@@jeperstoneClaiming others don't know anything about guitar whilst missing out on the key difference between being a great guitar player and a great songwriter is certainly ironic. The fact they fill stadiums doesn't mean they play hard songs or are impossible to replicate. It means they can write beautiful songs. And the same thing goes for Knopfler. He has amazing songs, but frankly not the hardest sound to reproduce.
For those that have not seen it, I highly recommend looking up Mark Knopfler Guitar Stories on here. It gives a lovely bit of insight into him, his journey and why he chose that guitar in that moment of his career.
I think what this series is proving is that Dave Simpson can become any damn guitar player he chooses! Talk about versatile! Top job, loving these videos
I'm biased as a Geordie, but for me he's the greatest all round player on the planet (or maybe was in his heyday). Can play umpteen styles all perfectly. Such as scholar when he talks about the instrument too.
Dutch guitar lady here. I agree, Mark does play any style you can think of and he does it flawlessly. Also, apart from being an amazing guitar player, he is a great songwriter and storyteller. You’re right, when you hear Mark talk about the guitar or about music in general,he seems very philosophical about it.
That's so wild both of my favorite guitar players got together to make it an album Chet and Mark. Mark Knopfler can write a song about anything totally amazing.
Mark Knopfler is one of my all time favorite players and Dave Simpson is probably who inspires me most as a guitarist of all the newer guitarist on the scene, and possibly as much as all the others like Knopfler. I love that Simpson is such a down to earth dude that just happens to have guitar God level talent. Thanks for doing this series with him, Anderton’s.
Wow thanks captain for having the very cool 😎 Dave Simpson back on your show , he’s just so good , nice tones and knopfler sounds well done both of you , looking forward to you having Dave back again soon. Cheers all 👍🏻🎸🎸👏
I think I might have used the "singlecut guitar" for the BIA tone, Can't say I've ever seen Mark play it on a Strat. That would also have an effect on which pedals sounded best for that song.
An odd choice of tune to start the show as Mark plays "Romeo and Juliet" on a National resonator guitar in open G capoed at the third fret. As Dave mentions during the show, apart from the cocked wah pedal in "Money For Nothing", the most important pedal Mark uses is a volume pedal. He originally used a Schaller pedal but eventually that wore out through constant use so I'm not sure what he uses these days. I've seen him live dozens of times from 1978 (Dingwalls) to pre-pandemia and can't recall seeing him use anything else. His tone is in his fingers (literally) 😉
I'd rather think, Brothers in Arms was done on a Les Paul, middle position. It's a more mid-heavier, honkier sound, with some great smooth overdrive, little reverb if at all
I remember driving on 11/11 at 11am and Radio 1 played Brothers in Arms after the 2 minutes silence. They just gradually faded it in. It was emotional to say the least. Telegraph Road is a great song aswell.
Sounds like (both low and high budget) with Dave would be an outstanding series. Seeing him go through the shop choosing unconventional stuff to get conventional tones would be a lot of fun
Telegraph Road and Tunnel of love. I saw Dire Straits at Wembley in the 80's, Knopfler was using a Schecter Strat for Tunnel of love. It was the best live performance I have ever witnessed.
Yes, he used a Morley first and moved to an Ernie Ball. But he has his modern pedals fitted with old electronics because the new ones don't have the same curve to the swell.
AT LAST.. Thank you Lee for finally commenting on Mark Knopfler, In previous vids you refrained from making any comment, esp the vid with Pete where by you seemed to dismiss him compleatley . Glad to know you like him, i may just buy from andertons again now.
Mark's most used pedal would be his volume pedal, which comes at the very start of his signal path. The "money for nothing" sound is very much dependent on the way Mark adds a bit of percussion with his right hand both hitting and muting the strings aside from the cocked wah.
The gentleman who engineered the Money for Nothing session has stated on record that there was no Wah on the album version (apparently they struggled to get the right tone until at some point one of the mics fell over into the magic position), and to my ears that sounds correct. The lead guitar on the album is double tracked the whole way which gives it a quasi quack, but it doesn't sound as obvious as a Wah to me if you listen to the isolated guitar track. The tone changed a lot when Mark started using one live, which he notably didn't do when they first toured the song.
The first time a heavy riff moved me, was when I heard the riff after the intro to Money for Nothing played on a record player in my friends basement. It started my love for the electric guitar and heavy music. Funny as it is, as Money for nothing is not a heavy song.
great Lee and Dave. Lee, I played a Brunetti singleman 30 amp last week and I 'm blown away . What a perfect clean punchy amp. Lots of headroom. Great reverb. Great build quality and sound. Great pedal platfoem too. Looks cool and portable. For me : a "better " (more headroom) Fender deluxe reverb amp. I don ́ understand that these amps are not realy famous. Good value for money also. Maby worth trying? I think you and Pete will like them a lot. Thnx , Mike
they hypergravity is a multiband compressor - with so many options available via toneprint. I have mine set up in a way that the threshold is lower for bass notes. This really makes it stick out in the mix. Love it. The forcefield (also Tc Electornics) is also nice for funky sounds - at around 30 Euros.
The really big giveaway was the title... maybe another good Dave series would be "Guess the artist" where it is basically the same thing, but the audience isn't told who Dave is trying to replicate until the following episode and incorporate a poll with the video? Could be fun interactive viewing.
Mark Knopflers Pedal is the Ernie Ball Volume Pedal! This is the one he is associated with, because he uses this for his iconic volume swells. There are some rumors that his tech bought in the 80s all of the remaining original Allen Bradley Potis from the factory before Ernie Ball changed the supplier for the poti.
Dave is a fantastic musician. Seemed like he was just winging it for the last sultan lead. And from memory he got the feel pretty well. That was fantastic. It took me 3 days to learn that, not on the spot. Go Dave.
After learning and playing for 14 yaers I gave my picks to a music teacher friend in an under preveledged scool and started to play Fender guitars and Japanese copies ( circa 1980 ) as I loved Ry Coooder's and Mark's finger picking. His piece " Going Home " will be played at my funeral. Mark is a "lefty" but playing with Chet makes him a great. He should've been a CGP but Chet's sister put that on hold. Greatest musician , on guitar, alive today. So many styles he plays so well. Many moving pieces Lee as you've mentioned ( but I don't think the 58 Les Paul is HIS sound). Cheers from downunder.
I just saw a youtube video of Knopfler talking about guitars, and he uses a pedal for volume at one point to make the guitar sound more like a string instrument like a violin. Quite amazing.
This was an absolutely fantastic video to watch - highly entertaining and informative while fun throughout. Excellent presentation - especially with the additional inset overlay view of exactly which pedal - and levels as The Captain changed them in real time - fantastic job as always from the Anderton’s media team, Dave and The Captain. Thanks so much!
Knopflers strat was bought in a different colour, but he had it painted red. The colour is not fiesta red. It is a special colour called hot rod red. The reason Mark wanted his guitar red, was because Hank Marvin was an inspiration to him.
Also, don’t forget that the TC Hypergravity is TonePrint enabled, so you can program it to sound many different ways. I own one and there is a TonePrint that is pretty close to the orange squeezer sound.
Can Dave please start doing sounds like episodes?? He really is great at capturing the vibe of other guitar players. Bea seems to struggle as he is always doing original bands and songwriting. Dave might also do that, I am not sure, but he has a better knack for doing covers.
Mark is one of the greats, both in guitar playing and song writing. I'd bet some of the other more modern 'greats' of today have been more than a little inspired by him.
Would absolutely love to see “Can Dave Simpson become Hank Marvin using affordable pedals”. He’s up there as one of the originals, absolute classic tones and variation in multiple songs, would be excellent to see what pedals could be used to achieve Hanks iconic sound. 🔥 50’s classic vibe fiesta red would be ideal as well.
They all sound great to be honest, but I like the Blues Driver and the Vintage Tube Overdrive the best. Sweat Cream gets a double thumbs up but it's a little too dark for my tastes. I didn't expect the Fender Squire to sound that nice. Surprisingly good tone for a "cheap guitar". Well done guys! I'm also including all the manufacturers in that "well done" comment. Good stuff.
Mark Knopfler uses ONE overdrive pedal after his compressor, primarily: Crowther’s Hot Cake. I’ve a clone, and I can’t describe how much I love it, in front of a Vox AC30TB or a Fender tweed.
Romeo and Juliet is not played on standard tuning . The guitar is tuned to a full B flat chord , which is why most attempts at replication are not quite right as they are usually using standard tuning and struggling a bit.
The only complaint I have is Dave was playing the third note of brothers in arms a half step too high😂 he was jumping up a full step when the original was only a half step up. other than that, great sound, great playing, and always love Dave being around!
I have found a touch of phase after the wah helped to get the “mic pointing at the floor” accident which reputedly happened during the recording, which they were never able to recapture.
From looking at videos, what I see is: Brothers in Arms: Stratocaster (Les Paul live at Wembley) Money for Nothing: Les Paul Romeo & Juliette: Resonator Walk of Life: Telecaster So far away: Stratocaster Sultan of Swing: Stratocaster Why worry?: Stratocaster Private investigations: Spanish acoustic Carousel Waltz: Stratocaster Tunnel of Love: Stratocaster Solid Rock: Telecaster The man's too strong: Resonator

..with some remaining skerricks of gravy on the tray too for added tone 😂
Aye, hes the guitar equivalent of McGuyver

Simple. When they have Dave I watch. 🎸
I'm mainly been a calm & relaxed guy but by looking this (great) video I got the feeling that Dave has the skill to make me nervous
I own a sweet cream and it’s s an amazing pedal bit have to agree the Blues driver definitely had that one. Got my vote. Great video guys.
Sweet cream is amazing, please try Sweet cream into Nobleman (also Tone City), fattens the sound to ultra creamy:-)
Great video. Wish Dave would’ve used the LP for BiA, but brilliant anyway.

Why not just get an MXR Dyna Comp compressor? Those are relatively cheap at £79 and very musical sounding
Gibson Les Paul for Brothers in Arms - definitely NOT a Strat :( Nice playing Dave- you are a legend fella :)
Yay, a mention for the Hot Cake! 😁😉 Anderton's should let Dave demo one for his channel if they stock them! Great playing and tones there of course.
What a great way to spend 30 minutes of my life...Dave Simpson = essential viewing...!!..🎸🎸👌🎸🎸
Romeo and Juliet is not played on standard tuning . The guitar is tuned to a full B flat chord , which is why most attempts at replication are not quite right as they are usually using standard tuning and struggling a bit.
Funny I thought of suggesting Dave plays like Mark Knopfler, this morning. Spooky and thank you.
The only complaint I have is Dave was playing the third note of brothers in arms a half step too high😂 he was jumping up a full step when the original was only a half step up. other than that, great sound, great playing, and always love Dave being around!
Great as always. Could I suggest Robin Trower? He’s still going strong - and is well known for his pedal use.
Dave Simpson can make anything sound good. I only subscribed to this channel when you got Dave on it.👍

This one is going to be a tall order, Knopfler has one of the most unique styles out there with his claw hammer finger picking.
entertaining and informative, I had no idea Mark Knopfler did movie scores
Hmm - Mark Kopfler playing ultra clean with beautiful sustain - I think the sustaining aspects of compression were pretty central to his tone
I call the Blues Driver the "make everything sound better pedal".
it really is, and despite the fact there might be over a million of them - still underrated!
That was really enjoyable! Great video
I have found a touch of phase after the wah helped to get the “mic pointing at the floor” accident which reputedly happened during the recording, which they were never able to recapture.
Awesome as always. Perfection. Nice work Guys very cool video, with heaps of options. Cheers
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks guys!
From looking at videos, what I see is:
Brothers in Arms: Stratocaster (Les Paul live at Wembley)
