  • This is one of the hardest songs I have learnt, I have been playing 2 year or so, 25years on keyboard, but started guitar 2 year ago, and this song is the one that took the longest to learn, to get every little bit down right it is hard work man, their are still parts I am not 100% on. dire striates was the best band ever, all of marks stuff was hard to play, I started on nirvana which seemed easy compared to straits, do U know anyone that is selling a sf dr or sf pr ?

  • @UKToneKing gee thanks for your insight and anecdote ..as far as as what's for sale I think shipping may take the bite out of the deal ..

  • @stvolo I have got a bassman 100 off a friend, 1971, great sounding amp, for 100 watts it is not as loud as my 40 w HRDx, older amps are not as loud, which is better for me, as I can have it on 4 in the garage easy, great sounding amp, I really love the tone, I don't think U could buy a better amp for the money, PTP hand wired great

  • lass die hüften Krachen Opa.... :)

  • ya MaGorSeven if I can't remember the words I make 'em up .. sometimes they just stick.. it's amusing but some don't get the joke .. they're purists following the same trail .. me I jam.

    @ toSteveSchwartz life affirming... yes it is .. what marks this performance and my music today is the dedication to the art and my good humour.. thank you

  • @stvolo Cool dude... you rock!

  • "...sniffin' white lines and asking where all the money went" Hilarious!!!

  • Loved it! Mesmerized, intrigued, inspired, relieved, amused. This is some life affirming stuff! I am working on this tune, and giving myself a year to get it in my head and fingers. Once it's there, I'm giving it another 10 to keep it in my heart. Thanks for posting this! I just loved it!

  • Hello Steve I am a fan of yours here in Brazil ... I charm with their singing and interpreting, I travel with you.

    I would love to play and interpret a Brazilian music, it would be a great honor. A big hug. Te amo.

  • @zurpan very kind my friend .. think of me when you want to give up .. and just keep going ..

  • your old, your still good though

  • @REIDSRAGE yeah it's like that when you get old if you really like it you get better .. hope it works for you .. just thank the universe for your talent .. and play everyday .. when I was a kid I had a hard time coming to grips with getting old until I said I bet I can remain on stage in the spotlights till i'm past 70 .. plan for it .. don't stress ..pay cash ..

  • Großartig, das macht richtig Spaß!

  • Shit Grandpa this is the best version I've seen one on this thing. "Old Guys Rock" (I should talk) Really nice.

  • Thanks for the memmories, you're great!

  • Sensational and to me beyond criticism I can't believe this guy entertains us with this and people actually leave negative comments unbelieveable

  • Well TAPlastic some only know how to be shocking .. that's what they try to portray their ultra -me sense of humor .. it looks great on kiddies sites but this is for adults .. there that will blast 'em

  • Brilliance

  • you are great Steve, been watching your stuff for a while, love to listen , you got talent, Jim

  • well i have herd thousands play this over the years ,and there has been some good ones , but you ,are brilliant , you play brilliant ,no you are not mk ,you are as good ,and would love to see the both of you together , keep doing it ,as the mood takes , many thanks

  • a guest on Mark Knofler's stage would be a fantastic recognition, but I don't need that

    I've got you all on YOUTUBE the feedback and comments are invigorating...

  • Love this !!!! brilliant... you're a good musiscian steve...I admire you :) nice job

    It's just so much fun to watch you playing and singing as if you never did anything else. I hope I'll be as vital as you are when I'm at your age.

    Best wishes from Germany, Patrick.

  • my secret is respect the music know your limits and try to surpass your best. I'm still gigging learning new songs I'm a regular at a Karaoke club I'm always learning something new.

  • Nice

  • Your version sound really good one of the BEST , after Mark Knoffler' of course , I enjoyed that feel you inject into that song!!!******

  • Hey Steve- Zenwaiter again. People think you are drunk? Hahahaha, they just dont realize how loose you are, au natural, you lived your life with that guitar around your neck. You hang loose baby! LOVE YA!

  • Grande!!!

  • Steve You are Great bu Yourself, thanx for comment back, I appreciate it so much, I will try to translate it to my son, we do not speak enough english, since we are mexicans, Are You from Montréal???

  • @jesusmiravete yes Montreal the beautiful.. thank you for your comments Merci

  • You are not drunk!!!

  • wow should I be? been there done that .. you seem surprised? but thanks for commenting it's always refreshing to read ...

  • that rocks!

  • TUA MADRE EVA !!! sei un genio !  U GREAT

  • oh ma che stile!

  • nice, make Mark knopfler look an amature :P

  • not bad 'cept the lyrics you got a lot of them wrong and u kinda sound like randy newman

  • yeah lyrics I've memorized quite a few and I do get them mixed up, dont worry I don't let the details spoil or stop a performance unless it makes me look real bad. If I stumble I must pick myself up and carryon like it was all part of the plan .. to you I sound like Randy Newman but to Randy who do I sound like?

  • With all due respect sir, you are more vivacious then some recent MK performances!

  • ayoyé .. I'm not in competition with MK I just play his song it will never be my song.. but as performance my band mates and I have played it more than quite a few times and it's always a hit!!

    I really appreciate your comment... have you heard the Sultans revisited on this channel?

  • great performance :)

  • Parabens(Congratulations)!!

  • Version Cool :)

  • DUDE, AWSOME!!!

  • Muy bueno!!

    Great!!

  • 5* if you start singing without the laughing in it, overall great work

  • thanks for your comment only a very small percent of viewers actually make comments .. and I will try to get back to your best lines..

  • I love DIre Straits and I love you too. WOW !!!

  • Dude ure freakin awesome a

  • great cover!!! long live dire straits!!

  • GREAT!!!  awsome solo!.. keep it up!

  • he missed a lot of notes

  • true.... let's compare

  • that's for sure .. it's the big picture and a complete song I'm after when i make video... a live performance is very unforgiving. You must remain focused at all times. I I mix up words or don't do the solo note for note that's what get's recorded .. the viewer sees the best take .. that's life son, you like it?

  • Better than the original! Keep up the good work.

  • psokaspaskoa!!!!

    Féra mais é engraçado^^

  • can somebody translate this?

  • great voice and guitar playing,i wish i could play like that :)) keep on rking man

  • @matheus2141 DoN,t know what you are so offensed about if you play guitar as good as you Influences :Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Petrucci, Syn Gates, Dimebag Darrel, James Hetfield, Paul Gilbert, M.Shadows (wow, a vocalist? HE ROCKS!) then you don't need to call me an idiot .. but I doubt you have you 10 000 hours put into the craft .. remember I sing and play the guitar .. give us your latest brazilian solo

  • @matheus2141 hey kid you're entitled to your opinion ... but i think you are faking it as a reviewer one liners aren't enough on YouTube .. I challenge you to produce your own video .. been on your channel can't find your efforts anywhere ..

  • Stvolo,

    Congrats! It is very beautiful solo. Do you actually finger-pick? I couldn't see. Maybe you could just no move so much, let it to the dancing crew. You are the master, just check Mark playing it :) Just kiddin, I like it very much. Keep Rocking U.

    Luke

  • fingerpicking not exclusively as MK.... I use a pick but I'm able to use stroking and plucking with pick and fingers. good to take the edge of the rythmn.. I also can cup the pick and roll with the fingers don't drop picks much .. no dancing crew here just me so I keep moving ..

  • Graashh!! Great perfomance thanks!!!

  • yeahhh you are the sultan of swing. Damned. Nice play, like verry much, with style... fine fingher touch. amazing... good job. Ed

  • nice man :D
