    Very nicely done, with strong emotion in the tone and fluid phrasing that brings out the melancholy quality of MK's original. Remember, folks, it's one thing to copy a guitarist's licks and quite another to create them in the first place. But a legitimately faithful and soulful cover version is to be respected.

    The best Knopfler copy I have ever heard. You captured his sound, style, phrasing, touch, groove, feel etc. 100% 👍👍👍

      @@superpieton So what's your point? That the people you mention have superior covers or recreations of the Knopfler guitar sound? Make an argument instead of a drive-by snark.
