Mark Knopfler - Local Hero Wild Theme LIVE Cover by Johan.F

[becksdollface]

so I saw the little video icons on the right, not really looking but the Mark Knopfler - Local Hero caught my eye because it looked familiar ... the guitarist had MK's stance but the hair was the wrong color so what a surprise when I see 'Leksingen' ... very impressive this was your first public performance so few years ago ... you are very talented ... one for the documentary ;)

[Leksingen]

@becksdollface Hehe, glad you liked it Shirley! The first time with the electric guitar on stage! ;) Indeed something for the documentary! Haha

[arsenalsrini]

well played...but try giving the music some time to breathe...very nice though

[Leksingen]

@arsenalsrini Thanks! :) Well, I felt abit "rushed" due to the pianist who hadn't played this song too many times before..

[GeorgeTel100]

This guy is good!!!

[Leksingen]

@GeorgeTel100 Thank you!

[MMAFan1984]

need to slow down imo great still

[Jgh013]

VERY NICE! Were you playing over a backing track or was somebody accompanying you? If it's a backing track I would be delighted if you could send it to me;)

[Leksingen]

@Jgh013 Thank you! Well, you see the pianist in the back, so no backing track, sorry :)

[Jgh013]

@Leksingen What about your tone? Just simple clean with reverb?

[Leksingen]

@Jgh013 It wasn't my amplifier and the soundtech just pluged it in, I said what kind of sound that he wanted and he stored it.. But pretty much just clean with slight gain and some reverb.

Don't ever give up playing the guitar, that was wonderful :)

That must have been the best school concert ever ;)

[Leksingen]

@DylanCobb It sure was ;)

[MKECBS1]

awesome man!

would be a dream to play a knopfler track on stage to my mates at school.

[waynounet]

Kuddos to you mate: not the easiest track to cover, and you do an great job of it!

[qjamesfloyd]

To quote Chet Atkins, "Pretty good, but your no Mark Knopfler!"

[Leksingen]

@qjamesfloyd Well, it would be strange if I was like Mark Knopfler right? He had played guitar for 30 years before I even was born, haha. ;)

[SuperAmik]

Well fucking done, dude!

[williedb47]

[desy2478]

Superb. I was sceptical when I saw the title but you really nailed it.

[clocktower7]

That was excellent! I thought it was actually Mark Knopfler until i looked at the title of this clip. Well done!

[Leksingen]

Hehe, thanks man! Well, I know Mark and me "look alike" in both our visual apperence and our guitarplaying ;-)

[Mmmmoaa]

You should be very proud of yourself. I clicked on this thinking it was MK and was going to end it when I realised it wasn't but you were good and I listened and enjoyed. Good on ya.

[SlashU2]

Were you nervous? ;)

[Leksingen]

No I wasn't strangely! I just closed my eyes and played :-)

[TheDireStrait]

That was amazing! You sounded just like Mark...a very difficult thing to do, I've certainly never managed it :)

[Leksingen]

Thank you! It was very special to play electric guitar live for the first time. I do hope that it wasn't the last :-) I just closed my eyes and played...

[john206gt]

I've known you through your videos as I am a big fan of Mark Knopfler too, and I can say that it was moving to see you perform for the first time, playing the music that you (and many of us) love. You were great! WELL DONE!
