Chords for Guitarist Nails Dire Straits Parts

_ Can these guitarists tell the [Cm] difference between rock and roll Hall of Fame [C] legend Mark Knopfler and his distinctive guitar tones heard on countless Dire Straits records
_ versus Mason [G] Stoops recreating [Gm] Mark's guitar parts using only a [F] guitar, a Tone King Imperial [Bb] amp, and a smattering of vertex pedals [C] and blue [Fm] microphones? _
There's only one way to find [C] out.
Let's play Game of Tones!
[Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ Each contestant will head to a semi-soundproof room. _ _
They'll listen to two identical tracks, one played by Mark, the other played by Mason, and then they will guess which is the original track and which is the fake.
If they guess correctly, they'll earn themselves a point.
_ Let's meet our contestants!
_ [Em] _ My name is Joey Landreth.
I'm a huge Mark Knopfler fan.
I've also seen The Princess Bride about 900 times, and Mark Knopfler did the soundtrack for The [Gb] Princess Bride.
[Bm] My name is Lee Anderton, sometimes [D] known as The Captain, more often known as something more derogatory.
My name is Pete, [Em]
and people know me as Danish Pete, _ sometimes just Pete.
_ _ _ _ _ What [G] up, everybody?
[E] _ [B] It's Dave Koltai here.
I'm ready for the challenge.
I happen to be a connoisseur, you [A] might say, of Mark Knopfler.
_ [A] Let's see how these ears fare.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ Movies, [C] refrigerators_ _
_ [D] For _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ this clip, we've chosen [G] Mason. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I'm gonna say that's Mark.
_ Wrong!
Ah! _
_ _ Mason.
_ [G] Ooh, [Am] a split decision.
Yes!
[A] I smell a fight [E] between the Captain and Danish [Em] Pete.
_ _ Mark. _
_ _ [E] Negative. _ _ _ _
[B] _ [G] Let's hear the second riff.
For _ _ _ this _ _ _ _ _ [D] clip, we've chosen Mark. _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bb] _ Correct.
_ [Am] _ _
_ One, two, three, [A] Mason.
Wrong!
_ _ _ We go Mark again. _
[C] Yes!
_ _ [E] _ _ [Em] Time for [Dm] the third riff. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Looks like Mason is up.
[A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ I'm just guessing.
Is [G] that Mark?
You have chosen poorly.
[Fm] _ _
[G] One, two, three, Mason.
Two different [Am] answers.
_ _ _ [E] Nice touch, Danish Pete.
_ _ [Em] That's Mason.
[E] You have chosen correctly. _ _
_ This ain't no joke, people.
It sounds really, really similar.
It's super close.
_ [Gb] And here we go.
[E] He comes around singing all these stories.
He's got a little bit of what I say. _ _ _ _ _
Get to work, Mason.
[E] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [E] _ Joey betting it all on Mark.
Is that Mark?
[B] _ Goodbye, Joey.
Wrong answer.
_ Pretty much just [D] guessing the entire time.
Time to say goodbye to [E] Joey.
Three, [E]
Mason.
Split decision.
Ah!
I get it, yeah.
Oh, _ _ _ Lee.
_ Time's up.
_ _ _ That's Mark.
Nope, and that eliminates David.
Mason, huh?
Wow!
_ _ _ Ew!
I can play this all day long.
This is super fun.
Sorry, David.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
_ Looks like Peter won [Eb] this contest.
I'm the [Em] winner.
I'm the winner.
_ _ _ Nice work, Peter. _
