    I've been playing for 35 years and threw away my picks in 2001. This is absolutely my favourite song in the world and have developed it without a pick. Your tutorial proves that even this old dog can learn new tricks! Thank you very much for this.

    Thanks Pavel, another great tutorial and one of the early straits songs that inspired me to learn to play. You make all of these MK and straits songs so much more accessible to learn. Big thanks again!

    What a freaking awsome tune, remember when i first heard it when i was around 12 years old, blew my mind, and still does.
    Thanks again Pavel.

    Learned this song a few years ago and can play it pretty good....mostly. Your instruction on proper fingerings and chord changes at the end will help me pull it all together now. And it's one of the few songs I can sing....sort of. Thank you for your help! Love how you teach too.

    Hi Pavel !
    Great video and analyse one more time.😊👍
    "The man's too strong" still have been one of my favourite song from BIA album and MK's song.
    I was 15 years old when this album explosed in the entire world.
    I still thought that real MK fans have seen the B Side of the album much more private...sad..intimate and soulfull than the A Side.
    In each word I can easily feeling Mark the jounalist...everbody knows what about Mark is talking about in this poem...song...
    I've still be affraid by some magically words inspired once again that Mark is singing...hard to thinck of who's hidden behind...
    "And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song"...
    I'm still feeling shivers till 1985 just when Mark is singing these words.
    But I adore the A Side of BIA too...!!!...
    It's much more sunny, cheerful without a real link beetween each song.
    Awsome ballad (So far away), Big Rock (Money for nothing), frenzied Country Blues (Walk of life), Fantastic sweet pop love song (Your latest trick) and an ideal poem as a child's lullaby (Why whorry).
    And...at the opposite...the B Side...for me...is really almost a thematic block...
    The war of course...
    Mark had been really much inspired by the conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina in the Falklands...a great part of these songs were written in New-York City.
    And in 1985 I could see Mark and the Band Live singing all these new songs Live..😍...
    I wasn't on the ground during all the show...and two surprises let me down...First he sung "The man's too strong"😛...and Sting was there to sing "Money for nothing"...
    A perfect day..🎼🎵🎶🎸🍀
    Thanck you Pavel...you're making a great work...😉👍

    Thank You Pavel for this great session. Finally a proper breakdown of this fabulous song, helps a lot. I always found the live Wembley version very cool played with that Ovation style guitar, very specific sound in combination with Mark’s voice and the drums part. All Best from Holland, Michael

    This was one of my two requests going back some time and boy what a treat! My 6 year old son knows who you are from passing exposure and is also learning from you, so fingers crossed, there seems to be hope for the next generation 😁
    Gravy Train was the other humble request - which has just been released on most steaming platforms as of yesterday and would be your first B side song to get the Pavel magic…

    Excellent tutorial as always Pavel. Only thing I've never been able to do is get the end sequence to sound right. I would love to get a simple look at the chord sequence as it seems to be altered on the second time around, which helps resolve and make the ending so magic like sun after a clearing thunderstorm.
