this is amazing! Mark would be proud if he saw this ;)
Was actually wondering if you could record a backing track of "Down To The Waterline" for me, would have been REALLY good to put some of your awesome playing in a drum cover instead of using the original track and maybe get copyrifgt on my ass :P :D
i've written a few comments about this video but i just can't stop writing one if i see that video again. First of all your guitar is awesome, the way you play, this very fast bending thing in the refrain is unbelievable and your voice...it's really like mark knopflers. If you were in a tribute band it would probabably be the best tribute band ever!
Stefan, it would be really awesome if i could play this song for my guitar teacher in two weeks. Can i pay you for making a closeup for the intro lick?
Hello! Was there a worm biting you when you were playing this? Why are you rushing? Do you need to go somewhere in a hurry? Have you not learn to slow down in life? Try slowing down abit and you will then see the wonders of life.
The chords of this song are pretty simple. It goes as following: F#m, A, D, A, E during the couplets; F#m, A, D, E during the chorus; D, A, D, A, E during the bridge.
um how stupid it is to complain about his weight -.- Just look at Joe Cocker. He looks like a gypsy and moves like an alcoholic but it doesn't care cuz his voice is great. Man this is the best cover of that song on YT and you play and sing great. First i really thougt you are Mark knopfler!
@tdenterprise you're just insulting that man because you cant play yourself. if you're jalous, start playing yourself and stop being a stupid whining bitch about it .
Is this actually Mark Knopler? If it's not what band does he play in? This is Britain has got talent-x-factor, not those warbling Whitney/Marvin Gaye club singers, this is real talent!!!!
Forget about it...it's not Mark...this guy has larger legs and different hands and different chest n shoulder anatomy (i killed it?)...sorry but Mark is in my heart like no other one!!!
Mark plays a sort of bastardized Chet Atkins "clawhammer" fingerpicking style, but this man seems to have it down cold. No complaints on this one...it's just good.
Very tidy work mate! Such a unique style to replicate but you do it very well. Nice modelling on the MK voice too! now to check out a few of your other vids! J
Great feeling exelente, but ... its not importan. To much country, can i give you and meek advice? play less country and your´re great. Im not anybody to tell right but you are great guitar player. Response and maybe you can teach me a little ok? Im online on msn
Some people( like myself) can't play and tap their foot you know, I tend to sway a bit or move my head, on your own and sitting down just doesn't help. As soon as the drum's start tho it's all forgotten, I'm sure if this dood was stood up playing to music/band he'd be the nut's. He does speed up but he made up for it with his sound and technique for me :)
Stefan you are a great player. Too bad you have spent so much time trying to remake Mark Knopfler. I don't mean this in a mean way, but you are to good of player to be clonnning someone else. Be you
You're just too Awesome!! I thought I was listening to MK sing. Do you ever get a chance to meet MK? He will be very impressed. Now I am watching your videos.
In my opinion every now and than ,Stefan does an even better job then Mark himself in certain aspects of the guitar playing . I really believe that while I am one hell of a Knopfler fan.
That is debatable, and down to personal opinions :)
What is extremely hard, however, is to do a better job than Mark himself on songwriting. Even if someone else can match or improve his guitar work, Mark's still the man, as he created the song :)
amazing playing man.. has anybody ever asked you about doing a lesson about the mk fingerpicking style ? A small insight into knopflers most usual techniques would be really nice ! For example how he strums with his fingers and how the fast licks are played and so on.. i've been interested into his style for a while and it would be good to keep practising with the right technique :)
