His style is hard to copy, especially because he uses his fingers instead of a guitar pick, which, combined with his musical influences, makes it really hard for someone to replicate his technique. With the success of\u00a0Dire Straits, he caught the attention of some of the greatest guitar players in the world and had the chance to meet and play with some of them. Over the decades, he gave his opinion on many of those players, including Eric Clapton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=20564\/#What_is_Mark_Knopflers_opinion_on_Eric_Clapton\" >What is Mark Knopfler\u2019s opinion on Eric Clapton<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=20564\/#Mark_Knopfler_continued\" >Mark Knopfler continued:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=20564\/#Mark_Knopfler_said_that_he_and_Clapton_have_different_styles_but_the_same_roots\" >Mark Knopfler said that he and Clapton have different styles but the same roots<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/?p=20564\/#He_said\" >He said:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-mark-knopflers-opinion-on-eric-clapton\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Mark_Knopflers_opinion_on_Eric_Clapton\"><\/span>What is Mark Knopfler\u2019s opinion on Eric Clapton<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Knopfler has always been a big fan of Eric Clapton and once said he grew up wanting to be in a Blues band like Eric with John Mayall. \u201cThe John Mayall album. That was serious (stuff), serious. (\u2026) With Eric, it\u2019s just really (has) been a blues-based thing, that has been refined here and there. Extended backwards in time and refined around what there is then. It\u2019s an excellent base for explorations, really, and for just doing different things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn fact, you can hear it, when you get figures who are maybe popular in Rock bands who play, but they don\u2019t have that basis. When they try and do bluesy things or blues type things\u2026 I remember Eric laughing at some people\u2019s efforts to do that. Because I suppose people achieve a sort of facility on instruments. So they think they can therefore play that stuff. It\u2019s not as easy as that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"mark-knopfler-continued\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark_Knopfler_continued\"><\/span>Mark Knopfler continued:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe other thing about Eric that I\u2019ve always said, he\u2019s one of my favorite singers. To me, he is kind of like a white Ray Charles, you know, in a way,\u201d Mark Knopfler said in an interview for the documentary \u201cEric Clapton: Standing at the Crossroads\u201d (2009 \u2013 Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). They had the chance to play together many times over the years. The first occasion was in 1985, when Clapton joined Dire Straits on stage at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That night they played \u201cTwo Young Lovers\u201d (Dire Straits), \u201cCocaine\u201d (J.J. Cale) and \u201cFarther Up The Road\u201d (Bobby Blue). They once again joined forces in 1986 at the Prince\u2019s Trust 10th Birthday concert and in the following year, during Clapton\u2019s Royal Albert Hall residence, Knopfler was his second guitarist. In 1988 they played together again at the Prince\u2019s Trust and Nelson Mandela shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That same year, Clapton embarked on an American tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his career, and Knopfler toured with him. The final shows took place in Japan and also featured\u00a0Elton John\u00a0and Sting as special guests. Interestingly, one of the few times Clapton played rhythm guitar live during his career was with Dire Straits. As the band\u2019s bassist John Illsley joked in his biography, Eric is actually pretty good as a rhythm player too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"mark-knopfler-said-that-he-and-clapton-have-different-styles-but-the-same-roots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark_Knopfler_said_that_he_and_Clapton_have_different_styles_but_the_same_roots\"><\/span>Mark Knopfler said that he and Clapton have different styles but the same roots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he and Clapton have different styles, Knopfler said that they have the same roots and understand each other\u2019s music. Not long after the legendary played with Dire Straits in the late 80s, Mark talked in an interview with\u00a0Scott Muni\u00a0about their techniques. \u201cI like playing with Eric, because is fun making Eric sound as good as possible. (\u2026) I know all of Eric\u2019s stuff,\u201d he said. Then the interviewer says he thinks Clapton also knows some of Knopfler\u2019s music and the musician replies: \u201cHe does know, he has to learn it now. He is up there now doing it, he have to for (the) Wembley (show). He has played (with us) before. So it\u2019s not quite hard for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe did lend me a guitar or two (for the album \u2018Brothers in Arms\u2019). Acoustics and stuff, which was very, very kind of him. He took his favorite guitar and took all the way to Salem, Montserrat (In the West Indies). I suppose we are both rooted\u2026 We play differently, but we both rooted in the same kind of stuff. We both like the same kind of stuff. So the similarity comes in the\u00a0Blues\u00a0playing, basically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clapton said Knopfler is \u201ctotally unique\u201d and \u201ca great craftsman\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oe2S0-KHm5c\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oe2S0-KHm5c<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Clapton also admires Knopfler and Dire Straits a lot, saying he is a \u201ctotally unique\u201d and a \u201cgreat craftsman\u201d. \u201cWell,\u00a0Mark Knopfler, I think, is totally unique. He\u2019s a great craftsman, which brings it back to that. I mean, with Dire Straits, if you listen to any of their albums the first time, it sort of goes by you a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen gradually it just gets better and better, and it stands the test of time. They\u2019re fantastic craftsmen,\u201d he told\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0in 1991. As told by John Illsley in his biography \u201cMy Life in Dire Straits\u201c, the first time Clapton went to see them play was when they were promoting the 1982 album \u201cLove Over Gold\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"he-said\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_said\"><\/span>He said:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hit the road with a warm-up gig at Guildford Civic Hall, a sketchy performance memorable only for the after-show appearance backstage of Eric Clapton, a guitarist much admired by anyone who has ever picked up the instrument. It was flattering that he came to see us or, more probably, to see Mark in action,\u201d John Illsley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time Mark ever heard Eric Clapton was when he listened to the guitarist\u2019s classic album with John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers, released in 1966. After the 1980s and early 1990s, they continued to collaborate from time to time. In 2014, Clapton organized the J.J. Cale tribute album \u201cThe Breeze: An Appreciation of J.J. Cale\u201d. Both musicians had been heavily influenced by the American artist, who had died the previous year. Knopfler played with Eric on the tracks \u201cSomeday\u201d and \u201cTrain to Nowhere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, in 2024, Clapton took part in a Mark Knopfler project. Alongside many incredible guitar players, he recorded a new version of Mark\u2019s \u201cGoing Home (Theme From Local Hero)\u201d to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Knopfler is one of the most unique guitarists of his generation.
