Money For Nothing-Intro

[FBZUNDATEKA]

crap

[morrisman64]

WOW BEST VIDEO FOR THIS SONG

[MrSamus101]

Second half not even near being right

[BertisEvil66]

sorry pal. this is not he the riff !!



[quogequox]

it was going so well and then oops you forgot to keep explaining stuff, at least I can count to 4 ; ) anyway thanks

[Mmmmmhful]

OMG ! You're Mark Knopfler ?! :O

[tomstrat1]

Nice Playing. Liked the detailed explaination.

[REALwoombath]

Thanks, that was great!!

[vittel11]

i really don't get that last part. it is way to fast and you don't explain it at all...why?!

[vittel11]

can you PLEASE add some tabs or explain, what you are doing in the last part!

[PocketTim]

Excellent tutorial. Totally nailed this now. Just couldn't do it from tabs alone.

[meanmikebrown]

kool man thanks

[Hobinator17]

what effects r u using?

[676collector]

Looks like there are 38 or so newbies that don't know good sound when they here it. You have mo beteh technique than the man himself!

[cp1422]

@tafy85 thats how knopfler plays it. you insult him, you insult knopfler, and in turn, clapton. and anyone who insults clapton... i rest my case

[MrMontgomeryM]

Sounds great. I heard a lot of people doing this but you got the bleeps and stuff going right.

[MrAntiRED]

I got the same sound with no effects on my amp. Bass at 8 and treble at 8. with distortion.

[Toots65]

@MrAntiRED That's the way you do it!

[sotos186]

which effect are you using?

[12OclockLow]

@sotos186 Use wah but leave it in one place. If you only have auto wah, then just turn the volume sensitivity all the way down and it shouldnt "wah" but it will give you a very heavily processed sound, almost identical to this if you play with gain and tone. I am almost 100% positive this is what he is doing in this video.

[krmiles123]

thanx man! this song is one of the songs that made me want to play guitar years ago. and now thanx to you and youtube; i finally know how... keep rockin!

[dubbelHC1]

thumbs up if you played the beginning more than once

[TheFenderpic]

good job !

[zapantalambda]

the most phenomenal song decades ago. still sounds good till now.

[zapantalambda]

the most phenomenal song decades ago.

[DanskeSange]

Please answer me.

How do i pinch string 3 and 4?

[Kloten1]

@DanskeSange

With your indexfinger, just like he does it right after he tells you.

[DanskeSange]

@Kloten1 He sais ''We're gonna pinch fret 5 and 7 here'' but how the fuck can we do that if we don't fucking know how to do it, dumbass?

[Kloten1]

@DanskeSange

You are the reason I normally don't comment on youtube videos. I was hoping to help you or other people who do not understand it but I'm not going to. Good luck.

[EhSteve8690]

@DanskeSange Profanity was unnecessary. In any case, barre the fifth fret with your index (first) finger and hold down the seventh fret in question with the middle (second) finger. I had trouble with the same part too. I think Rusty Cage has the same technique but at faster speeds on the main riff.

[EhSteve8690]

@DanskeSange Barre your index (first) finger across the fifth fret and hold down the seventh with whatever finger is comfortable for you. I had trouble on the same part too. I think Rusty Cage has that same technique but going faster.

[willdabest412]

thanks mate nailed it

[bluesboydude]

best teacher ever! (:

[EternalCircle1]

that helps a lot man....thanks...

[nuaurea]

[shamikmukherjee]

[loooool115]

@shamikmukherjee i am a kid^^

[nhlturtle87]

every body who teaches money for nothing teaches like everyone whos watching is a pro but you tewach it in such a good way. thanks so much

[sirsiddsixx]

thanks for the help man

[SIMMO9523]

Excellent lesson! Got it there or there abouts over 2 evenings! Thanks a lot

[music8stuart]

your missing the most important aspect of anything the man has ever played........the whole deal with knopfler's playing is a boogie blues rythm..........a chugga chugga thing.and you just dont got the chugga chugga.........so try and do somethin' easier for yourself bro'..........

[thegenrl]

@music8stuart dont listen to this guy. thank for you for posting!

[BENS19777]

You're right @music8stuart the rest of us should all just not bother trying to learn even if we're having fun. BTW, Your and you're have distinct meanings. Learn them!

[st3f4nt351c]

great lesson

[DanskeSange]

May i ask how i can get that sound?

Best regards

[reggin121]

can you still do it with the pick cos my fingers suck :P

[JakobBM]

@reggin121 yes you can Reggin ;) but its gonna sound a little different ;)

Sucky fingers rock, tho

[reggin121]

@JakobBM lol yea ;)

[Platewarp]

this guy is awesome

[matt46and2]

Good video, but the dynamics need work. Many notes are played staccato. And in the fifth measure I believe he goes to a high G at one point. Other than that, it's fine. IF ANYONE NEEDS THE RHYTHM NOTATION AND WOULD LIKE THE POWERTAB I MADE OF THIS INTRO, SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL SEND IT YOU WAY. (it's a very precise tab)

[matt46and2]

@matt46and2 ...or if you want the ASCII file (opens with notepad), I have that as well.

[gordymac1000]

great teaching. you leave it so clear for us beginners many thanks.

[sammielord]

I can play the intro 2!

But I keep it simple.. I think it sounds better the way I do... (My opinion)

But still Gj

[marcisgreatAA]

pressing 3rd should be a hammeron to make the that distinctive sound

[tomworshipsthecrue]

How did you get that sound out of your amp? What settings? Cause dayumm it sounds close to the original

[tvtalent]

how did u get that sound on a strat? it sounds exactly like the original.....almost still great great vid! this helped me so much!

[Jackdalanterna]

maan exceleent tutorial dude keep going like this ;D

[MrBubuStation]

dude you rock !!

i easily learnt this song with the help of you

Thanks

[cesario17]

i keep the money and you da chicks

[tayf85]

I'm sorry brother but you're not getting any chicks for free with that right hand technique

[SUMKREW1]

@tayf85 he plays acoustic you retard

and hes probably 30000 times better than you

just sayin

[Imbaschaaf]

@tayf85 double fail retard :D hmmm if i think about it twice....you even tripple failed xD how can you be so retarded?

[MarkThomasMusic]

@tayf85 LMAO! fo sho. no chickies for him.

[Guran111]

@tayf85 no but he got his own technique thats what it is all about play it in your own way and have fun

[pFOXter99]

hmmmm... This still doesn't seem close to what he's actually doing-- the left hand is probably pertty close, but what the hell is Knopfler doing with his fingers? i've seen the 'clawhammer' technique, but don't know how he uses it on this.

[heckfricker]

thanks!

[kerekd1]

it's a litle othet,and this isn't so good,bad it isn'T bad

[10000k2r]

[wickywills]

[fIRsTRATmAN]

good job! would you mind telling me what amp and effects your using. thanks & would be nice if you could check out my mk covers. Rock On!

[johnmngn]

you dont explain how to pluck the strings very good and witch ones to strum so it doesnt make sence

[CurlieCornflake]

to johnmngn

If he did any more he'd be playing it for you!

[slashfan1401]

Hey, thanks for the vid, it helped me a lot!!

[zemaganul]

I want to thank you for the lesson, has been really helpfull, but there's always a but isn't? Your explanation step by step of the first part of the intro is very clear, cannot say the same about the second part (on your own words, more thought) you are explaining the freets and strings, but not the strumming on each step which would be more helpful. Anyways, thank you again!

[dpeb3672]

hey man do you have the tabs for this song?

[guitarguy919]

there are so many versions of this lesson, I watched most of them, this is the best and most accurate one. I'm really struggling with this but I will be able to get it from this lesson...thanks so much. Do you have any other lessons available?

Thanks, Jim

[yuothineyesasian]

I totally agree, I favorited a version as good but it was in spanish...

I've got a half-ass version down myself but in an hour or two I should have this down completely.

[mefine86]

absolute;y amazing

[tommyb0072009]

fantastic lesson!!

[localhero635]

Great lesson! Thank you!

[richiebowen]

He sounds like George Bush Jr! Good tutorial though!

[SlAeNeScHeNxD]

very good lesson

nice tutorial!!

[PirateDanRocco]

Very Cool, AND great job on the tutoring!

[twotheiternet]

This intro is the best sounding out of all the intros for Money For Nothing Ive heard. Im Gettin 50 dollars because of this. Thanks Dude.

[jpbrussels]

woaw! bravo et merci pour ce chouette riff

[Bazza1316]

Great lesson! I am a complete novice and have already learnt half of it.

Cheers keep the lessons comming!!!!!

[PA28140]

Great lesson!  Some of the lessons for this song on youtube just plain SUCK! Yours is to the tee! Your tone is right too! Do you roll the tone knob off a little to get that sound?

-

[Justinsmith10]

right around 5:41 it gets a little confusing but i got it in the end

[goosehuntr1]

Great lesson! I consider myself a beginner and I had this down pretty good after only about a half hour. Gonna try the stranglehold one next. Great stuff!! What's w/ all the acoustic though?? Show some love to the electric!! Haha!!

[Recals]

nice !! good to understand thx !!

[johnthelad]

I reckon this is the correct way to play this riff.

Check out the Parkinson interview with Mark Knofler, thats how he plays it.

John.

[pballgangsta91]

Nice vid. Your tutorials rock. Keep them coming!

[Augustbell26]

Talking about hschneider, not the guitar player. The guitar player is awesome!

[JohnBorgo1234]

Keep Rocking my brother!!!
