According to the 1984 biography of the band, "Lady Writer" was inspired by Marina Warner, who songwriter Mark Knopfler saw on a TV program, hence the opening line "Lady Writer on the TV..." In 1976, Warner, a highly educated polyglot, published a scholarly book about the cult of the Virgin Mary. For some reason her appearance struck a chord with Knopfler, bringing back painful memories of a love that was no more. There's real venom in the song, and it is evident that any resemblance the talented Miss Warner bore to his former lover was strictly physical.
I'm so glad to have discovered your channel. I'm a huge Dire Straits Fan and I don't know a lot of people to talk about Dire Straits to or youtube who make Dire Straits covers either ñ instant sub! Cheers.
I think this is the first cover I've heard, where I couldn't tell it from the original. There are just barely two words you say that show the difference but you really have to listen to hear it. Amazing job!
@@allanmerritt2151 oh dude no worries!. I appreciate different perspective, I was in a band as a keyboardist. I've always found it kind of difficulty to find a balance when it comes to covers. Some of them are definitely great and others I feel like they are trying to do to much. But this one here was one point. Plus you pointed out the uniqueness of this this as well so it all good!. Nothing but love!
I wish I could tell you... I'm not sure myself. I learned guitar on my own and my goal was always to play like him. I guess it's a lot of observation and a lot of practice.
Thanks! Aside from reverb I don't remember. I used one of the built-in tones on my Line 6 AMPLIFi TT, and tweaked it a bit. But I've lost that tone since unfortunately.

I disagree he has his own unique sound that's why he gets attention the sound his guitar makes I crisp
@@allanmerritt2151 you are right a well.
@@titanmedia2234 sorry bro no disrespect to your comment I'm just an old drummer that looks for talent

Nice man
Perfect !
Beautiful cover:)
Thank you!
....as we were Young....l❤👍
Maaaaaaan, like a boss
So awsome, can you pleaaasseee tell me how you learned marks fingerpicking technique
I wish I could tell you... I'm not sure myself. I learned guitar on my own and my goal was always to play like him. I guess it's a lot of observation and a lot of practice.
And by the way I am nowhere close to playing like him :) I'm just approximating the best I can.
David Claux well you fucking killed it impersonating him. 10/10 WILL watch again.
Re excellent !
Hi I'm from Algeria 🇩🇿 north Africa thank you so much I enjoyed it better than mark knopfler well played
Capolavoro
I like it!
what's the device where you plug your amp into the guitar. Never saw that before. Wireless?
It's a Line 6 Relay G10: line6.com/relay-wireless/g10-g10s
Ok Thanks. Good guitar playing also.
Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Para sacar el sonido a parte de los gifs, que compresores o pedales usas?? Ampli, de válvulas supongo....??
I used a Line 6 AMPLIFi TT to record this. Unfortunately, I have lost the tone I dialed :(
@@DavidClaux thanks you
excelent sound!! what compressor pedal use?
Thank you. This was a tone I dialed on my Line 6 AMPLIFi TT, and unfortunately I lost it and don't remember how I did it...
🔥
I'm ur 500th sub! Well deserved! Whats ur guitar setup? Which strat model is that? Greetz
Yay!! Thanks for subscribing! This is my Mexican Strat plugged into a Line 6 AMPLIFi TT and into the computer, with minimal processing.
Nicely done, and interesting ending ! what effects are you using for the guitar tone?
Thanks! Aside from reverb I don't remember. I used one of the built-in tones on my Line 6 AMPLIFi TT, and tweaked it a bit. But I've lost that tone since unfortunately.
