Форум гитаристов

From Wikipedia
Knopfler modelled his guitar sound for the recorded track after ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons' trademark guitar tone, as ZZ Top's music videos were already a staple of early MTV. Gibbons later told a Musician magazine interviewer in 1986 that Knopfler had solicited Gibbons on how to replicate the tone, adding, "He didn't do a half-bad job, considering that I didn't tell him a thing!" Knopfler's "not a half-bad job" included his use of a Gibson Les Paul guitar, as does Gibbons (which he used on a couple of other Brothers in Arms tracks), rather than his usual (at the time) Fender Stratocaster, plugged into a Marshall amplifier. Another factor in trying to recreate the sound was a Wah-wah pedal that was turned on, but only rocked to a certain position.[19][not in citation given]
The specific guitar sound in the song was made with a 1958 Gibson Les Paul going through a Laney amplifier and accidental position of two Shure SM57 microphones without any processing during the mix. Neil Dorfsman failed to recreate that guitar sound later on.
