I remember the first time I heard Sultans of Swing.

Jimi Hendrix said Terry Kath was a better guitarist.

Telegraph Road, a song written about a road in Detroit, is 14 minutes of bliss.
It's interesting that Knopfler as a Brit would have so many American themes in this music. It's a constant through his DS years and solo music.

Starman, Thanks for posting. That was pretty interesting. Loved the Les Paul!
I generally don't go for that skinny string stuff though.
Alembic Distillate - early '80's
Ric 4001
'62 Precision - Reissue?
Good taste, what amp do you use?

Clapton is a pioneer of the instrument. Everyone after him, learned something from him.

Clapton's major flaw was telling Pattie Boyd that he wasn't as big a drug and alcohol abuser as her then current husband George Harrison.

Knophler is easily in my top 3. His sound is just so pleasant to the ear.
That's probably why he is my #1................everything he does is just melodic & easy to listen to.
Clapton is my #2................Layla may be the best R&R cut ever.................ever. And his early work with Cream is incredible.

Yep. Those idiots that write for Rolling Stone Magazine once listed that hack Kurt Corbain in the top 10 of all time greatest guitarists.
He wouldn’t rate in the top 500 in the real world.
Besides, everybody knows SRV was # 1. 🤠

Seen SRV live when he was still sweating cocaine out of every pore. Seen Clapton live long after he he had cleaned up and was playing with more like an “orchestra”. Seen Gilmour play when I had no sense to recognize what I was hearing or seeing. Never saw Paige play live, nor Hendriix. I did see EVH. I like knopflers sound a lot, but never seen him live either. Tween whom I have seen live, it’s SRV or Gilmour.

Out of all listed, I would probably say David Gilmour and Knopfler are most closely comparable in their devotion to tonality, how it relates to ‘The Song’, and their mastery of The Song whether they wrote it or not. True Artists.

My favorite guitar player is the truck driver from Smokey and the Bandit.
You're thinking of Jerry Reed, (Smokey and the Bandit).
Glen Campbell was also an excellent guitarist.
Yep, was seeing if anyone would know who we was.

Jimi Hendrix said Phil Keaggy. I agree. All mentioned except Cobain are really special but Phil Keaggy takes the cake in my opinion.
