Evolution, from strumming to finger picking

[robbke60]

you know..

[sids1214]

You said it... you really need to want to do it!

[sids1214]

I love this video. This guy is so grounded.. genius.. absolute genius

[squeekychild]

I love how he tries to explain it verbally, and he is just like fuck it *plays something awesome*

[sebastiaankusters]

Knopfler: You know.

everybody else in the room: nope we do not

[parttroll1]

I remember battling with an open C chord when I first started playing. Good to hear Mark saying this but boy did he become a great player with his own signature sound and style.

[Flipper01100]

Love to see more of this......

[85antoniosalazar]

Oh my god he played freight train!!

[guitarreilly]

great technique

[42760138]

oh foolish one... the mic is over his head. .lol

[SweetLittleRnRoller]

How was he recording? He sounds wonderful and I can't see any mic. Is that the pickup?

[shamsky01]

thought I heard "Freight Train" at 3:29

[Sm0keSG]

@shamsky01 So did I!

[Dippides]

@Sm0keSG Me too!

[JDoubleOP]

This fella is so down to earth....10 STAR

[Gilmour3]

If only Mark was my guitar teacher...He seems so relaxed and so patient with the learning process its amazing to me!!Thank for the music sir!!!

[koribrus]

Does anyone know the name of the compelte show/program this is taken from? Would love to watch the entire things somehow.

[somatder]

"you gotta really wanna be able to play" Quoted for the truth. That is pretty much the single most important thing when trying to learn to play an instrument. Without motivation...no way

[TheRevenge83]

mark...put away that pick...!

[cheesynounou]

He is the only one who inspires me to play guitar and to not use a pick

[elton9318]

Living legend

[randyrhoadshimself]

OMG! He played with a pick :O

[MrSideboom]

anyone know what the name of the bit at 3:30 is?

[tidam]

@MrSideboom Freight Train

[MrSideboom]

@tidam thanx!

[40carlosmc]

LIKE A BOSS

[Stoneacoustic]

thanks for taking the time, it says a lot about you. .............

[Chickenthecruel]

he says it as if it would be just soo simple =D

[MrIceman001]

i want to live in the house you can see from his window.

[KSaebinMusic]

Oh man I want his fingers.

[hixxstar]

not actual songs as such, just 12 bar blues turn arounds, listen to some 'Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee' loads on you-tube... then try how to play 'sonny terry' ect....

hope that helps a bit.. play slow & pick the chords instead of strumming them....

[nextpage10]

Please tell me the name of the songs hes playing during the video..

[nextpage10]

Whats the name of the song or songs hes playing from 4:40 and more?

[narnyslip]

Hahahahaha!!! "A pick, hang on i've got one somewhere" Clasic!!!!

[GenZoo333]

Every time I watch this I want to kill the camera man . Check at 2:40 Mark was just about to reveal his right hand secret, then the camera focuses on the other hand, distracting Mark! Ahh...

[ygreciano]

5:35 = look at his ring finger ! :O

[capetownlad300]

its funny how he hardly answers the questions.....

[hixxstar]

never seen knofler enjoying himself so much !... showing he is more than just a pop/rock player

he has a true talent to play just classic blues/bluegrass style... which is nice.

[nextpage10]

@hixxstar hey im a guitar player and i saw this video and i wanna learn the musics hes playin at 4:40 and so.. can u tell me the name of the songs?

[usalespaul59]

The guitars in the background are worth probably more than a mil., alone the 59 LP is about 750 000 USD...

[dany4kin]

I have some Mark Knopfler technique videos on my channel. Spread the word!

[onnie9summers]

4;52 amazing!

[theSicilianToe]

i fucking love mark knopfler what a cool guy. unique technique and a true gentleman.

[berherbi]

i was working in hammersmith london, marks studio is in chiswick. i met him once at the bar in royal albert hall . he is so modest , he talks about his guitar playing as a normal thing....what a fucking modest man. butr he is a genius..what can is say...

[Nettlschen]

1 person never had touched a guitar

[AlexStorkMusic]

Legend!



[EyeShotFirst1]

I swear a year of just watching Mark Knopfler closely and trying to do what he does, I went from a sloppy shredder to a really good guitarist. I could only imagine how good I could get just sitting down with him for an hour.

[Antiks72]

Mark is a total pimp.

[berherbi]

@Antiks72

what do you mean? pimp???? what does that mean?? are you an asshole ??

[EMIGA033]
