      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.

      @@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.

    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~

  • @thedolphin5428

    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.

    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!

    • @IanGregoryBlain
      @IanGregoryBlain  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!
