You nailed that the best you can, props to that!
Comment from : @arthurodish2259

So play it right next time
Comment from : @SoberHighDrunk

Somehow it doesn't have the fullness of the Knopfler riff, even if the cords and picking is right
Comment from : @valgheller9849

Drawn to that riff
Comment from : @Jason-ln5nl

Lower the tone like ONE maybe a half
Comment from : @johnnycasteel7

chris buck gets unbelievably close
Comment from : @JonasCraftUltimate

bro you did it incredibly well
Comment from : @notmyfirstnamenotmysecondn2219

That’s pretty damn close brother!👍
Comment from : @lonniedufour2925

the legato are not here, you play all staccatoand there is a little bit after beat with the mute strings too
Comment from : @abadendareh

Almost close to the Beavis and Butthead intro
Comment from : @Phreekanon

I don’t know if it’s the room or what, but that is way too much reverb
Comment from : @DanSoloChicago

Put a touch of wah in it not too much but some
Comment from : @kodysanchez692

Very cool , nice bro
Comment from : @trusttrader642

You need a subtle Wah or forget it
Comment from : @allancrow134

You should check out @dylanguitar04 he is incredibly good at reproducing Knopflers tone(s)
Comment from : @ilikecrabsalot

You suck
Comment from : @hellofx

That sounds really close! Good job!
Comment from : @rybeliaz9886

The right hand technique makes a huge difference
Comment from : @Jbos201179

Close but no cigar, nice try eh 🤔🍺
Comment from : @johnnyloveful3818

I'd love to say love to say this video is accurate, helpful, and entertaining, but that would make me a liar, so I must refrain
Comment from : @DemoboyOot

Awesome tone
Comment from : @markjohnson6485

idk why but everytime I play Mark's licks, I just throw my pick away lol
Comment from : @cemalahimself

Can somebody give me the exact model of this guitar
Comment from : @SKASELOVERSINCE

Need a lil half-cocked wah pedal
Comment from : @leegrant245

It is the "unique" guitar itself, that Mark knopfler used Why you can not get the exact same sound
Comment from : @peggyfleener3111

I still haven’t found speakers to give this song the volume it deserves
Comment from : @chrisstallard6

Hahah, not even close but soo amazingly good! ❤❤❤
Comment from : @celebratelife865

i feel like i can play this perfectly, it sounds nothing like him tho
Comment from : @chrisc765

Unbelievable
Comment from : @anthonycurran362

That’s the way you do it
Comment from : @eobardvonmarehaven8343

Mark Knopfler has also said “I can’t believe I played so fast!” LOL!brbrLove That Player!
Comment from : @PR-BEACHBOY

Very close and very cool!
Comment from : @PR-BEACHBOY

That’s a pretty good job on tone It’s sort of like the “greeny burst” out of phase thing
Comment from : @rockstarr9000

Shut up 4sshole ❤
Comment from : @nicolopennabea7958

I had hope for Trump when I saw him starting to appoint the right people The It fell apart And now rhis
Comment from : @cfnaround1585

I love the 80’s
Comment from : @PatrickUTubeify

a little bit too trebly otherwise pretty darn close
Comment from : @pkoven

probaly the best riff out thereafter many otherslike sweet home alabama for onegimme shelter stones
Comment from : @fastone136

did you add wah on this one?
Comment from : @lasersauceretroarchives6544

this is not the exact tone, mark already tell the secret of the tone of this iconic song, he mention its the picking covering the sound and I guess that one thing you can separate mark from other guitarist and his unique way of finger pickingbrbr wwwyoutubecom/shorts/p21bOE_GDJU
Comment from : @eckoluismusic

Close enough👍💯
Comment from : @kurtweiand7086

He plucks his pointer and middle finger down on beat one and his thumb on beat too If you watch the video, he explains how he did it
Comment from : @AlyssaMartiniMusic

Dude, i can play better after 40 beers
Comment from : @sandorhartig3957

Its not far off
Comment from : @jaschaschaub676

I heard he use an open wah pedal to give the riff its originality, definately sounds like it
Comment from : @aaroncicanese

it's close but needs to be cleaner and grungier at the same time, the original it's deinifitely very clear tone and has lots of gain in it
Comment from : @motoraxservicemotociclete

Personally it sounds a little too bright and not enough low end But pretty darn close
Comment from : @josephpretorius8607

Pretty colse but not exactly the same picking brThe tone is great!
Comment from : @jannichar

Love it
Comment from : @sharrelson3344

Hey
Comment from : @iLayMattress

I wish my pick ups sounded like that… it’s either soft and sweet or mean and stabby
Comment from : @Lord_Baphomet_

With all do respect: not even close
Comment from : @peterbaron6818

U R - so far I just can't see 🎵🎵🎶
Comment from : @riotjohndoe

I just use wah pedal
Comment from : @Luke-ot7ho

Is this guy 5’3”? How does a Les Paul look so big on him?
Comment from : @maxducoudray

Pretty damn close
Comment from : @Priyadarshan_Nag

Nice try!
Comment from : @KristianMortimer-fq5io

Its most likely a half cocked wah pedal
Comment from : @Nightwing690

The tone is so absurd Never heard a guitar sound better
Comment from : @EAsinus

God you fucking talk too much
Comment from : @jonr7207

As a drummer, the drum solo at the beginning and into the groove is also iconic
Comment from : @LoganGose-tg1py

This single short made me start appreciating Dire Straits, thank you man
Comment from : @supertommy1000ify

That is a very complex song that probably just flowed out naturally! One that the writter itself can't remember what he did!
Comment from : @christiand7437

When I play this, I switch on my cry baby and move it until it sounds right Fun song!!
Comment from : @terrywood3883

It was the microphones and the studio set up which was small
Comment from : @copitsweet

Well done mate!
Comment from : @AlexRedrum

Add a notch wha
Comment from : @bartvuijk5645

Nailed it
Comment from : @davidwilmore145

It sounds like he's got a wha pedal slightly closed or opened too
Comment from : @BarronVonSchneider

Craziest part of this song is thar Mark was unsatisfied with the original take so when Weird Al asked if he could parody the song he said only on one condition: That he could play on it And eventually he got a take exactly how he REALLY wanted it
Comment from : @randomguyontheinternet7940

I think you got the tone quite well But what's not there yet is the fluid and melodic progression of the notes the way you're playing them Of course, few can duplicate the mastery of a Mark Knopfler playing
Comment from : @surfwriter8461

Spirit in the Sky is probably the most famous
Comment from : @Techn9cian123

Probably on acid they could never replicate that badass song
Comment from : @snakebite2529

The thing that made it a special tone was they had a wah pedal in the pedal chain and had it slightly turned on Just slightly being pushed thru They talked about it on a video I saw Said after they recorded they tried and tried to figure it out but eventually remembered the wah pedal was on but just not being used It really does take it to that next level Distortion pedal or just a nice Marshall distortion with a wah pedal clicked on and slightly turned up, and a EQ pedal Mess with the mids and treble until you find the sweet spot
Comment from : @TylerRajeski

The tone was well but the rhythm? I thought you knew better
Comment from : @ECMETALLICA

Not fat enough But very close
Comment from : @JPVanderbuilt

A mic fell down in the studio The one that was right on the speaker Only the room mic was on! Mark went to go fix the mic and the producer said NO! That's a perfect sound!
