- To play the riff of money for nothing, the legendary track from the Brothers in Arms album of Dire Straits, you have to practice the 3 finger picking style that Mark Knopfler uses a lot in his guitar riffs and rhythms. Leave a comment if you are interested in more content !!
"That's the way you do it."👍🏻
you play the guitar on your mtv
@jasond1976 But he hasn’t played the guitar on MTV 😂👍
@@2inchtim222"He play that guitar on the TH-cam feed" Comment i found on Marty's Money for nothing video 😂
Ah i see what u did!
@@2inchtim222 now that ain't working
This is the closest I've ever heard, both tone and playing.
Type “shut up and play money for nothing” and hit the first thing that comes up, that guy has to be one of the best at emulating classics
@rafayealmeida yh there's harmonics and a wah pedal involved needs to be tuned and open
You're right.
You should see the video of Saturax, french guitarist, who explain very well the Knoplfer's technic for this riff.
Exactly,this is the closest I've ever heard to the original
I don’t think the tone is close at all but it’s still a sick tone
Mark Knopfler is a genius. Love his fingerpicking. He's one of my definitive guitar heroes!!
He is first in my list while Mike Oldfield and Hendrix is competing for second place.
@@michaelwirth6843who's mike oldfield
That was seriously good, you can tell he's a musician not just a guitar player, a subtle but important difference!
Hey man I don't like the sound of that shit. (What you said about players, (guitar).
I personally play several instruments, and the comment, "just a guitar player" pissed me off a little.
Having been lucky enough to have put food on my children's table from being "just a guitar player"
Maybe I'm being too sensitive in my old rockers age but 🎸 I guess it's the Rock&Roll in me.
P.S.im seriously baffled even further by your usage of the Queens English. I'll bet you don't play or you wouldn't say that shit. Peace!
P.P.S. The moment you create sound just for the beauty of that sound, your a fucking. musician. PERIOD!
There is no difference you see. He likes it, the way it sounds. I don't care if he's slapping a branch against a tree. He digs it. And if it's music to his ears? It's music. Therefore making him a musician. No?
I need more content line this, fucking beautiful mate.
Ken Oath!
musicianship shows right away. haven't seen a better rendition of this iconic riff. impeccable. i played it on repeat, many many times - great work.
That was some heavenly vibrato
Have heard plenty of people cover this song and this is the closest I've heard someone make the guitar speak like Knopfler does. Very well done
that picking technique is fantastic! Is it possible to do a slowed down tutorial of what your right hand is doing? i can't quite figure the percussion part out
Just check my channel! I uploaded a tutorial on MFN
Yes, I will in the near future I hope. It is mainly based on the thumb-(index&middle)-stroke-pluck pattern. MK uses this almost everywhere. Walk of Life p.e I will do a video of this as well.
No it's not
Closest version to the original I've heard so far. Very few people can get all the nuances right in this amazing riff. 👏
I think it's all about the strumming pattern, pay attention to what he does at first with palm muting, he's gonna keep that pattern while alternating with open parts like the beginning, then return, but the secret is to alternate correctly the lower part of Mark Knopfler's hand position (two fingers) and upper part (thumb), using 2 fingers on first note of the riff, then the (thumb + fingers) X2, and then try to stay in groove with the (thumb + finger) X6 + thumb. I think understanding this pattern is key, and then working towards details, like muted harmonics and overall groove feel.
That vibrato was exquisite
This is the closest I've seen in terms of getting the feel down. I like how you show the pattern before you even lay down the chords cause that's honestly the most important part.
You have nailed it! Not many do.
One of the most legendary guitar riffs ever played! Awesome job man
Bravo.....bravo...bravo....le tapping,technique phare de mark Knopfler es là, le jeu es clair,la recette magiquement géniale de ce rif de guitare es là......jouissif.....!
U reminded of few classic rockers who exist. Lovely ❤
I've been trying to profect this riff for years and my boy right here makes it look easy
Yes. That clawhammer technique that you demonstrate at the beginning is vital to the sound. All the muted on-beat stabs are thumb down strokes. In fact, once you realise that, it becomes easier to play.
Exactly, that's the whole point of "how to play...".👌
Havent had the volume up but could tell straight away by the picking pattern. Lovely playing!
Best picking technique! Yours is my main lesson. 👌🏼👍🏼🤝🏼
Pretty complex for a intermediate… the mutet downstroke doublestops with harmonics, the alternating muting and ringing, the thumb timing, the groove.
Well done sir!👏🏼
You look like a badass model, your guitar is perfect choice, you play even more badass. Man... This is crazy rare stuff. Love you
Yeah. Just looks like he could maybe use a bit more sleep.
Such a cool riff. What a classic
First ever person on youtube I've seen play it right!! Epic!
I've been playing this since 1985 and so have many others.. this one is not even that good considering he had a chance to pick the best performance.. epsecially the second run
@@michaelciancetta6397Do be a bitter baby🤓
One of the all-time greatest guitar riffs ever created, period! Great effort, bro.
Even nailed the natural harmonics... well done
This man has cracked the knopfler code
Out of everybody that plays that song, that was spot on. Probably the best I've heard yet hands down. 🤘🤘🤘
Very cool playing dude.
This vid made me realise why knopfler used a les paul for this, tone is spot on, but i really miss the body in it
You did a very good job giving the short note that’s “vibe” I don’t know what to call it. I feel that’s what he does that’s why no one can recreate it. Every single note has that sound and most can’t seem to get the short notes.
That's awesome, very rarely do people actually get what I refer to as the Knopfler Claw Technique right. I wish I could nail it like that because I love that song/riff, unfortunately I broke the knuckle closest to my hand on the index finger of my picking hand and my dexterity suffers for it. I have work arounds and got really good with chicken picking so I just do my own thing with it.
Dudes tone is spot on. Love the way he added his own accent to certain notes.
The fact that you picked it and got the pattern and timing, correct made it easier to learn, versus having to memorize the frets over and over again
This is the best version of this I've ever seen/heard. It's all in the right hand!!
That’s one of the smoothest licks of all time
Man I wish you’d come back and make this video a bit longer. This is the best one on the internet of getting it right.
@montarctica Thanks a lot for your comment! I'd wish I could, since it not have been easy for me playing, suffering arthritis. However, I will try again some day in the near future!!
Only person on TH-cam that gets the right hand correct.
Man i wish i could listen to this for the first time again. That intro is nasty. Nothing beats that. I wish i had a room full of speakers so i could blast it and appreciate it even better
Pretty sure i heard not even Mark remembers how he played it for the recording, so you nailed this!
I think that's correct. I know I'm not "exactly" playing it like M.Knopfler in the original, but the essence was to show the simple picking and muting.
Creates a song to talk about money and TV, creates the absolute most badass riff for it.
THATS the way you do it
That is just the best guitar riff ever written... Smoke on Water,Iron Man,Dust in the Wind,Stairway to Heaven, there are many many others but Money for nothing is the best.........
This is shockingly accurate
Perfection 👌 this is one of those rare riffs that feels exactly as good on the hands to play as it sounds 😂
one of the sickest riffs ever
Yeah, that's how you rhythmically get the groove. No one can sound like Knopfler, but it's pretty damn good!🤘
This is really good. Check out Paul Davies as well. He breaks down the subtleties for you.
Fantastic. Great right hand technique. Great sound/effects.
Line 6
Très bien joué ce morceau de Dire Strait 👍
THE best i've seen someone other than Knopfler play it
Well, you have nailed it, that's the way you do it 😮
thanks so much for this “how to” video, really taught me everything I needed to know! 🙄
Best cover ive seen so far.
If someone told me in the fall of 1985 that this riff would be stumping guitar-players for decades, I would have believed you.
Tone on my telecaster bridge pup with tone rolled back a fair bit works for me but I havnt found an exact patch out there for any effects processor... yet, I say yes because there must be one worthy of capturing the true essence.
But it is very much doable with just a guitar and amp and some compression if you have it. But humbuckers are the way if you dont have a beefy high output bridge pup. Maybe 500k pot dedicated to a really high output singke coil bridge pup with thick strings. Theres so many ways to approach this best is to keep it simple 💯
This below is word for word copied off a search I found that is what I use...
"In early performances, Mark tried to recreate the sound with his Les Paul set to the bridge-position humbucker using his amps and little else for tone shaping. Later on, he started using the neck humbucker, adding a rackmount EQ/filter effect to alter the tone (best recreated with a wah pedal set to a fixed position"
Also in searching for the right tone i found its a lot like a ZZ Top style tone.
And
Finger picking a les Paul junior plugged into a laney amplifier.
Or
Marshall JTM45
Guitar one left channel lead
Guitar two right channel lead
Both guitars 100% Mr Knopfler fingerstyle.
I genuinely hope this helps someone it's a great sing so the more folk playing it right the better I say
nice. I like the ‘come hither and listen’ without saying a word. draws you in
That tone sounds great. Keep it up man. It's a deceptively hard riff.
Finally some one played it in the right way. Well done man❤
Love this song. Keep on a rockin'!!
About time someone nailed it
The playing is 99% perfect. Only the harmonics could be played better. Congrats.
I’ve been trying to nail that riff for ever, you nailed it there!!
mark knopler is my favorite . great gob!
Well played! So much songs I need to learn😂 Stuck at grunge songs atm.
Def one of my fav riffs of all time
No hesitation, quality 🎶👍👍
Excellent! Thanks! I needed help on my version.
Good effort pretty much nailed the tone for a fraction of the cost 👍
I think this man may be a huge Knopfler fan 😊
Smooth
I am interested and n more content😂😂😂. This is great. Thanks m trying
To dissect what you are doing. The here isn’t a whole lot about Knopfler’s technique out there. I think I’m getting close, but I could certainly use more tips and practice
Hey dude please release a full tutorial it would do so well🙏 proper awesome playing, would love if you could add tab too as I’ve been playing it differently
Beautiful Sound
You nailed it 100% perfect 😊
I’ll tell ye what that’s the best I’ve heard on TH-cam but no one can play it like mark crazy how tough of a riff it is
Play same way as him. You're a legend already
That tone is so beautiful 😍
that's exactly how MK does it. well done man 👏👏👏
Please make a tutorial 🙏
Nailed the tone for that riff to!!! 👍
God damn that tone is so good.
KEEP IT UP!!! beautifully played
That is bloody fantastic!!!
I’d love to see a full video of this and I would I’d love to see you rift other songs as well
Absolute genius!!
Wow you nailed the tone and cadence
Smoothest tutorial
Someone who is actually doing it correctly!
Best I’ve heard, other than the original! Great job!
Serious amount of style in this short video
Hello Frans, I'd politely request more covers and if possible tutorials as well. Excellent right hand technique
Hi Pablo, Thanks for dropping your question! I hope I will someday I'll be able again and make some tutorials on the subject. I'm suffering from osteoarthritis, which has, as you may guess, a great impact on guitar playing. However, stay tuned! , as I'm excited to post some new stuff.
@@franssenden9578 hey Frans! So sorry to hear that, best of luck and I hope your condition improves! I'm subscribed so any content will be welcome! By the way those Xmas songs with your family are quite great! Have a nice day!!
Love the “come here” at the beginning
Wow, you killed it 😎🎸😂👋👋
The confidence radiating from this short..
😇
The riff sounds so legendary and timeless, as if it came from a distant galaxy.
2 amazing players that use/used fingertips on electric:
Mark Knopfler
Jeff Beck (RIP)
Yes they are both magical, but in two completely different ways.
Well done man! You nailed that tone 🍻
You make it sound so original yet so your own. Sounds freaking amazing. I need to learn this song . or maybe not cause I would play it constantly in a loop lol wife would hate me after a while but I love this song.
That's exactly what I'm doing Justin, I try to make it my own rather than copy MK's style being a bad copycat of some kind. Some people (here 🙄) won't get that idea, unfortunately. It's important to get the intention, not the exact copy. If you're lucky, then it will even sound convincing as well!!!
I LOVE this song
Nos ha quedado clarísimo, macho.
Wow you’ve got the tone bang on
Excellent, it sounds perfect
You are an inspiration mate
That riff is so cool
Nice, I have to learn that claw technique. Early 2000's mexico in midnight blue? I have a 2001 in the same color myself :)
The vibrato after a couple of seconds actually is better than the original, well done.
A bit too enthusiastic I would say haha. Heat of the moment.
@@franssenden9578 so stay enthusiastic for the vibrator was perfect. : )
