[TheLightSideofMusic]

can someone translate in italian what he said during the introduction to the song please? thank you

[guitar5289]

@TheLightSideofMusic "Money for Nothing" è stata una situazione in cui ero in questo negozio... e sono sicuro che molti di voi hanno sentito parlare di questa storia... ma c'è una tradizione di grandi liutai in Italia come Stradivarius, per esempio, e a New York City è una tradizione di fare queste chitarre f-buco da italiani e il sord di un strano parallelo, John D'Angelico, John L. D'Aquisto e ora un uomo di nome John Monteleone

[guitar5289]

@TheLightSideofMusic E ho incontrato John Monteleone e si sentiva come mi venne incontro Stradivarius, o in modo come incontro Leonardo Davinci e Monteleone vorrei dire cose a me di costruire la mia chitarra come, "la scalpelli stanno chiamando" e "È il momento di fare segatura." Mi sono reso conto che aveva questa coazione a stare con suoi scalpelli e il suo lavoro che mi ha spinto a scrivere questo brano chiamato "Monteleone."

[guitar5289]

@TheLightSideofMusic I'm pretty sure that wasn't perfect Italian cause I translated using an online translator but I hope you can at least kind of understand it :)

[TheLightSideofMusic]

@guitar5289 THANK YOUUU!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Real musicians = Real music

[tremoloable]

He plays his Martin 000-40S Signature. A beautiful 12-fret modell not unlike the 000-28VS which is more affordable.

[kindblue59]

One of the most beautiful songs in MK's recent career. Also, the little story about Monteleone himself is priceless. Thanks for sharing! Hugs from the UK :)

[gamefun05]

What a beautiful music...!...Mark God bless you...!

[Tertenia81]

I love that song...<3 <3 <3

[1RealKoolHand]

He is equal to Mozart or any of the greats. His words work in perfect harmony with his music. It makes me want to see this man work on these guitars. Inspiring emotion in so many different ways.

[luck1214]

Not exaggerated to say

One of the best artists of all time were

So sad that he did not get a bigger recognition

F**#-the-POP or more like POOP

[donluke578]

Anyone know the make of the acoustic guitar he plays on this song?? I'd love to know, it is a real gem as well....

[magicelliotth]

@donluke578 It's a Martin.

The best acoustic guitars around. Very, very nice-but not cheap

[Leblon56]

I always loved him, now he has mellowed so perfectly....awesome talent.

[LokiBrehm]

Hear hear - MK is a gem of a writer, & a beautifully lyrical player. The line 'too quick or too careless, it all could unravel, it so easy could...' priceless.

[Ferry72]

Very nice to see that Danny, with closed eyes, enjoy the song as well. He is a great musician to.
