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.
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.
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.
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 ✌.
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...
@@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
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.
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 generally completely and totally disregard and skip over these instrumental covers of the great artists who I love like Knopfler. For some reason clicked on this thumbnail and really pleased. Well done! Great to work by.
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!
@@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 🤗🤗
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
How had I never heard this before? Thank you Ian. Your beautiful and moving interpretation of the extraordinary brilliance of Mark Knopfler is exactly what our weary world needs right now.
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
I loved this and your interpretation of these beautiful songs. Sometimes the TH-cam algorithm does pleasantly surprise me. From the blistering hot Caribbean.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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...
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.
People are stupid ¡ i could rest my head and heart each and every day to this compilation... ...and the video encourages a person to close their eyes and enjoy :)
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!
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.
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
Your music is more than an impeccable copy, it is art in its own right. Thanks for nurturing your gift and sharing it with those of us in faraway corners.
@@IanGregoryBlain Hi Ian, I was wondering if I could use one song from this for a video with due credits and links to your work? 😸 (Sorry if this is ridiculous.)
Superb! Vibes of Mark Knopfler’s style are preserved and yet your style is distinct! It’s a great listening pleasure when music of your favorite artist is reproduced respectfully with care and yet with some creative flavors! Awesome!👍
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
Beautiful renditions! I have enjoyed reading so many of the comments, all expressing the same opinions I also share about this wonderful band. When it comes to freeing one’s self on a long drive, or for that matter anywhere, we now have yet another option. Bravo! Peace to all.
Ian, I was remiss in not specifically commenting earlier on your playing. What a beautiful touch you have! You are truly special in your own right. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Any chance of a part two? Or perhaps another artist in the same vein? Maybe, David Gilmour, James Taylor, Neil Young, CSN. Would love to hear YOUR interpretations. Peace my friend, and again, thank you!
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.
P.S. You absolutely nailed the style of Mark The Greatest. And started and finished with all time favourites for me, and ultimately finished with the greatest ballad (literally) ever written (however, sadly, not full length). Still, bravo again.
Wow, just started listening to this whilst working from home on a cold and rainy day! Beautiful interpretations of one of the most underrated songwriters and guitarists in the world. Thank you so much for your labor of love.
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.
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!
Wish I'd discovered this when I was driving thru the night on the German autobahns on our way to Poland. Anyway great to sing along in the privacy of home to these superb renditions. Thank you for playing and posting for our pleasure.
كلما استمعت لموسيقى مارك و داير ستريت.اشعر بنفسي محلقا في سماء الحب كطائرة وقودها رنات غيطارة مارك.هذا الفنان عظيم و فيلسوف موسيقي.لا مثيل له عبر الاجيال.اعشق موسيقاك منذ بداياتك مع المجموعة. 22:49
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!!!
Listening from Atlanta tonight. A much needed reprieve from the turmoil of social media. We all need to listen and allow your wonderful music to realign our mind.
This is such a beautiful, soothing playlist. I go to it weekly to make the mundane tasks heart-filled. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us all here...

Hi Ian This video just showed up in my recommended and Wow so glad it did! With these troubling times I’m finding this just so perfect. Also we do lots of road trips in the SW of Arizona Won’t this music you play be perfect! Have a big get out of town on Election Day trip planned. Cruising the quiet roads of Nevada, AZ and Utah for a couple weeks. Off grid camping. Pretending all is well in the world while he hide out in nature. Will be sure to take your music along on the dusty back roads I also have an autistic older teen who has discovered the piano and music is opening a whole new world for him. I know he will love your guitar playing as well. Inspiring Again thank you for this magical music you play~
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.
A good presentation to a great MK music..you can make a difference to this unsettled world full of undesirable elements in our mist. You have my salutation.
I only speak the truth. Give credit where credit is due, right? I envy anyone who has this much talent. I am 70, and been trying to master the guitar most of my life. If it lived to be 300, I could never play like Mark Knopfler. He is the master.
No lyrics necessary your guitar playing tells the story. It's extremely softer, gentle and more relaxed. No wonder you're regarded such a gifted individual. Just love listening to you play. God Bless you and everything you do.
da quando ho scoperto questo video non faccio che ascoltarlo. Sono davvero innamorato della musica di Knopfler e di queste meravigliose interpretazione. Con questo video la mia mente viaggia, anzi vola, lontano, lontano, lontano in posti meravigliosi. Grazie per aver condiviso questo spettacolo😍😍😍
Dire straits fan since early 80s. Love this compilation. Serenity ....this has just been defined by god and mother earth. Humanity wins out. Peace. Love.joy ..what a splendid morning it's been. I'm rolling another. Join me all. Pure unadulterated ms. Mary Jane from the Adirondacks. Finest in the vally.
I'm a huge Knopfler fan and this posting is nothing short of fabulous! Excellent rendition of Mark's playing with all of his nuances and your own take on the songs. The video brought back both fond and scary memories of learning to drive on the left side of the road while on my first visit to Ireland several years ago. After a day or so, got the hang of it but the roundabouts were endlessly challenging for this American driver. Still one of the very best places to visit I've ever been!
As an American, it definitely was a stressful adventure; a lot of the roads are just too tiny, and I was worried I might forget about the special rules. I did enjoy the green countryside!
*_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

I also have an autistic older teen who has discovered the piano and music is opening a whole new world for him. I know he will love your guitar playing as well. Inspiring
Again thank you for this magical music you play~
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.
A good presentation to a great MK music..you can make a difference to this unsettled world full of undesirable elements in our mist. You have my salutation.
Thanks Larry! Salutations
@@allenconville9058 enjoy the car ride!
The best instrumental that you will ever hear. Tremendous. Excellent. Outstanding.
Thank you so much James!
I only speak the truth. Give credit where credit is due, right? I envy anyone who has this much talent. I am 70, and been trying to master the guitar most of my life. If it lived to be 300, I could never play like Mark Knopfler. He is the master.
I have been listening to this on repeat whilst revising. Fantastic!
No lyrics necessary your guitar playing tells the story. It's extremely softer, gentle and more relaxed. No wonder you're regarded such a gifted individual. Just love listening to you play. God Bless you and everything you do.
Thank you for your response. Dire Straits &Mk absolutely my favorite musician. Enjoy your day.
da quando ho scoperto questo video non faccio che ascoltarlo. Sono davvero innamorato della musica di Knopfler e di queste meravigliose interpretazione. Con questo video la mia mente viaggia, anzi vola, lontano, lontano, lontano in posti meravigliosi. Grazie per aver condiviso questo spettacolo😍😍😍
Thank you Mark and Dire Straits so unique and so beautiful God bless all
Wow. What a great way to unwind. Great musicianship sir! Will definitely watch this a few times with the adblocker off to help you with revenue.
Thank you! The album is also available for streaming on other platforms, and that helps as well
I have arrived at no 6 before I've realized that this is not MK playing, great performance. You picked up his spirit and add some, thank you!
Thank you! I like getting that tone. It's not so much the equipment, but the approach in the fingers while playing.
Dire straits fan since early 80s. Love this compilation. Serenity ....this has just been defined by god and mother earth. Humanity wins out. Peace. Love.joy ..what a splendid morning it's been. I'm rolling another. Join me all. Pure unadulterated ms. Mary Jane from the Adirondacks. Finest in the vally.
Enjoy!
I'm a huge Knopfler fan and this posting is nothing short of fabulous! Excellent rendition of Mark's playing with all of his nuances and your own take on the songs. The video brought back both fond and scary memories of learning to drive on the left side of the road while on my first visit to Ireland several years ago. After a day or so, got the hang of it but the roundabouts were endlessly challenging for this American driver. Still one of the very best places to visit I've ever been!
As an American, it definitely was a stressful adventure; a lot of the roads are just too tiny, and I was worried I might forget about the special rules. I did enjoy the green countryside!
