https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Bm2xvuzCA Here he is burning it up on the classic "Can't Find My Way Home." Took the cameraman 3 minutes that it was Knopfler and not Eric Clapton playing solo.

Knopfler is one of the very best ever.............love his sound, more mellow & melodic than Clapton's harder, driving style.

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.

Great video and some great sounding guitars! Played a buddies '59 Les Paul Custom a while back but I sure couldn't make it sound like Knopfler.

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.

No argument from me at all. I've been convinced for years.

It ain't what they call rock-n-roll.

One of my favorite guitarists/songwriters. I have all of his solo albums and a decent selection of Dire Straits.

Excellent video if you play guitar and he summed it up in the first seven words if you want to learn.

I put him pretty high too; oddly enough most top 100 rankings put in mid-range or thereabouts.

I think Clapton was best when he was riding the horse. Lindsay Buckingham don’t suck.
