    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I’m semi retired and spend a lot of time scouring UA-cam 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.

    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.

    Game on! I have really been looking forward to this one. Other people have done it very well. Hoping this lesson takes it to the next level. The second solo is brutal if you have slow finger style like I do. It cannot be played that fast with a pick... or at least I can't. Great song.. You played every nuance true to the record. Great job as always!

  • @gordtaylor1538
    @gordtaylor1538 5 років тому +1

    Damn you! I just finally got around to learning the fills to this song about 6 weeks ago and now after watching this I see I have to relearn some of them. If I knew you were working on this I would have waited to learn it the right way the first time. Another great song choice and another great lesson. Thanks.

    Andy, you NAIL it EVERY FRIGGIN TIME, MAN. I just sit her air guitaring with a Rolling Rock in one hand and my pud in the other thinking, FML, I wished I could do that! Then again, all that dope I smoked in High School was what got me going in the first place; playing guitar. The smoke allows you to channel different parts of a song so that you can hear each part, where it belongs, and in relationship with the other notes. I guess if I took this lesson with a few hits, I could get close but, not as good as YOU man! Rock on Andy...!
