Dire Straits Money For Nothing Guitar Intro (Mark Knopfler)

[@Tantei7]

That picking is so outrageous that I don't even understand what is happening lmao incredible

[@Tantei7]

also, would be amazing if you could do a tutorial on the right hand pls, us noobs need help

[@Nihittt]

@@Tantei7 The thumb seems to be thumbing alternatively while middle and the pointy pluck simultaneously.. interestingg

[@scottmurphy650]

Knopfler is like Clapton, they are both "Slowhands". You watch their fingers and wonder when all the notes are coming from

[@Ozzie143]

It’s some complex travis picking

[@stevesimmons223]

plucks, mutes, partial harmonics, lots of crazy shit in this riff this guy plays it perfectly

[@Jambarella]

This is the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard

[@DaveMcIroy]

Then you heard a lot of bad ones.

[@merkYouInCodLikeIBlinked]

[@patrickhoward6954]

[@stboost7160]

Best intro I’ve heard

[@markrocka8718]

Dude, you nailed it. You even got a very similar tone, too. Great job!

[@andy_staff]

ALMOST PERFECT!!! 😍

[@WexyFlex]

Thank you....... now I can face the day

[@doboyle1955]

Excellent!

[@christineflanagan9719]

Just great, same as the old man himself. Try writing some stuff I bet you could do it.

[@jamesball5743]

Great

[@tilapia_guitar]

I WILL learn this picking

[@OzzyCorgiFox]

Nice picking and you got
The harmonics

[@gedhoughton9523]

This riff is an addiction!!!! Help!!

[@user-bm3yx3ue7s]

not legal, I’m trying this maybe 10 years 😂. Missing the picking or missing the tone. Incredible man 🎉

[@hlgcory]

Nice. Love your videos. You have tabs?

[@TheSixthRagnarok]

I think this is what inspired the Beavis & Butthead theme song

[@lanfrancopignoli5553]

likely better than original version

[@davidjorgensen877]

Buddy, you dialed that tone in with extreme prejudice!

[@strakk23]

He's the guitarist your girlfriend tells you not to worry about.

[@hometycoon1]

The tone is amazing, are your fractal presets available to purchase?

[@philipreeves5465]

Did u use a wah or just a marshall styke Amp maxed out with mids and tone highz bass low with tge guitar tone rolled back? Any other effects?

[@ElLudens]

How did you got the tone? I am really impressed how it sounds on a Gretsch...

[@DavidLeviGuitar]

Fractal audio fm9

[@waughy9103]

[@5urg3x]

[@julianmay5653]

Any chance you could do a tutorial for this?
I’ve never seen somebody play money for nothing that close to the original.
Not even Paul Davids 😜

Can you tech us.. can you teach me?

[@ptjww9455]

Nice rendition of the "hiccups" side of the groove. A bit short on the harmonics, though.

[@aserta]

Too much echo, sounds a bit muddy.

[@insane_rail_lover]

It’s still excellent sounds, I’d say like an 8/10 to the original sounding.
It’s okay though. Mark Knopfler doesn’t even play completely the same as he did when the song came out in 1985. So, he might just actually laugh his a$$ off to watching people trying to make it completely match.
So, this doesn’t really sound muddy. But even if it is a bit, who cares really? Just saying
