Guitar Style
Knopfler is versatile as a guitarist, incorporating elements from blues, early rock and Celtic folk music. He is best known for two styles: the fluid leads exemplified by the Dire Straits song "Romeo and Juliette," and the rhythmic rockabilly-influenced riffs on hits like "Money for Nothing" and "The Bug."Lyrical Themes
Knopfler, who holds an English degree, makes reference in his songs to history and literature (particularly Shakespeare and Dickens) far more often than is common in rock music. He has also written a number of songs that dwell on working class life, though in a less celebratory, more observational way than Bruce Springsteen.
