Author of THE Mark Knopfler guitar site: http://www.mk-guitar.com/blog

I started to play the guitar in 1979. That year Dire Straits' first single Sultans of Swing left such an impression on me as a teeny kid that I started to play with the same finger-style technique like Mark Knopfler. Today this technique still seems to be the most intelligent approach, so I never left it. I try not to blindly copy things but to understand what is going on, for this reason you will find a lot of explanation in my videos.

Great Website and fantastic guitar work. Can I as a question concerning MK style. Would it be fair to say its major down storkes with the thumb or the up picks with the two index and middle fingers that create the majority of the sound?

Hi Ingo I'm subscribing. I can't really do MK style myself, but I do like MK and Dire Straits. I have some videos on my channel in other styles, if you care to check them out, I'm hoping to add more over time. And maybe someday I can master MK style too. :-)

Hi Ingo! I admire your playing and your MK-website. I´m also a huge fan of Mark and his playing. I saw Mark live in Stockholm 1980 the first time. Since 5 years I have a MK- signature Strat whitch is wonderful. I have recently started my youtube page so its coming more tracks. Now I have "Fields of Gold" and "Little Wing" with my Knopfler-style playing. Check it out. Cheers /Rolf

Thanks for the awesome vids and your great website which i immensely enjoy reading. Ive got a request here so you seem to cover all of MK's guitar/amps etc but please do a section of the amps used by MKs rythm guitar players all the way from the 1978 era to todays. Thanks again and my best wishes, stratman
