    I am sure that Mark Knopfler never imagined that his song could fall into as good hands as yours. As an amateur guitarist, I would settle for holding the guitar as you do because what it is to play it just like I don't think I will achieve in this life.
    I watch in amazement how 189 dislike it maybe they think they would have done better ... sometimes I don't understand people ...

    I have been using UA-cam for years, decade even... and it's the first Ad I voluntarily let played until the last second! Congratulations B&G for doing it that way.
    The sound is amazing and give me desire to check your guitars... but it's really the emotions in the play... you really picked an awesome guitarist here to demo your guitars.
    It's probably one of the best version of Brother in Arms I heard so far.... and generally I don't like covers.
    I like so much that now I want to find the Tabs to learn it... maybe even on a B&G guitar... so yeah, great Ad; it worked... at least on me!

    • @BGHandmadeGuitars
      @BGHandmadeGuitars  7 років тому +3

      This guitar in the video has a mahogany top with just a hint of amber. So it's the natural color of the wood, and the Crossroads comes only with maple tops. Besides, the Crossroads comes only in Tobacco Burst at the moment :)

      @danguee1 6 років тому

      Although it's a pleasant work in its own right, it is rather texturally and emotionally flat - especially compared with the original which expresses a range of emotions, has gorgeous 'feel', great vocals, moving keyboards etc. It also has quite a few flaws, too. Having said that, voting it down is possibly too harsh. Just abstain and move on is about right for me...

    • @mke7605
      @mke7605 5 років тому +2

      danguee1 I disagree. I think the guy fully gets the atmosphere of the song with his limited means, being only one guitar. He plays quite dynamically just like the original is.
      The flaws I don't follow, apart from the fact that this is obviously a one take recording, so naturally his right hand is not always perfect, but I think no guitar player is.

    It’s been said by others. 1st ad I watched fully, searched again afterwards, love the B&G natural mahogany guitar, fantastic rendition! Great motivation for how a guitar can be played, and sound (doesn’t hurt that it’s a great song too).
