Mark Knopfler is THE reason I picked up the guitar as a kid, and even now in my 30's still makes me want to work even harder on my finger picking technique, still prefer a plectrum. Love the video guys.
He didn't work in the shop... he was visiting the shop, in New York, and overheard one of the staff watching MTV and saying those iconic lines. He tells the tale on a Parkinson's interview...
I love the irony. Guy griping about rockstar making money. Behind him, is a rockstar, writing down his gripings, to make one of the most iconic rock songs ever. Which will no doubt be playing on those same tvs later that year, and he will probably be saying the same things about the song written with his lyrics.
+Rabea Massaad That was truly spot on, sounded great and indeed for a fair price :) Now, can I give suggestions three truly hard ones if I may: Alex Lifeson from Rush (Can do Geddy too, his sound should be slightly easier) Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and oh, so many other projects Adam Jones from Tool These should be a right proper challenge for ye lads, eh?
Another video to prove that Knopfler's sound is the most underrated in the world. People start thinking it's easy. Then they start thinking it's possible to replicate it easily. Then they record a video to say they have succeeded. And then they fail so miserably that they realise the only easy thing about the whole process is that: to fail.
Ok. Dont shoot me but i just heard money from nothing like last year. AND OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING. LIKE HOLY SHIT THAT OPENING RIFF IS GOD LIKE.
If my parents told me that's how I reacted to Dire Straits and in particular the guitar solos, I would absolutely style my guitar technique after the great Mark Knopfler. There's clearly a natural connection. Pretty cool.
The source for Money for Nothing wasn't someone he met at work when he was young -- MTV was only founded in 1981. It was some "meathead", as he called him, in a shop some time in the 80s. The song was recorded on a Les Paul, not a Strat and the rhythm parts on Sultans (5:18) and all the songs on the first two albums were by his brother, David Knopfler.
Congratulations guys, once again this goes to prive how much tone is in the hands of the player, and Bea did a great job coming real close to the legend that Mark is. And a very nice sounding rig overall. Thanks guys !
Good amp choice and thanks for the video. Mark Knopfler actually did a concert using 2 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe's. The tone was unbelievable as always with Mark Knopfler no matter what the amp.
fantastic effort! I grew up on this stuff. Telegraph Road and Making Movies. I have been in love with that Knopfler sound for 35 years. Now its all La Dispute and Royal Blood....but I'm still here.
I miss when you guys walked through Anderton's to get the gear. Great job though! Its been a while since my last Mark Knopfler binge so I'm going to do that now. I'd love to see Rabea pull off that dumb riff from Electric Wizard- Dopethrone. SUPER bassy and insane. Otherwise, sounds like Steve Howe? I just want to see Rabea pull off some of his licks and solos... And if I was president of the universe, I'd make Toska cover some Yes.
Thank you,!You guys Soo Rock!..Mark Knoplfer got me to Slow down and Listen to 'FEEL'..instead of a thousand thoughtless notes a minute.. that the 80's was pandemic of..True story ..Mark was asked back then why he didnt play Fast like everyone else?..he replied.."Well Because I can't really"....So honest..so glad he wrote and played the Coolest and Thought Provoking Timeless Songs we Still Love Today!..Thanks again Rabea and Matt!!:) Peace!..
Well... this just proves that I will never be able to sound like Mark Knopfler no matter what I spend lol I give you a lot of credit for trying the harder stuff, like Brothers in Arms (deceptively not simple to play. He put a lot of feeling in that one)
Michael Lloyd tone comes from the hand and learning his phrasing. Mark has such amazing dynamics. I have been studying his style for years. I can get his Les Paul tone on a Roland cube for brothers in arms and money for nothing I can get his assault and sound with the same set up it's all about adjusting tone knobs and feeling the song
Gotta hand it to you guys, takes stones to even try sounding like Knopfler. Always cited as one of my top five favorite guitarists. This was a fun one =)
ohy god! i cannot tell you how grateful i am for this! i (and Im sure many others did) requested this many moons ago, and here it is! Thank you so much. As always, great job guys. You nailed it!
Would love to see a 'sound like *insert death metal band here* without busting the bank' or so but I guess that's not entirely up your alley. Maybe a 'how to djent without busting the bank'? At least that would sell in today's market :D
in an interview he said he was in a electronics shop in new york wandering around and there was some fat construction builder on a lunch break watching one of the tvs with his mates in the shop and he was the one who said all the one liners "money for nothing" and stuff like that. Also in the music video there is a cartoon builder sort of character watching a tv who was based on this person.
Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster had Fender Texas Special pickups in it, same pickups chosen by Stevie Ray Vaughn for his signature model, definitely two tone masters!! That's why I chose Texas Specials for my Stratocaster
Thanks for this one. Love Mark Knopfler. I'm new to electrics, been an acoustic folky finger picker all my life. My first fender is a lone star, and I was looking for recs on a gain/compression pedal when I stumbled on this vid. Great series and very helpful education.
Do a sounds like for EVH. Early VH1 "Brown Sound" tones (Eruption, You Really Got Me, Jamie's Crying etc). I wouldn't mind having a U2/The Edge either.
Very nice Knopfler-esque tones! He has always been one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He can speak volumes with his musical phrases. If you want to try something very different, how about a 'Sound Like: Steve Howe' (of Yes). He is another of my all-time favorite guitarists.
EVH, Billy Gibbons, Steve Vai, Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Rob Flynn (Machine Head), Doug Aldrich, St. Vincent, Mastodon, Chris Isaak and Hershel Yatovitz, Tony Iommi, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Frank Marino, Green Day, Guns N Roses, and Allan Holdsworth That should keep you busy
Money For Nothing was from a rant Mark Knopfler heard a guy say in an American department store whilst watching MTV. Mark Knopfler is so good he even wrote a song called "Why Aye Man" which was about the formative idea of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. It even features Tim Healy, Jimmy Nail, and Kevin Whately randomly shouting "Why Aye Man" at the top of their voices
Hey rabea and Matt, wondering with Mark knopfler doing his final farewell tour now (it's 2019 at time of writing) you could revisit this one as a busting the bank??
hav watched all of ya sounds like vids and just wanted to say they are all awsome! to my ears they sound so close its unreal! and hats of to you for the playin, you are one hell of a guitarist \m/...after 25 years of playin guitar I had a stroke 3 years ago loosing my muscle memory and unable to play. I now hav to learn all over again. doh. but people like you inspire me to get back on it again, cheers for that and keep em comming guys :)
Yeah that's what was the only thing wrong with this one I think. The money for nothing tone was over driven and no tone on the guitar, I think adding wah wahs just overcomplicates it
Yes, on the recording its a 59 Les Paul, and the Wah is close to the treble(!) not with the tone rolled off. If it gets too sharp, they ougtha roll the tone off on the guitar instead.
I read he plugged into David Gilmour's rig once and David was worried that he would sound like him, but when he played it just sounded like Mark. So I guess a tonne of it is in the fingers.
He wasn't working in the store. He was customer in an electrical store in New York and one of the employees was moaning about the musicians on mtv being shown in store
You guys are doing some really cool and funny videos! What I'd love to see is a Sound Like KISS from the 70's where you could hear two distinct guitar parts (Detroit Rock City, Strutter, etc)!
sounded nothing like knopfler . The signature guitar was a dekota red not fiesta red , the schecter guitars were strat style guitars not the pensa style , pensa guitars were used in the 90s
The challenge with nailing the Mark Knopfler tone/style is that is style is so unique to him physiologically it's almost impossible to copy. It's more about getting a feel for his style than actually nailing it, but that's a good thing cause it causes you to aborb elements of his style but inadvertently develop your own style
+Michiel1972 that would be sound like the Edge of the 80's but I realized... thier music is not confined to one niche. But he is still known for the Delay. Thanks buddy!
+Nathan Butler You could use the same gear, but I think it'd be more fun for them to do it with non chapman and non victory. Plus the kraken isn't exactly budget
Still a bit expensive. I'd say ML3 Modern might be a bit more realistic, especially since they used it quite a bit for the recording of the Catalyst EP. Ghost Fret is awesome, don't get me wrong but I think they could get quite close for just that extra bit cheaper, maybe get an RD1 with that bit left over.
Great video - apparently the reason why a lot of sound engineers use Money For Nothing to check levels is it was one of the very first songs where every part was levelled to come out at different parts of the speaker/headphones
Brothers in Arms, I was just thinking recently how many styles there is on the album, country, rock and even funky stuff, great album. Think I was 11 when my older brother bought it and played it threadbare!
Sultans of swing: middle pickup, amp a little crancked up, chorus, and specially: D MINOR CHORD HITTING ALL STRINGS (Making a Dm with bass on A). He didn't use brige-middle position in early stuff because his 1961 Fender Stratocaster did't even have a 5 way selector.
He went into a home appliance store, and there was a delivery guy at the back watching a wall of TV's tuned to MTV saying those things. He's told that story a hundred times. The signature model was in Hotrod red, not fiesta. It had texas specials. The quilt top WAS Pensa, not Schecter. He used Schecter strats too. Brothers in Arms is on a Les Paul too.
Great video again guys, SUSTAIN!!!! I liked it when you went into the shop and chose the kit for us to see, please do it again. Gary Moore would be a great watch. Thanks
9:48 Do someone know how to sustain a note like that. Is there some kind of pedal? I actucally have a compression sustainer (boss cs 3), but i dont think its the right pedal for that kind of stuff. (don't get me wrong, i love that pedal and i use it all the time)
In 2000, Knopfler appeared on Michael Parkinson's interview program and explained again where the lyrics originated. According to Knopfler, he was in New York and stopped by an appliance store. At the back of the store, they had a wall of TVs which were all tuned to MTV. Knopfler said there was a man working there dressed in a baseball cap, work boots, and a checkered shirt delivering boxes who was standing next to him watching. As they were standing there watching MTV, Knopfler remembers the man coming up with lines such as "what are those, Hawaiian noises?...that ain't workin'," etc. Knopfler asked for a pen to write some of these lines down and then eventually put those words to music.Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, in misinterpreting the lyrics as coming directly from Dire Straits rather than a character based on a store employee, claimed that the song was about his band, and that the members of Dire Straits were in an electronics store where a row of TVs were all playing Mötley Crüe.[7]The songwriting credits are shared between Mark Knopfler and Sting.[8] Sting was visiting Montserrat during the recording of the song, and was invited to add some background vocals. Sting has stated that his only compositional contribution was the "I want my MTV" line, which followed the melody from his song "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
Great video! Keep e'm coming guy's. I think you got about as close as someone can get to the Brothers in Arms tone without actually having Mark Knopfler's gear and hands. Great tip about rolling off the tone on the guitar and increasing the treble on the drive pedal. I've been playing for many years and never thought about doing that. It's so simple yet....LOL....just goes to prove that an old dog like me CAN learn new tricks!
It sounds cliche to say that tone is in the fingers, but when it comes to Knopfler, it's 99% true.
Well it is for him more than others because of his picking style and just overall hand-skill.
He really one of the tiny handful of players that this is actually true of - Knopfler and Beck!
Is it only me who prefers when they go round the store?
No
I do
Yes just you
im the same
me to
How to sound like Mark Knopfler
Step 1. Be Mark Knopfler
Step 2. There is no step 2
That being said, you guys did a pretty amazing job
Thats why is so great.
3. Be me.
So true!
I heard some guitaristS that proved you wrong.
Mark Knopfler is THE reason I picked up the guitar as a kid, and even now in my 30's still makes me want to work even harder on my finger picking technique, still prefer a plectrum. Love the video guys.
He didn't work in the shop... he was visiting the shop, in New York, and overheard one of the staff watching MTV and saying those iconic lines. He tells the tale on a Parkinson's interview...

Which will no doubt be playing on those same tvs later that year, and he will probably be saying the same things about the song written with his lyrics.
yeah, what he said
@@powdermnky007, aye, you couldn't make it up.
thanks for the comments guys! this was one of the hardest sounds likes to do. very challenging!!! MORE TO COME SOON!!!!
+Rabea Massaad the tone was pretty spot on...well done!
Sound like The Edge... good luck
+Rabea Massaad Sound like Sleep
+Rabea Massaad Sound like Fast Eddie Clarke.
+Rabea Massaad
That was truly spot on, sounded great and indeed for a fair price :)
Now, can I give suggestions three truly hard ones if I may:
Alex Lifeson from Rush (Can do Geddy too, his sound should be slightly easier)
Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and oh, so many other projects
Adam Jones from Tool
These should be a right proper challenge for ye lads, eh?
Another video to prove that Knopfler's sound is the most underrated in the world. People start thinking it's easy. Then they start thinking it's possible to replicate it easily. Then they record a video to say they have succeeded. And then they fail so miserably that they realise the only easy thing about the whole process is that: to fail.
He didn't work in the store, he was in a store in New York and heard some loudmouth shooting off about things on TV.
The signature Fender had Texas Specials.
He did use a Les Paul on Brothers in Arms and Money for Nothing in the studio.
+Genetic_Drifter So he owned a store in York and shot some guy stealing a TV?
He said there was a rack of TVs showing MTV, hence the lyrics like," that ain't working..." and " what's that, Hawaiian noises..." etc
He was talking about Richard Branson actually
Ok. Dont shoot me but i just heard money from nothing like last year. AND OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING. LIKE HOLY SHIT THAT OPENING RIFF IS GOD LIKE.
Every song on the first Dire Straits album is a winner. Water of Love is my favorite song by them.
I miss the bit where you guys walked round the shop choosing equipment
Yeahh
Can you do L'il Wayne?
daniels8790 Yup, that was why I asked.
So happy that you finally did one on Mark Knopfler!!! Thanks dudes. 😃😃😊😊😉😉
If my parents told me that's how I reacted to Dire Straits and in particular the guitar solos, I would absolutely style my guitar technique after the great Mark Knopfler. There's clearly a natural connection. Pretty cool.
Sound like Gary Moore!!!
+Joe Jenkins Hell yes, sound like Gary Moore!!
+Joe Jenkins yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh that's a must
+Joe Jenkins get a gibson les paul, play like god.
that's it XD hahahahahaha
+Joe Jenkins Bea/Matt please do Moore
Yesssss

You should do a Robby Krieger sounds like
Congratulations guys, once again this goes to prive how much tone is in the hands of the player, and Bea did a great job coming real close to the legend that Mark is. And a very nice sounding rig overall. Thanks guys !
BB King would be challenging. I like this format/premise/theme, and enjoyed you guys and your apparent rapoire. Keep them coming.
+Randall Parker Already done, check their page!
Good amp choice and thanks for the video. Mark Knopfler actually did a concert using 2 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe's. The tone was unbelievable as always with Mark Knopfler no matter what the amp.
Sounds like Mark Knopfler by Busting the Bank!
Fender amp, a strat and a fuzz pedal, boom knopflers rig, you do have to choose expensive things though.
fantastic effort! I grew up on this stuff. Telegraph Road and Making Movies. I have been in love with that Knopfler sound for 35 years. Now its all La Dispute and Royal Blood....but I'm still here.
I miss when you guys walked through Anderton's to get the gear. Great job though! Its been a while since my last Mark Knopfler binge so I'm going to do that now.

Looks like we have the same dreams then. Toska and Yes are two of my favourite bands.
Thank you,!You guys Soo Rock!..Mark Knoplfer got me to Slow down and Listen to 'FEEL'..instead of a thousand thoughtless notes a minute.. that the 80's was pandemic of..True story ..Mark was asked back then why he didnt play Fast like everyone else?..he replied.."Well Because I can't really"....So honest..so glad he wrote and played the Coolest and Thought Provoking Timeless Songs we Still Love Today!..Thanks again Rabea and Matt!!:) Peace!..

Adam Jones Please!
+Rodrigo Díaz yes yes
Yes
+David Oakes bank broken. missed the point bud. where's the video?
+Sergey Tarkhanov lol. without breaking the bank? you could buy a small country for the price of a Diezel
+Sergey Tarkhanov the more comments the better chance we see it from the guys.
Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster had Fender Texas Special pickups in it, same pickups chosen by Stevie Ray Vaughn for his signature model, definitely two tone masters!! That's why I chose Texas Specials for my Stratocaster
Anyone else miss the running around the shop looking for gear part ? Always thought of it as a big part of the fun on these videos.
Hardcore Knopfler fan!!! Thanks for doing this!!! Communique is an awesome album that you should check out if you have not already :)
holy crap! they're back already?! that musta been one wicked fast plane! xD
Thanks for this one. Love Mark Knopfler. I'm new to electrics, been an acoustic folky finger picker all my life. My first fender is a lone star, and I was looking for recs on a gain/compression pedal when I stumbled on this vid. Great series and very helpful education.
Sound like Dan Auerbach of the black keys please!!!
Find a weird 60s guitar on reverb.com, and get an old low wattage amp
+Nick Haakman well I don't really care how to get the tone I just like watching them do it
absolutely, I'd love that
+will schaumann they did it already
Why? Want that sound? Throw some broken glass into a garbage disposal.
Slayer!! please. I love it when you guys walk around the shop to choose the gear as well, I hope you guys do that again soon.
Do a sounds like for EVH. Early VH1 "Brown Sound" tones (Eruption, You Really Got Me, Jamie's Crying etc). I wouldn't mind having a U2/The Edge either.

That should keep you busy
+Nick Scott They did Mastodon! :)
one of the most unique guitarist ever and most original lyrics
Please do a Sound like Jimmy Page!! Pleeeeaaase :D
All the yes
+Yannik Hofmann yes please..... but the 72 era before heroin and the 14yo girlfriend....
+tvi82 who cares? I mean that doesn't influence him as a musician
+Yannik Hofmann actually it did...
+Yannik Hofmann Tele into fuzz into old tube amp
Money For Nothing was from a rant Mark Knopfler heard a guy say in an American department store whilst watching MTV.

It even features Tim Healy, Jimmy Nail, and Kevin Whately randomly shouting "Why Aye Man" at the top of their voices
Good tone. really enjoyed that.
Knopfler is a bit of a god.
The sounds like series is among the best guitar videos on the Internet, well done!
Hey rabea and Matt, wondering with Mark knopfler doing his final farewell tour now (it's 2019 at time of writing) you could revisit this one as a busting the bank??
Fender Strat and Gibson Les Paul cos i don't think you can get his Suhr MKII
Tone King and Mesa amplifier
Wah
Compressor probably
and Volume Pedal
hav watched all of ya sounds like vids and just wanted to say they are all awsome! to my ears they sound so close its unreal! and hats of to you for the playin, you are one hell of a guitarist \m/...after 25 years of playin guitar I had a stroke 3 years ago loosing my muscle memory and unable to play. I now hav to learn all over again. doh. but people like you inspire me to get back on it again, cheers for that and keep em comming guys :)
Didn't he play money for nothing on a Gibson Les Paul?
he did
Yeah that's what was the only thing wrong with this one I think. The money for nothing tone was over driven and no tone on the guitar, I think adding wah wahs just overcomplicates it
Didn't he use the Pensa Suhr for it?
He got that a few years after Brothers in Arms was released. He used it live when it was in his setlist.
Yes, on the recording its a 59 Les Paul, and the Wah is close to the treble(!) not with the tone rolled off. If it gets too sharp, they ougtha roll the tone off on the guitar instead.
That was a really great tone for almost everything. Great job!
I read he plugged into David Gilmour's rig once and David was worried that he would sound like him, but when he played it just sounded like Mark. So I guess a tonne of it is in the fingers.
You guys are AWESOME to watch! Love the videos, and the gear talk. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Please do a Sound Like Alex Lifeson, a Rush themed episode would rock!!!!
He wasn't working in the store. He was customer in an electrical store in New York and one of the employees was moaning about the musicians on mtv being shown in store
Karnivool should be next since they rely on many different pedals. I feel like it would be a good challenge
yep, would like to see that aswell !
Maybe they could do the bass tone too :O
You did it again!
Lots and lots of Knopfler tones to get from this rig .... alt least when you are Bea (;-)))
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Sound like Devin Townsend!
+adam humphreys Yes!!
+adam humphreys Life and Kingdom played by Rabea... OH YEAH!
+Chris B and deadhead
+adam humphreys soooo hardddd
You guys are doing some really cool and funny videos! What I'd love to see is a Sound Like KISS from the 70's where you could hear two distinct guitar parts (Detroit Rock City, Strutter, etc)!
And there was thinking "time to go to bed!"...
Great tone on this one! I would love to see a "by busting the bank" version of this as well
sounded nothing like knopfler . The signature guitar was a dekota red not fiesta red , the schecter guitars were strat style guitars not the pensa style , pensa guitars were used in the 90s
Stephen Turner The sig is hot rod red.
Stephen Turner He started using Pensa Suhr in the 80s.
yes it did, it sounded so much like knopfler
The challenge with nailing the Mark Knopfler tone/style is that is style is so unique to him physiologically it's almost impossible to copy. It's more about getting a feel for his style than actually nailing it, but that's a good thing cause it causes you to aborb elements of his style but inadvertently develop your own style
Do a sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!
Well done boys, I always enjoy these segments. Mark Knopfler is one of my favorites and a true original.
I challenge you guys!!! sound like The Edge without busting the bank.. :p
+AKash Ghosh Just buy a delay pedal? :-)
+Michiel1972 that would be sound like the Edge of the 80's but I realized... thier music is not confined to one niche. But he is still known for the Delay. Thanks buddy!
Excellent work guys, loving the series, keep it up.
How about a Sound Like Rob Chapman or Rebea Massaud. Lol.
They already have an old video of sound like dorje! Go check it out
+Canadaguitar yeah but its kinda outdated now because dorje sounds a lot more refined in their recent ep than they did on the first one
+Pughhead13 What's the sky nail? Do you mean the ghost fret
+Nathan Butler You could use the same gear, but I think it'd be more fun for them to do it with non chapman and non victory. Plus the kraken isn't exactly budget
Still a bit expensive. I'd say ML3 Modern might be a bit more realistic, especially since they used it quite a bit for the recording of the Catalyst EP. Ghost Fret is awesome, don't get me wrong but I think they could get quite close for just that extra bit cheaper, maybe get an RD1 with that bit left over.
Best "Sound Like" so far! Great job men.
Sound like John Scofield!
+gingataff Yes Please!
gingataff the countless who've tried. Another nail in a coffin.
Great video - apparently the reason why a lot of sound engineers use Money For Nothing to check levels is it was one of the very first songs where every part was levelled to come out at different parts of the speaker/headphones
How about "Sound like John Squire - Without busting the bank"
That would be cool.
Is that you, John?
Janner Pete I never even realised the correlation between my profile pic and my abbreviated name. Haha!
You guys are doing a great show! Really enjoying them.
Agree with the people asking about:
Alex Lifeson
EVH,
Billy Gibbons,
Green Day,
Guns N Roses,
Rabea, your skills are incredible. Good job guys
Gary Moore!
I think a Clash video would be great-especially the London Calling stuff--Jimmy Jazz, Brand New Cadillac. Love the channel, btw
Sound like Eric Johnson BY busting the bank!
Brothers in Arms, I was just thinking recently how many styles there is on the album, country, rock and even funky stuff, great album. Think I was 11 when my older brother bought it and played it threadbare!
+Rabea Massaad Please do a Sounds Like for Snowy White, he can play.
Sultans of swing: middle pickup, amp a little crancked up, chorus, and specially: D MINOR CHORD HITTING ALL STRINGS (Making a Dm with bass on A). He didn't use brige-middle position in early stuff because his 1961 Fender Stratocaster did't even have a 5 way selector.
Please do John Squire 😆
He went into a home appliance store, and there was a delivery guy at the back watching a wall of TV's tuned to MTV saying those things. He's told that story a hundred times.
The signature model was in Hotrod red, not fiesta. It had texas specials.
The quilt top WAS Pensa, not Schecter. He used Schecter strats too.
Brothers in Arms is on a Les Paul too.
Yea , Mark Knopfler.. Yea...
Maybe it is easier for someone to fly or to be resurrected than sounds like him.
Makis Tzanis No. I sound exactly the same.
Haven't even watched the video yet. Already liked because I love this guitarist so much
sound like Queen/Brian May
Great video again guys, SUSTAIN!!!!
I liked it when you went into the shop and chose the kit for us to see, please do it again. Gary Moore would be a great watch.
Thanks
Sound like hank B marvin
My 93 G&L Legacy thru a Twin Reverb gets most of the Making Movies albums tones. Also sounds good when jamming with Alchemy album.
peter green?
Gr8 vid as always, Mark is very unique and very hard to imitate, but job well done.
Sounds like Jerry Cantrell please
even the mighty masaaad struggles with the might of the knopfler riff, still far better than I could ever do hahaha
Sound Like Jonny Lang
Sound Like Joe Bonamassa
Sound Like Zakk Wylde
9:48 Do someone know how to sustain a note like that. Is there some kind of pedal? I actucally have a compression sustainer (boss cs 3), but i dont think its the right pedal for that kind of stuff. (don't get me wrong, i love that pedal and i use it all the time)
Sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan.

As they were standing there watching MTV, Knopfler remembers the man coming up with lines such as "what are those, Hawaiian noises?...that ain't workin'," etc. Knopfler asked for a pen to write some of these lines down and then eventually put those words to music.Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, in misinterpreting the lyrics as coming directly from Dire Straits rather than a character based on a store employee, claimed that the song was about his band, and that the members of Dire Straits were in an electronics store where a row of TVs were all playing Mötley Crüe.[7]The songwriting credits are shared between Mark Knopfler and Sting.[8] Sting was visiting Montserrat during the recording of the song, and was invited to add some background vocals. Sting has stated that his only compositional contribution was the "I want my MTV" line, which followed the melody from his song "Don't Stand So Close to Me".

Great video! Keep e'm coming guy's.
I think you got about as close as someone can get to the Brothers in Arms tone without actually having Mark Knopfler's gear and hands. Great tip about rolling off the tone on the guitar and increasing the treble on the drive pedal. I've been playing for many years and never thought about doing that.
It's so simple yet....LOL....just goes to prove that an old dog like me CAN learn new tricks!
