Mark Knopfler - "Prairie Wedding" and "Speedway at Nazareth"

I just had to post some more songs from Mark Knopfler. These tracks come from his album "Sailing to Philadelphia", which has about 5 or 6 really good tunes on it. Prairie Wedding is one of my favorites, largely because of his guitar tone on the solo that starts at about the 2:37 mark. Then check out his tone on Speedway at Nazareth, but stick with it...it really gets going at around the 3:05 mark. Enjoy!

Dire Straits - "Sultans of Swing (Live)"

I want Mark Knopfler's tone, badly. It's so smooth. I know his finger picking helps with that...but still, that tone.

As an aside, I hate it when the producers of live concert footage aren't musicians themselves. It kills all sensibility when it comes to the shots. Is there a guitar solo going on? Then zoom in on the guitarist's hands. I don't want to see a close-up of his 'guitar face' (complete with cheesy sweatband), I don't want to see the drummer doing his thing, and I darn sure don't want to see the guy on keys getting his groove on (in a very 80s way). I do, however, want to see the guitarist's hands. (end of rant)

Despite the footage, this one's a classic, so enjoy!
