No disrespect, AND I am not saying Knopfler is not GREAT, in fact I really think he's good.
But there are many artists who play lead and sing. The most famous of all, JIMI HENDRIX.
Then of course there are the hall of famers, Eric "slow hand" does it all the time. Paul Gilbert "riffs" his head off whilst singing, heck... SHeehan does it too..and er..yeah, Vai does it too, so does Malmsteen (when he does Hendrix).
I believe many R&B, Blues players do it all the time too....funk and country too.
For the finger and pick skill, really, many latino acoustics have mastered the hybrid style long before it was famous. Plus, another person, Jeff Beck made it famous too. So knopfler can't claim all credit....though he was really really good.
....I think the guitarist from THE KNACKS is power too. The way he did the solo for "Sharona" ....'major' mind blowing

1st of..any one heard the new sonic youth : sonic nurse album?
they have an awesome guitarist, nah actually they have 2 awesome guitarist,thurston moore and ranaldo lee with lots of chemistry. try listening to the song unmade bed, the instrumental portion of the song. There are 2 guitars playing, 1 solos with loads of feedback, the other plays bell-like harmonic notes. And man! words fail to do justice to such an awesome chemistry and melody between these 2 guitarists. And yeah they sure do know how to turn feedback into music , they can make feedback feels like rain, in the song the dripping dream. They're one of the pioneers of guitar feedback that influenced nirvana heavily.

You are obviously a big direstraits fan, so no point arguing with you. Just that, yes those G3 guys are instrumentalist, but they DO sing in some of their songs. Vai does his own vocals on his albums, Satch man does his own vocals too, and malmsteen....surprise, he sings on some of his songs too. For the G3 2003, you'll see all of them singing on video.
As for Direstraits, again, I think they're really great, the guitarist is mind-blowing. But there are other bands that are just as good, other legends, aka Eagles, Extreme, Deep purple, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Rainbow..etc all whom have crossed many boundaries and did some jazz/country/classical...etc
My point is, Dire straits are great, but there are other bands out there that are pretty good and not worth "writting off"
Thks for commence guitar_phreak.
YUP.....Those you mentioned are very good band and guitarist.
Jummy page..
Augus young..
Hnedrix...
Gilmour....etc....
This topic..was "who's your fav..axe in the world.
Since there are ,any choices and different taste...
I thought that by naming 1 player that stands out instead of common axeman.like Vai,satrani,hammett,malmsteen...etc...
It would be quite boring...
So by naming Mark Knopfler......I hope you all axeman...can play like him.
I play learn guitar all becos of Knopfler....
His music is very inspiring...and many guitar solos...that all axeman should at least attempt to play...
I reccomed...the VCD/CD live....Title..."Alchemy"...Is cheap..only $12.00.
Trust me...watching him play for 2 hrs of non-stop lead solos....
You never want to put your guitar down.
Noterinces Diana was the greatest Fan of dire striats.
And Alan Shearer must always hear dire straits...in the tunnel b4 going out to the feild to play football.....
"Have a safe journey home"...Going Home....By Mark Knopfler.

Oh yar...
To name 1 more underrated talent...
forgot his name...but he's the guitarist for "The Knacks"
Listen to the song "My Sharona"...
The solo is played on a major scale, very simple major scale, but the way he pays it.....man...WAY COOL.
And it really makes the song cool...no senseless shredding here... soulful fast licks...one issue of guitar one had the score sheet i think...many years back.....looking for it now man...
