Telegraph road - performed by Matija Cizmar

[lewek2000]

perfect job Matija ..regardings from Poland

[sjefrey1]

Matija all my respects !!! (for following plz use translator)

cher Matija ! vraiment chapeau ! j'ai écouté avec grand plaisir tes cover mark, et j'avoue tu joue très bien, focalise surtout sur le timing des notes + tu dois aussi mettre en valeur les fameuses note sèches (son du canard ) joue les sans hésitation ! ce sont la marque Knopfler

Chapeau encore Matija ! cela fait plus de 21 ans que j'écoute mark à la guitare

[sebasredspecialfan]

watching this again, and again and again and again. From the start to the end and back again.

[mdmarceld]

Hey man what are you amp settings? your a genious!!

[UKToneHunter]

What do U think of the hot rod deluxe against the deluxe reverb on the clean channel, some say because the DRRI is only £200 more, it is not that much better, they say the clean sound is similar, lots of people say if U want a better clean than a HRDx U have to be prepared to spend double your money to get any sizable difference,, what do U think, I know the DRRI sounds nice, but so does the HRDx, people always slate the overdrive, but I have the 3 hrdx, & the overdrive is great, a lot tighter

[Rustove]

Hello Matija, it is Carl, hope you someday can make a good cover of these video song, too. It is amazing!

hope you are ok! Carl from USA.

The son is Beggars Canyon from Jhon Armstrong

[loulouboy59]

Geat....great Job !!!

[marcioagnelo]

awesome!

[djmills1]

Another great job! You are an inspiration to a new guitar player and a huge Dire Straits fan. Please keep playing and posting!

[nikolazindovic]

nemoguc si,samo naprijed ovo slusam hiljadu puta na dan...samo tebe...:)))

[SuperModwolf]

Well done pure talent great to see it, keep it up MK would be impressed

[leukste4]

i think the technic you have super,after watch all your videos it sounds all the same like mark ,only in the faster part at the end of this song i think mark had more fluency in his younger years,at the age he is now you probaly outplay him

[Scartapus]

Don't you use any effect ?

[leukste4]

nicely done ,i think mark would be proud on you

[chrispy3210]

Top work mate - really nice playing and a great sound too. Cheers!

[TheMrStarcrafty]

I just broke my F5 button...

[cambogrande]

are you using a backing track?

very nice cover!! fantastik! :D

[sd006]

Wow! Great technique and tone. You don't even need a Strat!

[gailouwai]

Ma preferé de toutes ! continuer comme ca ;)

[xTiLkx]

Great cover, but I'd have preferred it if it was in 1 take.

[AndreaTurano93]

OMG you play it amazingly :D how could you find those parts played while he sings? i would pay for a whole tab of this song, the way you play it :)

[azboband]

I thought.... another take on Telegraph Road cover and waited anxiously before the first note you played... I though, it will either work or it wont in all respect....

You played that first intro note and I knew from there.... wow!!... you play it with remarkable acuaracy and tone... just right and you're using a Squire!!.... testiment it really is in the playing and you certainly have it!... well done!

[HesseJamez]

brilliant*****

[ZuurstofNL]

Gawd awesome sound. And excellent playing!

I guess it's my guitar/amp/crappy playing style:D, but I just cannot get such clear and beautiful sound from my guitar. Where should I look into first for getting that clear MK sound? Pickups? Guitar in general? The amp?

Anyways, awesome m8, keep on rocking!

[marcioairplane]

man, I love to hear u playing....

Sometimes I open youtube, minimize the browser and surf on the web hearing u play on the background.

For me the best one is Stretching Out. =)

AWESOME³

[bearboneskentuck]

what upgrades do you have on thisw Squire??

[herrwizo]

@bearboneskentuck

Only Texas Special Pickups. They make a hell of a difference. But I don't use that squier for more than a year now, I now use MK strat. I still ocasionally use squier when in fear that I might damage my MK strat :)

[Geotubest]

Nicely done. What a great tribute.

[herrwizo]

@Geotubest

Thank you so much!

[Stratocasterhead51]

could you explain what you do exactly from 10:18 to 10:24 cos your fingers move far too fast to see what your doing =P

[herrwizo]

@Stratocasterhead51

I practiced that part for about an hour before recording it. Basically here is what I have done: since MK played too fast to distinguish notes, I loaded up this song in audio editor and slowed the song down and then memorizes all the notes and started practicing. That's how I did it.

[FreudsteiNekro]

That was sooo goooood! :D

[Kennymurraycampbell]

Deadly man!!

[Rustove]

Amazing !! tribute to MK, and for you, 5 stars, great job! very near MK, style!

keep the good work!

Timbalero from Puerto Rico, Carl L. Burgos

[pikefisherman1978]

Fantastic guitar playing, sound just like MK, nice one. :)

[leaba]

very cool

[SalieriGroup]

Zaslužuješ bolji strat definitivno.

Pozdrav iz Srbije!

[herrwizo]

@SalieriGroup

Imam već godinu dana MK strat, ali je i ovaj stvarno dobro zvučao za svoju cijenu :)

[liviovent]

@SalieriGroup

Ciao, i play Mk, sorry a question:

how set mid , bass, treble , rev and delay for this song...(I have a strat mk signature and a peavey classic)

Thank for your music

[EdVidz]

I didn't save cover songs. Now I do. This video is worth listening to and studying. Very fine.

Keep up the work, you've got something cooking here, sincerity and fluidity.

[herrwizo]

@EdVidz

The best type of comments I get and I appreciate the most is when people tell me that they use my videos to study playing or when I inspire them to buy a guitar and start learning.

Thanks a lot!

[Stratocasterhead51]

man that was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PedroPatsf]

WOW!!! Great stuff. Your playing inspires me to buy a strat. Just for fun.

[don19581016]

if you can provide telegraph road guitar solo lesson i mean slowly how to do thats great thanks Matija- take care------- Don from srilanka

[don19581016]

mr.matija you have a god given talent.wonderful performance. if mr.knopfler see this he will be very happy.

[don19581016]

excellent work

[Fabijan81]

rasturio si ga u originalu, svaka cast. ovo je nevjerovatno. pozdrav iz virovitice

[herrwizo]

@Fabijan81

Hvala puno :)

[SuperModwolf]

another great job done by you keep it up mate very talented

[orionrodi]

WOOOOW!!! You are doing a FANTASTIC job! Keep up the GOOD work!

Thumbs up!!!

[fvkivn]

better than any other version on utube

[MrToto6431]

amazing!!!

[karlbosilev1]

tab?

[blownspirit]

your play makes me forget my question..I understand that you use EMU 1616..would like to know how much is good for recording and mixing on sonar FL studio or protools if it's compatible with last one..need your help!!

[herrwizo]

As good as you can imagine. It surpasses my knowledge with its features by a long shot. Extremely configurable ASIO support with a whole bunch of I/O and realtime hardware effects. Takes a real audio professional to use this one up to it limits. And I'm far, far from that - I'm only playing and using it to record because of excellent sound inputs/outputs.

[blownspirit]

thanks a lot my friend..continous to make video..I'll support it!! great job awsome play!!

[blownspirit]

wow awsome incredible and amazing!!

I'm for 20 years ago a dire straits and knofler biggest fan...what can I say!!

you're the man!! mark should be proud!!

keep it up man keep it up you've got the right feeling...love it !!

[thundersteve1566]

BRAVO!!!

[codrolino]

Very good !!

[laur4545]

Genial!!!

[vardor100]

It was great... How long you've been playing? Keep with that, great job

[gallifreyband]

Excellent fingerpicking mate

[ZackyPick]

You're great! really moving! way to go!!

[RubbahSlippahs]

Herrwizo!

Kudos on your early MK tone. Beautiful job! Hard to believe you're getting such vintage tone with that sort of deep compression using just a Hot Rod Deluxe. Amazing! Are you sure you don't have an Orange Squeezer hidden in the signal chain somewhere? Haaaaa!

Thanks.

[herrwizo]

Hehe, yes, I'm pretty much sure :))) Thanx.

[mazy2500]

first class m8 all the best

[localhero635]

You are one of the best guitarist in youtube!

[toletum91zgz]

The best cover i've never seen!!!! You're great, Matija... Thanks for the video =D

[gussie76]

Fantastic playing, perfect. Thanks for posting.

[PedroAmaral16]

Perfect! You're the best dude!

[iorebucu]

9:00 to 9:10 !!!

[herrwizo]

@iorebucu

Yeah, I like that party myself! Rhtyhmic parts are a great thing to learn!

[adrianogazzo]

Please, Kill myself right know! Does MK know your playing??!!! You desrve all my respect! Honestly, I could envy you, but as soon as you like MK' songs just like I do, you are my musical Brother, AWESOME!!!!

[herrwizo]

@adrianogazzo

I won't kill you :D MK probably doesn't know that I even exists, but thank God I know that he exists :)

[girllovesmusic]

@herrwizo he'd wonder if you were some long lost son if he did know! ;)

[Vitimk12]

My favourite Knopfler song.Good work!

[jeffandmatthardyrule]

...wow... I grew up listening to this as a kid... it's always made me want to play guitar... and to see you play it like that... just incredible. Thanks for uploading this. Just astounding.

[StingrayMk1]

Great Job - thats some fine playing and a lovely sound.

[chaifjuice]

Great, best cover.. very nice sound for squier

[sebasredspecialfan]

Squiers rule :D

[sbenichou]

Best cover ever

great job

[white1room]

GREAT!!!!!

[funkee05]

very nice

[niko66]

hey buddy, nice sound, what amplifier  you were using to secure that so good sound?

[herrwizo]

@niko66

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Today I'm using Fender Twin Reverb.

[chuckthemagicnorris]

Hey man, this is amazing! You have the tone down perfect! Just goes to show that you don't need a $1500 Fender American to get the job done. Which version are you using as your backing track?

[herrwizo]

It can be found on two Dire Straits albums: "Dire Straits: the very best of", and "Money for nothing". They are the same.

Version from the "Alchemy" album is different.

[paolaboy10]

weellllllllllll doneeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

[Bjornclaw76]

Awsome job!

[dgvskn]

enhorabuena¡ formas parte de alguna banda en la actualidad??

[calitot]

great job.

congrats

[localhero635]

Great cover!

You should perform Down to the waterline.

[Jgh013]

I agree, this is a great song! :)

[Stiffmeister1973]

Very well played Matija!!

5 stars man! You´re an exellent guitarplayer with nice feel and exact tone and phrasing.

Awesome dude!

[sbenichou]

great

[adriantarta]

Sounds great, Matija!

[caramello7knopfler]

Where do you find tabs to Dire Straits' and MK's musics??

[herrwizo]

Nowhere m8, there aren't any that are good. I had to play by ear, same as for all other covers.

[MunchyToy]

That looked like a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe you were playing through. Has the Squier had post-factory pickups installed and if so, what are they? Very well played with Mark's distinctive tight vibrato. You can keep all the technically brilliant and flashy players in the world; players like Knopfler, Brian May et al really have a sprinkling of stardust from some celestial entitiy!

[herrwizo]

Equipment listed in description, yes, Hot Rod Deluxe and Texas Special pups...

[mikiliescu]

well done ! keep going

[avago2day]

Amazing talent, terrific style and accurate to the original.

The best I've heard anywhere, not just youtube!

[parmat88]

Great! Well done, man! Amazing playing! 5 stars.

[jamesmcmanus79]

Great sound. From a squire too.

[lukatherknopfler]

amazing man, you play really well

[ferpi29]

bery goog lo haces bienme gusta

[sjonnie8998]

dude you KICK ASS keep upp the good work YOU ROCK!!!!!!!

[marciowx]

Very good congratulations, I am a Brazilian when the song Telegraph Road was thrown for everyone I should have some 2 to 3 years of age, today I with 28 years I love this music this classical immortal.

[Luknopfler83]

Really good!

[Vesalius1]

Awesome! Great, great!!

[leonjay1]

Hey mate. Cool playing. Is that a Squier Standard series? What gauge are your strings? Well done, very impressive!

[herrwizo]

Affinity with 3 fender texas special pickups. Strings are 0.09, now on MK strat I have 0.10 and they are easier to pull then 0.09 on squier :D

[strelizius]

je veux bien monter un groupe avec toi !

tu MAI-TRISES !!! bravo

[DogSwede1]

Great, as all your videos. :)

[Kristalyviz]

Nice!!! - Pls Come Hungary and Make Concert!!

[drakdargon]

i realised i have to play 2000years to get at yr lvl Q_Q

[herrwizo]

More likely 10 to 15 ;) There are a few "breaking points" after which you manage to play songs you were not able to play before. one such point for playing this song for me was 11 years of practice ;) Sultans were there after 4 to 5.

[PeeNoYaKo]

Your Squier has a Bigger headstock than mine lol.

[goranoldrich]

hej majstore

ovo je odlično,hvala

[hillbill94]

hey can you tell a great difference between the texas specials and stock pickups

[herrwizo]

Very big. Especially if you already own a good tube amp.

[PeeNoYaKo]

Lucky you, I might never get to see MK T.T sad face.

[SamborRayVaughn]

Anyone who attempts to 'cover' a Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) tune is brave. Anyone who attempts to 'cover' a live Dire Straits song is even braver! You nailed that good and propper! Well done you! Oh and chill out and relax a little when you play you seem very reserved in your playing, let your self go a little

[prbprb2]

This is great. Really appreciate all of your posts. Have you seen "Rocking Fingers" version of Telegraph Road on youtube. It is really great too. Would love to see you play just a little more aggressively around 9:30, I think the performer should be really busting at that point. But wish I could play 1/10th what you

can do. Sincerely prb

[fIRsTRATmAN]

beautiful

[fIRsTRATmAN]

man you should jump on the bed and play that way you'll feel your on the stage.lol

jokes apart youve got the feel dude, keep playing. you made me happy!!

[hhalbo]

great, god bless you

[sultansofcalifornia]

Have been listening to a lot of these and this lad is as good as anything I've heard. Knopfler is probably one of the hardest guitar players to copy because of his style and incredible phrasing. This guy just about nails them all. He needs to be in a band if he can find people good enough to play with him.

[EnlightenedStudio]

I totally agree. mark is one of the hardest guitarists to imitate. i honestly think any of his solos could possibly be made better by any other guitarist.

[EnlightenedStudio]

*NOT possibly be made any better..

[EnlightenedStudio]

thank god someone actually posted a full cover of this song. Loved your finger picking technique, im trying to learn it but im finding it difficult. Any tips? How do you do it?

[Undertakep]

Well... If you want learn fingerpickin'...

Good Luck, it requires a lot of practice...

Anyway, for guitar lesson about Mark Knopfler tech you can search "aborille" Channel...

You'll find anything you need...

Includin' examples on Mark's Work (Both hands, left and right are displayed)...

Good Luck man it's really an hard target... :)

[mickimen4]

dobar si momcino zvuk si dobro namjestio pogledaj moj telegraph road ako ti nije mrsko pozdrav petica od mene [Verry nice]

[plkmnbhgf]

good!!!!!

[ZRUBAVEL96]

You are one of the better guitarists here on youtube !!! BRAVO

[MisterIBANEZ]

classificato x il trono di Mark!! :) bravissimo!!! quando suoniamo qualcosa insieme? :)

Complimenti davvero!!!

[DonTh]

Wow that's awsome man! Verry nice sound! Do you have some tabs?

[herrwizo]

Sorry, no. Not for a single song. Most of the tabs online are no good, anyway. That's a sad truth, you can't trust the tabs. I would, if they were written by MK himself. But that's never the case ;)

[DonTh]

Yeah i know that's why i hoped you have made an good tab :P

[herrwizo]

Currently I only play, I'm no tab maker, but who knows, maybe one day this will change :)

[fvkivn]

MK would envy this!

[tristy29]

respect from Slovenia in Zagreb :D... u got really ql performance :)... Bravo Mitja

[urik]

I'm sorry, but no words can describe the awesomeness of this video.

[herrwizo]

Probably the best comment that can be given, as well. Thank you, mate. I'm glad you liked it so much.

[master244]

he's right tho everyone who can cover telegraph road like this deserves respect

[sccooterfort]

yea man he's right, i didnt think electric picking was any good but...........damn.....that was just beutiful

[382516]

BRAVO MATIJA!!!

[idijot13]

Stari, stvarno si faca. Jesi li to sam skida ili imas negdi tabove, vilja bi i ja skinit

[herrwizo]

Po sluhu, da sam imao tabove bilo bi lakše ali šta se može.

[vodenkobila]

ovaj mikrofon me muci... kao da je snimano drito s line-outa....

[herrwizo]

Snimano je tako da je preamp izlaz iz pojačala spojen na predpojačalo i onda drito u line in ulaz od prefesionalne zvučne kartice E-MU 1616M. Video i audio su onda spojeni. Mikrofon nisam koristio niti u jednoj stvari koju sam snimao jer kvaliteta ne valja nista. Cak ni ovo nije onako kako zvuci kad nije u flash formatu na youtube. Taj flash guta detalje zvuka poprilicno.

[vodenkobila]

svaka cast!! odlican sound!!

ne kuzim, koji je to squier? izgleda ko affinity (po headstocku) (=]) ali mi vise djeluje kao neki japanac, sredine 80-ih...

super pickupovi zvuce s hot rodom!!

koji je mikrofon u igri?

[bronhitis]

jbteeee.....fkt si dobar. Ipak na koncertu je bilo bolje :)

[herrwizo]

Da nije bilo bi žalosno ;)

[leibundgu0]

well done again. its alwas a pleasure watch you performing

[beavisvr]

very good playing. anyway it was fantastic yesterday in Zagreb

[Ivan19051992]

odličan koncert da bar opet dođe....

[nikolasostar]

Pozlatile vam se svima riječi.

[Singlehandedsailor1]

Bravo, koncert je bio predobar...

[kizo1973]

[raulp123]

Super, bio je predobar koncert
