Mark is by far the most influential guitarist, vocalist, and song writer in my life! Thanks for making the world a better, more peaceful place Mark!!

Mark is an exquisite storyteller of life tales who spins a web to coccoon and buffer the nasties of this world. Gratitude is not a grand enough word to describe my appreciation. Never stop Mark. We need you.xxxxxxx

If you are wishing you could play a bit and never learnt just have a go! I did at 40 and it's now 60 and I love every second of my spare time. And as for this man he made it easy for me to lose my hair and that's just the cherry on the cake of life.

Lovely documentary. I could listen to Mark speak for hours about his music and experiences.

Absolutely brilliant! This bloke is a genius. Never stop writing Mark.

I was born in the early 70s. And this man, during his wonderful musical career, taught me more about music than I deserved. A father, spiritually and musically speaking.

I think Mark could drag trash cans behind a garbage truck and make it sound heartachingly beautiful! Outstanding singer, songwriter, musician...an original! May God bless you and your efforts Mr. Knopfler and may you keep on keeping on!

Mark Knopfler, l’amour de ma vie! Vraiment! Un très grand artiste , humble et confiant à la fois, un génie de la guitare (des guitares) et des mots! Rien d’autres ne vient me chercher autant dans la vie que sa voix et sa façon tout à lui de jouer de la guitare; je pleure de joie, de peine et d’admiration ❤❤❤

Mark, I could sit and listen to you for hours, and I do. I have had the biggest crush on you since I was a 10 yr old little girl. I recently re discovered that crush and man what a talented and inspirational artist you are...not just for other musicians but to other artists as well. I love how passionate you are about your songs. You are an original and there aren't many left in this world. You are one I wish could live and play your music forever, but as much as I wish that there will be a time when you are not with us and the world IMO will not be the same with out you. I love you, I love your music.

MK genius!!! Absolutely the best guitarist ever!!!❤🎸❤🎸❤

I can't listen to a Mark Knopfler song without tearing up. Amazing.

Mark, my all time hero. Greatest guitarist ever, one of the very best songwriters and greatest personallity by being so humble, down to earth, always patient, always explaining why and what he wrote... the list goes on and on...

Mark Knopfler what a great man and a talented musican you are. One of the best of all times , love you.

SIR MK you are the greatest I really love all your songs . I love your voice. I love to see how you play your guitar , very incredible. Thank you so much to bring joy in our lives with your amazing Music Stay Safe 🙏🎸🎸🎸🎸💋🎸❤🎸🌎

As a painter myself, his sincere respect for various art forms is greatly appreciated. Many an hour has his work pulled me through a sad moment or taken a jubilant day and added a cherry on top. Infinite kudos to Mark for continuing to hone his craft and share it with us all.

Mark is such a humble and kind man. His music never fails to move me.

thank god for Mark Knopfler!!!!!

I just love listening to MK talk about everything. He really has a way of calming my nerves down and then I feel peace in my heart...🥰💕💕💋

Thank you, Mark, for sharing your magic with us all. ❤️

Wherever I go is simply beautiful. It gets me every single time. Thank you Mark

Mark Knopfler... that you so much for your music! There are many great artists in your generation... but there is no artist that lets me have so many daydreams as you...All of ur music from the early dire straits years to the Tracker album.... every so often I find the time to sit down, close my eyes and listen to it and my daydreams go everywhere... and it makes me feel so good! Thank you Mark Knopfler!

When I listen to Mark, I can’t help but think that God has graced us with such as him, as a taste of heaven on Earth. I know it will be awesome, and here is proof.

Fascinating man Mark Knopfler. He's my music hero and I can't get enough of him.

"Wherever I go" is such a beautiful and relaxing song. Magical duet!

Martin d18 from 1935 , what a fantastic sounding instrument played by an absolutely great guitar player , songwriter and musician !!!!!!!!!!

I stumbled across this guy and have been watching him for weeks..I understand a lot of what he is saying..

well, one of the more interesting things todo is to listen Mark speaking about music and every song s stories.- thanks for his generousity

How does a guy with such immense talent stay so relaxed and humble? Just such a down to earth guy.

A wonderful storyteller.A beautiful soul....

These are the stories that make the music. And then he lets it go and we all own it and the stories are our own. An artist creates and we make of the effort what we will and it becomes part of each of us and we imbue with our own stories. Mark has become -- maybe he always was -- the gentle teller of wonderful stories and a fantastic guitar artist. His interviews or monologues are marvelous. Better yet, I'm sure he can't stop and we're the better for it.

Thank-you Mark, for the lyrics. For the out of this world finger picking. For the countless smiles and enjoyment your words, your voice, your picking have brought!

Love this man, just love what he writes, what he sings, what he plays....

Always drop whatever I'm doing to hear Mark speak about his creativity. Lovely bloke, I probably play and record guitar because of his influence.

I love the sound of his voice, but even more above and beyond his sound I adore his writing. His perspective is breathtaking.

Mark is unique down to earth artist. He's got passion for music and instruments. Thank you Mark for the music.

This guy is golden. May he live among us forever. I can’t even think of him as either a Fender strat, a Gibson LP or a Martin guy... he seems to be the player ALL of them have waiting for. He soothes everything. God bless.

God I could listen to Mark talk for hours... such a beautifully smooth and chilling voice, great guy

An extraordinary guy with an infinite talent. Humble and, at the same time, a giant star. Mark, thanks for all your music.

I could listen to his stories all day....

That's one golden heart... amazing insight to his creative process.

Thank you Mark, for dedicating your beautiful songs to mee..🫠❤️

Beautiful video, beautiful guy. I really love him and his music.

Glad to hear all this life experience coming form the mouth, mind, and heart of a very gifted human beign like Mark Knopfler. Always a delight to watch him speak and play.

Fascinating. Knopfler has always been one of my favorite players since I first heard ‘Down To the Waterline’ way back when. Over the years he’s aged like a fine whisky - there’s a depth and richness (and maybe a sadness) here that only comes with time. Great storyteller. I feel like there’s a lot more in him that’s yet to be written.

I love hearing you, Mark.

One of the of the truly great gentlemen artists still living and producing outstanding music today.

Mark has been a hero of mine since I picked up a guitar 33 years ago....even tho we play nothing alike. He exemplifies honest, pure, craft and honesty in songwriting and playing. I never get tired of hearing him.

Wow! What a Legend the world has had the honour of hearing! We listen to Dire Strait just about every second day! MARK COME BACK... bring back the lads!

One of the most inspiring and down to earth legends- Nice, 30's era Martin D-18, Mark !!

Great one Mark. Always humble, down-to-earth. Thanks for your music and your presence.

Brother you my friend your music and words are a true inspiration to the whole planet a big tks. 2 you for keeping it real and it feels great.****&*****

Mark is remarkable!

Can't tell anymore how many times i dreamed i had a one to one lesson with my hero 🎸🔥 His music are still fantastic like it has allways been. Your music will allways have a very special place in my heart.

How not to love this man?

Magic Mark as always..

Great to hear the 'greats' talk so naturally!

Mark is so unassuming and yet so awesome at the same time. What an incredible inspiration he is for someone like myself learning how to play guitar. I've been listening to you for many years and never realized what a great teacher you are.

Another great video Mark ... huge applause !

One the reasons I started playing guitar!

Boy, what an artist!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What such a cool down to earth guy, would be a great invite to a dinner party just to talk so interesting and listen

That was a great watch ♥️ Totally in love with this man!

tracker is still such a good album want it on spotify

I actually enjoy his love if music 🎶 and it's a grand adventure. Thank you Mark Knopfler for your love of music ❤ watch l share with you 😊

16.35 are the birth pains of Matchstick Man, that has been nearly 50 years in the artistic womb.

Another great video, I only discovered this channel a few days ago, fascinating insights of life of how songs come about and being a songwriter myself I appreciate it, thanks Mark.

Have I just dreamed this amazing musical footage, or is it real???????? 🤩

Gave me oh so many goose bumps it's so good to here all about it.

I love this guy. Very inspirational.

Great that he takes time for this...fascinating stuff.

mr Mark KNopfler, you seem to have a melody that just gels, I love rhythm and as a newbie but very long time player absolutely love listening to you explain so much it boggles me mate. God Bless you and your lesson guidings that u put on u tube. Cheers. how neat your playing is.

Id love to see some of the current hit pop artists try giving such in depth backstories about their songs... Apart from a select few genuine artists, i dont think they could do it...

A genius in every possible art form♥️♥️👑♥️

Really interesting documentary on Tracker. I really love this album.. Thanks for sharing.

My hero. Enough said.

Writing is indeed investigation. My way of working, apparently his also, is a plot happens. You lurch step to step and eventually you discover your story. This is a terrific peek into his process. Thank you.

So much respect for his work and insight.

What a legend.

Wonderful Soul !

I am fascinated by the biographical nature of your songs. I really want to know who these people are and how you came to learn their life stories (if they even exist). Some of the subjects just seem so obscure so I'm really curious how the seed of those songs got planted. You seem to get into the head of both English and American subjects. As an English transplant to America myself (and a sociologist), I find that fascinating that you can transpose between the two cultures. Mark Knopfler is on the top of the list of the artists and famous people whom I would love to interview.

Keep dropping it in the well Mark!

thank you for these thoughts on song writing and the others on playing. sharing like this is such an inspiration.

Very inspiring!!! Thanks for sharing all that you share from the insights to the tricks of the trade!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

...glorious!...

Que Dios te bendiga siempre Mark. Feliz de poder escuchar y disfrutar de su musica, de cada cancion.. Es mas que un gran musico, tiene un Don maravilloso que Dios le Regalo.

A master, such a special talent

@TheXeroid: Me too. I love listening to him talk, and of course perform.

❤❤ Thank you!! 🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸

Love your music Mark Ride Across The River The perfect song from the perfect album

Wonderful songwriter, musician & storyteller, but he doesn't seem terribly happy. If I could play guitar that well, I would be beaming ear to ear.

great album.my favourite track from the album is Beryl.

He's the greatest!

Who needs Jesus when you have Mark Knopfler he is the God of Music Amen

I'm not crying, you are crying!

love this album !

Thanks Mark! In this world of woke weirdos, where most of the current music is just trash, except for country music and Mark Knopfler…I listen to your music all the time and it brings a sense of enjoyment that at times is hard to describe. Thanks for being compelled to wright such great songs! Long live MK!

how good is MK, a genious

Mark is class all around.

Génial ce documentaire un vrai artiste j'adore

Thank you Mark 🎶👍👍👍♥️🍀
