Rolling Stone Top 100 guitarists 2011

same song here:
 

I have this concert from The Royal Festival Hall - Robert Wyatt's Meltdown, also the Gdansk concert!   Of course he has a good singing voice, no doubt about that.  I was just comparing his high voice to MK's nice warm one, that's all!  

Actually, I always really enjoy watching this concert, it is much more to my taste than some of the big light and sound extravaganzas eg at Earl's Court  -  much more low-key.  It's one of my favourites!

For us we know he's no 1.... for others they will disagree. It's all subjective and there really is no such thing as a greatest guitarist in the world, it's ridiculous. We all have a favourite for sure. Take a look at some of the people who are below Knopfler on the list too, in reality it's just an opinion. Knopfler will always be the best to me but that's just because I love his Style and tone

Yep, you're right, I was having a mad moment there. Mark Knopfler IS the greatest guitarist of all time

how about this supergroup, this song kills me everytime, and by the way Gilmour's solo reminds me sooooo much of Richards solo on "..." the ATRR album, i posted that to Guy and he sort of ignored it.

The Cavern show had a much better atmosphere and ambience though - I could almost smell the inimitable aroma of sweat, cheap perfume, carbolic soap and leather!  The memories came flooding back lol!   I love Mick Green btw!

Here is a great clip of Mike Oldfield showing both his amazing guitar playing and composing ability. it's not the best quality video, but you can get the idea. I personally think Oldfield would be better playing with Mark than Gilmour, even though I LOVE Gilmour's playing, I feel Mark and Mike would compliment each other better, a bit like Mark and Chet Atkins.

try Cluster one from the division bell album, or Marooned from that same album, wait, here it is...

No  

[Love Expresso]

Yeah noticed that, too. But I don't think he is soooo great.... lol

No Other Baby is a really beautiful song, a true gem. Thanks for reminding me. Wouldn't it be great if MK would cover this song? Imagine, I think it is a typical MK solo song... And Paul adds a real nice singing and voice to this classic...

I just saw that there is a song called "What It Is" on that Run Devil Run album. Never heard of it before. It is not so standard that MK uses a song name that already has been used, isn't it?

run devil run is from 1999...
knopfler is a thief :-)

More proof of the similarity between Oldfield and Knopfler, check out the video below for Trick of The Light, it's from the mid 80's, check out the red Fender Strat Mike is playing, remind you of anyone? the fingerstyle playing, and the amazing solo from 2:49

"Solid Rock"?
