#soundlike #MarkKnopfler #withoutbustingthebank
It sounds cliche to say that tone is in the fingers, but when it comes to Knopfler, it's 99% true.
Well it is for him more than others because of his picking style and just overall hand-skill.
He really one of the tiny handful of players that this is actually true of - Knopfler and Beck!
Is it only me who prefers when they go round the store?
No
I do
Yes just you
im the same
me to
How to sound like Mark Knopfler
Step 1. Be Mark Knopfler
Step 2. There is no step 2
That being said, you guys did a pretty amazing job
Thats why is so great.
3. Be me.
So true!
I heard some guitaristS that proved you wrong.
He didn't work in the shop... he was visiting the shop, in New York, and overheard one of the staff watching MTV and saying those iconic lines. He tells the tale on a Parkinson's interview...
I love the irony. Guy griping about rockstar making money. Behind him, is a rockstar, writing down his gripings, to make one of the most iconic rock songs ever. Which will no doubt be playing on those same tvs later that year, and he will probably be saying the same things about the song written with his lyrics.
yeah, what he said
@@powdermnky007, aye, you couldn't make it up.
Mark Knopfler is THE reason I picked up the guitar as a kid, and even now in my 30's still makes me want to work even harder on my finger picking technique, still prefer a plectrum. Love the video guys.
thanks for the comments guys! this was one of the hardest sounds likes to do. very challenging!!! MORE TO COME SOON!!!!
+Rabea Massaad the tone was pretty spot on...well done!
Sound like The Edge... good luck
+Rabea Massaad Sound like Sleep
+Rabea Massaad Sound like Fast Eddie Clarke.
+Rabea Massaad
That was truly spot on, sounded great and indeed for a fair price :)
Now, can I give suggestions three truly hard ones if I may:
Alex Lifeson from Rush (Can do Geddy too, his sound should be slightly easier)
Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and oh, so many other projects
Adam Jones from Tool
These should be a right proper challenge for ye lads, eh?
He didn't work in the store, he was in a store in New York and heard some loudmouth shooting off about things on TV.
The signature Fender had Texas Specials.
He did use a Les Paul on Brothers in Arms and Money for Nothing in the studio.
+Genetic_Drifter So he owned a store in York and shot some guy stealing a TV?
He said there was a rack of TVs showing MTV, hence the lyrics like," that ain't working..." and " what's that, Hawaiian noises..." etc
He was talking about Richard Branson actually
Another video to prove that Knopfler's sound is the most underrated in the world. People start thinking it's easy. Then they start thinking it's possible to replicate it easily. Then they record a video to say they have succeeded. And then they fail so miserably that they realise the only easy thing about the whole process is that: to fail.
Ok. Dont shoot me but i just heard money from nothing like last year. AND OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING. LIKE HOLY SHIT THAT OPENING RIFF IS GOD LIKE.
Sound like Gary Moore!!!
+Joe Jenkins Hell yes, sound like Gary Moore!!
+Joe Jenkins yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh that's a must
+Joe Jenkins get a gibson les paul, play like god.
that's it XD hahahahahaha
+Joe Jenkins Bea/Matt please do Moore
Yesssss
I miss the bit where you guys walked round the shop choosing equipment
Yeahh
Can you do L'il Wayne?
daniels8790 Yup, that was why I asked.
Every song on the first Dire Straits album is a winner. Water of Love is my favorite song by them.
If my parents told me that's how I reacted to Dire Straits and in particular the guitar solos, I would absolutely style my guitar technique after the great Mark Knopfler. There's clearly a natural connection. Pretty cool.
Didn't he play money for nothing on a Gibson Les Paul?
he did
Yeah that's what was the only thing wrong with this one I think. The money for nothing tone was over driven and no tone on the guitar, I think adding wah wahs just overcomplicates it
Didn't he use the Pensa Suhr for it?
He got that a few years after Brothers in Arms was released. He used it live when it was in his setlist.
Yes, on the recording its a 59 Les Paul, and the Wah is close to the treble(!) not with the tone rolled off. If it gets too sharp, they ougtha roll the tone off on the guitar instead.
Please do a Sound like Jimmy Page!! Pleeeeaaase :D
All the yes
+Yannik Hofmann yes please..... but the 72 era before heroin and the 14yo girlfriend....
+tvi82 who cares? I mean that doesn't influence him as a musician
+Yannik Hofmann actually it did...
+Yannik Hofmann Tele into fuzz into old tube amp
Well... this just proves that I will never be able to sound like Mark Knopfler no matter what I spend lol I give you a lot of credit for trying the harder stuff, like Brothers in Arms (deceptively not simple to play. He put a lot of feeling in that one)
Michael Lloyd tone comes from the hand and learning his phrasing. Mark has such amazing dynamics. I have been studying his style for years. I can get his Les Paul tone on a Roland cube for brothers in arms and money for nothing I can get his assault and sound with the same set up it's all about adjusting tone knobs and feeling the song
Adam Jones Please!
+Rodrigo Díaz yes yes
Yes
+David Oakes bank broken. missed the point bud. where's the video?
+Sergey Tarkhanov lol. without breaking the bank? you could buy a small country for the price of a Diezel
+Sergey Tarkhanov the more comments the better chance we see it from the guys.
So happy that you finally did one on Mark Knopfler!!! Thanks dudes. 😃😃😊😊😉😉
BB King would be challenging. I like this format/premise/theme, and enjoyed you guys and your apparent rapoire. Keep them coming.
+Randall Parker Already done, check their page!
Sound like Dan Auerbach of the black keys please!!!
Find a weird 60s guitar on reverb.com, and get an old low wattage amp
+Nick Haakman well I don't really care how to get the tone I just like watching them do it
absolutely, I'd love that
+will schaumann they did it already
Why? Want that sound? Throw some broken glass into a garbage disposal.
Money For Nothing was from a rant Mark Knopfler heard a guy say in an American department store whilst watching MTV. Mark Knopfler is so good he even wrote a song called "Why Aye Man" which was about the formative idea of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. It even features Tim Healy, Jimmy Nail, and Kevin Whately randomly shouting "Why Aye Man" at the top of their voices
Sounds like Mark Knopfler by Busting the Bank!
Fender amp, a strat and a fuzz pedal, boom knopflers rig, you do have to choose expensive things though.
Good amp choice and thanks for the video. Mark Knopfler actually did a concert using 2 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe's. The tone was unbelievable as always with Mark Knopfler no matter what the amp.
You should do a Robby Krieger sounds like
Would love to see a 'sound like *insert death metal band here* without busting the bank' or so but I guess that's not entirely up your alley. Maybe a 'how to djent without busting the bank'? At least that would sell in today's market :D
EVH, Billy Gibbons, Steve Vai, Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Rob Flynn (Machine Head), Doug Aldrich, St. Vincent, Mastodon, Chris Isaak and Hershel Yatovitz, Tony Iommi, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Frank Marino, Green Day, Guns N Roses, and Allan Holdsworth
That should keep you busy
+Nick Scott They did Mastodon! :)
I miss when you guys walked through Anderton's to get the gear. Great job though! Its been a while since my last Mark Knopfler binge so I'm going to do that now.
I'd love to see Rabea pull off that dumb riff from Electric Wizard- Dopethrone. SUPER bassy and insane. Otherwise, sounds like Steve Howe? I just want to see Rabea pull off some of his licks and solos... And if I was president of the universe, I'd make Toska cover some Yes.
Looks like we have the same dreams then. Toska and Yes are two of my favourite bands.
I read he plugged into David Gilmour's rig once and David was worried that he would sound like him, but when he played it just sounded like Mark. So I guess a tonne of it is in the fingers.
The source for Money for Nothing wasn't someone he met at work when he was young -- MTV was only founded in 1981. It was some "meathead", as he called him, in a shop some time in the 80s. The song was recorded on a Les Paul, not a Strat and the rhythm parts on Sultans (5:18) and all the songs on the first two albums were by his brother, David Knopfler.
Gotta hand it to you guys, takes stones to even try sounding like Knopfler. Always cited as one of my top five favorite guitarists. This was a fun one =)
You guys are great..
Good tone. really enjoyed that.
Knopfler is a bit of a god.
Thank you,!You guys Soo Rock!..Mark Knoplfer got me to Slow down and Listen to 'FEEL'..instead of a thousand thoughtless notes a minute.. that the 80's was pandemic of..True story ..Mark was asked back then why he didnt play Fast like everyone else?..he replied.."Well Because I can't really"....So honest..so glad he wrote and played the Coolest and Thought Provoking Timeless Songs we Still Love Today!..Thanks again Rabea and Matt!!:) Peace!..
Anyone else miss the running around the shop looking for gear part ? Always thought of it as a big part of the fun on these videos.
In 2000, Knopfler appeared on Michael Parkinson's interview program and explained again where the lyrics originated. According to Knopfler, he was in New York and stopped by an appliance store. At the back of the store, they had a wall of TVs which were all tuned to MTV. Knopfler said there was a man working there dressed in a baseball cap, work boots, and a checkered shirt delivering boxes who was standing next to him watching. As they were standing there watching MTV, Knopfler remembers the man coming up with lines such as "what are those, Hawaiian noises?...that ain't workin'," etc. Knopfler asked for a pen to write some of these lines down and then eventually put those words to music.Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, in misinterpreting the lyrics as coming directly from Dire Straits rather than a character based on a store employee, claimed that the song was about his band, and that the members of Dire Straits were in an electronics store where a row of TVs were all playing Mötley Crüe.[7]The songwriting credits are shared between Mark Knopfler and Sting.[8] Sting was visiting Montserrat during the recording of the song, and was invited to add some background vocals. Sting has stated that his only compositional contribution was the "I want my MTV" line, which followed the melody from his song "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
Karnivool should be next since they rely on many different pedals. I feel like it would be a good challenge
yep, would like to see that aswell !
Maybe they could do the bass tone too :O
Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster had Fender Texas Special pickups in it, same pickups chosen by Stevie Ray Vaughn for his signature model, definitely two tone masters!! That's why I chose Texas Specials for my Stratocaster
holy crap! they're back already?! that musta been one wicked fast plane! xD
one of the most unique guitarist ever and most original lyrics
Please do a Sound Like Alex Lifeson, a Rush themed episode would rock!!!!
Hardcore Knopfler fan!!! Thanks for doing this!!! Communique is an awesome album that you should check out if you have not already :)
Sound like Devin Townsend!
+adam humphreys Yes!!
+adam humphreys Life and Kingdom played by Rabea... OH YEAH!
+Chris B and deadhead
+adam humphreys soooo hardddd
even the mighty masaaad struggles with the might of the knopfler riff, still far better than I could ever do hahaha
I challenge you guys!!! sound like The Edge without busting the bank.. :p
+AKash Ghosh Just buy a delay pedal? :-)
+Michiel1972 that would be sound like the Edge of the 80's but I realized... thier music is not confined to one niche. But he is still known for the Delay. Thanks buddy!
He wasn't working in the store. He was customer in an electrical store in New York and one of the employees was moaning about the musicians on mtv being shown in store
Do a sounds like for EVH. Early VH1 "Brown Sound" tones (Eruption, You Really Got Me, Jamie's Crying etc). I wouldn't mind having a U2/The Edge either.
Congratulations guys, once again this goes to prive how much tone is in the hands of the player, and Bea did a great job coming real close to the legend that Mark is. And a very nice sounding rig overall. Thanks guys !
Hey rabea and Matt, wondering with Mark knopfler doing his final farewell tour now (it's 2019 at time of writing) you could revisit this one as a busting the bank??
Fender Strat and Gibson Les Paul cos i don't think you can get his Suhr MKII
Tone King and Mesa amplifier
Wah
Compressor probably
and Volume Pedal
Much more professional looking without the poorly lit wondering around the store segments. Even though when Radea run up and down by the Ibanez-es it was priceless.
How about a Sound Like Rob Chapman or Rebea Massaud. Lol.
They already have an old video of sound like dorje! Go check it out
+Canadaguitar yeah but its kinda outdated now because dorje sounds a lot more refined in their recent ep than they did on the first one
+Pughhead13 What's the sky nail? Do you mean the ghost fret
+Nathan Butler You could use the same gear, but I think it'd be more fun for them to do it with non chapman and non victory. Plus the kraken isn't exactly budget
Still a bit expensive. I'd say ML3 Modern might be a bit more realistic, especially since they used it quite a bit for the recording of the Catalyst EP. Ghost Fret is awesome, don't get me wrong but I think they could get quite close for just that extra bit cheaper, maybe get an RD1 with that bit left over.
in an interview he said he was in a electronics shop in new york wandering around and there was some fat construction builder on a lunch break watching one of the tvs with his mates in the shop and he was the one who said all the one liners "money for nothing" and stuff like that. Also in the music video there is a cartoon builder sort of character watching a tv who was based on this person.
Do a sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!
one of the hardest guitarists to capture the tone of but Bea definetly pulled it off!
And there was thinking "time to go to bed!"...
still not going round the shop picking the gear. PLEASE BRING THAT BACK!!!
Sound like John Scofield!
+gingataff Yes Please!
gingataff the countless who've tried. Another nail in a coffin.
hav watched all of ya sounds like vids and just wanted to say they are all awsome! to my ears they sound so close its unreal! and hats of to you for the playin, you are one hell of a guitarist \m/...after 25 years of playin guitar I had a stroke 3 years ago loosing my muscle memory and unable to play. I now hav to learn all over again. doh. but people like you inspire me to get back on it again, cheers for that and keep em comming guys :)
Gary Moore!
Very nice Knopfler-esque tones! He has always been one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He can speak volumes with his musical phrases.
If you want to try something very different, how about a 'Sound Like: Steve Howe' (of Yes). He is another of my all-time favorite guitarists.
How about "Sound like John Squire - Without busting the bank"
That would be cool.
Is that you, John?
Janner Pete I never even realised the correlation between my profile pic and my abbreviated name. Haha!
Slayer!! please. I love it when you guys walk around the shop to choose the gear as well, I hope you guys do that again soon.
sound like Queen/Brian May
fantastic effort! I grew up on this stuff. Telegraph Road and Making Movies. I have been in love with that Knopfler sound for 35 years. Now its all La Dispute and Royal Blood....but I'm still here.
Sound like Eric Johnson BY busting the bank!
Mark has his on style very cool and beautiful sound
Please do John Squire 😆
You guys need to watch the little documentary about all his guitars, it's called guitar stories or something like that. 1960 Strat, 1958 Les Paul and then a guy that owned a shop in NYC made a guitar for him. He didn't want to switch guitars on stage so they put the best of both worlds of the Strat and Les Paul together to make the Pensa
+Rabea Massaad Please do a Sounds Like for Snowy White, he can play.
Private Investigations.
Head phones on...
Job done. Best track ever
do a sound like Eric Johnson please cos you mentioned him
that's gonna be a challenge, cos he has signature strats and has used a tele on on song, and also used gibson from time to time as he recorded most of Cliffs of Dover on an ES335 and occasionally used a les paul and in 2006 did Cliffs of Dover on an SG
his amps are black face fenders for his cleans and marshall super leads for the dirt and now he has a dumble head to go with them
pedals looks complicated but it can be broken down like this: two Catalinbread Belle Epoch pedals for a dry and lead delay, a Catalinbread Echo Rec to get an Echoplex sort of sound, an Ibanez T808 for some of the boost, a TC stereo chorus/flanger, an EHX Memory Man which is a staple sound for his delay, his own signature fuzz face by dunlop, a wah pedal which he hardly ever touches and the most essential pedal which is the Tube Driver which gets that violin like sound when paired with the fuzz face
if you can find a good rig that'll sound like him good luck, but it's not gonna be easy
Squier Classic Vibe 50's Stratocaster
Marshall Origin 20
EHX Memory Boy
Ibanez TS Mini
Dunlop Eric Johnson Fuzz Face
Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive MOD
Tone City Tape Machine
Tone City Angel Wing
Sorry Rabea but the story as it goes is that Mark was hanging around NYC back in the early 80's (on a tour cycle or just for pleasure, can't remember that part) and for some reason he was at a furniture shop where he heard a delivery worker in the store going on with those now famous lines used in the song. Yes he did carry around a notebook to write stuff down that struck him so that part is accurate. I've actually heard recite this story on a BBC show.
sounded nothing like knopfler . The signature guitar was a dekota red not fiesta red , the schecter guitars were strat style guitars not the pensa style , pensa guitars were used in the 90s
Stephen Turner The sig is hot rod red.
Stephen Turner He started using Pensa Suhr in the 80s.
yes it did, it sounded so much like knopfler
When you were "a kid and you're parents played Dire Straits, Money For Nothing."....man I feel old now, LOL!
Sound like hank B marvin
Great tone on this one! I would love to see a "by busting the bank" version of this as well
Sounds like Jerry Cantrell please
He went into a home appliance store, and there was a delivery guy at the back watching a wall of TV's tuned to MTV saying those things. He's told that story a hundred times.
The signature model was in Hotrod red, not fiesta. It had texas specials.
The quilt top WAS Pensa, not Schecter. He used Schecter strats too.
Brothers in Arms is on a Les Paul too.
Agree with the people asking about:
Alex Lifeson
EVH,
Billy Gibbons,
Green Day,
Guns N Roses,
You did it again!
Lots and lots of Knopfler tones to get from this rig .... alt least when you are Bea (;-)))
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Yea , Mark Knopfler.. Yea...
Maybe it is easier for someone to fly or to be resurrected than sounds like him.
Makis Tzanis No. I sound exactly the same.
Brothers in Arms, I was just thinking recently how many styles there is on the album, country, rock and even funky stuff, great album. Think I was 11 when my older brother bought it and played it threadbare!
peter green?
Thanks guys. What wonderful tone(s)
Sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You guys are doing some really cool and funny videos! What I'd love to see is a Sound Like KISS from the 70's where you could hear two distinct guitar parts (Detroit Rock City, Strutter, etc)!
sound like dave mustaine plaser
please*
That was a really great tone for almost everything. Great job!
sounds like santana?
The challenge with nailing the Mark Knopfler tone/style is that is style is so unique to him physiologically it's almost impossible to copy. It's more about getting a feel for his style than actually nailing it, but that's a good thing cause it causes you to aborb elements of his style but inadvertently develop your own style
Sound Like Jonny Lang
Sound Like Joe Bonamassa
Sound Like Zakk Wylde
so stoked you guys did this
sound like george harrison
and John Lennon
I found that Mark Knopfler actually uses a Soldano for most things since the 90s... Someone once told me that he was the only one, who gets a clean sound out of one, but I've never played a Soldano, so I don't know how easy or not that is...
Sound like the who/Pete townshend!!!
+Ryley Schade ANYTHING real loud...and just hit it real hard...LOL! Enough distortion to force you to only play 5th chords helps.
How did he just get the harmonic feedback without cranking the amp ridiculously loud.
Sound like J Mascis. :)
My 93 G&L Legacy thru a Twin Reverb gets most of the Making Movies albums tones. Also sounds good when jamming with Alchemy album.
Ok, I'll play the hater for a bit.
Usually I enjoy this videos a lot, but not this time, I am sorry. I think it would require a bit more of homework rather than throwing some inaccurate facts that might lead people to repeat those mistakes.
Brothers in Arms (Amen), was recorded with a Marshall, not a Boggie (same goes for MFN). How dare you, yes dare, to sound like MK without a volume pedal??? Those violin swells??? A LP type guitar would cover MUCH more ground on the songs you picked, even for SOS. For instance, in BIA, he uses the neck pickup with some tone rolled back. Same for MFN but with the wah. Come on guys...
About the Money for Nothing story, there are some twists in there. MK wasn't working there, he was in a appliance store in NY, the MTV just launched, and the employer there was laughing at the videos and making all those comments, luckily, Mark was walking around fridges and washing machines taking his lines. "hey yoyo, thats the way you do it, you play the guitar on the mtv..."
Fun, but way off, IMHO.
Do another one! ;)
Good lord, I was going to make the exact same comment! I'm glad I'm not the only one that seems to really know the Mark Knopfler stuff 😜 Usually they quite nail it, but this time they missed it.
I'm a huge mark knofler fan so much so I sprayed my first squire red🤣 guys you did ok 👍
