Mark Knopfler’s Best Guitar Solo – What’s Your Pick?
« on: February 20, 2025, 09:11:47 AM »
Mark Knopfler is known for his unique fingerpicking style and iconic solos that define Dire Straits and his solo work. From the legendary "Sultans of Swing" to the emotional "Brothers in Arms", his solos have left a lasting impact on fans.

Sultan's is the solo everyone wants to learn. It has the most rememberable hooks (like the 16th arpeggios at the climax) and I think will be the guitar solo people remember and love in 20 to 30 years time.

Well it might end up being a nice discussion, but the OP has the clear hallmarks of a spambot :)

PS, I'll say Tunnel of Love, although oddly, when I pick up a guitar I usually play the solo from You Don't Know You're Born.

Tunnel of Love. But İt Never Rains has a very good guitar too.

Entirely agree about the spambot.
so I'm not going to commit myself, because who knows what information they are gathering and the purposes to which it will be used !  ;D

Tunnel of Love has always been the most lyrical for me and, being one of is trademarks, I think that is his best.

I've also always enjoyed the 2nd solo in Telegraph Road (after "three lanes moving slow").  Perfectly suits the lyrics at that point.
