Our friend from ACGC MusicRadio explained why Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits deserves the word “Stylist”. Always described as a “Guitar Hero”, Mark is an inspiration to many guitarists and musicians.
Unfortunately, we don’t know the name of our friend from ACGC MusicRadio, but for sure he is from the USA. He has been working in and around music for more than 3 decades. So, the music is a part of his life. A very significant part of his life, he even explains that music is like oxygen for him, without which he cannot live.
He has always wanted to become a radio host or radio DJ and present the music he likes to people around the world.
“A lot of what’s mainstream popular broadcast radio industry shows aren’t actually really good. It’s pushed upon us by the machine that is the recording industry. There’s a lot of amazing music buried deep in the catalogs of great artists. But the average listener will never hear it,” he said.
“I’ve watched a lot of reaction channels over the past years. I realized I had a different perspective. I figured this would be a fun way to share, interact, and communicate with others who love music like I do. This is a way to have fun and escape from “the real world” for a bit. We are not here to argue, or fight, but to share, and uplift one another,” he added.
On August 1st, 2023, he published a video reaction to Dire Strait’s song “Lady Writer.” After listening to the full song, our friend shared an interesting opinion about why Mark Knopfler deserves the word “Stylist.”
Why Mark Knopfler deserves the word “Stylist”?
“Mark Knopfler is often described as a guitar hero, and having one of the greatest guitar tones of all time. I think another word that properly describes him is “Stylist”. His playing technique and his musical feel have its own really distinct style. Whether that be because of his typical choice of a lot of Stratocaster style tones, but not only his fingerstyle-picking style which is sort of a hybrid Chet Atkins style playing along with the finger styles of a slide player, but he doesn’t play slide.”
“It’s just really unique and therefore has its own sonic character, which I think is why the word stylist just keeps reverberating in my brain. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this deeper cut from Dire Straits ‘Lady Writer’. Please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below, we can talk about it further and just know that I appreciate you and I wish you well,” he finished.
