JVM2nd August 2007Oh man! Muris it's perfect, you know that I worship knopfler, and this is amazing
Thanks!
Skorpyon2nd August 2007Killer sound! Great stuff as always Muris.
Pavel2nd August 2007This sounds like Knopfler himself plays it! Awesome job Muris!
David OToole2nd August 2007Excellent Muris!
Now here's another coincidence 4 u! Remember we had this one last week you posted on my Gary Moore lesson:
"David,I was playing Parisienne Walkways few nights ago at gig,what a coincidence!!". Muris
Last night I was running over Sultans of Swing 'cos I'm doing a gig next week and I need it (first gig in 7 years).
So I said to myself a Knopfler lesson would go down well at GMC. And I reckon I mighta done one in a few weeks time or whatever. Was messing around with a couple of ideas for it and so on.
Well I woke up this morning (da na na na na), and the first thing I log into me mail and see a lesson post message from Kris, and here it is already!
You've done the perfect job on it my friend - great tone too. You have him to a tee. I might nick a few licks from your vid for next week.
David

Muris Varajic2nd August 2007Many thanks for you kind comment guys,so glad you like this one!!
David,this is what we'll do:
You make one Knopfler style lesson and I'll do Moore style one.
That way we'll fill-in each other and everybody at GMC as well!!
betschart2nd August 2007Great lesson, will be learning this one for sure.
Gabriel Leopardi2nd August 2007Excelent lesson muris! I like the sound and the music very much!
David Wallimann2nd August 2007Very nicely done!
Great tone man.
I always wanted to ask. What kind of guitar do you play? Is it a custom built one?
How about amps.. What do you use?
Jeff2nd August 2007Knopfler is my biggest inlfuence and I'm so gald you did this Muris! This is the best Knoplfer lesson I have ever seen. Awesome!
The Uncreator2nd August 2007Excellent Job!
Great licks, and awesome sound!
Andrew Cockburn2nd August 2007Wow, you nailed it - that was knopfler playing really wasn't it? Great job Muris!
Eat-Sleep-andJam2nd August 2007Muris your the man
I love this new lesson. It seriously makes my heart skip beats. A gots a question though
When your playing this whole thing, how do you get good palm mutes like in that first video and style have your hand remained in that handpicking form ?
- John- fire2nd August 2007
sounds quite nice!! great sound
is it covered or is this lick "in the style of"? - Muris Varajic2nd August 2007
@ Wallimann: Guitar in lessons is Musicman Axis,but this one on avatar is my new custom guitar,shall be done in two weeks I hope.
I'm playing on Mesa Boogie 2:90,but for videos I use Korg Pandora PX4D straight into sound card.
@Eat-Sleep-andJam: As the matter of fact,this right hand position that Mark has been using is much more comfortable to do good palm muting,in my opinion.
Your palm is covering each 6 strings all the time,so all you have to do is get a bit lower with it.
@Fire: No covers at GMC,only "In style of.."
AND BIG THANKS TO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
Cheers 
Pantalaimon2nd August 2007awesome lesson mate! loved it.

Bulletproof18th September 2007My god Muris!
No joke...every time I come this site (everyday). This is the first I have to hear...love how you got the timing to the tee. More...MORE!!- Muris Varajic18th September 2007
That's so kind of you!!
Thanks,I'll do more lessons about Mark,you have my word 
al christie18th September 2007Any tips on how to get that sound?
- Muris Varajic18th September 2007
Well,main thing is to use single coil(I added splitter in this Axis).
About preamp settings ..it depends of amp,guitar,EFX.
I used Korg Pandora straight into audio card.
Not factory preset of course,I did some editing. 
Farbror Kudde26th October 2007Man I love the sound when you play muris!
- Muris Varajic27th October 2007
Thank you!
- USAMAN30th November 2007
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your lessons are so diverse. You are one well rounded musician. Your lessons are chucked full of killer licks. Don't stop....got some Marty Friedman in your bag of tricks? - Muris Varajic3rd December 2007
Thanks!
Honestly,haven't been into Marty that much but will try something. 
Ivan Milenkovic16th December 2007Very Knopflery Muris, nice stuff
- Muris Varajic16th December 2007
Thanks for comment Ivan
Toni Suominen13th January 2008I love this lesson, great work Muris!
Duncan29th January 2008Not only is this a great lesson but it is a great little piece of music as well. Really enjoyable.
- Muris Varajic29th January 2008
Thanks Duncan
You pointed it well,if you wanna play stuff like Knopfler then it must be a piece of music.
- fenderbender4th February 2008
Amazing lesson, thanks so much man. Your playing is inspirational for all of us who want to one day be able to play like the best
- Duncan4th February 2008
Haha Muris.
I meant that some lessons, say more exercise lessons don't sound that great to play. Whereas this lesson, I can work on finger picking and legato, whilst also playing a piece of music that sounds good. - Muris Varajic4th February 2008
Thanks Duncan
You know,it is hard to put some nice music into exercises and stuff like that.
Tho we all do our best to make lessons nice to ears.
Cheers 
Danilo Capezzuto6th March 2008Muris you are great, sure, you are great!

Hello GMC folks,long time no see!!:)
What to say about Mark Knopfler? One of the greatest of all times and one of my favorites for sure!!
In this lessons I'll try to explain some licks that Mark has been playing quite often,all covered with his so unique "finger picking style". Lay your both pinky and ring fingers on the guitar body just below strings and do some popping/slapping with rest of them.
Step in and have fun!!
