The whole "Brothers in Arms" is such an amazing album. It is such an amazing contrast to the 80's shred guitar so prevalent at the time. The title track is also an iconic tone. You can hear that the guitar is cranked to get that tone but then he so delicacy uses it in the song to embellish the almost whispered vocals he's singing. It is such a demonstration of control and restraint. This is one of these albums that you can't unhear as a musician. Some of it will unexpectedly slip into your psyche. .

I know nothing about guitars and I've never even touched one so I didn't really understand anything that was said, but I just wanted to say that Mark Knopfler has always been my absolute favourite guitarist. Technically I have no idea why he is, but the way he makes it sound seems to be like no-one else.

I went (reluctantly) to a Dire Straits concert in Adelaide, South Australia in the 80's. Didn't think much of them, having just heard them on the radio. But LIVE, OMG!!! I've never felt music go through my body, literally, before or since. Knopfler standing there doing amazing stuff while looking the other way. Never have I seen and heard anything like it since. IMO, it has to be played loud to the fully appreciated.

I’m a big Dire Straits fan, but for a while, the singles from Brothers In Arms got so much radio play (it really was huge in the UK), that I actually got sick of hearing Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life and so on, and tended to listen to the earlier material, which is superb. Later in life, I bought Brothers In Arms on CD, and rediscovered it. What a great, great album! Some of the synth sounds are of the era, and date a couple of tracks, but the sheer quality of the songwriting, playing and production shines through. An essential album!

Just about everything Knopfler played in Dire Straits is impossible to replicate. There’s a reason why there are very few people covering Knopfler on You Tube. No shortage of people covering Jimmy Page, Gilmour etc but not many covering Knopfler. It’s just too hard to get the nuances right. Knopfler is simply phenomenal.
