It is, besides the overall tone, he often does little muted rhythmic notes, which is a big part of his 'signature' sound imo and near impossible to replicate with a pick. This guy does it very well, 2:25 is a great example :)
Great tones and playing! With that amount of custom shop guitars and amps, one could surely buy a car 😅 Would be great to see same video with small amps and affordable guitars (squier, epi), I suspect they would sound very good too, given the guitar player
What really impresses me is that you nail the idiosyncratic shit that each of these players do. You intentionally let yourself clunk on notes with Jimmy Page, and with Mark, you nailed that weird bumblebee vibrato he does.
Nice playing once again. I love the series. After that one, I admire the guitar player in my dad‘s band even more. He nails all MK tones with one Guitar, one Amp and a late 80s multi effect.
Who is this guy, and why haven't we heard of him before! I came to check out the site because I heard him playing, I am staying just to hear him play! Wow, and I live in Michigan, USA

Just bought a Fender Eric Johnson .....Nothing would bit m’y sadly sold Mark Knopfler model from 2005 ! The EJ has an aweful neck...will sell it in the next day and look for another decent strat ....Any good choice around 1500 euros or less ? Thanks for your help...cheers from France
It’s a shame you aren’t a schecter dealer as he played schecter strats more than he played fender basically because of feel and I believe the fact the schecter strats had one tone and one volume…..anorak info there is on TH-cam somewhere a guy who actually bought marks sunburst schecter with brass pick guard from an auction house and it’s a gorgeous guitar.
He only really played Schecter Strats through the 80s. The first two Straits albums and almost all of his Strat use in his solo career has been Fenders. Plus, his preferred Schecters more often than not didn't use Schecter pickups, and the Schecter company now doesn't make anything with specs particularly close to Mark's original Dream Machines - even the recent reissues they've made which capitalise on the idea of those originals have different pickups and dimensions. Short of getting an original Schecter Dream Machine, the Fenders are probably about the best example. He did go on to use his Schecter Tele a little more often, but the same limitations still apply.
Darren C In the early years of Dire Straits he played maple necks a lot. I saw them a couple times in the late 70’s and he played maple fretboard strats and Music Man amps.
@@bobbybowers356 yeah sorry mate your right. For some reason I was sure he'd used his 60s fiesta red strat for years. I was thinking the one he used at live aid was the same guitar but it had a maple neck.
He had two Fenders in the early years of Dire Straits, one maple, one rosewood. He got rid of the maple a few years later after being advised by a luthier that it was a copy. Hard to say which of the two were the most used, because he swapped around a lot, and even swapped the pickups between the two depending on his mood. He tended to use the maple one during the short period where their video clips were recorded, but that doesn't mean it had more use overall - the rosewood was the first he got, and in his Guitar Stories episode he seems to suggest it was that one which he wrote Sultans on. This is the one he still uses. In the 80's he used Schecters, not Fender, which (apart from one rosewood) did have birdseye maple necks (this is what he plays at Live Aid), but they are technically not Strats, they're Schecter Dream Machines.
Not so good ! Fender ok but he did no play like that Telecaster : not the good way to play the song called 2 young lovers: bad technique and playing Brother in arms : there are tons of better songs at full volume the end : you have not EMG SA SA 85+Emg boost and more with so it's quite dramatic ! just some tones !!
INSPIRED BY......we're not trying to replicate tones down to a molecular level, we're just showing our viewers how you can get close to the sound using off the shelf gear.
Good playing, but most of the tones, if trying to duplicate Marks tone, you aren’t very close, except Money For Nothing. In the early days of Dire Straits, Mark mostly used Music Man amps. Dr Z is not even close to that sound, in fact they didn’t exist then.
We used the Z28 because it’s based on the Brownface Fender sound, and Sultans of Swing was recorded using a Brownface Vibrolux. Dr Z amps are great and we’re really big fans of them. Definitely worth checking out!
Great playing Jack. You're a true master of the instrument.
no
it 's jut an approach no good technique no good pickups no good guitars no goo amps
To Suhr with love.... sounds from another world.
Every day I'm more convinced that a big part of Knopfler's sound is in his right hand... Anyways, great tones!

Fantastic playing. And that's the best rendition of Money for Nothing I've ever heard. Spot on! Tactical victory!
Simply awesome!
Dude your videos are great! Fantastic playing and tone
knopfler is a guitar genius, nice playing jack.
but here
it 's jut an approach no good technique no good pickups no good guitars no goo amps
Give Jack a raise, he is the sole reason I watch these videos
Love these series! Keep it up Peach Guitars!!!
Great tones and playing!

Hi jack nice guitar player to mark knopfler is my favourite guitar player from dire straits I got the cd for dire straits from chris
Knopfler used schecter USA custom shop strats for a lot of the 80's and 90's
I can forgive you for the lack of Schecters cause the tones are absolutely stunning :p
Missed the MK1! That one has a distinct tone. But the standard would be close to his first black suhr!
Beautiful playing as always
MK is my favorite guitar player of all time - really nice tones, and excellent playing!
Wow now that is truly amazing!
What really impresses me is that you nail the idiosyncratic shit that each of these players do. You intentionally let yourself clunk on notes with Jimmy Page, and with Mark, you nailed that weird bumblebee vibrato he does.
Cool!
Some tasty playing there :-)

Jack's awesome again. That fiesta red strat look very nice.

maravilhoso
Tasty playing!
Holly Shit that brothers in arms tone you got! 🤯🤯🤯
Is there any chance we can get some more info on the Kemper profile? That sounded spot on
Nice playing man! Is it just me or that Strat's fingerboard looks dry??
I'm seeing some Eagles and Skynard dueling guitars coming...
Just bought a Fender Eric Johnson .....Nothing would bit m’y sadly sold Mark Knopfler model from 2005 ! The EJ has an aweful neck...will sell it in the next day and look for another decent strat ....Any good choice around 1500 euros or less ? Thanks for your help...cheers from France
Have you tried the new pro USA strat? There good.
Geart playing
nei concerti live del 2019 Mark Knopfler quali amplificatori per chitarra ha usato ?

Why don‘t you profile those Rigs for Kemper users?
We dialled it in by ear, but it’s the “Soul Dano” present with some added reverb and delay from the onboard effects.
Mark mostly used maple fretboard strats.
When? All the videos and interviews with Mark I've seen hes using his 60d strat

La tecnica che usi per Money forse nothing è sbagliata
Were you trying to make some expensive gear sound inexpensive?
it 's jut an approach no good technique no good pickups no good guitars no goo amps
Not so good !
