Guitarist Magazine (UK—May ‘24)

[kaleo74]

Fair enough. I was very much in two minds about posting it, I just wanted fans not in the UK to enjoy the article.

I was reading quietly and then on page 3 the link you'd shared disappeared!   
Thanks for sharing

[quizzaciously]

Nothing really new there apart from photos anyway, but it was a very well-written piece from somebody who clearly did his homework before talking with MK. Overall, the magazine is worth buying. Not the first time they had a good Knopfler cover story.

MKNews:

The May 24 edition of Guitarist magazine contains a fascinating must read interview in which Mark talks about his “rusty” guitar playing, approach to writing lyrics and recording songs, and about some of the guitars he did not include inn the recent Christie’s auction.

I don't buy this "rusty" talk. That he's been so obsessed with songs and lyrics that he hasn't had the time to sit down and noodle for 30 minutes a day? Not even during the pandemic? Come on ...

would love to read it! Was the link removed by someone?

[Love Expresso]

Guys, I really hate to be a party pooper but after consulting fellow editors I have removed the article - for now.

One, we want to protect the forum from the threat of any legal issues coming from copyright infringement.

Two, I think we need to be fair to the individuals involved in producing this magazine to try to sell as many copies as possible.

Once the magazine is no longer available we can revisit but hopefully everyone understands in the meantime.

Yes. Our Editors did. Dusty explained why.

Good to know! In all seriousness it's good to support this magazine, they do a great job and so many magazines have closed down already.

[Peter1981]

yes, I agree!

Hello, my name is Heike, I'm a long time reader here. Maybe I can help here...


If you go to their website and look for the online store. There you can subscribe or order single issues. I did, mine is already on the way. I am in Germany, so this works for a lot of you, I suppose!

Hello Heike!

[Heike]

I started going to concerts in 1991, have seen lots of them since, and enjoyed every minute. I came too love this music with Sultans. Heard it on ma car radio when it was brand new... 😁

Many thanks!

Interesting he changed the pickups in his signature Stratocaster

Just picked up a copy and yes, he had Callahan pick ups fitted to his 2008 Sig Strat. It is used a lot on ODR
