Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Cover – Knopfler Guitar Style
My attempt at Brothers In Arms, from the 1985 album by Dire Straits. Played with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, through a Boss volume pedal, into a Boss BR-600 8 track recorder. The recorder is playing the backing track and recording the guitar signal. The line out from the recorder is fed into the video camera. The backing track is available from www.licklibrary.com – the actual page is: www.licklibrary.com Hope you like it. As I say in the vid, it’s not that technically demanding, but you have to be careful with muting inparticular. Something Knopfler seems to do with ease, whereas I still have to think about it! For anyone thats interested, I always play ‘Knopfler Style’ with my fingers. I am *completely* useless with a pick. Recently (since I got the Les Paul) I’ve also grown my finger and thumb nails and changed my style a little to pick with my nails rather than the skin of my fingers. This gives much more ‘attack’. Lack of attack was never a problem with any of my single coil Strat type guitars, but it was an immediate problem as soon as I got the Les Paul, which sounded horribly muddy and muffled. Playing with the fingernails fixed it! I have an MP3 of this (much better sound) if anyone wants a copy, let me know and I’ll tell you where you can download it! All the best Mark.

jaselev1 :
really good mate
ILuvIbanezGuitars :
In the bit just at the beginning, instead of going up ( 6th fret d string, 3rd fret g string, 4th fret g string) it’s supposed to be just a hammer on and pull of on 6th fret and 8th fret of the d string. it is very easy to get it confused with the organ’s note
DJDarci :

He’s 100% correct about learning this on your own being more rewarding, just forgot to mention its 10000000x moreso. You feel so connected to the music it’s mindblowing. FUCK TABS

paulaspinall :
Not too shabby at all mate. I’d be well pleased with that!!
What guitar effects are you using, and what are the settings for that sound?
I have a Boss GT10, but I’m a total novice. Any details of what effects, and settings would be great.
Thanks
Barrellockingnut :
OK You are a great player, tribute to your repllication of this emotional zenith of the sound of the Gibson, but honest question ,, you have sat on your laurels for a very long time now, time to upload another surely, how about Gilmours comfortably numb or The Blue. Dont be offended but you have now 154,000 views, time for another dont you think

steven3433 :
@sawwrose great teacher he probably drinking Jack Daniels and smoking a bit of hash, but still sounds great, I subscribe to his channel and he has got better than this,
steven3433 :
you always have awesome lessons, sound like guns and roses this lesson, I can play well but have problems keeping my rhythm hand in control, I tend to lose and add an extra strum or 2 within the song. xx
faaizshabbir :
hey marty.. u really rock… tht was simply awesome… but i didnt get the 2nd half… still struggling with tht…
Phenom4ever12 :
marty would you recommend buying a telocaster for an amatuer?
m444ss :
I really like Marty’s lessons, but I wish he’d superimpose tab with the 1/4s-1/8s-1/6ths-triplets because his DDDUUUDUDU in 4/4 time seems like 1-3/4 measures??
The2mcool2 :
@krtek4life it is paradise city dah
greenchopper0 :
You rock Marty
bigduke60 :
I love when he says “Marty Schwartz Here”…Cool!
Jiggs224u :
the only reason he’s not using his big guitar is his guitar matches his hat too good!
