    What a humble man.
    He's one of the greatest guitarists but still looks like a simple man.
    I can't believe he's one of us

      He developed great finger style technique based on Chet Atkins style of playing and very rarely needed a pick on the electric.

    What a charming and unassuming person Mark is. No huge ego or pretension - just one of the most talented guitar players ever. My favourite is the riff on the track "Tunnel of Love." Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I listen to it. Thanks for all the great music, Mark. 🎸

    Mark has given me the most musical pleasure throughout my life, and I am 70 years of age. Marks guitar playing has often brought me to tears with his moving methods of emotional crescendos and his individual riffs etc. I have not long left on this planet, but I wish I could just meet him to shake his hand and to thank him for what he has done for me and that emotional way he has made me feel so often. His music and the way he plays just sends me to somewhere special God Bless you Mark, thanks so very much mate. You have little idea what your playing means to me. Many will feel the same I know. Mark, you are a special musician, so rare with a gift that I cannot describe. Thank s so much!

    I can think of very few people who have moved me to tears the way Mark Knopfler has. His ability to combine lyrical and musical genius whilst capturing so many nuances of human experience and emotion in music are unparalelled (IMHO). He only had to pick that short melody from Romeo and Juliet for me to feel the deep emotion of the song. It's an incredibly powerful talent that is all too underappreciated.

      Sorry to tell you that he doesn't like fans. He just wants to write and perform his music and leave after his gig ends, and avoid fans, no matter how long we wait outside for him. This interview made me feel emotional during it, when he was playing those segments from his songs.....but then at the end you see how he doesn't shake Parky's hand and really struggles to smile while the audience are clapping and cheering. Despite giving such a great interview and having all that adulation, he looks depressed and drained suddenly. He's a genius but not a fan of people I don't think.

    Mark always comes across so humbly. He was playing in Birmingham just a few years before Covid and was being interviewed by the local paper. They were sitting outside a pub on the canal right outside the arena where thousands of fans were arriving for the gig and walking past, and not one person going to his own gig recognised him sat there. He said to the journalist that's how he liked it - he never had any interest in the fame element. Even on stage he's always had a habit of unconsciously turning round while playing to just look at his mates and enjoy the music, then seems to remember the audience is there and swings back again. Always really admired that - all about the music and the fame seemed an almost unfortunate side impact to him.

    I’m dying for the musicians to light this world on fire with music. Our souls are aching for it.
    They need to be heard. Performers have been hit the hardest and the people who help them entertain us. Glad TH-cam keeps these memories. Can’t wait to go his next show wherever in the world it is.

    First "Rock" band I ever got into as a wee kid ("Making Movies" album. Thanks for the introduction Uncle V!).... Still into 'em after all these years. Mark's guitar wizardry is legend (what I'll always appreciate is his use of fades, ghost notes and bending), but I don't think folks pay enough attention to his song writing. His ability to "tell a story" in just remarkable - and sometimes he doesn't even need words to convey the emotion ("Local Hero Wild Theme" anyone?)

    Used to sing Money for nothing as a very young kid with no idea about what i was singing but the melody was so catchy. So cool that 38 years later I'm sitting here in 2023 watching the very story behind the song. This is exactly what TH-cam should exist for.
