I asked a great guitar playing friend of mine if he could give me lessons. Said I wanted to learn how to play like Mark Knopfler. He laughed and said, “so do the rest of us guitar players”.

Just a few people were truly born to play the guitar Mr. Knopfler is one.

VERY UNIQUE GUITARIST ON OF ITS KIND, NO ONE CAN COPY MARK KNOPFLER, HE IS ONE AND ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST

Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest songwriters and guitar players of our time.

He's settled into the role of elder statesman of Rock.... his authenticity just grows with every passing year. A truly inspiring man.

I was born in 1977 and no music speaks to me more than Mark Knopfler's. A reason to love life! Thank you mr. Knopfler

This groove could go on for 500 hours uninterrupted and I still would not be tired of listening to it.

About 40 years since he first did this and still fantastic and origional yet completely different.

Hard to believe this man has been putting out a QUALITY sound for over 40 years & STILL is an impeccable artist! Some older players lose their edge; NOT this dude!!

He has such great feel. He keeps the volume low, clean sound and I find myself listening carefully to each note.

My generation is a lucky one; no war, job, health and lots more. And as "cérise sur le gâteau" , meanwhile more than 40 years of a beautiful musical work. Thank you Sir

Mark Knopfler & Dire Straits is a huge part of my soundtrack of life.

The Knopf is in charge of his own genre. No one else even speaks his language

Mark's music is unique and his notes formations and the way they sound are even more unique. He has added another dimension to the way a guitar can possibly sing or cry.

There are guitar players, and then there is Mark Knopfler...

Magic love you forever mark keep playing

Most underrated guitarist ever. He never makes a mistake or misses a note. Unbelievable

In this world there can be only one guitar God that is mark knofler, who knows how to give a melody to the notes he plays. He is truly unique.

One of the best guitarists ever, and one hell of a songwriter!

This man in his 70s and still one if not the best guitar player ever

His guitar speaks with it's own unique voice. He's one of the few artists you recognize within 2 or 3 notes. Like Richmond Thompson he's timeless.

love u SIR, FOREVER, thank you for your EVERITHING!!!

Mark is one of the best of his generation, LOVE you MORE, I'll ever enjoy youre music...

Mark’s fingers makes any guitar sound fantastic, could listen to him for hours.

One of my favorite great songs and Mark is the Legend!!!!

Perfection does not exist in this world .... except for guitar players there is Mark Knopfler.

I respect his love for music, and for us. He does not seem to have an EGO. May he live long and healthy...

The greatest ❤❤❤

It's a little sad that just because Mark's such an amazing lead guitarist & and a story teller of a songwriter second to none, that most of us fail to really fully appreciate his fabulously unique vocals !

I was on the Cologne concert in 2019 and heard this song live. So surprised I almost cried tears of joy that it was on the setlist. The original song was played on the Schecter Strat, just love how much fatter & better it sounds on the Les Paul.

It just never gets old. Too much is not enough.

Mr.knopfler Since i am been in the army NVA east germany 1978 Follow u in my mind 44 years Wish u and all your relatives the best Jörg reinicke Potsdam germany

My favorite guitar player, singer, artist, human 😉 always awesome music

Not knowing who Mark Knopfler is, I instantly recognized the unique riffs and guitar techniques of Dire Straits. He is so talented.

Domingo 10 de enero 2021.. lluvia y cuarentena..escuchando al mas grande..👍🍺

The band's eyes show how they admire him.

I love Mark Knopfler! He is undoubtedly one of the best guitarists ever! Love this. How can you not? Really?!

My all time favorite singer and songwriter, I have had the privilege of meeting Mark on his tours in India!!!! An extremely down to earth person. There are are many things money can't buy and one of them is meeting Mark in person

Sweet LORD. Mark Knopfler is beyond imagination. No one is like him.

I was there that night! Worthy 👍👍❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

My god, the best version of one of the oldest, and coolest songs by this musical genius! EVERYONE, from the intro, to the chillest bass and drum groove, to the flute and horn leads, and to of course the impeccably brilliant guitar/vocal work by Mr (why hasn't he been knighted yet?) SIR MARK KNOPFLER! Had to watch this three times straight! (397 dislikes? Now that's just insulting!)

All just falls together so beautifully, with you, your hands & excellent backing band ❤

I am fifty-four years old. Since I was 15 I've listened to Dire Straits, I've listened to Mark Knopfler. Simply the best!

For me Dire Straits has always been in my life and all the better for it

I got so excited when he played this when I saw him in Kansas City in 2019.

Mr Knopfler ever! Great songwriter and fantastic guitar player!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Listen to mark and the band every day best song is one song at a time thank god for you tube watch a German band called dire strats once upon a time in the west magical 🙏🙏🙏

Complete blend of Rock Pop Reggae Jazz and Blues. That’s what i hear.👏👏👏👍🏽

One of the most famous...for me. Live +++ I like it so much Thanks Dire straits!

On here everyday listening to this brilliant thanks again guys Wayne ecclefecan

I’m 72 years old. There are 3 masters of the guitar that have been with me for the majority of those years, two living and one sadly passed last January. Mark Knophler, Steve Morse and Jeff Beck…each with a creative genius that is indescribable. Mark’s songwriting and musicianship is out of this world.

One of the most amazing musicians of all time

When I listen to your music Mr. Knophler I remember my beautiful joyful years at Cal State University

I saw Dire Straits in Glasgow on the 'Every Street' tour, early 1990's, and saw Mark on this tour last year in Newcastle, UK. MK was back then, and still remains THE Master of the Universe!!!!!

hard to believe it was over forty years ago that I first heard this man sing and play Sultans of Swing. Just a fourteen year old inner city kid who, at the time, was in love with Elton John. I have all of Mark's work. I am very loyal to the greats...., and MK is absolutely one of the greats.

What else can you say..the man is a genius ❤️pure and simple 😊

His voice has become more amazing 😍 God bless him ☮

He is like fine wine, improves with age.

This man is a true legend.☘️☘️☘️

A grown up song and a grown up musician with a grown up listener. So Beautiful !

Absolutely the most talented guitarist and song writer I have ever known. Another masterpiece performed flawlessly.

The master songwriter and the owner of the best guitar solos of all time. No one can ever hope to sound like him

Dioooooos esto es muy grande inexplicable melodías esa guitarra habla amo

We heard that first 1978 - and we knew that's something very special - till today...

He was great in the 80's and is still amazing today

His guitar playing is celestial and his voice so honest - my forever favorite... I only saw Dire Straits once in Perth Western Australia, The Private Investigations tour - I was deaf for 3 days, but I loved it

The Bassist does a fantastic job on this song.

Imagine some kid/young adult seeing Knopfler for the first time.. They'd be like who's this old timer? Only to find out that the old timer is a guitar god!

I have been a fan from late 70s! Always loved his magical and unique style so refreshing so joyful!

He's aged so well. A consummate talent.

Mr Knopfler Guitar + Knopfled Vocals = TimeLess Perfection.

There is only one man plays a guitar like that quite the best.

Une de mes chansons favorites de Mark Knopfler. Je ne croyais pas qu'on pouvait améliorer la version studio de Communique, eh bien oui, elle est ensorcelante, tout simplement. Quel musicien!

That's really a shame I can give only one like! Amazing!!!!!!!1

What a great Musican. !!!! This is a Star on Heaven. Thanks Mister Knopfler. Greatings from Germany Rheinland Pfalz

Wow. In 2019 too, impressive at his age.

Hard to believe but in 1979 when "Dire Straights" was a top hit we lucked into seeing Dire Straights at the UC Davis Coffee House (we were freshman, what a way to start college), seating less than 400 people. I was over the top! One of my forever favorite bands (and Mark Knopfler one of my forever favorite players). Wowie.

Unmistakable voice and style❤ OUTSTANDING!

Still the KING. Getting her done. What an AMAZING soul. I consider it a blessing to be on this planet at the Same time this soul chose to come and amaze us with his ability to create such phenomenal music with the Guitar.. what an amazing history he has also that steered him along this path. He once said when he looked at one of his guitars in the store front window, that he felt he wasn't worthy enough to play such a beautiful instrument. You talk about being humbled.

He is and always will be the greatest guitar player of this planet 🎸🎸🎼🥁👍😇

Mark Knopfler one of the best musician for me . His unic sound of guitar , voice and mood unforgeteble . His voice and guitar is for e very mood and and every night and days .

Saturday, february 23, 2023. The good music's never die.

The guitar is an extension of his soul.

I can not stop watching this

Could listen to this on repeat all day 👍

Heya, Mark and all, I'm watching this video during the Corona Virus quarantine, have 54 years under my belt, and ya'll make make me feel like a teenager again, thank you so so much!

Mark Knopfler can find the timeless instrumentality of a song to lure the ancestors' memories of the glories of sound amid a tortuous life...the beauty of a song to ease the mind into a hinterland of genetic memory and the realities of the moment. Knopfler can untangle the neurons so that a state of harmony allows you the FEEL again and THINK of the essence of this world we have made while corrupting the gift our God presented us. A profound writer with a God given talent and mastery of the guitar with generations of performances as proof.

Once upon a. time in the 80s...( the most beautiful years of my life) with the most unigue vioce and guitar player ever...thank you.

THE Absolute Master Musician, MK is in a Class of his own! The myriad hours, days, weeks Years it takes to reach this level He is astounding! Thank You! Mark!

WHAT A GREAT PERFOMENCE !!! ABSOLUTE GENIUS

One of the greatest unmistakable style

Senz'altro una delle ultime grandi performance del maestro. Posso solo dire "grazie Mark", abbiamo passeggiato a braccetto in questa vita e siamo invecchiati assieme. Per me è stato un privilegio ascoltare la tua musica e spero che ci possano essere ancora tanti anni. Dio ti benedica per il talento, la passione e la serietà che hai sempre dimostrato. Il discorso che hai fatto ad Assago - Milano in occasione del tuo ultimo concerto in Italia, mi ha veramente commosso e allo stesso tempo insegnato che ogni stagione della vita va vissuta per quella che è, serenamente. Grazie Mark

DAMN.....Who can play the guitar like this! The absolute king of tone!!

Mark wrote the songs that the strings wanted to play and every ear wanted to hear. Every tune had the world saying "how did the world exist this long without this song being written before?" Just a tune you never get tired of. Back in the late 70s I remember a lot of fans and DJs saying that they didn't put much into this second album, it was nothing like the first, et cetera, but this song alone meant you just had to buy the album.

Każdy podkreśla znakomitości Konopflera jako gitarzysty. I słusznie. Ale jakim jest geniuszem jako kompozytor, tekściarz i aranżer też warto wspomnieć. Absolutny geniusz muzyczny. Dziękuję Marek.

This man is absolutely brilliant. Long live MK!

gracias por esta hermosísima canción

Mark Knopfler, einer der größten Musiker, Sänger und Gitarristen unserer Zeit!!!

Awesome concert... Mark's course..it only should be!!..💋💋

It is a joy being able to witness Mark Knopfler’s talent...love this version! ❤️
