Mark Knopfler's guitar riff on Money for Nothing is one of the most recognizable in rock history, and the song's guitar solos showcase his ability to blend melodic clarity with raw rock energy. The crunching, distorted tone Knopfler used — uncharacteristic for him — was achieved through a Schecter guitar, and the song became an MTV anthem, ironically commenting on the very medium that broadcast it.
