Hey folks, I m new to this group. I have always wanted to discuss many of knopfler's songs with other people. I obsess with every bit of detail , From his collection of guitars, to the evolution of his fingerstyle , choice of songs, Stage performances, Unbelievable solos, Interviews, ..... amount of hair he s lost on his head :lol: I guess I m the first user from India! :yay: I have two guitars one acoustic and another electric Greg Bennett , I try to cover Knopfler's work as well as other interesting songs in my free time. :rockon: Cheers ! |

Welcome to the forum POP92. Even though I play guitar myself, I have not heard of Greg Bennett guitars, so I looked them up, they look really nice, are they good to play? Where in India are you? |

hey qjamesfloyd, Greg Bennett guitars are pretty good! they are totally worth it, Of course I wouldnt go and compare them with fender telecasters or strats, but they are certainly better than the cheaper versions of the same(squier series, affinity series..) they just seem more classier , and the fret boards really smooth to play on.( some song like "will you miss me" would sound great) I live in southern india, Bangalore. How about you? |
