#ThankYou #MarkKnopfler - Hudba
Man war really is terrible. I find myself hating Russia and Russians more and more each day it drags on, and then I see this video. A man who wants nothing but be with his family, at peace and trying to help others get better at a certain skill. Instead you are seperated from your family for who knows how long, in a strange country with just your small guitar. It truly breaks my heart. Wish you nothing but the best Pavel, im happy for you for the recognition you are getting and hope for a swift reunion with your family in a Russia that no longer spends unnecessary lives in a pointless war, or wherever you want to be in the world!
Thank you for this poignant comment, it really hits hard. And you've described my life perfectly with this. It's exactly what I'm doing. I hope for a peaceful sky and do my best.
Please, let's not hate Russia (which is a great country and a great culture) and Russians (who are beautiful and lovely people with huge sensitivity for arts and literature), let's hate AUTHORITARIANISM, NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM, MILITARISM and, above all, let's hate those who Bob Dylan called MASTERS OF WAR!
I have no country but music, no weapon but the guitar, and my blood brothers are musicians. Because they all - and they only - speak my language.
@@roberto-romanoSo what about that in Ukraine?
You honestly think they are innocent?
@@kylethedalek Yes. I honestly think that common people from Russia (like our brother Pavel and many millions of others) are innocent. I also think that most of Putyin's supporters are innocent. Because they don't know the truth.
You can blame Putin, not the Russians; Xi Jinping, not the Chinese; Netanyahu, not the Israelis; Trump (or Biden), not the Americans; Berlusconi (or Salvini or Meloni), not the Italians.
You are nacist. All the history nacizm came from the west.
You are the best teacher of Dire straits and Mark knopfler songs, I Love learning from your tutorials. I hope it will be peaceful soon and everything will be back to normal so you can see your family again
I just wanted to learn Mark's "why aye man" so I looked for a tutorial on youtube... I can safely say that I found much more than a flawless tutorial! Your playing is amazing and you teach very well too. I think you being mentioned by Mark himself on his website, is totally deserved! Thank you for what you do! I hope you and your family will be reunited soon :)
Спасибо вам Павел огромное за то что вы делаете и за вашу позицию.
Спасибо большое!
I wish all the best for you and your family, hope you join your love asap. You deserve all this as you are a good man.
You're the man. You've inspired me to get back into guitar playing 5 years ago and I will be forever grateful! Hold steady. Nothing (bad) lasts forever.
I enjoy your videos and how you play, thank you for the content Pavel!
You are one of the only people who teach the riff the proper way that mark plays it. You deserve this ❤
You're a lucky man. That is wonderful. I view techniques as things we can build upon to help our expression in music, and to just make music better. You can use techniques and you can enhance styles. I am proud that you get satisfaction out of this. Unfortunately, war is a shame. Life is hard. With all the egregious human sickness going on where human beings have to suffer, we are here getting along together with music and love just fine. :)
Cher pavel,
Surpris de ne voir aucun français abonné à votre super chaine, . Comme tous ici, j'apprécie beaucoup. Fan de mark Knopfler, et guitariste, je suis arrivé ici, par hasard, et c'est un vrai bonheur. Je suis aussi touché par votre simplicité et votre modestie. Je tiens à dire que je fais partie des gens qui comprennent pourquoi la Russie intervient militairement - les raisons me semblent justes et simples, et bien expliquées par son président- Mais si on ne les partage pas, ce n'est pas une raison pour sombrer dans la russophobie. Je pense comme un autre abonné qui a dit: "Je sais que Mark ne soutient pas la Russie, mais cela n'a absolument aucune importance, je l'aime pour le reste. C'est mon héros guitariste et compositeur préféré". Et vous aussi, on vous aime.
Thank you for your words I wish you all the Best for the Future 🙂
Pavel - what a credit you are to your family. I wish you and your family all good things for the future. Thank you for your beautiful playing and clear instruction. Keep going my friend. Ps my fingers hurt now😉
Pavel, what a lovely, generous person you are also sharing your skills and experience with us all. Better times will surely come your way, and I sincerely hope that you will be reunited with your family once again. You have chosen a wonderful path with your music. I'm sure it will lead to great things. Thank you, and all the best 👍
You are talented. Generous. You match in a human way with Mark's music. You are elegant. Thank you for all the gifted work given. You've got friends all over the world. and deserve it. please consider me as one of those "virtual" but full of a musical brotherhood friends. Hope you´ll find your familly back too, with peace, and music all over.
greetings and gratitude from Loire Valley, France.
AnToine (French for Anton)
All the best for you!
Pavel, you are an incredible guitar player, but even more importantly you are a wonderful human being. Sending you love from London, and hoping you and your family are together and safe very soon.
Hi Pavel...Good to see you still doing videos...Eric Haugen does great examination of MK and Ry Cooder rhythm styles
Super!
Pavel: me encanta tu canal y tu trabajo. Te sigo y agradezco mucho tus videos, son geniales. Te deseo lo mejor, keep it up!
Thank you! I will keep it up.
If you can take lessons from Markn Knopler himself, by all means, go ahead and do it. If not, Pavel is a (very close) second-best. I ran into Pavel's channel a long time ago and it was a hidden gem, the best thing that could've happened to a Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler fan. Thank you for everything Pavel, I hope the war ends soon and you and your family will be reunited and safe again. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors, your talent, and generosity will pay off eventually.
Hello Pavel, always a pleasure to watch your videos and absorb the knowledge on Mark's music. I have been following you since when i was only 7 years old and started to play guitar, now im 15 and still do and will be following you! Love everything you do, as a Die- hard Knopfler fan It's evident that you put your heart and soul into your content, and it's a joy to be part of his journey through his amazing videos. You have the feeling and determination of a kind, generous and talented musician. I really do feel bad for you because the war in russia that detached you with your family, and you lost your job. Im sure that you will find peace and happiness. Sure will. Just want you to keep making these vids, stay happy and keep on rocking!
Kind Regards,
Ismail K.
Thank you! As an important part of «MK Crew» on CZcams, you offer a unique point of view of a really young fella playing like this at 15, that guys like me could only dream of. I'm blown away with your every video. Glad this inspiration is mutual!
Guts me that the war has torn up your family like that. Just know that there are a LOT of guitar players out there who really are grateful that you put so much time into what you do and that you have really made an impact on us. Thanks for all that you do!!!
You deserve it Pavel. Big respect. Enjoy the views up on the mountain!! Thank you!
Well done, keep up the good work!!
Well said Pavel. I have strong ties wiht Ukraine and Ukrainians, so often find myself feeling angry and hating Russian people and culture. When I view your wonderful lessons and posts, I am brought back to centre. I realize that Russians are also victims as many Germans were victims of Hitler. I am glad that you have found safety. I am grateful for your wonderful posts. Keep up the good work!
You deserve this recognition, you deserve to be happy and safe with your family. I hope that Mark is somehow in contact with you. All the best Pavel!
Greetings from Canada. Much respect and feeling for your current living situation and estrangement from your family. The world really does understand that Russia is not a sum of it's parts, and there are very human, compassionate and anti-war Russians living in Russia. Keep up the good work and fight the good fight!🙏
You really deserve it Pavel! I saw the publication in Mark Knopfler's social media and a smile came to my face😊You are a great guy and great guitar player. I have been seeing your video tutorials for a few years and learned few songs from them, and I can ensure you are not an amateur teacher, you are very good. Wish you the best for you and your family.
Pavel truly deserves that recognition.
Hello Pavel, You are a good person. I wish all the best for you and your family. I learned a lot from you and I thank you for that. A big hug
Pavel, you are probably the best interpreter of Knopfler's songs on the internet. You deserve to be able to make a living from it. Good luck to you and your family and I hope the madness stops soon.
Well said Pavel, kudos to ya!
Not just for your playing and teaching but also for the circumstances in which you continue to do so. I guess very few people realize what it must be to leave your loved ones behind for the sake of your personal safety. Keep up the good work!
You helped me finally crack done with Bonaparte, that has helped me so much when learning other songs. Glad you're getting the recognition you deserve.👍
Beautiful, Pavel, a wonderful little video. We are lucky to have found Mark, and to have found you, too. You are a private person, but we hope one day you will be able to tell us very soon that your family is reunited.
amazing story i hope you are back with your family soon, and thanks for the great lessons !!!!
That’s awesome news. Thanks for keep teaching us Mark’s songs. I enjoy watching your videos over and over.
Hi Pavel, what you do is precious to all of us. We are close to you even when we don't contact you. Good summer!
What an honor, Pavel. Congratulatios. Let's hope that all that is keeping you away from your family, can come to an end soon.
I can only play my door's bell, but I love to see and listen to your videos, here in Portugal.
Take care and all the best for you.
You are an inspiration Pavel! I hope you can see your family soon and get back to normal living.
Thank you so much! Love your videos, and wish I could play as much as you do. Way to go! As for me, this situation might take a while to resolve... I just do my best while I can.
Pavel, you *are* the best MK style teacher there is. Learning guitar at age 50, inspired by Mark, you have given me hope I’ll learn some tricks that’ll get me closer to sounding a bit like The Man, and maybe get a blista on my lil’ finga along the way. Thanks and bravo to MK for supporting this talent.
Congratulations Pavel! But I did not know you left your country. I perfectly understand why, though, and I guess that sadly it was the only possible move. Hold tight to your music. Now with even Mark's blessing, it's a privilege and an honour!
thanks for being such a good teacher and for all your work over the years🎸. Good luck!❤
Glad to see you get more recognition. Keep up the good work Pavel! Always a pleasure to see your song breakdowns and to go over things in lessons!
Pavel- thank you for your heart felt message . I live in USA for over 30yr now but I grew up in a communist Poland , so I can understand how difficult must be to make the statement about the horrible war . Kudos to you!! I would be happy to support you by getting some guitar lessons but i suck as a player so it would be embarrassing to me!! I hope things get better so you can be with your family !!
in a moment as sad as war, a war that for me, as an Italian guy, became real Precisely when it touched one of my distant guitar teachers, the greatest victory is being able to live on art and love . many congratulations to that distant guitar teacher of mine.
Lets hope this stupid war ends soon, so you can go back to your family Pavel... Your such a good teacher. 🤙🎸
You deserve all the best, you are a wonderful teacher.
Lovely speech from a lovely gentleman.. keep up your good work my man 💪
Thank you Pavel, learning from your lessons and listening to your covers was an amazing experience and i'll surely come back for more
This morning I saw the post in the IG of Mark K. and searched for your videos right away. The videos I watched till now I enjoyed a lot - thanks for explaining your situation and thanks for making these videos! For me this is the true spirit of the internet, providing knowledge, connecting with people and helping em out. I m very happy that you get pushed by Mark Knopflers social media team and I wish you and your family all the best :)
Thanks for all the lessons mate!
Respect, Pavel! I wished there were millions in Russia like you...
Thanks a lot Pavel. We love your work man! Keep holding on!
Well said Pavel ............. I am impressed. Good luck for the future.
I totally support you Pavel! I learned a lot from your guitar lessons and you really are the best at Mark s songs. Because of you I was able to perform a lot of Mark s song live and it made me a better musician. I’m eternally grateful to you!! Also fuck the war! I m from romania and i have a lot of ukrainian refugees in my hometown. I see them and i can only think about the pain that russians also feel because of some mad buggers war. I hope you get to see your family soon! you deserve it!
Паша!!! ❤🤝❤
Also LOVE your achievements you have from playing Mark's music!! I know how good it feels!!
Thank you once again. Yes, I remember working on my channel, thinking «Why am I doing this?» When my equipment was constantly failing, when I was dangling in wires, when I couldn't record something after 20 takes, rerecorded entire videos because of little mistakes, when views were terrible. But it just pushed me, I knew I needed to do it. All I mean is it's A LOT of work and people probably underestimate it. And I certainly not underestimating your talent. You rock!
Fantastic recognition by Mark of someone who really understands his playing technique. Well deserved Pavel. I hope the recognition helps you earn more money in what is a very difficult situation for you. I have Russian friends who have also had to abandon their lives and move abroad because of this pointless brutal war.
Thank you for all that you do - as a lifelong Knopfler fan, you’ve helped me crack some licks that have stumped me for years ❤
Pavel, you have help with some of the toughest riffs and inspired me to continue to tackle Mark’s toughest licks, many of which I am still working on. The war is terrible and hits home also as some of my family lives near the Ukraine border and has helped some of the refugees. My hope that this gets resolved and life for you and your family gets better and you can continue helping me and others learn with more great lessons.
You are a brilliant guitarist! Thanks for all your knopfler content
Very inspiring message. I wish you the very best!
you're an amazing human being Pavel. I hope you reunite with your wife and family very very soon (nobody deserves to be in that situation). I can't imagine the pain you go through and how Mark's music makes time go by faster.
big like for you
Hi there I’m a big fan of Marks
I am really sorry about your displacement and this senseless conflict. You are a stellar musician and a wealth of knowledge. Love from Oz.
Good lucky Pavel! Wish you the best!
Thank you, Pavel.
Thank you for carrying on, and providing quality material for us all to enjoy and learn from.
I've been following you now, since 2013, when I first picked up the guitar, and you have been nothing but an inspiration and a well of knowledge.
I applaud your dedication, your hard work and your musicianship.
Once again, Thank you!
Whoa! Thank you so much, this comment goes to my collection of favourite comments.
Pavel, you are brilliant at playing MK licks. I am getting a lot of help from your great videos. Amazing to see how you get so close to Mark’s style. Keep going. Life is full of ups and downs but as Mark said “A guitar will be your friend for life”, while we all have a guitar and MK’s inspiration, we will all be okay. Great work and best wishes to you.
Pavel, I am here due to Mark's post in IG, Money for Nothing riff finally was explained in a proper way, thanks. Keep on doing. Hopefully the times will be better soon for you, for us (I am from Poland). All the best, man!
Richly deserved, Pavel! I actually think MK is lucky to have someone of your talent and perseverance helping to consolidate his legacy to pass on to the next generation.
Thank you! Yes, I often think about it. I can't think of any other songwriter to have somebody voluntarily teaching his entire body of work, with the exception of the biggest artist out there like The Beatles, etc. Mark certainly got lucky there as well.
Павел, я сочуствую Вашей ситуации. Я, честно говоря, не знал до сегодняшнего дня, что у Вас такая ситуация произошла. Думал, что Вы просто отдыхаете в Турции. Я из Запорожья (Украина, Юго-Восток). Да, военные действия сейчас всем не дают спокойно жить, всем приходится выживать. Я каждый день слышу тревоги и взрывы. Очень рад, что Марк официально о Вас сообщил миру. Это очень серьезное признание со стороны человека такого уровня и масштаба. Я был в Питере на его концерте, но взять автограф не удалось. Надеюсь, что у Вас всё вскоре наладится. Успехов в творчестве и в жизни. Буду очень рад увидеться с Вами лично на творческих встречах. Якщо пощастить (это по-украински "Если повезёт")
Congratulations. You are one of the very few people who plays Mark's music like its meant to be played. Thanks for the lessons🙏
Te mereces lo mejor, muchísimas gracias.
Y en cuanto pueda, te pediré unas clases.
Espero que mejore tu situación y la de tu familia.
Nicely expressed. You're an inspiration to guitar players everywhere. I hope you continued success in your own personally music journey.
I’m not mad at the internet anymore. ❤ this
Thanks a lot Pavel !
Man, are you in Turkey? Where? I live in Istanbul and would love to get together and listen to your story. I really respect your work here and I even learned how to teach a little. Let me return the favor?
You are one of the best guitar teachers on CZcams, it's clear you are passionate about teaching and put a lot of work into your videos. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Definitely a before-after experience after I found youre channel. Unique. Keep up the great work.
Pavel, I enjoy your tutoring, thanks to you I can now play Privatering!
Congratulations and sorry about your personal situation!
Amazing, really amazing. I wish you the best after the war ends. You did the right thing. I teach bus drivers and focus on driving psychology. Just like you I am totally dedicated to my work and have just started to learn guitar and it seems like a impossible mountain to climb.
Well done Pavel
Dear Pavel, I first came on your channel hearing your cover of Paul Simon's "April Come She Will". I'm not a musician but I was so impressed by your sound, really you have a great talent. I'm so sorry for what you're going through and I hope that somehow things will get better very soon. One more thing, your English pronunciation is excellent 👌, better than many native speakers in fact. Best wishes to you and your family
Hope you are reunited with your loved ones very soon.
I am so happy for you Pavel 🥺💕
👏 bravo!!!!
Amazing 👏
Awesome. Just found your site
ive been watching you for so long, its awesome to see that recognition
Keep it up bro
You are amazing. Keep it up !
Congrats! I‘ll come back to you for lessons.
Sorry to hear what you have to deal with every day because of this nonsense. Hope you can share a different message in the near future.
The credit is more than deserved. Every now and then, I return to 5.15 video, as it is one of my favourites, and realize how good you are.
I wish you the best, Pavel. I really do.
I agree and like what everyone is saying below!
Thank you Pavel, for all you offer the world.: a glimpse of what it feels like to play Mark's songs. I admire your attention to detail and method of conveying what is considered to be very difficult and highly revered guitar mastery. You have helped to make me respected by my musician friends. I am an amateur guitar player and hobbyist in the US. I feel like I owe you something. How can I help you and your family?
Thank you, John! You already helping me by watching my work and writing great comments like this. It means a lot to me!
Ciao Pavel, complimenti, in Italia sono stato il primo a notare il tuo talento. Amo Mark da sempre e quindi ti sento molto vicino. Auguri per tutto 👏❤
Molte grazie! Amo molto l'Italia. Se hai dei desideri, sarò lieto di ascoltarli. Mi scuso per la traduzione automatica.
@@PavelFomenkov la traduzione è ok, tranquillo 😀. Seguo il tuo canale da quando hai iniziato e scegli sempre benissimo i brani da fare❤
Hey Pavel, I just wanted to add to all the great comments here and say thanks for all your teachings over the years.
Growing up in the eighties, listening to MK I could never figure out quite how he played his riffs but thanks to you I'm much more comfortable with what I'm playing. You are the number 1 guy to go to to understand how MK gets his sound. The endorsements you've received from him and his team are fully justified and you should feel proud to have the backing of one of the music industries greatest guitarists/song writers. Well done, keep up the good work and hopefully you and your family will be reunited soon. 👍🏻
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
please pavel, it would be awesome for you to break down six blade knife. one of my favourite tracks and do you reckon its possible on acoustic?
I'll see what I can do!
cannot wait great work@@PavelFomenkov
Павел, держитесь! И спасибо вам за гражданскую позицию от другого эмигранта, уехавшего из России из-за войны.
Спасибо большое, Дмитрий! Я не очень активно проявляю свою позицию, но очень рад, если она читается и без резких заявлений. Не думаю, что силён в пропаганде, поэтому предпочитаю «мстить» своей работой на канале и в качестве своеобразного посла из России.
Create a patreon Pavel
I already use it! :)
@@PavelFomenkov I’ll go there
I discovered your channel with your Privateering video. 🙂 thank you !
