  • YOU ROCKS!

  • Good job, young one.

  • the guitar playing is AWESOME. just too good.. the vocals can be more powerful, but seriously, how can someone dislike this? the guy's got some serious skill

  • Playing is awesome, singing could be stronger - but pitch-wise it's spot on. Well done, I like it.

  • Cool work dude! I've just become a fan!

  • That is top droor

  • Mate amazing cover! I really need to learn that fingerpicking style can only really play the Beatles famous style Julia...Happiness is a warm gun etc...

  • that was awesome man.

  • Ive been looking at the best covers for this song. After listening for months, I can definitely say this is the best of the best. I cant believe people gave 12 thumbs down.

  • mate fuck these arseholes with comments that dont even matter or have anythin to do with what your doing!!!

    because what your doing is top class covers of the best music around and you should be proud of your ability and the work youve put into it all!!

    Great covers mate hope you check out some of our ds covers!!!

    All the best mate!!!

  • The only vid on this cover that has the voice and guitar playing to match. Awesome job man!

  • very nice guitar, beautiful voice. thank you. very powerful version of this song. it's really beautiful.

  • I would fall inlove with you if I got too hear you play like that for me ...that was sooo beautiful, too bad I'm way over in Canada!

  • I could never get tired of hearing that song , I loved how you performed it...you have a beautiful voice and are talented musician!

  • Ey dude. I love Bruce Springsteen and Dire Straits so much :) Would be cool, if you could play more songs of them. You're just great :)

  • Omg. I usually play this song in standard tuning but I'm gonna have to learn it in this one. It sounds beautiful in open G (it probably also didn't hurt that you played it amazingly).

  • Nice job

  • Dude you nearly made me cry listening to you... You rock!!! Keep on!!! I've listened to a lot of covers of this song, and I can say with no doubt your is the best!!!

  • I am speechless. Incredible.

  • Good Stuff

  • yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!

  • Great guitar work, great song!

  • sounds wicked!!!!!!

  • awesome!

  • Very good job!

  • Sweet ^^ totally kickass cover.

  • That's great. I like this song.

  • Wow! Just started to learn how to play this fantastic song and i wonder if i can ever get near to your ability! Absolutly great!

    Greets from Austria!

  • that is fukin class!!!

  • Briljant!

  • wicked man

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Hey there man, nice cover, well done :) Just wondering if you've tried the 5th fret capo'ed version as well, and whether you had any opinion on if it was harder than the Open G version?

  • Unreal...thanks for keeping the "feel" in that cover.

  • Absolutely wonderful performance, this is perfection. At 4'38 I wondered how the ending would go, the song cried out for those piano notes. I thought "oh well, you can't have everything" - but then at 5'18 there they are, you did it! Spine-tingling stuff.

  • this is perfect, the guitar is so awsome!! top job

  • Thanks for your rendition. I liked it very much. Added it to my favourites!

  • what an exellent job man wow !!! great guitar great voice great feel!!!!!!

  • Fantastic.

  • perfect

  • wow man you have talent. love the voice and the guitar sounds amazing. very chill. keep it up mate

  • great cover man!

  • wow you're like a one man band with an amazing voice. Loved it.

  • Fantastic

  • fuck man i tried but couldn't do it. fair play to you mate. hats off

  • X ... :/

  • You dont sing it in your original voice untill chorus right?

    maybe a little personal in the singing and less 'Mark Knoplering' would make it better.

    legendary playing though :)

  • Thanks for not trying to re-invent the wheel. Simpley beautiful.....

    A Taylor GS ???

  • Fantastic. I'm envious of your fingerpicking. Finally nice to see some real talented musicians cover artists here, mostly it's dying cats and woody guthrie strums. Nice job.

  • very nice! sweet.................

  • Domini, thank you so much for this...

    For more than 22 years I have been searching for the little "detail" who could explain why I couldn't play this song as similar as the original one...

    You may think it wasn't so import to me, but it was! Thank you a lot, you're awesome; I'm still keeping my "Open G" tunning for more than a week and playing only this song until now...hehehe..

  • AMAZING !!!

  • Great Work

  • That was amazing! You're sooooooo good!

    I really want to learn this song is there anyway that you could make a lesson?

  • Second that! Full-song lesson would be grat...

  • i think this is amazing, i love this song so much, and have been listening to a few covers on here, but this is byyy farrr the best one. your amazing!

  • that's what i wanted to hear...

  • Eres muy bueno, me encantas!!!

    Creo que soy tu primer fan en México

  • speechless, good job

  • The absolute best/truest version of this great song that appears anywhere here on You Tube or anywhere else! It ain't debatable! Done! Pau! Finis! Sayonara! Adios! Au Revoir! Aloha! Auf Weidersehen! Beat it, losers!

    Dominic, look for my message off-line, and keep on truckin' braddah! You're WAY skilled!

  • have no words!! amazing! great job!

  • great job dude... :D

    u are really talented

    keep rocking...

  • great performance my friend, superb, well done!!

  • incredible!

    best cover of this song on youtube, that's for sure!

  • great! I have good time!!

  • are you the brother of mark knopfler ; )

  • no way - dude! its the guy that does the ryan adams songs. Buddy we have similiar taste in music! Cool. Keep it up!

  • man you do it amaizing.. it's the best cover i ever heard for this song man..

    please help me with this song.

    i beg you. my girlfriend love this song so mach...... :/

  • wow, what a great job. The only suggestion I would have is using a mic if you can get your hands on one. Your voice is definitely the right tone for the song though, so I would try to sing it any louder. Excellent!

  • don't forget to tune the bottom e to a d so you can get the bass note for the first chord.

  • It's in open G tuning. Open G has the bottom E string tuned to D.

  • totally nailed it - i'm jealous as hell

    obviously using open tuning

    this means i'll have to start from scratch - doh!

  • wow, really wonderful cover

  • let me tell you you have played this wonderfulllly. i just love the way you have played it. just wanted to know why has evryone used a capo for this? and can one play without it?

  • hi can you please post a tutorial of the intro of this song?

  • Excellent cover!

  • dominichazell... I've been tried to follow your performance, but doesn't match... Maibe it's another way to adjust the strings or something... but my standart adjustment didn't work. Is that "D" tone?

  • I think he uses a different tunning. Mark Knopfler himself picks a new guitar when he

    plays this nr.

    Anyway it is so immpressive one guitar but

    sounds like several instruments.

  • Thats the magic of Open G. This is played in Open G. Although you can try playing it in Standard tuning it will not sound the same. Open G is magic. I love it. Check my version of Beast of Burden.

  • Nice.

  • great cover m8, just started learning it today

    great job at it , flawless

  • This is a cover version I never thought I'd find... awesome technique, flawless and beautiful from vocals to guitar work.

  • Hi !

    You play very well, i'm a fan ! I hope you understand my bad english. Continue like this, it's excellent. See you soon.

  • Wow... good playing. Very inspiring. I wish I could play it like you... I have a LOOONG way to go before I can do this.

  • so effortlessly played. great job

  • Well done my friend:) Keep up the good work.

  • GOOD~!!!!

  • Absolutely Not, I AM GOOD... He is VERY, VERY GOOD. Congratulations... The accords are very close to the original.. Just pay attention to the rhythm, sometimes he do a little bit faster, a little bit slower...

  • Yeah, I like him very much, even like egg!

  • he looks like an egg..

  • omg lol thats true

  • it's true. I do. oh well, not much I can do about that. In Vietnam, they called me Mr Potato Head. I've been bald for years, I've heard it all before. Does it bother me? On a good day no, on a bad day yes. What do you look like? And does it matter?

  • im not being horrible or anything but you look alot better bald than with hair, just my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • @swevsdk HA-HA I just checked your profile picture out..you look like man in drag!! you got a cheek! I thought all women from Sweden were supposed to be beautiful! something went wrong with your DNA didn't it!! HA-HA!!

  • @bigpaul1980

    wow ain't that nice. I'm not from Sweden though dumbass.

    luckily for you, British men have a reputation for being drunk and ugly, so you're pretty average.
