Mark Knopfler - Masterclass (Part 1)

Listen to MK and his stories attached to whatever he plays is priceless. You see his journalism background - no story untold.

That student is actually really good he came up with some sweet phrases while sitting across from a total legend. Respect.

Mark is great and all that but classical guitarists use fingers en masse

If I was in that place I’d show em

You can tell he doesn't approve of the guy saying he,s not interedted in finger picking ..I think Knopflier started on that

Confused if the first guys a midget

Imagine Knopfler asking you to just play a quick something....

Imagine the intimidation...playing something in front of Mark. MK is humble and generous a rare combination these days.
Wonder what song they are working on?

amazing star of the globe yes sir mark Knopfler what a modest teacher

Music is a voice from the heart. Mark sings from his. I have monkeyed around with a guitar my whole life and just when I think I’m getting somewhere, I see someone like Mark play and the humble comes back. I will play until I die but I will never make it to Marks milepost. He is the master but I think my love of music is the same as his. Thank you, Mark.

Was he sporting a fender rock pro amp ?the silver face behind Mark ?

Each time l come back to this the guy in the checked shirt's face gets more and more punchable.

I just look, that I look where my fingers go. There are only 4 ... 👍😁

I have to confess, I didn't like sultans of swing when it was released, but I was very curious about the guitar player. Since then my respect for mark has continued to grow, the man is very talented.

Seems its Mark took some masterclass from this guy😅

Mark always so cute ❤❤❤❤

"Mr knopfler how do you..."
Mark: "shut up Im talking now and turno down your guitar volume"
"but....?
Mark:"did you hear me?"
Ok

Don’t like that guy’s attitude

Mark Knopfler is the "best of the best" in my book.

MK is a patient instructor that one could just jam with ! Great video !

No está subtitulado en español ?

They all sound like dogs with a mouth full of peanut butter trying to talk.

It’s a shame about the bad reposts bc he’s not a bad guitarist, just comes across arrogant when you clip it. He’s demonstrated two pretty tasteful styles pretty well even if his drop D was out of tune. There was probably a lot of non-verbal or prior communication we can’t really get a sense of which made him comfortable being like this with Mark, despite Mark being a pretty serious guy.

Nah at _

Nice bit of 'Sweet Dreams' in there 👌

They’re all really good guitar players I don’t know why people in the comments are slagging then off. The solo the first guy played was beautiful

Brilliant guitarist shit teacher! Never mind can't be great at everything!

Very modest of the master to sit with the other students rather than out on his own.
The grey haired guy should talk less and listen more smh.

The 1st guy, bless him. He really thinks he's arrived with little else to learn.

Guy in the chequered shirt was expecting more compliments 😄

Rick Lucas, the guitarist Mark Knopfler could have been………way to go Rick!!

2 notable issues with 1 solution:
The student lacks humility and won’t listen respectfully to the master.
The master doesn’t know what to teach a student that wont listen.

I put knopfler right up there with Beck Hendrix Blackmore kossof so original creative and unique

Spanking definitely has a chip on his shoulder. Love how Mark took the higher ground. Pure class.

I noticed that he let the young guy rip, he didn't try to overshadow him in anyway or show him up, just laid back good advice !

It’s so therapeutic listening to Mark speak.

Could you imagine having the balls to look MK in the eye and say, “I never learned to fingerpick and I don’t regret it.”?

A true master. I always thought of the Sultans of Swing as a 3 minute guitar master class (as well as a terrific song).

MK Rocks love Tunnel of Love

The world... where these guys live... is not the same world where I live.

That Pensa sounds bloody amazing.

Year?

I'd be nervous as shit

This man impressed more than the "thousands notes per Minute" players - it is like "go to holiday" if i see some Clips like this

I don't love all of Knopfler's music but I'm never less than in awe when I listen to/watch him play. Absolutely incredible.
