Great great guitar player.
Why yes, you are correct sir.
Plus a heck of a song writer.
Oh man Romeo & Juliet, Sultans of Swing, If This Is Goodbye, Brothers In Arms...
Genius...
So far away from you.
There was a special on tv a while back with Mark and Chet Adkins. It was something to see and listen to.
Chet Adkins said, “ this man can teach me a thing or 2 about guitars”.
Quite lofty praise.
I remember watching a Chet Atkins special where he played a duet with Mark and at the end, just barely audible over the applause, Chet could be heard to say, "You're pretty good." They went on to play many more times together.
Knopfler is a low key guitar genius and excellent songwriter. It seems that the guys who play screaming guitar get the credit and ranking, while Mark simply and quietly exhibits his genius, as he has for nearly 50 years.
