Dire Straits star Mark Knopfler to auction Brothers In Arms guitars - BBC NEWS

[qjamesfloyd]

Sure, but when you are known as one of the all time great guitar players, it's hard to deal with not being able to be that person any more.
I get frustrated when I hear myself play these days, compared to 1992. I'm not going to kill myself, or even stop playing, but it's still frustrating....and a little depressing.

I guess you must feel for what has happened to Phil Collins Chris?

[qjamesfloyd]

Although Mark has many iconic guitars that he is auctioning, he will still keep lots too, so, It might actually make recording go quicker, as he will have less guitars to try out on each song!! Also, it doesn't really mater if he has 120 guitars or 20 guitars, as we know it's all in the fingers, so, he will make them all sound great.

About Pensa-Suhr MK-1:

I love that guitar, it made some unbelievable noises. ‘I recorded so much with it, and now I’m brave enough to know that future songs won’t call for it

Yes, I don't think he's really ever done anything better than the first album and how many guitars were used on that?

Ha, Dire Straits.

I’ve just been recording some stuff for a little EP, and roads run through all those nursery rhymes.


The article - the interview ends at the most interesting moment.

I'd say that some of the titles that appeared in iswc could be that little ep of nursery rhymes

They really seem to be soundtrack cues as previously discussed.

If my favorite guitarist sells his guitars, I can only think that the tenth album will be the last. But I try not to think like that.

He's not selling ALL his guitars, but the ones he doesn't use!

Yes, I know, but my first thought was sad and reflective.

Same feelings here. But yes there are still many guitars left that brings back hope for more music to come our way by our hero.

Maybe so, but it's the fact it is the iconic ones he is selling that hold so many memories for fans like us - the ones used on his most famous songs and biggest tours.  I just don't understand how a human being can have no sentiment.  Even the Höfner!

Yes, mixed feelings for sure. However, I know older people who start to sell/give away their important or even expensive items. Might be something, which we will understand when we get older.

I'd say six or maximum eight :

- the two fender strats (or maybe only one ?)
- The two nationals (I guess the Tricone on Water of love, and the Style O on Wild west end)
- an unknown acoustic on Water of love
- The black thinline Tele on setting me up

- maybe the LP special ? (not sure for this one)
- maybe the sunburst Telecaster ? (not sure for this one either)

I have had a look at the 77 films New Line have in development on there are a couple that could have something to do with those titles, for example the C.I.A. I haven't had the time to check them all, plus there isn't much information anyway.

There is a character called "Schumann" in Wag The Dog, which was produced by New Line Cinema...
