Not exactly listening to ... just looking forward to:

Famous upbeat 'three chord symphony', A - E - Bm - D (plus F#m and G for the bridge).
It's really dead easy. Perfect for trying out the new Looper, and then improvising over the progression
The second guitar just plays single notes on the b string, going down from 14th fret, ending at an A on g string. You can play a full open A chord for a change sometimes.

Knopfler rules (check 02:30+ here), including Royal Albert Hall, where they played numerous times, for numerous years
O7,
NB. Mark explains how to properly play it here, chord by chord, and it'sdead basically rather easy too (if you can play fingerstyle, but goes fine with a pick too, just a little more work, and use one of the Taylor custom picks or such to avoid too much attack), actually, but somehow I fear, the guys didn't quite get it right anyway. All three of them later went away into Death Metal, Free Jazz and such, what a waste IMHO. Anyway:
It's part two and three of a master class, look up the first one too if you will. The guitar you see here sold for half a million GBP last year btw.
EDIT: Knopfler style absolutely requires the use of a volume pedal, he still uses the old Ernie Ball ones, like I did, until the string broke after 20 years. Even though Ernie Ball sells replacement parts, those don't fit anymore, as the volume pot the thing is centered about was changed, and so the string setup doesn't fit anymore, and you can do nothing about it. So I was forced to buy a new VP Jr. and it's great again! Steer clear from anything else if you're serious about guitar volume pedals, you'll regret it. Steve Rothery uses the same as Mark, but got a shiny level display on top
. Hopefully, that's not standard yet

Bonus track! 20 years ago you innocently let the CD play to its end, but after 20 mins of silence, suddenly this hidden track came up

The best track by them, ever, IIRC. Still sat straight in my chair, when it unexpectedly played for the first time, at full volume

EDIT: - Sorry, as @Ralph Vargr has informed me below, it seems the BBC Sounds app only works for UK...
I only recently discovered on BBC Sounds a Radio 3 "spin-off station" called BBC Radio 3 Unwind (3U). I never usually look at streaming services so had not seen this one before. Apparently it will be coming to DAB+ this year. Anywayup... It has made a nice backdrop to playing on the PC or reading so I thought maybe I'd post a link to it on here:

Cutting Crew, yes yes. Follow the seafoam Pensa Custom Stratocaster.
But boy, that Fender dude still rocks so beyond anything common today!

I know this is not new but since Euro-thingie kicks off tomorrow I thought it might be nice to put this brilliant example of Jan van Duikeren on the flugelhorn to set a chilled tone for the day:

P.S. Why did I come across this on the yourtube today? - Well 'cos my postman has not turned up at all this week with my JVD CD from France so I'm a bit antsy hoping he'll appear this morning.

Exceptional stuff, thank you! The Flügelhorn dude is beyond for sure, accompanied by an odd 6 string bass and a custom built Tele with Fender neck but no decals. Both are brilliant too, the bassman can play solos like a guitarist. But the most important thing is the music, great, subtle choice, and it saved my day
O7,
NB. The guitar player chose the same TC Electronics Forcefield Compressor pedal model I use, excellent choice! \o/

Btw my personal dream of being old is something like Luka Bloom ("Acoustic Motorbike", remember?) does here.
Perfect spot, hope the drinks are free and change with daytime

Ok, Rainy Night again, what can I do? The song haunts me, it seems.

Lest I forget. This was 1994, and the dude is named David Stewart, the male half of Eurythmics and an exceptional guitar player by himself.

While the song might sound cheesy, mainstream or plain vanilla boogaloo upfront to some, it's a masterpiece actually. Listen to the guitar tone.
