Who ever gave this a thumbs down must be tone deaf!
By far the most accurate guitar tutorials on the internet.

5:19 Alright, I know someone's looking for this part as well, not just me. Always great and very accurate tutorials. Most underrated channel I'd say. Thanks for the vids.

Those who thumbs down this lesson must be a little jealous! Good lesson from a good teacher!

Mark K. is a skilled and talented guitarist. Anyone who can duo with Chet Atkins and make Chet smile has made the rank.

Been waiting for you to do this song ever since I discovered your channel a few years back. Best tutorials on youtube imo

Covering Marc Knopfler is no easy task. And, not surprising, Andy nailed it. Every note, every tone, every technique. IMO, the best online tutor there is.

In a way he was a Katrina victim. Died in the hospital a week or two after New Orleans gor destroyed. I love how he presented the old songs. He was a major force in Delta Blues RIP. Rule! You left us a wondeful legacy i will enjoy it for the rest of my life. Thanks for documenting this music. It touches my soul deeply. And thank you R L!

Man, the way that held note (actually two notes in harmony) sustains and trails off at 1:52 - it's like this gorgeous sort of howl. Goosebumps.

I know I'm just repeating others, but its incredible how CLEAN this is! Amazing demo from the best online guitar teacher hands down.

I think I forgot to breath while I listened. That was GREAT!

I’m semi retired and spend a lot of time scouring YouTube for guitar videos. This is quite simply the best work I’ve seen on this platform. Astonishing to play it 95% as well as Mr. Knopfler. Your lessons are the best for good guitarists. Thanks for making us better. Kudos.

[dougfa]

Can't go wrong with a Mark Knopfler tune... such tasty playing! Well done!

[marcgodfrey]

Got goosebumps listening to that mate, just brilliant...

[jamesincharlotte]

103rd and Cicero Ave near the SW side of Chicago circa 1979 when I first heard this mesmerizing tune come through my car radio. Sure loved all the songs on that album and I was on the hook ever since. Nice tutorial.

I had my guitar on my lap ready to learn SOS. The first video I saw was this one. I got a third of the way through it and put my guitar down and sat with shaking my head with my mouth open. Thank you for doing the entire tune. Consider me subscribed.
