How To Play Money For Nothing By Dire Straits - Guitar Lesson - Mark Knopfler

In this video I demonstrate how to play the song Money For Nothing By Dire Straits. This was their smash hit from the mid 80's off of the album Brothers In Arms. It showcases some tasty licks and playing from Mark Knopfler. In this video I show how to play the main riff in the song as well as the verse and chorus sections, as well as provide insight on how Mark gets his tone on the song and his approach and technique playing without a pick. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

I remember hearing a story that he approached Billy Gibbons on how to replicate his tone and sure enough From Wikipedia ""Money for Nothing" is a pop rock song.Knopfler modeled his guitar sound on ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons' trademark guitar tone, as ZZ Top's music videos were already a staple of early MTV. Gibbons told Timothy White of Musician in late 1985 that Knopfler had solicited Gibbons' help in replicating the tone, adding, "He didn't do a half-bad job, either, considering that I never told him a goddamned thing!""
