- My tribute to Mark Knopfler: Tunnel of Love. Watch my other tributes to MK here: / @markknopflertribute . I'm an amateur musician who likes the sound of Mark Knopfler's guitar playing. In no way I'm claiming to be as good as or better than the original. Follow me on Facebook for occasional TABs or tutorials: markknopflertribute.
You rock sir. I remember being a kid. Dad loved Dire Straits and he would wake us all up on sundays playing "Making movies" I used to get so worked up!. He died in 2010 of cancer. I still love Dire Straits and Knopfler. Now days me and my wife use your songs as Karaoke. those times I still get worked up, think about dad and think of the old days. thanks dude.
beautiful comment, man
so moved❤
Well done! Knopfler is probably one of the most melodic guitarists of all time!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written 👍
I had looked forward to 'Making Movies' coming out and initially the stand out track was 'Romeo and Juliet' but oh man after a couple of listens 'The Tunnel of Love' just blew me away.
The imagery of the verses actually put me in a fairground and then the solo at the end, oh yeah...the solo at the end, starting so slowly and gradually building and climbing, almost unbearably understated, melodic and sweet, .......tempo gradually increasing and backing in full swing. Speeding now excitedly toward some uncertain horizon , every glassy fender toned note sweetly overwhelming the senses. And finally the top, the crescendo, the glorious summit is reached so so briefly before being followed by the tumble back down again Knopflers guitar mixed with piano to gradual fade.
I would be left with my heart pumping and eyes wide like i'd had an amazing experience. I had to listen to that song 100 times in the first couple of days after i bought it just to try and take in what to me was the closest thing to musical perfection. I had to listen to it again...again and again to try and understand why it made me feel this way. And still, today, some 30-odd years later it can still move me almost to tears as the solo resolves itself at the very top of that wonderful glorious crescendo.
So glad you put this up man. I've been playing bits of this i've learned over the years and now thanks to you filming yourself playing it it i can actually replicate something similar. Priceless.
axnax1 you summed that up very well! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Very impressive 👏👏
Haven't had the words for my emotions when I listened to this song. You described it pretty well - up to that almost painful beauty of the final solo.
Being from the town (Whitley Bay) where the Spanish City was, this song is held up as an anthem to us! its amazing that people without that connection feel its impact just as much as we do
Aside from Mark's version, this is the best version I've heard. Absolutely amazing!
I had the crappiest day at work yet it’s pretty much forgotten now
66 people disliked this. That is 66 people with their heads up their asses. This guy plays 4 different instruments. That is raw, natutal talent. No amount of practice could make you this good.
Absolutely !!! Well said :-)
@@davidbrewster8071 now there’s 85 morons.
I mean practice can make you that good but nice thought
you're so right this man is a pure talent and this people probebly just think they self
@@deservingcomplexionm8111 Exactly.. you understand.
Not to take away from this guy tho. He’s solid.
This is fucking NOTE PERFECT, dude! What an outstanding job! No words!
How can somebody be so ENVY to give a dislike to this video? I hope MK watch your excelent work !
Maybe because he doesn't sing it!!
Best rendition I’ve found so far. Bravo my man.
Only one word for it....sublime. Could listen to your covers repeatedly and never tire of them. Love the tributes. MK would be suitably impressed i'm sure.
I defy anyone who knows this song NOT to sing along.
My favourite Dire Straits song done brilliantly
"Getting crazy on the waltzers..."!
but it's the life that i choose
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam...
Red Barchetta tried and failed!!!!!!!.
Red Barchetta i cant believe its got 30 dislikes people know nothing
smashing cover,played with such ease and grace just like knopfler, beautiful to listen to
Amazing brother! You have Knopfler in your soul!
One of most beautiful music by Mark Knopfler/DS and brilliantly covered by your tribute here. Very well done, love this version.
This is superb on every level. Makes me appreciate knopfler even more..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The best Tunnelnof Love cover ever
This is eternal ageless classic wow lots of to mark knopfler and YOU
Best cover I've heard so far
Wow man I'm so jealous absolutly perfect
Just brilliant... No words can describe how good you are!
Absolutely amazing! One of the best Tunnel of Love covers I have ever seen!
Tunnel of love is my all time favourite of dire straits,this version is simply fantastic , well done to whoever done this ,I'm just waiting on the ending now.
dude you aint no amateur musician. simply stunning! i think fingerstyle electric guitar is one of most difficult yet pleasing style to play.
Fantastic playing !! the single versions of this and sultans are tight. I lurrrve the extended live versions from Alchemy & Sydney 86 concerts. Mark mixes it up so much that you get ideas to play around with when jamming with the singles.
wow man...i am simply amazed at your spot on playing...this is by far my favorite MK DS song. i never thought i would enjoy anyone else playing besides the master himself however, you sir are a very close second ! excellent playing and well done!
The best piece of music ever
Que dominio de la guitarra maestro!!!
When listening to the original with MK
which I like I have just taken everything for granted. But when watching your playing I realize what a masterpiece the lead guitar is even during the verses. Great playing.
I am in awe! What a great player! Knopfler does not need to give private lessons thanks to this guy! 👍🤩
Oh, my God.. it doesn't get more close to the original than this😀❤!!!
Fantasticly done 👍👍👍👍🎸🎸!!!
Pure pleasure to listening.... Great technique and feeling. You call yourself an amateur???!!! You play as good as MK!
Congratulations!
I am speechless!
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay -:) ..... great version, my favourite part is when it hits 6 minutes and builds up, brilliant!
Awesome, absolutely brilliant.
Hard to not sing along to this wonderful cover
Please make this available on Apple Music!! :sobs:
I wish I could hit the like button one thousand times for that one...
this is an epic job!! What a truly incredible song!! there's so much Mk put into the 8 minutes!! it could well be the greatest song ever made!!☺☺☺☺
Awesome!! That was perfectly done!! Loved it!!
Had to grab few brews outta the fridge for this one just to amazing even without the vocals. Really soothing sound great job mate
So close to Mark!!! Perfect!!!!
Excellent. Captured the soul of this fantastic music. Congratullations.
Absolutely outstanding playing and sound Sir.
Amazing my friend !! The best cover guitar of dire straits !!!
Absolutely brilliant.
Amazing!!!!
everything nice with the flow and last part of the solo made me yr fan perfect
Amazing, wonderfull, incredible!!!! congratulations!!!!!
Fantastic version, incredibly well played and accurate, thank you
I'm impressed Bravo! It's hard to play and you have done the whole rendition. I enjoyed it and i know how hard it can be to play. I don't know about you but i find it to be one of those pieces that if your playing from memory, can start repeating phrases in the solos that have already been played, i'm sure you can understand what i mean? It's easier with the Tab. Great stuff though i wish i had the patients and probably skill to do something like this.
Amazing, truly amazing Dude!!! I am a fan of Mark since ever and I rarely found covers better than yours... this one, in particular. Precise, clean... top notch!!!
I could listen to you endlessly. You are fantastic in the perfection of what you do. Admiration!
