David Gilmour vs Mark Knopfler

[@TiagoReeves]

My two favorite guitarists from my two favorite bands ❤️

[@andrewharrison1194]

Love 'em both!

[@davgilmore6858]

David Gilmour sont mes 2 guitaristes préférés. J'en aime beaucoup d'autres, mais ce sont qui m'inspirent le plus. Maintenant qu'ils ne tournent plus je vais voir aussi Floyd et Dire Straits expérience. Ce n'est pas pareil mais c'est toujours un moment de bonheur.

[@pablobaldomir9430]

Los dos son mui buenos ..diferentes estilos i sonidos pero ambos son grsndes

[@markstergios9851]

Do you realize how fortunate we are to have the privilage of listening to both of these geniuses at the same lifetime?!!!!

[@arturoarastillamo4105]

Un. Gran. Duo .

[@nayagerganasen8808]

Yes we can not complicate things by comparing them. Both are great guitarists

[@just-a-working-male]

both are gods and need statues along with many other British music legends

[@thomaswilliams-rd2iv]

You cannot separate the two, both have their own unique style and both are equally as good at blowing us away with their excellent mind blowing solos.

[@andytekno]

My two favorite guitarist of all time,they’re styles are worlds apart,both highly talented in their own way.

[@626Late]

Both legends and both my favourite artists of all time.

[@llidopatrick9450]

Two of the best with (for me)Neil Schon Michael Schenker Gary Moore and Steve Lukather Eddy Van Halen Joe Satriani Jeff Beck and Éric Clapton

[@pamnichols7877]

David Gilmour. Love MK but DG songs simply envelope my heart, I have raw deep emotions she he plays.

[@gisellaamoruso3524]

Due grandissimi è sempre un emozione ascoltarli

[@corbe1970ify]

I always think knopfler plays with direction kind of takes you thru different stages in the song as opossed to gilmour and whoever sort of goes over the same sort of vibe throuout the song, telegraph road is like in 4 parts the beggining, then the little calm guitar bit in the 2nd phase followed by the build up in the 3rd phase then the explosive finish with the solo guitar drumming ending is a classic example of just that, like them both and this little performance doesn't do knopfler any justice but he is from another level of guatar picking absolute genius 👴🏻 🎸

[@musicalknowledge6590]

There is no comparison cuz both play different genre and both are legends in their genres😊😊

[@soniasurija8880]

My 2 favourite musicians, i was lucky I saw David Gilmour PF concert & numerous shows with Mark Knopfler DS they’re both number one for me

[@09EvoX]

Addicted to both here. MK is very quick and clean, a little more on the pop music side, with great story telling lyrics. DG is the master of emotion from his guitar, a little darker in the minor registers, and very emotional and gritty lyrics to go with it. I was privileged to grow up with both, but only saw dire straits once in 1985 I think. Both are amazing!

[@davidchelazzi8773]

Kings of strats. Gilmour is more manestic but MK is more dynamic, you need em both!!

[@soniasurija8880]

Both legends in their own right, I’m an oldie who was lucky to see DS & PF in concert numerous times

[@carlosvazquezcano8746]

Los dos

[@jamesgreenwood8281]

In my opinion Mark Knopfler guitar solo on Brothers in arms (Brothers In Arms Wembley (1988)) and David Gilmor Comfortably numb are the two greatest guitar soloes of all time

[@francescovalente1963]

After Steve Hackett's "Firth of fifth"

[@leocmen]

Exactly, I like Brothers in Arms Live On The Night (France)... Incredibly deep

[@michaelleung5602]

Agree

[@paulfrancis764]

David Gilmore has been to mark knopflers studio in the last month there’s a pictures on line

[@spooksie24]

Agreed BUT: I love the solo on Telegraph road very much too.

[@frankiefourfingers6717]

Both legends in my mind. I met David at one of MK concerts a few years ago, so I think they have mutual respect for each other’s work. I’d love to see them do an album together

[@TollGateAB]

Frankie four Fingers was that at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2008?
I remember being seated next to a man and saying to myself : « Dammit, that guy looks very much like David Gilmour!! »

[@sinnerboy6009]

That’s awesome

[@moledemort9562]

Mark’s playing is like a T-bone steak and David’s playing is like a Rib-eye, different cuts but both full of flavour.

[@thepinkpatty100]

Agree but who is the beef tenderloin?

[@alvinnaidoo3432]

Fully agree

[@hatemfarouk4455]

Gilmour played heavey metal i Nile song , blues for example Spell on you , he played Jazz in Woman in yellow dress . Mysterious soloes like echoes . Common .

[@SamSung-pt1ld]

Suonare è una cosa. Suonare e cantare un'altra.

[@adaurialmeida2993]

Esses dois solos sultains of swing é muito melhor...

[@ARIO-kd1wo]

Two great artist!!

[@malcolmspence2869]

Good word! Where has this little gem been hiding?

[@guiltseeker]

for future reference fans.. "Knopfler and Gilmour" THAT IS THEIR SURNAMES...

[@robertofaustinohibener842]

Gosto de David Gilmour, mas sou Mark Knopfler!

[@sweetassugar69]

I love them both and they really are head and shoulders above the rest of the field......but if I had to pick I would say mark knopfler........no one creates such a beautiful and unique sound from a guitar and his guitar playing is much more versatile...from acoustic to country from blues to rock....he’s Genius

[@evabakosnekovacs4041]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@massimoreffo2269]

Four notes on guitar... You can hear he's Clapton...
Three notes on guitar.. you can hear he's Santana ..
Two notes on guitar... You can hear he's Gilmour..
But for knopfler you need only one. And that's all

[@antonellomanghino7907]

Due mostri sacri❤

[@rafy0025]

In a interview DG said that he was absolutly unable to play a MK solo, to complicate for him. Two legends, i'm addicted of both.

[@kmcel190]

Do you happen to know the name of the program? Or have a link, id love to watch.

[@MultiRapo]

Maybe david cant play a MK solo but no one can play a DG solo like he does

[@scottyp1348]

@@MultiRapo GD is an average to good player MK is in another league

[@MultiRapo]

scottyp1348 lmaooooo go try and play a DG solo and then come back

[@scottyp1348]

@@MultiRapo I'm not saying DG isn't a great guitar player I'm saying he's not as good as MK fact. Secondly I can only just play with my cock let alone a guitar haha.
I did.t mean to upset you chief ...

[@zeeshanalvi3799]

Both are legends ❤

[@rygdoomed442]

You can’t compare, both legends in their own right

[@bakirmessaoud2026]

No competition .. no comparison .. tow legends ..

[@wozabrown]

Between the both of them they've produced the best guitar solos of all time.
From the first note played you know who it is playing both totally amazing ❤

[@geoffreyfrance9202]

Ha ha. That’s like trying to choose between your children. No either or in this case. Just two legends with different styles.

[@mauricettecavalli9493]

Quel beau duo. ....en prenant de l'âge on se bonifie comme le bon vin,magnifiques bravoils ont vraiment du talent....

[@christervainio]

Nobody comes near the greatness of Mark Knopfler, imho.

[@user-zz8nq6cl2e]

Гилмор-для ушей,а Марк-для души.Но .....это моё мнение.А люблю обоих,хотя Марка всё -таки больше.❤😊

[@7771sandi]

Awesome talents!! I don't believe that they could outdo each other!!

[@thomaswest9634]

They are both Masters with the ability to soar and take everyone with them. Just look at the other guys, right at the top of their game! Both perfect in their own right.

[@bodor.o.c.k.s4938]

Knopfler. I saw Both and Mark seemed to com from another Star. Never have seen and heard such Sound

[@pateafenngo4813]

They were both Living Legend

[@acousticrybka]

think they are missing a certain chap called Richard Thompson ..

[@IloveKurtCobain-z5k]

I met and hung out with David Gilmour. What a great guy.

[@Zootallures100]

Keep in mind that in this video DG is 60 yrs and MK is 47. Knopfler at 60 was a quieter guitarist than DG. I love them both but I think Gilmour remains in full force as a “guitar god” while Knopfler has softened that side.

[@massimoreffo2269]

Take the best performance of knopfler and the best of Gilmour.. knopfler Is more difficult to play with guitar.
Has got more tecnique and minus effects on guitar... But it's my opinion..

[@donstubi1635]

There is no winnner, 2 heros

[@TheCandyman75]

It's like comparing Beethoven and Bach. Both living legends and both changed music for ever.

[@MarchelloHi-od8mm]

Это совершенно разные стили и способы извлечения звуков,вроде,как римские боги - они разные для разных целей .И сравнивать глупо...

[@joannehack7588]

My man Mark wins hands down. AMEN

[@joannehack7588]

But- it was indeed a tough decision. I love David Gilmore, too

[@malcolmspence2869]

Yeah it's an impossible choice to make. MK's "Tunnel of Love" from Wembley Live in 85 is sublime though. Been listening to it since 85 and it still blows me away today.
As for DG? The list of his amazung guitar work is endless

[@massimoreffo2269]

Tunnel of love at Wembley... Truly Amazing!

[@JoseSanchez-lg9hi]

They are gods of the guitar and i love the two, but i prefer knopfler

[@javigarcia5095]

I like Gilmour but Knopfler is an autentic Monster. Sultans of swing alchemy versión is......there is no words....

[@arturoarastillamo4105]

Dos. Genios. De la. Guitarra

[@luisguill7283]

Two legends

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

Gilmore as the king of Rock guitar and Mark is the king of British country guitar. They are both legends and I have been so lucky to have the opportunity to see both of these guitar gods
Live in concert for many many many times and every time it was an experience of a life time.

[@bobwasp825]

It's kind of silly to compare them really. As both Mark and David have their own unique style, sound and approach to playing guitar. One is not better or worse than the other, just different.

[@gianlucad8003]

I love both of them , both have tremendous feel and special techniques of their own, you automatically know who's playing when you hear them. Personally I like Gilmour better, really because I prefer Pink Floyd and their brand to Dire Straits, but I have mega respect for both.

[@FxnWaySheGoes]

MK is the man. Best ive ever heard

[@mesaeddie]

I'm waiting for some clown to post 2 of the most underrated guitarists of all time. 2 of my favorites for sure.

[@pauld7827]

Both absolute legends, but I don't think they can be directly compared. Pink Floyd and Dire Straits are completely different, but are defined by the lead guitarist.That said both are brilliant.
I discovered Pink Floyd in 1972 with Meddle and then of course, Dark Side of the Moon. They were both I guess concept albums.
I became aware of Dire Straits in 1979 with Sultans of Swing. But can't believe they never had a number one single! But number one albums is a different matter! Brothers in Arms is a classic.

[@KeesKouwenberg]

I would love to see them tour together. What a dream ......

[@Kodydog27]

Both guitar legends and hard to pick the best. Mark and David have completely different styles of playing. Gilmore using a pick and knopfler finger style. Although in my opinion mark is the better songwriter, let’s just enjoy them both as todays musicians are pale by comparison. 👍🏻

[@cristianopiras7664]

Two Legends

[@MissChrissyM1]

Ima diehard Gilmour fan but love em both.

[@Smickster01]

ditto

[@micknott9481]

Both are the best at their game, so difficult to compare them as their styles are so different

[@domenicov_versus3789]

Mark Knopfler has a unique style with a incredible technical and cultural background. He his totally different compared to all great guitarists. Mark don't need of numerous special effects for guitar because his sound is in his fingers. His fingerpicking with the right hand is more expressive and distinctive and the natural agility with the left hand (speed, slow, bend, vibrato ecc.) makes his style complete and rich of dynamic, shades and flexibility. I love David but Mark has the divine touch.

[@rathijitdas1609]

I agree wid u.. Mark knopfler is my all time fav .. Soulful purely melodic

[@bobalto]

No doubt

[@adelhoudrouge215]

Exact.
You've said every thing.
100 % true. For M.K

[@marceloa715]

Ambos,perfeitos!

[@mounirtajine7581]

tous les deux sont des légendes mais pour moi mark knopfler reste l un de les meilleures guitaristes de tous les temps

[@nicke.3782]

Why must there always be a "versus" or "who's the greatest", or "who's better?" They are both great and they have completely different styles... which makes a comparison impossible based on that alone. The real question is... whose music/style do you prefer? There is no wrong answer, as it is just your OPINION. I prefer Gilmour for two reasons. I love Pink Floyd and the emotion in Gilmours playing. Knopfler is very technical in his playing but I prefer Gilmour when it's all said and done. .

[@regentogrin518]

I love them both, but no doubt Knopfler comes first here.

[@claudetemartins5819]

I am 100% David Gilmour.

[@lonepoulsen5802]

Mark ❤❤❤❤❤👌😁

[@mdfawzulhamid3005]

My top 3 favorite guitarists:
1) MK
2) DG
3) ERIC CLAPTON

[@halim0627]

I prefer Pink Floyd over Dire Strait but when it comes to guitar complicity I think Mark
Still both legends

[@joannehack7588]

cool

[@theobelauthe4636]

MK : Certainly one of the greatest guitarists of all time ! No dispute possible ! MK is the best and in addition, he has composed the greatest pop rock songs of the last 50 years.

[@nunopontes837]

MK definitivamente

[@TheForce_Productions]

Gilmour vs Knopfler? Wtf! That's a total nonsense because they were always in the same team. But could be Gilmour or Knopfler vs reggaeton instead.

[@dancraine9751]

As a guitar player of over 30 years, Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest was my Idol. I imagine a world where these 2 guys get on a stage and just jam. I would love to hear either of thrir interpretations of Beyond the Realms of Death. David is so soulful but Mark is so instinctual and clean. Glenn now has Parkinsons and can no longer play the more sophisticated solo's. Enjoy these 2 legends of guitar. They will be gone before you know it. Until then, we still have Glenn coming out for a few slower songs like Breaking the Law! So happy to be 50 and grew up with true musicianship that these 3 have given us.

[@Smickster01]

yeah, i couldnt be a judge in a comp between these guys. undoubtedly the two best stringers on earth. both masters, both genius' and both magical in result.

[@leighgibbs4864]

I loved them both. What is the song Gilmour is playing?

[@mevs357]

fat old sun by floyd

[@nunopereira6381]

each with their own unique and iconic style, that's what makes them two of the greatest guitarists in the world.

[@user-zz8nq6cl2e]

Сравнивать бессмысленно-дело вкуса.Есть высокотехничные музыканты,есть талантливые....и т.д.Мое субъективное мнение:Марк-музыкант от Бога!

[@aminesebbar8517]

Both great artists. But, I think MK is the best guitarist of all time. Inimitable and Very unique style...

[@rygdoomed442]

Often imitated but never duplicated

[@eufraciovillanueva6682]

EL mejor guitarrista se llamo Paco de Lucia

[@corbe1970ify]

There certainly wasn't anyone better during the 80's and 90's he was incredible

[@Dub96]

Gilmour is my absolute number one! But Knopfler is killer as well. Love them both.

[@bobalto]

Mark Knofler is technically few inches above.

[@franzweber7494]

This is like Stallone vs Schwarzenegger

[@sinnerboy6009]

Listen to knopfler more often but got huge respect for gilmour too

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

You should have used the last solo of Sultans of swing from live in 85 concert...mind blowing stuff !

[@christiankmoth7565]

What is the Gilmour Song? Anybody tell me?

[@christiankmoth7565]

Fat Old Sun?

[@daveclarke784]

Love both but think MK has the greatest cleanish Strat tone ever and Brothers in Arms is the greatest tone period, both probably because of his fingers.

[@albert.b.s.3422]

I LOVE Mark, David is my second choice ... Two legends, I'd like to see them on the same stage!

[@martinezq1]

For comparision better is Telegraph road and Once upon a time in the west from Alchemy album - Knopfler on guitar is way better / can play any styles - blues , country , rock with own touch )

[@fannyingabout]

Both geniuses.
