Money for Nothing Riff with distorted verses without distortion.

[chasleask]

The guy even gets the partial harmonics . Well done .

[AdirBenShabat]

This guy cracked and mastered the knopfler code.

[aaronmueller]

Was not expecting it to still sound so good without distortion. The distortion makes it iconic, but the music without it is still a banger

[vitorr]

It sounds badass without distortion. Very calm and killing.

[perfectpiano]

I love how it loops exactly in rhythm.

[TomRAFC]

Honestly, that is this best I've heard anyone do this riff. I've seen honest to god lessons on how to play it and they can't play it right.

[B-]

That is the most accurate cover of that riff I’ve ever heard on YouTube.

[andrewmize]

Mark Knopfler once asked Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top how he got his signature guitar tone, but Billy considered it a trade secret, and wasn't willing to share. After this song came out, Gibbons remarked that Knopfler came damned close to nailing it perfectly on his own.

Now look at them yo yo's. That's the way ya do it..

[jacobbraden]

One of the most iconic, and recognizable riffs of all time

[DirtNapped]

Absolutely amazing playing there. Anyone who's ever tried to play this or any of Dire Straights music knows. Bravo, sir.

[gedhoughton]

With distortion: badass 🤘
Without distortion: melancholic

[tclaffey]

Possibly the greatest riff of all time

[Giiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrf]

This is the song that turned me on to music as a child. It was 1983 I was 4 and I couldn’t get enough of it.

[pw]

Man this is the first time i see someone cover this riff and get It 100% right, you are a great player sir.

[UncyPucky]

Perfect…sounds like most people forget to make those notes as staccato as possible and feel the groove (a flow) instead of forcing it to a tempo

[simonlyell]

Finally a short clip that sounds good on loop.

[durango.j-onez]

He even nails the little rings!! Wow nice riffing man! Loved the no distortion sound just as much

[heatmizer-jim]

WOW! I never even thought I needed to hear that song without the distortion, but that is AWESOME!

[DanielNagy-rodq]

Im honestly surprised by how good it sounds without distortion
