Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins – Instrumental Medley

Sometimes you wonder what it would be like if two of your favourite musicians got together for a jam, well here’s what happened when two of mine did.

Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins get together and really blow the cobwebs from their acoustics to great effect.

Do I wish MK played acoustic predominantly? No. Am I happy that “Get Lucky” is mostly Acoustic? No. Does that make him any less of a musician? Hell No.

Knopfler could take up the wazzoo and I’d still listen intently. If you’re a beginner or are lacking inspiration I order you to listen to everything MK has ever done.

If you’re an acoustic musician and have never heard of Chet Atkins then similarly go do your homework.
