cool you seen them live? money for nothing but knopfler has done some very impressive guitar work in his solo work and guest appearances with other artists
Smeg, If you are a fan of Knopfler, you have to get this CD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...f=sr_1_9/002-6545443-8012805?v=glance&s=music This is a live version of some of their greatest hits. Probably my fav CD of all time. He does alot of solor guitar work here. Ill bring my CD to HP's bbq and let you have a listen. PS - MODS please lock this whenever you have time. My bad.
