Hi music lovers! This channel was created by Pavel Fomenkov and Igor Mikryukov as a place to collect all the best Mark Knopfler related videos and bootlegs in the best quality humanly possible, we took an enormous amount of effort to make each video basically as good as it can be given our limited resources and access to archives. As by March 2020, most of the videos are blocked and the channel even has 1 copyright strike, because Mark's management has opened an official channel and run it flawlessly, so you can say that their brilliant team have picked up where we left off. With that said, and because there's zero possibilities for this channel to evolve, I recommend you to join the official Mark Knopfler Youtube channel or my own channel — Pavel Fomenkov, where I strive to create 100% legal MK related content, mainly my little project "The Mark Knopfler Songbook", where I try to learn every single Mark's song on one acoustic guitar and share my experience with the world. I'd love to see you there! Pavel. P.S. You can find both channels in the "Recommended" section of this channel.

"When you get to the end of a vocal and you've got nothing left to say but maybe the guitar still does"... That may just be the best explanation for why we play guitar I've ever heard. Brilliant.

4:25 ”If you get to the end of a vocal and you’ve got nothing more to say, but maybe the guitar has”

Guitar poetry right there

[paulrobinson]

What a humble dude. A genius and a gentleman. One of the best guitar videos on YouTube.

[timgrills]

This video needs to be about 30 hours longer

[Aerospacer]

This guy just said a guitar is your friend for life. That is the most beautiful statement and it is so true.

[HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Mr Knopfler's passion for guitar is what makes him a master....

[mattwilliam]

-YouTube is so wild, in that you can find some of THE BEST guitarists, in the world, teaching you how to play the guitar - this may not be so impressive to you, but I grew up in the 70's, and I, NEVER thought, I'd be listening to musicians like.. MARK KNOPFLER, and.. JAMES TAYLOR, teaching ME, how to play the guitar - it's.. AMAZING !!!

[JM-nhyp]

You start watching a video like this, even if you didnt intend to, you just can't stop. Seeing a master at his craft, and explaining it beautifully, is a wonderful thing.

[OliverDolgener]

When he kissed his guitar it brought a huge smile to my face. You really can feel the love he puts into the music. Such an amazing musician!

"If you get to the end of a vocal and you've got nothing more to say, but maybe the guitar has..." Fantastic.

[JustMeAndcookie]

Could sit and listen to Mark Knopfler talk about guitars for hours. He has such a relaxing voice and it's so nice seeing him talking about something that he loves. Also, as a guitar player, it's obviously very informative. I'm glad this exists. Thanks, Mark, and everyone involved! Very therapeutic video.

I love how his guitars finish some of the sentences

[mikekopf]

He is a superstar and yet so down to earth. It's like he has no idea nor does he care how awesome he is.

[johnyox]

"Its a friend to you all your life once you've learned to play a few chords, and thats really all you need". Never a statement more true.

[mecagoenlaluna]

He knows a lot of Dire Straits songs, they should hire him.

[classic]

Genius guitarist. He is definitely on top ten of all time.

[SpringOffensiveCat]

He'd be the best guitar teacher in the world:


''That ain't working, that's the way you do it''

[simonbach]

Don't even try to tell me you're not here for the 14th time this year. We all come back now and then.

[ActiveDataTools]

Takes 10, 000 hours to become an expert.
And 10, 000 lifetimes to become Mark Knopfler.
