I was browsing YouTube this afternoon for Peter Frampton videos from his days with Humble Pie; specifically, the 70’s version of “I Don’t Need No Doctor,” and comparing it to what he’s doing now. Amazing how he can still rock. While I watched one of the videos, I saw a related video of Mark Knopfler talking guitars.
Intrigued, I clicked on the link and was immediately drawn into his discussion. The video isn’t so much of him doing any teaching, but describing the various techniques that he employs. It is a bit instructional in that he says things like, “You can do this, or this…” But really, this video is a revelation, a view into the mind of a master, and how he approaches music and playing.
This is just too awesome to miss!
Mark is an amazing guitar player..really, truly superb and effortless too. Loved his music for many many years and I saw this on Youtube a while back. It’s great and he explains such a lot too.
