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?
