the leader of band Mark Knopfler is a genius at playing guitar.Especially his guitar solo in 'Sultans of Swing' is excellent.How do you think about them?

I enjoy some of their stuff, Telegraph Road in particular.

Preferred Genesis from that era though

Purple

Favourite track is "brothers in arms" also one of my favourite albums.

If you like straights and have heard a few albums definately check out some of Knopfler's solo material: Sailing to Philladelphia and Ragpicker's dream.

Money For Nothing is a damn cool song. Mark Knopfler is the only rock star to have a dinosaur named after him.

How long have you been playing? It isn't impossibe, but getting round the fingerpicking style is quite difficult.
