:) ;) Thanks for the heads-up. Looks great. Nice to see JI and MK together again. :)
-
I got really goosebumps seeing them sitting there together....
but
did I miss something? :o :o Never heard of this programme before?? Did we know that this would coming up? Is it all about Mark, or do you think there will be other guitarists as well??
Forgive my ignorance...

UNTOLD STORIES:
"I didn't have the nerve to ask my dad for an amplifier...."
HA HA HAAAAARRR!!!!
"You're looking good, Steve!" - "Yeah, I stopped drinking....."
Happy! Some of you Brits MUST record this and make it available for us Get-A-Lifers! In HD!!!

-
Wow, it looks so great, a TV program with Mark talking about his guitars !
I hope that producers will release this program on DVD worldwide !
-
Awesome. Aboslutely awesome.
-
omg......unbelievable stuff. and those guitars...man...
-
Amazing. Can't wait to see it. And the way he compared a Pensa to Ferrari was awesome :)

Oh man! We will have to look out for that othe Ovation channel in Aus I think ?
-
It looks wonderful - can't wait! :P
-
The programme looks stunning. Can't wait.
Any idea how long the programmes on for??
Hopefully about 5 hrs!!! ;D ;D
Cheers BBB
-
Looking good. Can't wait to see it.
Just the trailer got a very sentimental feeling with these old men telling stories, and to see MK and John together is great.
-
WONDERFUL, It's great to see again Mark & JOHN together with all those guitar.
wait so long Mark

Bah ! I don't have Sky - so I'll have to wait until it appears somewhere else ( and hope it is advertised if it's on one of the "obscure" channels) Yes, it's nice to see JI with MK again, .. and looking the the window of "J.G. Windows" in the Central Arcade in Newcastle.

It is a great way for John Illsley to benefit from his fame (and no malicious meaning here). I think it is fair enough that meeting Mark Knopfler must have been the best day in his life. So now, instead of trying to imitate him on the guitar or playing bad versions of Sultans, he does (for us) the best he can:
Introducing Mark to us! Now I wonder, which other great guitarists did he meet during his career? I mean, meeting in the sense of becoming friendly with?
Any ideas? Brian May maybe? Hank B. Marvin? Eric Clapton of course...
I am right though when I think that this will be a series of episodes and any episode will be about another guitarist? ???

Sky Arts is bizarrely only available in HD if you get your Sky TV from Virgin! Get it from Sky and you cannot get HD! :disbelief
EDIT: Actually, it is! I was misled by the Radio Times that was a little vague, but having checked on the TV it is actually HD from Sky too. :-[
-
That's strange indeed. However, I would be happy to have this show in black/white though! :lol
Really love to listen to Mark talking these days. The Ferrari line is great indeed, really into it. He used to talk slowly, searching for words and stuff in earlier years. Today he seems to be just a real good, well educated, eloquent kind of guy. The kind of guy I would not bother to have around and talking to for ages.

Wow, this looks like a dream come true for all MK fans, and fans of the guitar in general. I don't have Sky, but I do have YouTube ;)

I like it

Do you remember that Steve Phillips concert where MK played some songs with him and was about to be broadcasted in the future?
Is this programme.
We didnt know that when we knew about the Steve Phillips thing, but the songs recorded are in the trailer of this documentary.
I love that is John Illsley the one that presents Mk documentary, they are not only friends but they are the two remaining Dire Straits!!!!!

-
That trailer is amazing, it seems, they all together had a lot of fun. Looking forward to see the whole film.
Thanks for posting.
-
I wonder if John had not been involved would have Mark done it?
Very promising doc.
-
Looks like more than one episode, I wonder if John is presenting the whole series? Who else could be in the series talking about their guitars? Clapton? maybe, but he keeps selling his guitars, David Gilmour? maybe, he has lot's of famous guitars, Mike Oldfield? wishful thinking on my part maybe, but he does own lot's of lovely guitars.
-
What I wonder if this is just one show, or its gonna be a serie of documentaries with differents guitar players and differents conducters...
-
I can imagine Roger Waters directing one on David Gilmour ;D

I can imagine Roger Waters directing one on David Gilmour ;D
Yeah maybe, and Freddie Mercury presenting one in Brian May.

So that's a 1hr show including adverts then, or if it's on ITV 2hr! ;D

;D I was wrong, Having checked the programme guides I realise that I do have Sky Arts 1 in my Virginmedia cable package :lol
Now to put a note on the calendar! (10pm 16th Oct).
I suspect that Mark has so many guitars that you could spend one minute on each and still not get through them all !

Channel 281 on Virgin isn't it? Radio Times comes in handy! ;)

Robbie McIntosh is one of the other episodes! Read it.. eehm somewhere
EDIT:
Talking of guitars, a great gig last night at The Half Moon with John Illsley and his band - special treat to watch the legendary Robbie MacIntosh in action...

WOW can't wait for that!
I see the new Pensa gets an airing and also great to see the Montleone being made and then literally being played! Master to Master comes to mind there. I see also a MK Signature strat in there too (I am biased!)
Great shot of Mark with guitar and amp playing at British Grove with John watching on!
Will be setting 'record' for this not to be missed programme!!
-
Very promising indeed. Looking forward to that. ;D
-
It's not the Isabella that you see get played by MK in the preview of Guitar Stories.
It's called Spring and is one of the Four Seasons-series from Monteleone.
This website (which is a preview of a book) contains some nice photos of both the Isabella and Spring guitars - http://archtopguitars.info (http://archtopguitars.info)
edit: I stand corrected, the Monteleone Isabella may well as be one of the featured guitars...
-
Mark acually is owner of 2 Monteleone guitars: Custom Isabella and Autumn (from 2005 Four Seasons series)

Very true. He and Guy keep saying you get a better tone from an older guitar, yet his workhorse now is his new signature Strat. ??? I'm not fond of the sound from that personally compared to his older Strats, nor the shiny look it's got.
Also, these Monteleone guitars look alright (a little over-elaborate for my taste), but they're just ornaments really; never to be taken on tour or really properly used.

Sacrilage!!!! I have personally never played such a beautiful Strat in my life nor has my local Fender dealer either!!!! and I really love the 'smooth' sound MK gets from his too! Listen to Redbud City!

I did edit it a few minutes later. A stupid mistake as I was looking through the Radio Times at the time and it made no reference to it being in HD when they listed the Sky number, but they did when listed the Virgin number! I checked on the TV guide on my TV (I have Sky HD) and it was in HD so I amended my comment.
-
Maybe I should check the trailer again, but is it true that there is no Martin among the six chosen guitars? That would be strange... Marbletown, Get Lucky... some important tracks in his recent career..
Also, the red Telecaster from Walk Of Life is a wonderful guitar that should be chosen instead of the "more theoretical" Monteleone guitars... these ones I don't like especially....

Agree on Martin!
Mine would be Red Schecter, National, Les Paul 58, MK Martin, MK1 Pensa, MK Signature Strat.

Klaas Bouke, thank you very much for posting those beautiful pictures! I loved watching! :P

sorry, but I'm not fond of the sig strat at all
Redbud tree (not city ;)) or beachcombing are nice tones, but from the "recent" stuff, listen to What it is ! STP ! these are real amazing tones ! 61 and 62 strats ! :D
and of course 77-79 stuff :P
in 80s and early 90s all guitarists used "modern" guitars, or modern gear : schecter, pensa and soldano for MK, sig strat for EC, BMG PU on the red strat for Gilmour, etc...
but in the mid 90s and 2000, vintage guitars, amps and stompboxes re-emerged : Gilmour used his lengedary black strat and big muff again, Mark his 61 and LP, and fender amps, and so on...
I would have loved that Mark kept his 61 for strat sounds, like Gilmour does with his black strat, but unfortunately, Mark prefered to use this sig strat, which I find a little bit impersonal. It doesn't have the particular DS/MK history, it's just another fender serial-manufactured guitar to me, just with Mark's specifications, but not THE guitar which was used on legendary tracks like sultans.
-
Agree with the vintage guitars, e.g. I loved Clapton's Blackie tone, but it was gone the day he changed to his signature model. I could understand that Mark wants to save them from the stress of being carried around the world, but he plays even two Les Pauls from the 50ies (great he does!!) so why not the 61 Strat? Maybe it has to do with having several Strats with different string gauge, or it is part of his contract with Fender?
I hope someone will record the Guitar Story, I don't have Sky but I MUST watch it :))

Actually What it Is was recorded with the Red Schecter Strat. That was the very last time Mark played that, at least in studio.
-
let's not forget David's legendary #00001 strat, which he does still play on occasions...prime example being..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4kgBpgoQaU
-
The Signature strat is a guitar that Mark designed for the strat sound he wanted in the early 00's, end not to be a copy of his original Fender red strat.
I owned a MK signature, the neck was great (7.25 radius with medium jumbo frets) but the association of Texas Specials pick ups and Ash body produced a mellower sound than I wanted. The Redbud Tree solo is an excellent example of the sound of this guitar.
-

Yes I heard this, but I'm not really sure it was the case.
Don't forget that many times, journalist, Guy, or even Mark's quotes are false ! just because they do'nt remember excatly what gear they used some months or years ago
Mark said in an itw that trawlerman'song was played on the 54 strat, and of course it's not (he used it on tour and on boothbay though)
WII sound likely more the 61 than the schecter strat. And around 98, 99 or 2000, when WII was recorded, Mark was more in the vintage "trip" (Les paul, 54 strat, blonde telecaster...) so I don't see why he would have used a so 80s guitar (even if he used it on going home on ANIL)
on STP promo tour in late 2000, and on tour in 2001, he always played it on the 61, so it's more likely that he ued it in srudio just before, rather tahn the schceter, but of course we will never be sure
The Signature strat is a guitar that Mark designed for the strat sound he wanted in the early 00's, end not to be a copy of his original Fender red strat.
Yes I know, but I was disapointed that he wanted a more "modern" sound than the vintage one, like many guitarists did in these days
let's not forget David's legendary #00001 strat, which he does still play on occasions...prime example being..
I think many here know this, but it's of course NOT the very 1st strat build.
You can hear it on ABITW part 2 for the famous funky rhythm
-
I thought that WII was recorded with the Olympic White strat he used on the STP tour, but I'm not sure.

-
Agree with the vintage guitars, e.g. I loved Clapton's Blackie tone, but it was gone the day he changed to his signature model.
From what I read from Eric's guitar tech, Blackie was in such a bad shape that it was a miracle that "she" lasted until the end of 85' BTS tour.
She needed to be replaced. But I agree that the replacement from 86 onward are not my favourite sound. The news series I think from the second half of the 90's/early 00's sound much better to my ears.
-
Clapton's late 80s / early 90s sound was absolutely junk. Just listen to something from the Mandela concert. Can't believe it. The man has the money to get the best equipment there is, and that was what he was able to get out of it.
-
I honestly think there is far too much emphasis on the actual guitars used (even though I'm an obsessed follower of Ingos blog). Mark or Eric would be the first to say they use whatever is at hand, and the amp / production has a much greater impact on the sound we hear....

I agree that EC's tone from late80s eraly 90 isn't his best tone (my fav is Brownie with bassman from Derek era, or SG+wah from disraeli gears), but I don't know why, I like his tone on Mandela, and Wonderful tonight is my fav version
I thought that WII was recorded with the Olympic White strat he used on the STP tour, but I'm not sure.
I think that the white strat has been used only on the song STP (in studio and live)

totally agree.
The stompboxes/amp/production chain affect the sound far more than the guitar itself
I agree when Ingo says that the wood affect the change, but I think it's very subtle in comparison with using a different amp, different effects, or a different producer !
If EC had kept Blackie, but produced by Phil Collins, it wouald have sound "80s", while a sig strat into a bassman, produced nowadays sound more vintage
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the 61 in a soldano, produced by Neil dorfsman would sound more "modern" than the pensa in a bassman, produced by Mark himself ;D

Nice article. I've read it a long time ago, but forgot about it. There he states why he's not using his early Pensa-Suhrs anymore. Too small necks.

I agree that What it is sounds rather like the 61 Strat than the red Schecter (although I also read the info with the red Schecter somewhere). Mark used the 61 on stage for this song, and he often plays the same guitar on stage as in the studio.
I imagine the red Schecter on the intro of Silvertown blues, the metallic sounds has something I associate with the Schecter.

Funny but I can hear the red Schecter very very clearly in What it Is. I always thought that was it but since Mark had apparently retired that after OES I assumed my ears were tricking me. When I read it was the red Schecter indeed I had to appologise to my ears... lol
-
Some confirmations here in the attached interview about guitars on Last Laugh White strat / What it is red schecter ..seems a tweed twin and 59 bassman were used also but not 100% on that
-
Yes of course he said it in an itw, but when doing so much itw, during so long time, I think that even Gu or Mark can't remenber exactly which gera was used, except if itwas listed, wrote and compiled by the sound enginner, or one of his assistant.
I think that sometimes during recording sessions, Mark and Glenn Saggers try different set-up : different guitars, amps...with different recording takes
So maybe, many months later, he remeber having used a particular guitar during days, but it's not necessarily the one on the final mix ?
I always quote the itw where Mark claims that trwalerman song is played on the 54 : maybe a take of this song with the 54 exist (and maybe that's why he played it this way on tour), but of course the final mix is with the LP58.
So it's hard to say if we can believe Mark's memory every time
Same for Guy, when he answers on his forum, sometimes it is just "if memory serve", but....
Of course we will never be 100% sure, but I agree with Ingo : the schecter sound is more "metallic" than the 61 fender, so indeed Silvertown sounds far more schecter than WII
-
Mark used the white Strat on the Letterman show and it sounded more like the studio version than probably any other live one in terms of tone.
-
We tend to associate the Red Schecter with the Alchemy version of Sultans of Swing, that metalic tone and stuff, but if you listen to Once Upon a Time in the West - when he used a different combination of pick-ups - it does sound just like What it Is IMHO.
I agree that you can be tricked by your memory here and there but I think that's the kind of occasion that must stick in somebody's head, the very last time you recorded a take with a special guitar. I don't think it's the kind of thing Mark would forget, that instrument must mean a lot to him.
We will never be 100% sure, unless it was filmed... But I'd bet on that, for sure.
-
Bah ! I don't have Sky - so I'll have to wait until it appears somewhere else ( and hope it is advertised if it's on one of the "obscure" channels) Yes, it's nice to see JI with MK again, .. and looking the the window of "J.G. Windows" in the Central Arcade in Newcastle.
yes i recognise j g windows in newcastle; mk bought his first ever guitar from a shop called Kitchens, right next to the old Tiffanys nightclub (used for scenes in Get Carter). the shop is now a bar.

the SOS demo was recorded on 27/07/1977, given to Charlie Gillett, and later featuring on the CD "honky tonk demos"
The SOS single version was recorded on 20/04/1978, to have a "rockier" sound, I guess asked by WB ?
funny to notice that it's on this version that Mark had the few bars just before the famous final licks (which don't feature on the album version), few bars that he kept on all live versions.... until the hurlingham show in 2009 where he "explains" how came the idea. Now he did'nt plya these bars anymore

It's on the "planner" to record but, since moving house and changing provider, I've yet to work out how to turn the recording into a DVD.
Guitar Stories is repeated by the way - at 2.00 am, 11.00 am and 5.00 pm on the Wednesday, my notes say. I can't recall if that is on the link I sent.
