I'm not hearing Abba. Nice reverb, though. Kinda Eric Johnson-esque.

If this place has taught me ANYTHING it's that nobody wants to watch long videos.

I love both of those guys but I'll take Knopfler for the win almost every time.

Mark Knopfler is a true guitar virtuoso. He is also an amazing songwriter and vocalist. I find his acoustic stuff just as good as his electric guitar work. Someone I can listen to all day

One of my favorites from Mark Knopfler. Simple tune but some nice picking

Useless factoid about Romeo and Juliet - The song is in Open G tuning, capo at the 2nd fret.

Open G is a guitar tuning. Very popular with slide blues players and the Stones.

Tumblin' Dice
Honky Tonk Women
Brown Sugar
Jumpin Jack Flash
Can't You Hear Me Knockin'
Happy
Start Me Up (among others)

All Open G. The Black Crowes use it too.

The capo is that thing clamped on the neck of the guitar that basically moves the nut up. Two frets in this particular case.

I loved Abba! Kinda forgot about them, haven't run across their music in years.

Here's a classic performance by Knopfler and Chet Atkins:

Brothers in Arms may be my favorite album of all time. Great storytelling. Great music. I've even gotten to the point of accepting why Money for Nothing fits as the last song. Knopfler is effortless, like the guitar is truly just an extension.
