I've been working on this since October, and it was very challenging but also a lot of fun to try and capture the essence of these songs.
I primarily play fingerstyle guitar, so my electric guitar playing is influenced by artists like Mark Knopfler and John Mayer, as well as acoustic artists such as Tommy Emmanuel and James Taylor.
Also, I didn't do the last third of Telegraph Road because it's already 10 minutes long, and as fun as an extra five minute long super-jam would be, it took me a solid two days to get to that point in the song. Maybe I might finish it in the future. No promises.

Thanks for watching! - เพลง
Music should be taught in school in India 🇮🇳 and Mark Knopfler should be one of the genius musicians to write ✍ the syllabus.
Music 🎶 🎵 ⏹ 🪕 🎼 is a gateway to joy and peace ✌.
The first sentence is correct, the second one is a lie.
I could listen to Mark play guitar for hours at a time, the sound he makes with the strings is like no other. I am in my 60's and fell in love with his music as a teen and never stopped loving his unique sound. Don't ever ask me for a favorite song, there are too many.
I totally agree with you. But this is not MK playing. This recording is excellent and I could also listen to this guy playing for hours also.
Honestly i listen to this everyday to calm me down from all crap that going on in this life
@@MikeyBAAZ You can't have any bad thoughts listening to this, it's like heaven on earth

I second you, and am even older. This is the lullaby for grown ups !
There's no anxiety or depression or negative feeling when you hear this masterpiece.Everything's gone and what's left is a sweet nostalgia and peace of mind...
False.
εληνας :)
Yes, so sweet...
@@peterwhitey4992 yeah for me Dire Straights is too incredibly harsh. I only feel the sweet nostalgia of my upbringing from songs like "Molesting the Decapitated" by Devourment and 'Meathook Sodomy', ' Entrails Ripped From Virgin's' from Cannibal Corpse. Now THOSE remind me of the soothing lullabies one of my nannies used to sing to me.....before...well before she was decapitated and her entrails somehow ended up being used to re-string my "dad's" set of tennis rackets. Lol
Έχεις δίκιο φίλε. Εκτός από αυτές τις εκτελέσεις και τα κομμάτια της ίδιας της μπάντας είναι εξαιρετικά. Απλά σε ταξιδεύει...
Knopfler is genius.
Legendary music 🎧🎧🎶🎶🌲🎄🎄🌲🎼🎼🎼
One of my all time favs. This os really relaxing after observing the nail-biter chaos in DC all day. Glad it's calming down.
@@susanrichard6913 Absolutely, what are you up to This year 2021?
I was so happy with Biden win and finally becoming the president of the united States....let me know where to catch ya,when you're not here it May Interest me to know more about you if you don't mind 🤗🤗
Being a big fan of dIRE sTRAITS, didn't expect to hear such a great and high quality instrumental version of their songs nowadays. thanks!
Thanks Zizhe!
@@georgevarghese2561 You're welcome George!
These songs are so relaxing...I JUST LOVE IT🌷
I have been a fan of this band, ever since l was 24 yrs old, now a young 65...year
old...and STILL
A FAN🌷Joanie
Da kannze ma sehen 😉
,, ,,,€,,
what a marvelous performance. i hope REAL knopler gets to listen to this.
*_The thing I really hate about Mark's music is when it ends_*
No no yo no hecho nata ella lo sabe pero lo oculata parade me tira que to Diego la vetta della regola verdaz que no la toque y no lo conferma si ho lo huviera hecho lo dirige se equvocan rigo diciendo lo mismo
Thanks for this, Ian! Almost february 2023 and this crazy ass world needs more chill. Hope you and your circle of peeps are doing well today!
there is honestly no other guitarist on earth who moves my soul like Mark Knopfler. But with this amazing set of instrumental covers, you came damned close - thank you so much for this.
SANTANA and Mark Knopfler are the best at evoking emotion
He doesn't just play it. He creates it. Great guitarists are ten a penny really, but great musicians who can compose, write and play at this standard are incredibly rare.
Aaa man, this is my wish. Just put some good music and drive somewhere..
Michael your wish is granted..You're welcome.
@@oussillah5373 Thank you.
Stumbled upon this. Ah. Dire Straights, auto trip. Pun intended. 😎
I"m with you 🕉️
🕉️☯️♍
Over the years I spent so many night’s driving thousands of miles between Tennessee and New England from the 80s to the 2000s -listening to Dire Straits. This is such a flashback.
I'm glad to bring back those memories!
Say hello to America from Russia)))
I love Mark Knopfler's writing and playing. This is really a lovely instrumental interpretation of his work. Truly enjoying it.
Thank you Valerie!
WOW an hour just went by and I wasn't here! For an hour I was transported somewhere else, somewhere beautiful, some where with no stress, no hustle and bustle of daily life, somewhere comforting and safe ... somewhere I want to go again!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a great time driving through Ireland, and to get to study and record these songs!
What road you took? I couldn't read the signs
@@redschonewille I know we were going between Clonmel and Kildare, possibly going back towards Dublin. I'm not sure though
@@IanGregoryBlain allright
I frankly wish I can like the press button a million times...u know how grateful I am for this upload.... Its the ultimate therapy for me
After chores I'm breaking out my guitar... indulging in a pure outdoor god given plant grown right here. Gods medicinal. You know. Love you all. Peace. And still listening to mr mark . Lucidly yours.
The sweet melancholy of Mark Knopfler's guitar... Thumbs up if Ian's playing has brought tears in your eyes, too. Amazing arrangement and video!
Thank you!
Man I'm already very emotional and when Shangrila starts I'm just about to cry. His songs are not innovative but the old-fashion grasps ya. Keep the good work bro cant believe someone still plays mark this greatly in 2020
Thanks Joseph! I'm really glad I could help bring these songs to life! I think it's important for the next generation to hear.
Such a pleasant change to be driving on the correct side of the road to such music...
As a student only now discovering dIRE sTRAITS, I can confirm that this is the best thing to put on during studies. And I thought mark was playing for three listens. Well done.
Thank you Jude!
I have only one complaint: why has TH-cam only just recommended this to me now!
You’ve done an excellent job on this. I am a massive Knopfler/Dire Straits fan, and a huge fan of guitar instrumentals, so this is just pure magic to me. I’m just gutted my father passed away earlier this month, because he would have loved this. He was also a fan of Ireland.
Keep up the great work.
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for your kind words!
@@IanGregoryBlain do you have this on facebook??
Cause TH-cam sucks
😭 You nailed Romeo and Juliet. You passed my cry test. I could sit at your feet and listen all day. Except, I'd never get anything done.:-)Thank you.
Thank you very much Vickie! Enjoy (and also be productive 😂)
An hour just isnt enough!!!!
Thanks! I'm working on more Dire Straits covers coming very soon! Stay tuned!
Exactly. Im listening every day here "at home at work :p", and wish it have 2+ hours ^^
@@bsuzano rite on
@@IanGregoryBlain Admit it you sleep with your guitar.;-)
@@victoriateague9012 maybe
I'm a fan of mark knopfler music...wonderful guitar play...youmake an old man happy hope to hear more from you ..thanks
Thanks Danilo! More is coming soon
And this old lady! Wonderful. Would it be possible to buy a cd of this for a technically challenged old Knopfler fan?
Mark Knopfler is a genius!
Thank you.. thank you. This is music manna from heaven. How is it not?. Superb. I am 51 white male grown in the Adirondacks and st lawrence valley. I have this playing as I am currently stacking my wood pile. My little kitty buddy hanging with me. Its 70 and a nice autumn breeze, sun poking out here and there. All of the colors and shades of leaves and grass...its Oct 10 2020. All is glorious in this beauty filled morning . I wish you all could visit. Its wonderful. Small home . Country living. Lots of blessings. Very humble. Come see us. Nothing like Fall in upstate Ny. Peace and love.
Hi Brian, upstate NY sounds lovely this time of year. I have family in the city, and have been through upstate, although not nearly enough. Thanks again for the kind words!
He is solo sound like a voice from heaven
This is an instrumental
I was really hesitant to listen to this, being an avid DS/MK fan. I'm so glad that I did though. Your covers stay true to the original songs but you add your own flair that is masterful in it's own right. Excellent work, thank you!
Thanks Andrew!
Mark Knopfler, is number one guitarrista, is Genius!!!!!!!
That's real Boss. Absolutely straight to my heart playing. And I'm a die hard Mark Knopfler fan.I shall save this for my longer bike rides...❤
So beautiful in a dark world..Never let your light go out..❤
I loved this and your interpretation of these beautiful songs. Sometimes the TH-cam algorithm does pleasantly surprise me. From the blistering hot Caribbean.
Great feeling and groove. You respected the band Dire Straits and the artist Mark Knofpler. You too are a great musician. Best regards. Cheers from Portugal.
Thanks Jorge! Cheers from America
Thank you very much. I'm just back from hospital and must rest my leg, cannot play music for myself. So its a great pleasure to listen to your marvellous concert
My pleasure! I hope your leg gets healed and you get back on your feet soon!
One word..., wonderful. My journey is better with Mark and Dire Straits. Thank you for this.
I work in the auto trade and I drive all over Ireland with music pumping, and Dire Straits are always there.
Great music and vision to dream to be free and alone of this crazy world
You come for the music and you stay for the video. Is it just me or does anybody else find driving through the night without any worries or fears absolutely relaxing? Thank you, @IanGregoryBlain - I love it!
L'imagination. ..le rêve ...la beauté. ..l'aventure. ..le ciel le désert le sable c'est mon paradis. ...Merci pour cette musique
Bonne soirée de Marrakech
Whoever they are, they're good enough to play MK without sounding like tone-deaf clowns.A rare treasure.
Hooray 👏
Thank you Mark and Dire Straits so unique and so beautiful God bless all
Mark ist der beste und einfühlsame Gitarrist
Thank your a lot friends!!!
I just wish I could sit in the next room from where he plays and listen until I am all gone.
Brothers in arms, be hitting different. Forever and always.
It definitely do be hitting different. I really enjoyed the studio version, and I still think that original 1985 can't be beat
Dire Straits é a minha banda preferida e fez parte da minha adolescência nos anos 80 e continua até hoje. 👏👏👏
Ela fez parte da minha infância e atualmente faz parte da minha adolescência. É uma banda SIMPLESMENTE FANTASTICA!
Aahh anos 80. Te amei, e te amo até hoje. Tenho 56 anos, e agradeço a Deus por ter tido minha juventude nessa época maravilhosa.
Simplesmente a melhor banda. Amooo ❤❤❤
I know it's not Knopfler playing, but this is beautiful. Knopfler always has been such a genuine guitar player, even without the lyrics it's so damn obvious what the songs are about. What I really admire though is that the lyrics match the music so perfectly. Only one guitarist can do that this well and that's Mark Knopfler.
I agree! He's definitely a melodic genius!
Is it author playing?
Knopfler’s right hand man plays everything to cover Mark and people don’t pay any attention to him. Jack Sunny is right beside Mark on brother in arms. I got to play blues harmonica with him in los Cabos
The most important British band of all time. His solo work is exceptional too.
We need music and calm roads like these... We have to remember there's still good things and peace in our lives... Thanks a lot, great job! Greetings from Rio de janeiro!
Thanks! Greetings from the States
Such deep soul in these pieces!
Thank you for brightening a grey day.
Absolutely love this. Just wonderful!
Марк Нопфлер навсегда! Спасибо!
FROM İZMİR ,TÜRKİYE I have been listening for 30 years, I have never been bored, I would like to listen to it for another 30 years. (google translate)
Thank you! From United States!
So beautiful! Dire Straits gives a good inspiration.
I am no musician, but I like good music. Your rendering of the Dire Straits is a treat to listen to. It gave me some feeling of both joy and peace. Dire Straits is my favourite music when driving.
Same here. I don't play a musical instrument, but I do enjoy listening to good music, whatever the genre.

Bonjour de France ! Moi aussi, c'est ma musique préférée quand je conduis..Rien de mieux ! Agréable à écouter
Meni takodje !....njegov album M. K. Screenplay uvijek je uz mene....razumijes Hrvatski
Man, you brought tears into my eyes. I am currently listening to the second track "So Far Away". Listening to it in the background I was like "I know this song" and my eyes started to get wet... Thanks, Gregory, for keeping me company on this grey rainy autumn day...
You're welcome! I think there's always some magic to rainy autumn days
Same! 'So Far Away' is my favourite song by Dire Straits. I was widely smiling to myself while the song was playing.
Listen in Russia, Urals in August 2021....
+35.... Not rain...........
This is pure gold, whoever's the artist for these tracks hve done a great job..the music is so beautiful.
Love these guys. One of the best bands ever.
Great job Ian, your performance honor the masters!
Thank you. This is some incredible playing.
Now this is a vibe. Well done.
Viviamo in un mondo finto ma Mark non ha mai sbagliato una canzone sia come Mark Knopfler che come leader dei Dire Straits... Come pochi sanno fare... Un Grande.
I love so much this unique style, such a nice band!
Beautiful, soothing music, thank you
I have been listening to this on repeat whilst revising. Fantastic!
It’s the journey, not the destination! Let’s not stop.
I love that telegraph road instrumental, gives me chills
Just perfect. Some fantastic playing and having seen Mark Knopfler live this is as close to the real thing as you'll get.
Fine, very fine. Thank you.
I was a sales representative. And as an old trucker, it reminds me of good memories. 👍👍thx a lot
You're welcome! I bet that was fun
@@IanGregoryBlain
That's true! I'm shivering. Thank you again Ian🙂
Thank you for the video. Reminds me of those days when $10 gas in my rented Hertz Camry could last the whole day going places on a weekend. Not so much when I switched to the Thunder Bird.
Thunder Bird rings a bell, was it a Pontiac by any chance?
If so, my old man had a red one back in the 80's with the big eagle on the bonnet/hood.
It's the only one I ever saw, we're in Britain, that thing was his pride and joy.
Either way, thank you for the memories 🙂 🤝
@@KumaBean To answer your question: It is a Ford. I like the Thunderbird a lot because I was then in my mid 20's and I love speed. I still remember one late autumn night I ramp the machine hard till the speedo reads '90' and the machine shook! That experience is unforgettable. I didn't realised I was going 90 miles an hour not 90 kilo/hr.! I guess your father would probably have many exciting experiences with the Thunderbird as well.
Thanks Ian - brilliant music !
dire straights was a great band. great music.
i recommend seeing dire straits experience, there is the original drummer and guy who played sax sometimes i think and they found an amazing replacement for knopfler, which is no easy task, because knopfler is a fucking GOD. but this is as close as you are gonna get so dont hesitate if u have the opportunity /and stay safe/
Beautifully played.
Brilliant !
Thank you 🙏❤️
Любимата ми група отпреди 30 години !
In my opinion Mark Knopfler is the greatest musician to be born in Scotland 🏴 (Ayr). “So far from the Clyde “ a river in the central belt of the greatest country in the world!! Thank you to Mark Knopfler for some of the best instrumental guitar music ever!!!
Great collection of songs! Thank you so much for sharing this and God bless all from Patrick
Thank you for the music and holiday drive.
Bravo. Instrumental music doesn t try to preach or tell banal stories you can't relate to. The music (right brain) is the soul-transformer not the words (left brain). Like spoken poetry is just the art of words -- without any sappy background music. Of course, GREAT LYRICS AND GREAT MUSIC is sublime.
Favourite band and the roads of a country where I've lived. Lovely
Cara, que incrível, parabéns por postar esses sons!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing the playlist. Amazing selection.
Talented individual. Doesn't get better than this. Never guite writing okay! Who would listen to. May God Bless you always.we all Love you remember that.
Thanks Barb!
Thank you. Have a good day.
Nice job Ian capturing Mark's style and sound.
This is great!!!Refreshing!peaceful.🧡ty much!!!!
Realy amazing Mark Knopfler.. Thanks.
an amazing collection... and specially the "so far away from the clyde", just blew me away
It's an endless happiness to listen to Mark's music🎸🎹🎷
Just came across this...I can’t say how much I’ve thoroughly enjoyed some of the best 60 minutes of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits strumming I’ve heard in ages. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you, keeping this in my listening library.
Thanks! I'm glad. Happy listening!
Ian, thank you so much for the wonderful vibes your performance brought . 🙏✨
Excellent!!! One of my favorite music in a wonderful performance!!!
Catching that spiritual aspect of this music. Thank you. So Relaxing.
Just wonderful arrangements of his music..timeless..
