Thanks Erik - after that I’m not sure if I want to go play my guitar - or toss-it :-)

There are probably guitar players picking up tips from this video as I type

Cheers
Very cool. Rather than being a "tour of his guitar collection", it is more an examination of musical playing styles, with a handful of his guitars used to demonstrate them on, and an explanation of what makes one guitar preferable or more suitable for playing a particular style.
I've been "playing" guitar now for over 50 years and I just gotta say that, at my very best, I couldn't even come close to Knopfler when he's just noodling around. Incredible!

He made it very clear, though, just how much determined discipline it takes to learn finger movements that are not at all intuitive.
