It always impressed me how clean it was and is still considered Rock and Roll. Pretty much almost a natural guitar tone with no effects and a good strat will get u there.
Marty should be inducted to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The breakdowns in all the songs are great and help old guitar players get playing better and enjoying music again. Thanks Marty!!
He really should. He knows how every player actually plays the tune, a literal living encyclopedia of Rock, and his contributions to Music Education are nothing less than godlike.
You are one of the best guitar youtube channels, you can break down any song that sounds challenging and make it easy to learn, i have used your videos to learn countless songs, thankyou
Great lesson, down to the point and very well displayed. Others spend too much time describing note by note and makes it very difficult to follow. Thanks
Starting to learn to play guitar. Will definitely be using both of your channels to learn. Would like to see you do a lesson for Blue on Black sometime in the future. Thank you for what you do Marty.
Thank you very much for this lesson, Marty. I'm in my late 40's and started learning guitar a couple of years ago. It's been a bit slow going and this song is one I've really wanted to learn. Thanks again.
Out of all the people who put out guitar videos, you're the one who gets closest to sounding like Mark Knopfler when you're playing. I'm very much impressed.
Marty just played the song plain anf simple he left out all of the details for example the rakes he was explaining. and also kopfler played with fingers not a pick and he amde it look easy (it is not)
Thank you very much for this lesson!!!!! This song is my very favorite song when i heard it for the very first time back to the 80's i wanted to be a guitarist and because of this sound of Mark Knopfler i descover rock music !!!! I try so many times by my own, to finger out the chords but always something missing . I try many video lessons time to time... but i am not satisfied but you Mr. Marty Music you are the best !!!! Thank you again !!!! Respect !!!!
There is so much going on in this song but my favorite is the little lick at 8:20. There is something about the grove and clean guitar tone of this track that captivates people.
Marty! You should have a "merch" section of your website. If you sold a shirt with a picture of your face on it like the Heisenberg shirts from Breaking Bad, I'd totally buy it.
Thank you a million Marty, I’ve followed you for about a decade now and this is my late uncles favorite song. I’m learning it for him and I know you’d have a lesson on it.
Its amazing to me how I just got my guitar last year, thinking I'd never get to a point where I could play a song like this, and now because of this beautiful man I'm about halfway to nailing this song!!! thank you so much Marty
Awesome song, I've been wanting to learn this for a while now, but was intimidated by the solos! Request: Lyin' Eyes by the Eagles (I know the chords, but would love it if you could show us how to incorporate the various licks present throughout the song)
I just noticed I wasn't already subscribed to your channel, Marty. I quickly corrected that previous mistake. You call Mark "The Master" and he is surely one. But so are you!
Thank you Marty! You are awesome! I really appreciate all you’ve taught me. Your teaching style is second to none! I’ve learned more from you in the last two weeks than I was able to learn from a teacher that I paid hundreds of dollars to, for one on one lessons. Love you Man!
Hey Marty! Just wanted to say great job and thank you for all the videos! You have made learning the guitar a lot of fun, i have just started but after a couple weeks following your videos im already playing with amazing rythm! Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
Its a complex rhythm really, in that it partially imitates flamenco strumming. Beat one: Thumb on the bass string Followed by index finger sliding down the strings vertically. The slide should end on the start of beat 2. On the end of beat 2 the index finger tugs at the strings from top to bottom. on beat three the thumb hits the bass string (or the contrabass string if you wanna embelish the bass section more) and on beat four the middle finger just strums the chord. I hope i described it correctly
I find the easiest way is to listen to the song, really know the song, hear it and feel it until it comes naturally, beats trying to follow all the up down down up chucka stuff.
@@4stevio If it works for you, stick at it. For me Ive found I learn better when I combine my natural feeling and understanding of a song (technically speaking) with some kind of accurate articulation of the technique. Just to make sure I dont miss stuff.
Please make a video for the song Wheel of Life by Samsara Blues Experiment, It's a simple song but I'm a beginner and I can't pick it up on my own. It's a very cool song too.
Your the reason I stopped smashing guitars up in frustration and actually tried learning it at my own pace !! Thank you for that ! thanks for the videos you post there a great help for people like myself ! Your a legend in my eyes , up there with the likes of slow hand and sunga jung ! keep doing what you do marty !!
I expected this to be impossible for me to play but you explained everything so well and somehow made a song by the master Mark Knopfler seem somewhat easy to play. Great job! I just subscribed!
Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! You are my favorite Guitar Teacher! I have two different requests. One could you start putting the strumming patterns in either the video or in your comments? On some of your videos I have trouble following the proper strumming pattern. As far as my other request, do you think you could do a few Dave Matthews Band tutorials? I am a giant fan of Dave Matthews and would love to see honestly any of his songs but I'd love to see some of his songs from "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," 'Jimi thing' from "Under the Table and Dreaming" or really just any of his songs popular or not. Thank you again for these amazing tutorials! They are absolutely fantastic! You are a Great Teacher!
Another great lesson, Marty! And again, you teach me more in 10 mins than watching an 2 hours else where. I love your new channel,s format. Much more open and informative across the whole musical spectrum. You're one hard working dude! Thank you! Thank you!!
Man! You literally took a song that sounded nightmarishly difficult, and you made that seem like a piece of cake!! Great job. P.S, some little request. What about making Deep Purple tutorials. Ritchie Blackmore is a great guitarist, inspiration for many generations of musicians. Songs like Soldier Of Fortune, are great for practicing chords. Specially for beginners, because it's easy, sort, but with lots of chords.
Great Inspiration and tasty tasty tone. The double stop tip is so solid. I kept using your lesson to try and improvise a solo over. I'm so into this right now. Can't wait for part two ! Marty you are THE MAN. break a leg at sxsw!
Thanks for the vid. Have been playing for 3 years now and I could play it as you taught it in real time with your explanations. Just keep naming notes and chords for us - great - then easy to find if we get stuck. Of course, nowhere near natural like you - but just getting through it is like a major epiphany /revelation.
I learned this song from a book years ago. What I played sounded ok, but nothing like the record. I developed my own rhythm for playing this which sounds ok, but I can't seem to get the rhythm that you are playing. It is really cool that now after watching this I am finally working out how to do the fill in parts. However I have a long way to go before I sound as good as you. Thanks
Hi Marty!!! Me here! :) There are manny good guitar tutorials and "online" teachers how ever since I started learning from online Videos you are somehow the most confortable to learn with, thank you for that... Hopfully some cool band pick you-up like Bon Jovi had picked up Phil X from RUclips :))))) (I know they did not pick him actually like that but its funny and the "hope dies last" :)))) )
Pretty nice how you got the sound, but I just watched a video and he was talking about this song and some of the way he bent multiple strings to get the sounds he wanted. Truly amazing.

Marty Music hey marty you should make a video on irish folk licks for paddy's for me and my fellow irishmen :)
plz.do come and get your love by Redbone
Marty Music please do victoria by john mayer
is that a Blue Man Group Pick you're using? looks familiar.
hey Marty why don't you do full songs instead of doing just tutorials
Check out guitar Marty ... he knows all the chords.
ha
He's got a youtube job he's doing alright
Competition on other channels
When he gets up behind the camera to play his thing
And marty doesn't mind, if he doesn't fuck the queen
Yash You missed a major chance there! “Check out guitar Schwartz, he knows all the chords!"
All that and a clean tone guitar, true masters of the craft.
It always impressed me how clean it was and is still considered Rock and Roll. Pretty much almost a natural guitar tone with no effects and a good strat will get u there.

mark knopfler the true master of guitar..made to look easy by mr Schwartz.
it must be cool being able to play anything..nice one.
True! I uploaded a cover of this about a month ago. Not as good as this though haha.
Yeah hard song to play
Yeah it is
Made to look easy anyway
As a beginner, I find the facility of changing chords or even switching between strumming and picking quite impressive. Thank you for simplifying it!
The greatest song of all time (my opinion)
Don't worry, opinions are allowed, if someone says no it's not and demands that their favourite is fact then they just have no balls.
I mean you do support Liverpool
Liverpool are shit
@@SQUIRRELGUY3ybENrT lol world champions.
Ofc one of the most greatest songs in the history👌
Marty playing the a chord with just his ring finger is a massive big finger flex
Oh I've been waiting for this one brace yourselves fingers
oh wait, i can't barre for shit
practise
Use strings with less tension like Martin Marquis - Less volume but much easier to hold down.
graphicism thanks for the advice ! I'll try it out !
The Martin Marquis seem only to come in the acoustic guitar style--or are they the same for electric guitars?
You are one of the best guitar youtube channels, you can break down any song that sounds challenging and make it easy to learn, i have used your videos to learn countless songs, thankyou
Marty when I started guitar I was struggling on how to even strum. But now when I have watched most of your lessons I know much more... Thanks!
old 60s guitarist, interested in learning a few....know most of the right hand tricks...damping, strumming......you are the BEST on internet!
Great lesson, down to the point and very well displayed. Others spend too much time describing note by note and makes it very difficult to follow. Thanks
When you’re on a long road trip with no guitar so you start teaching yourself a song alongside Marty with your neat Air Fender Guitar
Air guitar is always in tune and every chord is perfect
Yes that is why air guitar is great.
Exactly what I’m doing right know 😂
I do this all the time with his videos 😂
Thank you Marty for this lesson! I'm looking forward to the lead-guitar lesson! Please make more lessons of songs from Dire Straits!!!
Not a guitar player, drummer, but I just stopped by to appreciate the breakdown. I frequently drum to this song and obviously love the guitar.
It's so simple if u know all your chords ,yet so masterful and beautiful
I hope that more Dire Straits come.
super stoked for the solo lesson
Me too. I'm not sure if I played it correctly in the cover that I uploaded...
I learned more in 15 minutes with this video than all of the videos I've ever used to learn on RUclips!
Starting to learn to play guitar. Will definitely be using both of your channels to learn. Would like to see you do a lesson for Blue on Black sometime in the future. Thank you for what you do Marty.
I’ve learnt a few songs from this guy and I’ve gone further with my guitar learning than ever before. Thank you Marty. From j
Thank you very much for this lesson, Marty. I'm in my late 40's and started learning guitar a couple of years ago. It's been a bit slow going and this song is one I've really wanted to learn. Thanks again.
Out of all the people who put out guitar videos, you're the one who gets closest to sounding like Mark Knopfler when you're playing. I'm very much impressed.
Wow I Didn't realize how easy this song is to play! Fantastic lesson . Thx again Marty!
Thank you for supporting!
Luminous White sure, easy until the solo
Marty just played the song plain anf simple he left out all of the details for example the rakes he was explaining. and also kopfler played with fingers not a pick and he amde it look easy (it is not)
Marty makes it look easy! A good teacher and player is as rare as a Clapton. Thanks for the good stuff Marty!
I wish he put a picture up of the chords as he says them, I'd be nice as a little refresher sometimes! Love ya Marty, this is badass!!!!!!!
I gotta say it brother!.....been waiting for a long time for this one, along with everybody else....awesome!.....always supporting you!
I've been trying to learn this for like 2 years and only just got it, marty on the other hand is playing it as easy as writing his name
Thank you very much for this lesson!!!!! This song is my very favorite song when i heard it for the very first time back to the 80's i wanted to be a guitarist and because of this sound of Mark Knopfler i descover rock music !!!! I try so many times by my own, to finger out the chords but always something missing . I try many video lessons time to time... but i am not satisfied but you Mr. Marty Music you are the best !!!! Thank you again !!!! Respect !!!!
best teacher on youtube, always very thorough in his explanation and doesnt rush.AAAAA
Thank you Marty, I love how great a teacher you are and how your content never has drops in quality

Thanks!!!
Yes!!! I would totally buy it! caption it "Bending Bad" Rock on Marty!
"Bending Bad" hahaha!
Bending bad 😂😂😂
Thats awesome
This style of playing guitar is by far the best in my book
Just been practicing this on my acoustic. When Iv got it down il set up my electric guitar and pedal box. Great lesson again!
Thank you a million Marty, I’ve followed you for about a decade now and this is my late uncles favorite song. I’m learning it for him and I know you’d have a lesson on it.
Don't take for granted that we can play those cords without you showing them to us
The adding your pinkie to the 6th fret of the B string while playing a barred C major is gonna take some work!
Yeaaaaah!!!! So long waited for this! More Knopfler!! Thanks Marty
Its amazing to me how I just got my guitar last year, thinking I'd never get to a point where I could play a song like this, and now because of this beautiful man I'm about halfway to nailing this song!!! thank you so much Marty

No new comments? Seems like everybody already learnt how to play it. I’m the last one then. Great tutorial.
your not the only one
@@rarted2541 definitely not
Marty really is the only online guitar teacher that actually works.
Thank God for music!
I just noticed I wasn't already subscribed to your channel, Marty. I quickly corrected that previous mistake. You call Mark "The Master" and he is surely one. But so are you!
hey Marty would you be able to do a lesson om brothers in arms? thanks, love this lesson!!!
Marty you're too good, you make this look so easy.
Awesome stuff, but will you finish comfortably numb with the ending solo ?
Marty - your loyal posse rides with you. Your marty music is better than ever. U work buddy - keep it up
All time classic! Thank you so much marty for the continued lessons on RUclips. Simply Amazing!!
Thanks Jimmy! I really appreciate the feedback and of course you supporting me HERE with "MartyMusic"

Hey Marty! Just wanted to say great job and thank you for all the videos! You have made learning the guitar a lot of fun, i have just started but after a couple weeks following your videos im already playing with amazing rythm! Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Jay!!! I really appreciate the feedback and of course you supporting me HERE with "MartyMusic"
thanks a lot . i'm a beginer playing guitar and this lesson is perfect for me //// greetings from Peru ////
Mate, you're putting the swing back in my sultanas!
ha ha thanks Byron!
Dude when I first saw you months ago I didn’t think much. It is amazing how good you are I love jammin with you keep it up
Can someone break down the rythim pattern, im having a bit of a hard time getting the right hand to work
up, down, up, down(mute)

Bwahahhaha 7:10, the "scissors" part had me xD
He knows all the chords
its important to mention that knopfler isnt using a pick so it doesnt sound the same and when you fingerpick it sounds right. but great video marty
Please make a video for the song Wheel of Life by Samsara Blues Experiment, It's a simple song but I'm a beginner and I can't pick it up on my own. It's a very cool song too.
I just discovered this song now... I'm in love and I cannot believe that I hadn't found this song earlier!
yeeeeah!!! ROCK ON MARTY!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SOOOOO LONG!!😆😆😆
Thanks so much for this..... You're the man. If you ever get to Dublin, Ireland, I owe you a Guinness.
Maybe one day!
5:30 (time stamp to continue tomorrow)
your playing is constantly improving not technically but in the sense of the universal shakti felt through the subtle sound waves of your playing
I really appreciate the feedback and of course you supporting me HERE with "MartyMusic" Zorbatheok
Hey Marty, you are my énergie for play guitar ! tanks for that ! I am french, but the feeling go on !
Your the reason I stopped smashing guitars up in frustration and actually tried learning it at my own pace !! Thank you for that ! thanks for the videos you post there a great help for people like myself ! Your a legend in my eyes , up there with the likes of slow hand and sunga jung ! keep doing what you do marty !!
Yo Marty it's "Straits" not "Straights" in the thumbnail bro. Good video anyway.
I know that's the one thing I forgot to change from an "autocorrect"
AutoCorrect is my worst enema. It makes me say things but I didn't Nintendo.
W. David Ferrell Now that's funny
I expected this to be impossible for me to play but you explained everything so well and somehow made a song by the master Mark Knopfler seem somewhat easy to play. Great job! I just subscribed!
Everytime I see your videos I remember the fact that my dad almost named me Marty instead of Ted
Marty with you things that seem nearly impossible become real.
No marty - impossible/not for me yet
Marty - I’ll do it yeah!
This song doesn't require using a pick, if you use a pick it doesn't sound the same
MadaMixNoSerious it does
MadaMixNoSerious Agreed. Knophler never does.
but in fact the rythm guitar was played by David Knopfler with pick...
Yes
Big time, have had to use a pick here and there though in the past on acoustic in a loud environment :)
May the power of the Schwartz be with you!
Playing this with a pick is blasphemy
TheRagingMan I can’t find your version anywhere.
playing fingerstyle is alchemy
@@jacobkenney6892 its up ya own ass!
Contre Marfia you’re right. I found it.
@@jacobkenney6892 chea batta
so glad you have your own channel. been waiting years to subscribe to a channel exclusively supporting just you
Well that is very kind of you. "MartyMusic" is indeed all mine and I'm very grateful for your support. It was scary starting over.
You said "upchuck..." hehehe
yaaaaaaas what a tune
Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! You are my favorite Guitar Teacher! I have two different requests.

Isn't it sad that Marty will never love this comment?
Aidan Patman-Clark tried
Probably more sad that you made that post hoping he would like it out of sympathy.
Still watching you all these years thank you man you helped us a lot
Marty could you do a lesson on starry night by joe satriani
Great video, love the masterful handling, the dire instruction, the straitful swing. The fun comments 🎯🎵🎵🎵
Do the solo on sultans of swing marty!! Please you have to
Another great lesson, Marty! And again, you teach me more in 10 mins than watching an 2 hours else where. I love your new channel,s format. Much more open and informative across the whole musical spectrum. You're one hard working dude!
Thank you! Thank you!!
Great tutorial even though I don't know when to mute, down-stroke or up-stroke and it's killing me...
Im 3 years late but in this vid he does up down up mute(down) repeat
Man! You literally took a song that sounded nightmarishly difficult, and you made that seem like a piece of cake!! Great job.
P.S, some little request. What about making Deep Purple tutorials. Ritchie Blackmore is a great guitarist, inspiration for many generations of musicians. Songs like Soldier Of Fortune, are great for practicing chords. Specially for beginners, because it's easy, sort, but with lots of chords.
Great Inspiration and tasty tasty tone. The double stop tip is so solid. I kept using your lesson to try and improvise a solo over. I'm so into this right now. Can't wait for part two !
Marty you are THE MAN. break a leg at sxsw!
thanks Rick!!!
Thanks for the vid. Have been playing for 3 years now and I could play it as you taught it in real time with your explanations. Just keep naming notes and chords for us - great - then easy to find if we get stuck. Of course, nowhere near natural like you - but just getting through it is like a major epiphany /revelation.
Knopfler is a very underrated guitarist.
Sondre underrated by who?
He actually was on the cover of Times & another as the best guitarist for whatever year that was
since when? the man is a legend.
I learned this song from a book years ago. What I played sounded ok, but nothing like the record. I developed my own rhythm for playing this which sounds ok, but I can't seem to get the rhythm that you are playing. It is really cool that now after watching this I am finally working out how to do the fill in parts. However I have a long way to go before I sound as good as you. Thanks

Thank you for the kind words!!!
Marty Music thank you for taking time and answer. please be gentle with the solo part, so that we "mortal" people can play it to ☺
+Marty Music hw
Pretty nice how you got the sound, but I just watched a video and he was talking about this song and some of the way he bent multiple strings to get the sounds he wanted. Truly amazing.
Can you cover the solo for this?
Marty the best teacher ,number one,appreciate so much
Could we get cats in the cradle maybe?
Appreciate this one - made it nice and accessible without dumbing it down too much.
oww yeeaaaa
Thanks for showing this song marty
I grew up in the 70's listening to this song,can't wait for the solo, keep up the good work
Dude teach us rock and roll ain't noise pollution AC/DC
