"If you get to the end of a vocal and you've got nothing more to say, but maybe the guitar has". That is 100% the reason why Mark is a legend, he always knew how to make a guitar tell you a story.

[ThomasJakobMusic]

When he kisses that Les Paul..it's not just literally the object; he's kissing his memories, his past, the life that guitar means for him...wonderful.

Mark Knopfler is a guitar grand-master. There are only a few men in the world that have such talent on the guitar. Mark is a living legend indeed.

[chrismac]

I walked the same streets as this man. His music tells a story always rooted in the North East of England. The play between dirt, destitution, and beauty, ring out so clearly.

[luisitodlopez]

Mark has the wonderful ability of putting his soul directly into his fingertips. What a Genius!

[danielshoesmith]

He’s talks about it all in such a candid way. No trying be mystic or showing off, he just makes everything seem and sound so simple yet he’s a genius and just unbelievably humble! I’ve watched this video an unhealthy amount of times lol

[arthurgiannakis]

I could honestly listen to Mark all day about his style and his guitars. I got lost in this. What a natural.

[doctoredable]

In the history of music Mark Knopfler has left us with so many legendary guitar performances both in the studio and live. I hope he continues to play for many years to come. I have seen him live twice and it was incredible.

This old guy should start a band or something

[jasont.]

I love how he's sitting there playing really complicated pieces of music like a master and then says "that's not really my thing".
Music just drips off of this mans fingers like rain from the heavens. Mr. Knopfler is a true treasure.

[colerainfan]

One of the greatest players of all time, yet so humble, and kind. A real treasure.

[mikereplin]

Literally probably the greatest guitar player in the world... I can listen to him play and talk forever. LEGEND'

[matthalo]

One of the many great underrated players. I first heard Money For Nothing working with my dad in his shop many years ago. I’ve dabbled in Knopfler’s style in the 15 years I’ve been playing and it’s challenging. Thank you, Mark for your endless talent and classic tunes!

[jupitorious]

one of the greatest guitarists of all time.. and a down to earth

[benderrover]

its almost like he still doesnt know how good he is.

[kinochdotcom]

I come back to this video a lot. I could sit and listen to him talk and play all day. What a humble guy he is and so effortless and smooth with his playing.

[soberek]

Just a little reminder that he sold millions upon millions of record not by accident. This man is a gem.

[lucianofernandez]

Fastest 14 minutes I ever lived. Mark has pure feeling and charm on his playing. Makes from simplicity the most exciting beautiful music.

[gregsteele]

I could sit and listen to this man talk about music all day. So much knowledge and experience and drive. It's humbling to think of all the years of study this must have taken.

[andyjones]

This is what playing a guitar is about, every new guitarist should watch this. It's about love of the instrument, humility & music. Beautiful, beautiful music.
