hard to capture the nuances of MKs playing. I always say that your ears are your most powerful weapon - i always work by ear vs never from tabs and i find this allows me to fully capture the detail.

[@viervalen]

Big respect Phil! Thank you very very much!

[@philcaffrey]

Thanks Javier! Nice to hear from you - much appreciated. 👍

[@robertstevens7887]

I am finding this v helpful, Phil - just a slight semi tone error in the diagram at 7:57 - bass note at G#, I think and all the others a semi tone up??

[@philcaffrey]

Your are spot on. In fact I think the whole diagram is wrong. My bad. Thanks for the good spot

[@zeeshanalvi3799]

It is requested, if you can make note to note video of speedway at nazarath like this .. I learn so many guitar chords and riff from your uploaded video. You are doing very great work. Keep it up. Love from Pakistan ❤ Dr zeeshan Alvi

[@philcaffrey]

Hi. Thank you for your note - really appreciated. I'll add a backing track for Going Home to the list. 👍👍

[@zeeshanalvi3799]

Dear Phil. I hope you are doing well. I am a big fan of you and MK. I would like to request you if you can upload a backing track of ( Local Hero) like you uploaded the back track of Speed way at Nazarath. Much Regards and lots of love to you and your family ❤. Stay blessed. Dr Zeeshan Alvi from Pakistan

[@philcaffrey]

I'll certainly try my best to do that. 👍

[@IsmailsGuitarWorld]

how did you get that tone? awesome! Im a huge 16 year old knopfler fan!

[@philcaffrey]

Hi Ismail - welcome on board. It's great to hear from a younger MK fan - keep his music going when all us old ones are long gone! Re the tone, I have my amp set on a clean tone, with a little gain for "bite". I have a touch of reverb & delay for body. Pickups are important - this is a 90s US strat with upgraded wiring which adds to the tone. Try and get good pickups of the right type - in this case Fender single coils. The biggest factor of all, and the place where tone really happens in my opinion, is in the fingers, which you get from practice. I would recommend always listening hard to the sound you make and concentrate on sweetening the sound. Good luck and keep in touch.

[@xyzcesar]

I love this video, but we do not know how to built the correct tone!

Too much talk I fell asleep watching

Then I think you may be on the wrong channel. Thanks anyway. Hope you find what you need. 👍
