Dire Straits Eastbound Train - Riff and solo explained

[talstory]

you make it look easy (just like knopfler!)...Part of the genius of black musicians especially blues used to be making instruments sound like trains, etc. But I think MK on this record is one of the few examples from modern music...great!

is taht a knoplfer signature strat?

[IngoRaven]

No, the MK signature looks different (dark rosewood fingerboard, different red,...). It is a Squier JV from 1983, the one featured in my blog in the article from October 2, 2008.

Do you like that guitar because it looks like Marks early strat?
