Agreed,
It's Not difficult to find Mark Kopfler playing some pretty guitar. I think what mesmerizes me is he's always in the tonal spots that ring magnificently.
Here's one I'd not heard before.

Jeff, I don't know that song. Very slick, though. Kind of Clapton-esque, really.
Ah, Dire Straits... Used to love their music.

I have alway been delighted by the fact that Mark is a fingerpicker.

Darryl, cool clip. I wonder what kind of electronics Knopfler's using; sounds pretty compressed to me, but very cool.
When I mentioned Clapton before, I didn't realize these guys played together... Makes sense to me. Is there a Jeff Beck connection here too? Rock on, finger pickers!

I can clearly remember hearing "Sultans Of Swing" for the first time.............. a real guitar tune, awash in a sea of putrid Disco shite !
Loved the first album, but have never really become a great fan.

Memory lane... I remember exactly what I was doing the first time I heard "Money For Nothing" - painting the west side living room wall in my first house. I thought that was the hottest rock guitar song I had heard in a long time.
