This man taught himself to be one of the best guitarists in history way before the internet. Pure raw genius and drive.

My mother passed in her 80’s. Alzheimer’s. Before she was deep into she fell in love with Brothers In Arms, the song and the album. When she was deep into the illness she still loved it. You would see her go that place. Good vision being important, I can’t listen to it while driving.
On behalf of my Mother and myself, thanks Mark.

The GOAT in Music. A truly unique, humble and talented guitarist and songwriter. Keep working hard Mark, we all appreciate your passion for making music.

Tremendous guitarist, fantastic storyteller, brilliant lyricist, a good and generous man. I'm so grateful I got to see him live on the 2019 concert tour. The man's talent makes my heart sing.

I could listen to Mark speak all day and night. For all the success and money he's seen over the years, what a truly humble man he is. A real legend.

I watch this with a heavy heart as, to me,  it signifies the end of an era of some of the finest music the world has ever heard. With Knopfler's music I thought we would all live forever. God bless you Mark Knopfler.

That was a most enjoyable interview with Mark Knopfler.  No Ego…No Arrogance…No boasting.

Just his modest sharing, with us, of the wonderful music + times he’s experienced with his guitars…a lovely man, thank you! 🙋‍♀️😁🎸

One of the best guitar players of all time.

To this day, Sultans Of Swing from Alchemy Live, in my mind, is the best live performance from Dire Straits EVER!

The day Sultans of Swing come out I went and purchased an electric guitar.. I am still going .. thank you Mark Knopfler

To me, there is no other guitarist who's written and performed so much brilliant music, storytelling included, as Mark Knopfler. Do peolpe fail to understand the vastness of his talent or why isn't he more rewarded, nowadays? Moreover, he has always come across as a truly kind and humble person. 🫠What a marvelous musician he is. 🙏💙🎶✍️

Some of those pieces should rest in a kind of museum of modern music ❤

The Man of iconic legend in the world music history. He wrapped this planet with love&happiness, comfort&togetherness within those breathtaking and mind-blowing guitar sound and incredible singing stories that became as trademarks and milestones in human lives. Dire Straits forever! My sincere, heartfelt wishes of health, passion, patience and persistence to Mark. All the best from Ukraine!

I saw him live once, in small venue in the Bay Area… by the end of the show I was moved to tears, deeply touched by the simplicity and beauty of his music and the connection I felt with him that night. He was clearly  grateful for the opportunity to make a living from the art that comes through him  and for his audience’s appreciation of his music.
I can still feel his humility and it touches me deeply.

Thank you Mark… the words fall short, but they need to be spoken. 💛

Mark's so humble for being such a brilliant guitarist , songwriter and storyteller .  One of the best of the best Chet Atkins recognized Marks playing right away !

The last legend of rock. The best Guitar player in the world. Telegraph Road Is the greatest rock opera of D.S. Mark Is a Legend.

Iam 83 and play the banjo. Maybe that why I love Marks playing. Also love how humble he is

Mark has given me the most musical pleasure throughout all my life, and I am 70 years of age now. Marks guitar playing has often brought me to tears with his moving methods of emotional crescendos and his individual riffs and techniques that you don't hear from any other guitarist , etc. I have not long left on this planet, but I wish I could just meet Mark, not to worship him, not to be over fanatical, not at my age, but just to shake his hand and to thank him for what he has done for me and that emotional way he has made me feel so often, so many times. Like "Tunnel of love, there it is in a nutshell, its just emotion distilled to me, mounting and mounting in my heart as it hits me. His music and the way he plays just sends me to somewhere special. So God Bless you Mark, thanks so very much mate. You have little idea what your playing means to me. Many will feel the same I know. Mark, you are a special musician, so rare with a gift that I cannot describe. Thanks so much for being there and for doing what you do!

What an unassuming wonderful person Mark is.   Such a superstar that makes you feel like you are his nextdoor neighbor.  The world needs more people like Mark Knopfler.

A true creative genius. Guitar playing, song writing, arrangements and production all gold standard. You cannot manufacture such multifaceted talent. He did the hard yards and that is reflected in his humility and appreciation of his followers. Long may he continue to make magnificent music.
