I very much like the guitar sound on this video.
It very much a replicate of the original sound of Mark Knoflers playing on Brothers in Arms.
It is an internal sound in the Yamaha Tyros keyboard, called GuitarLegend. The Player in the Youtube video have modifyed the sound slightly. This is possible in the Tyros keyboard.
My quistien is if anybody know of any guitar sample library that has this sound?
Or is it possible to do it with any of the software guitar players like Podfarm, Guitarig or Amplitube?
I know it is possible to get good distorted guitarsounds from different software.
But i am not looking for a guitarsound that is 80% close to the Youtube video.
I am only looking for a sound that is 100% THAT sound on the video.
Help me identify this guitar sample

There is a sub-forum of it's own for sample libraries related issues, suggest you add questions like that there

That's actually a pretty rough sounding patch by today's standards… 
But the overall vibe comes through…
Not sure what he used on that album, but I think you can get that sound with any decent strat, tele, or les paul sample through the right crunchy blues overdrive amp sim.
The tricky thing is that MK uses a fingerstyle technique, so you'd need a sample of somebody play guitar with fingers. It's sort of a softer, pluckier, rounder tone as opposed to a basic picking sound… In fact, I think he only plays with his fingers, and not w/ finger pciks and/or hybrid style… could be wrong…
Here he is playing that tune on a les paul…
Do you have Kontakt? I'm thinking here that Orange Tree Samples new lap steel could very well give you that sound pretty easily… it's a lap steel, not a guitar, but more importantly it sorta gives you that finger style picking sound out of the box, as opposed to your basic guitar sample library.
Not sure if that lib samples steel or plastic finger picking, or just fingers, whatever… It also has the vibrato and slides that'll give you some of that bluesy vibe as well… Check out the second demo here: http://www.orangetreesamples.com/lap-steel-guitar … Of course, if you don't have Kontakt, then that won't help… (on sale 50%, BTW)...
Other than that, perhaps the MusicLab's RealStrat or RealLPC have a fingerstyle mode? Not sure...

Best chance of getting that is using Electri6ity run through Amplitube.

Thanks all for your answers.
I have heard that the most inportant ingredients in the Mark Knopfler sound is Compressor, Delay, and reverb. And of course as mentioned - Marks fingerpicking style.
Anyone who disagree in this? Or have comments.
Some see Revalver as the best guitar simulator. But does it have as good effects as Amplitube? If I is to use a guitar sim along with Electri6ity it has to have a selection of good effects to get the kind of Mark Knopfler sound i am hoping to achive.

You can't go wrong with Amplitube ACDC used it on two of their songs on the last album. Download the free version of Amplitube and use the Custom shop to trial anything that takes your fancy lots of vintage and modern amps, stomps, cabs, mics in there.
You can read up on guitarists gear on the internet, youtube and then build that effects chain in amplitube and get the same sound but like many say a lot of their sound is in their fingers. For effects racks I prefair Soundtoys effects a lot very nice guitar effects in crystallizer, Phasemistress and Echoboy.
