Here’s the Thing!
Let's get straight to the point!
That’s the way you do it… Mark Knopfler demonstraits picking/fingerpicking
Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Sting & Phil Collins performing "Money for Nothing" at Royal Albert Hall, 1997.
Money for something… Knopfler’s 1959 Les Paul sells at auction for $694,815.00 USD
And of course… “Sultans of Swing”, live, London 1983…
Please note: I have another infotainment channel on Substack, called Unleashed & Unlimited, where I post podcasts, articles and content unrelated to music.🖋🎥🎙
Tangent, but the note about the auction reminded me of _Clapton's Guitar_, ( https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Claptons-Guitar/Allen-St-John/9780743266369 ) a book about Wayne Henderson making a guitar for Eric Clapton, and a copy to auction for charity which you might enjoy.

Post Pick Withers, but always great….
