  • My tribute to Mark Knopfler: Tunnel of Love. Watch my other tributes to MK here: / @markknopflertribute . I'm an amateur musician who likes the sound of Mark Knopfler's guitar playing.

    You rock sir. I remember being a kid. Dad loved Dire Straits and he would wake us all up on sundays playing "Making movies" I used to get so worked up!. He died in 2010 of cancer. I still love Dire Straits and Knopfler. Now days me and my wife use your songs as Karaoke. those times I still get worked up, think about dad and think of the old days. thanks dude.

    I had looked forward to 'Making Movies' coming out and initially the stand out track was 'Romeo and Juliet' but oh man after a couple of listens 'The Tunnel of Love' just blew me away.
    The imagery of the verses actually put me in a fairground and then the solo at the end, oh yeah...the solo at the end, starting so slowly and gradually building and climbing, almost unbearably understated, melodic and sweet, .......tempo gradually increasing and backing in full swing. Speeding now excitedly toward some uncertain horizon , every glassy fender toned note sweetly overwhelming the senses. And finally the top, the crescendo, the glorious summit is reached so so briefly before being followed by the tumble back down again Knopflers guitar mixed with piano to gradual fade.
    I would be left with my heart pumping and eyes wide like i'd had an amazing experience. I had to listen to that song 100 times in the first couple of days after i bought it just to try and take in what to me was the closest thing to musical perfection. I had to listen to it again...again and again to try and understand why it made me feel this way. And still, today, some 30-odd years later it can still move me almost to tears as the solo resolves itself at the very top of that wonderful glorious crescendo.
    So glad you put this up man. I've been playing bits of this i've learned over the years and now thanks to you filming yourself playing it it i can actually replicate something similar. Priceless.

    I'm impressed Bravo! It's hard to play and you have done the whole rendition. I enjoyed it and i know how hard it can be to play. I don't know about you but i find it to be one of those pieces that if your playing from memory, can start repeating phrases in the solos that have already been played, i'm sure you can understand what i mean? It's easier with the Tab. Great stuff though i wish i had the patients and probably skill to do something like this.
