Yawn...

Why "Yawn"?

Don't you think that's some kind of interesting news on AMIT? i think it's much more useful than discussing about which chord can be seen on which picture.. I wasn't aware of MK writing a song for Buffett,  this, so thank a lot  to El Macho!

LE, this is great news indeed, but it's just 25 lines of text and a date.

I can't say anything about that, especially given the fact that I'm not English-speaking person and I can't really discuss poetic quality of this lyrics. But I can discuss chords, because music is a truly universal language! Just kidding, take it easy!

Will wait for a song. I hope it's not a slow folk tune with a violin like many of recent Mark's collaborations was...

100% agree with Foma

we are not all comfortable with english language, so for some of us it's easier to talk about chords than lyrics.

Sorry if it seems not "usefull", but I understand that there are many guitar freaks here, so I think that some could be interested.

Finally, if we can't discuss about guitar, chords, and so on on a Mark Knopfler forum, well, I don't know where we can...

Ok I go back to Ingo's one...

JF, my question was more about the "yawn" related to the definitely interesting news about Mk doing another collaboration...   however exactly that term comes to MY mind reading about guitar chords... but each of his own of course. Please just look at MK's hand on a guitar and guess which chord it is - I couldn't care less..  I know that foma for example has great skills on the guitar, on chords and that he has very much contributed to this forum by giving the chords of the Privateering songs for example, not to forget his great YouTube videos.

So if you feel offended by my earlier post, I apologize. But I give reason to think that El Macho himself could feel offended when he opens a new thread  and the first post on it is "yawn"...

So did you know this Buffet news already for years and therefore "yawn", or do you think Buffets music is "yawn" or is the news itself just "yawn"?

LE, no soucy. I apologize too, I must admit I replied a bit quickly... :-[

I understand your point of view. But I'm sorry to say that news about a new song by Mark on another artist's album with maybe some guitar almost barely to hear (if I take examples of Mark's recent collaborations) made me think more "yawn" than talking about what chord is played on Tupelo.... I know, it's just a matter of taste.

As for if El Macho felt offended, maybe is it to him to respond...

LE

I didn't mean to start any controversy.  No offense meant to anyone, except Jimmy Buffett. The "yawn" was meant for Mr. Buffett, and to express my frustration that Mark doesn't work with someone a little more edgy. So Buffett's music is definitely "yawn", making this news itself somewhat "yawn", imho.

OK! I was not into Buffet at all and have just started to watch some of his videos yesterday on YouTube, and apart from the "cool" surfer mentality and the good fun/mood on the beach ... you could be right... Must have a deeper view.

However, a surfer who's music I really like is this one:
