[fIRsTRATmAN]

youve got the touch man. Enjoyed your playing very much

[fIRsTRATmAN]

Very good

[xxxSCHANDMAULxxx]

one word ---- > AMAZING !!!! u recorded this 2 years ago,so you r 19 now ? upload some new stuff !!!

[liftedcj7on44s]

I have to say other than not planting your ring finger you are awesome. Lovin the bits from the Live version you did.

I was very impressed with your playing though and you have the Clawhammer picking down pat.

[tiepido]

Well done man... well done...

[totost1]

hello, very good sound on the second position, what is your strat and pickups (souds like custom 69) thanks

[paydeqesoiran]

amazing man

[emgab]

this is a complete breath of fresh air - very impressive -

once i closed my eyes i heard Mark playing at his best - got goose bumps all over and a bright smile on my face - you really play the best interpretion of Marks solo, i've heard her on UT -

keep up your good work and all the best for a bright future !

kind regards Mike, from Mannheim, Germany

[lukatherknopfler]

Very nice!!, sounds great, check my improvised version of sultans of swing

[cdorresteijn]

Dunne is a pseudonym for Knopfler? :D

[ChapterVIII09]

@cdorresteijn haha thanks :) 

[dany4kin]

Come on admit it, you learnt it all from me.... Ok, maybe not. Really nice touch, some Knopfler 'inspired' people just don't get it. I think you do. If you're ever in London let me know, jam sesh for sure. Really good.

[ChapterVIII09]

@dany4kin Ahh thanks man... im actually going to london in october to music uni so we could probably have a jam then haha "P

[zoom9010]

Veramente una bella interpretazione bravo.

Ciao

Very good playing man.you got the Knopfler impro style.I´m amazed how you make a Fender strat(it looks like, at least) sound like the pensa suhr.So young and with this level,you have a great future.Keep on the good working!

[andreu1616]

What scale do you use? Natural minor?



[ChapterVIII09]

@andreu1616 yeh there are elements of natural minor, pentatonic and small hints of diminished runs but tbh I don't think of it like that.. i listen to the chords and try to compliment them in a knopflerish way

[pipon55]

The bending sounds exactly like him! I like this live version style you play. Fantastic! :D

[rockolav]

great sound wats the amp.....

[ChapterVIII09]

@rockolav cheers:] its a Fender hotrod deluxe valve amp

[CssMultiGamer]

wtf thats fucking nice oh what things like that you can play by ear you have a big talent

[Daska85]

All I can say is WOOOW... That's what I call guitarplaying=D I seen alot of SOS covers, and this is right at the top. Some "MK-guitarist" are good, but always have show of. You´ve found a great balance in this one... Keep it up, man=D

[Rockguy29]

This is PERFECT,

I am also a self learned guitar player but not half as good on this solo. :) :((

[warmink1973]

The best cover I have seen...

Keep on playing!

Cheers,

Dimi(tri)

[ChapterVIII09]

@warmink1973 cheers.. much appreciated :) ... mike

[bdsilva1]

you're excellent!..and you're just...17..???

Why don't you enter the competition on the puresolo website...the first prize is a mentoring session with none other than MK himself!

You'll definitely have my vote for sure! Great opportunity, and Sultans is one of the songs you can play. But hurry....there isn't much time!

Check out the puresolo website...

All the best!!

[lucaso082]

excellent job man it must be the best cover ive seen so far

two questions how long have you been playing guitar?? , Is it a fender stratocaster the guitar you're playing with? THANKS FOR Making great music!

[ChapterVIII09]

@lucaso082 hey! thanks for the comment, very much appreciated :) I've been playing for about 8 years and yeh its a mexican fender strat, don't listen to people when they say the mexican-made ones are better than the american ones, its all crap :P

[JU4N4]

[SjinT]

Still amazing, I would like the see a full cover of a live version.

[pesic83]

[MrIantodd]

damn you Mike! why do you have to be so good! btw the solo from "perfect" wasn't the same without you :)

[2307nike]

nice! you have a great future, i guess

[MoroccanFurniture]

Cool , nice touch...keep it up

[PeeNoYaKo]

Nice one man!

[4everknopfler]

awesome playing, what type of amp do you use? ive tried getting my guitar sound the same but ive only got a 15watt gear4music one. oh btw im from birmingham :D

[ChapterVIII09]

hey .. thanks for the comment :) .. yeh i use a fender deluxe 100watt valve amp so you really get the power behind some of those notes and also it has an amazing presence level with it as well ... so for tone thats really the best to use really, and its also great for funk and jazz. Birminghams the place to be haha :D

[localhero635]

Great playing!

Your finger picking is very similar to Mark!

[RomSteack]

omg ! great man

[DogSwede1]

One of the best covers I've seen on YouTube.

5 stars

[DanijelSL]
