A Great Cover To An Even Greater Song...Well Done

[julezdu45]

Very very nice !!!

You really play fantasticly , RESPECT !

12/10 ;)

[coolfat1]

Dude You are great!!!Amazing guitar and iterpretation of the song!!!!

[mduckworth]

dire straits played it this quickly in some live performances, very good 5 stars

[Cloxxki]

Do you do parties and weddings? A nice carreer awaits you there. Good Knopfler style players are rare. At least on Youtube. I'm going to check your 140 other vids now :-)

[TheCannonbore]

Great =D

[Derekjcb]

What is the pickup setting?

[gizmomatel]

well done :)

[jwahh]

It's not perfect but it's pretty damn close. Not exactly an easy riff. Nice playing.

[Arnold1117]

While it does somewhat lose that Dire Straits feelin', you should also think about the fact that each guitarist has their own style of playin'. He doesn't play exactly like like Knopfler but he is very close. Price has a similar style and is extremely good but he is not Mark Knopfler therefore I wouldn't expect him to play like Knopfler. That's just Price's style. Great job in my opinion. Love all of your videos

[ustickx]

pretty amazing playing but it misses the laid back schmooze of dire straits - this song must be played slowly!!!!

[dougrmoe]

Hi Stefan,  I thought it was almost exact (tempo of course) but the tone was very very close to Mark Kn. - your a great player. I found this video when I eas looking to see a copy of this as my friends and I are going to cover this song

Keep Rocken!

[sansui77]

Ok my honest opinion. It was not all that pleasing to the ears. What was the rush for? Were you in a hurry to take a piss or something? I know you can play good but you should have slowed down and that would have relaxed you abit more. All these rushing creates mistakes and sounds like crap. Don't be offended. Viewers don't red mark me either.

[wildwit]

I think this is not a cover for the studio version, if you listen to the early live bootlegs like the "live in philadelphia" all the songs have that speed...

Mark forever.....

[gualty86]

What a performance!! This is just great!! Can I ask you please which pickups u have on your Strat to get that lovely clean sound?? Thank u again!!

[fazil69]

Congratulations! Very well performed...

[Slimjimzz]

too fast yes :). but you are pretty amazing on that guitar, so that really makes up for it. And you sing pretty decent too, considering Mark K. really wasn't that great a singer in my opinion

[localhero635]

Great!

[strancess]

it's a nice video !

[heersam06]

hey man u r da closest to emulating marks style and the notes are nearly perfect,,great playing and keep up the hard work,,do u tab??if ya cud tab me the sultans of swing live version solo parts,and down to the waterline??

big thaks from morocco

[alcam100]

Righto, each to their own. Loved your sultans cover. Are you playing the MK strat?

[alcam100]

Nailed the sound pretty much, but too quick?

[StefanPriceUK]

Not too fast, I don't really do the studio versions.

[EnlightenedStudio]

A red stratocaster with a pearl pickguard is the most awesome thing in the world.

[oscarbastos]

congratulations, my friend. very good job!!!!!!!!!!

[diabuuu]

omg, you're amazing :)

[LeilaFranca]

Great! Amazing Stefan, very nice voice

[moot8u]

[dibble123]

[simplestwayrock]

Thanks.

Sei un Grande you are GREAT

[klutz94306]

[StefanPriceUK]

[albanmoriniere]

Ouaw, very good cover, a bit fast maybe.. but it's so great, thanks !!!

[DrewStoneRoses]

thats amazing!

[ROBYRH4]

fantastic!!!!!!

[rockguy36]

This is MK in disguise...its too perfect every nuance, every note. Lessons for me Stefan?

[StefanPriceUK]

NO, lol.

[bryanswagerty]

Sorry if this is obvious but are you in The Next Train?

[StefanPriceUK]

Nothing I do is based on the Studio recordings, apart from the odd thing here and there. ITS THE RIGHT EFFING SPEED fort the versions I listen to, VERY rare versions that you don't know.

[kazmiog]

Man Stop Defending. Youre good!!!!

Damn,wish I could play like that!!!!

Keep Rocking!!!

[catseyes08]

use a metronome then you're ok?

[dany4kin]

Ah man I just love 2.42 that is sweet as pie... You're a role model for the phrase "Nothing is Impossible" Good luck to you mate...! Notch up another fan here.

[StefanPriceUK]

Its not too fast, I have said over and over again that the live versions which I base myh versions on are the same speed, 1979-1980.

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

well its much quicker than the cd version... cant deny that ;) still really cool... and some great ideas in there.

[julescousteau]

i think very good but just a little fast

why running man?? ;)

Great job nice

[martinclapton]

Absolutely amazing, don't listen to those wining fellows, it's clear that they have never heard this song played live before. very nice.

[xboa721]

the voice is incredible. brilliant. just brilliant!

[freshgreens2006]

just terrific!!!

[menephes]

wow! someone who not also plays the right chords doing a D.S cover, but also uses the volume control as well, very refreshing, Much Enjoyed :) Excellent!!

[StefanPriceUK]

The speed is right, I base nearly all of my covers on live versions, and the live versions of this song are as fast if nit faster than this.

The speed is FINE, THANK YOU.

[varun588]

your guitaring is sexy dude..but the speed kinda ruins the song..

[dobro8]

good ! :D but too Fast !!

good Job ! :D

[ColinHEdwards]

Excellent Mate, Very Impressive, nearly as good as the Man himself.

[cacophonix]

Absolutely fantastic Stefan....really amazing

[Shail990]

great!!

the playing is great and the singing too :)

[thekidjames]

It may be a little fast but, dude your voice sounds just like Mark Knopfler.Also you have all of the pickin down. I've been working on this song for a long time and I know how hard those licks are to pull off and make sound right. Good job

[pushmatrix]

The thing you do @ 2:42 kicks ass! Nicely done.

[StefanPriceUK]

ITS NOT A PERFOMANCE, I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU TUBE, yes its fast, its in a living room and was a quick practice which was recorded as we were trying out a new camera.

If you have got to post such negative stuff, you are obviously jealous.

[StefanPriceUK]

Part 2.

Or a left index finger which has a crushing injury where the nerve and tendon has been damaged, tendonitis in both hands, and severe RAYNAUDS so that even in the summer my hands are like ice, when they warm up the blood get trapped and they got FAT, its like playing with false rubber hands.

My hands are weak and ruined, you haven't got bust hands have you, well lets see you play it and sing in an English accent.

[StefanPriceUK]

PART 1.

Lets see you play it then k00gan, you probably haven't got a withered right index finger that is half numb, hardly bends, with lumps on the joints, or a left 3rd finger where the bone has been smashed and has shortened, suffered nerve damage, and is weak and painful because it dosen't it dosen't bend in the right place.

[spudscaduto392]

very nice

[StefanPriceUK]

k00gan if you had read the tag it says "I know its too fast" but who cares Mark plays stuff faster and slower look at In the gallery live, its a lot faster, look at Sonni Liston its a lot slower live, who cares, it just me and my dad in the corner of a friends house trying out the video camera, IT AIN'T a concert.

[k00gan]

As a fan I find that speed annoying with so few feeling... it sounds like a quite-mechanical uptempo reproduction of DS song...

Just wondering where DS soul is.

(And sorry for my bad english, it's not my mother tongue.)

[k00gan]

Too fast... :(

[perdiamotempo]

bravo. Complimenti

[StefanPriceUK]

This is based on various live versions not the studio versions, this is the same with nearly everything, check out the live versions of this from 1979 etc, he plays in a much more snappy way, not the laid back feel on the studio versions.

[265117]

Impressive, but I miss the Knopfler feeling. In other postings from you you got it.

Great playing anyway!

[StefanPriceUK]

You might be able to find something on the internet?

Even the published books are wrong though.

[eirejono]

wow. that was incredible. youve got a natural feel to it. i pretty much have the same guitar. lol. ive been looking for some decent tabs to this song for ages! you any ideas where id find them??

[7ulppu]

nice

[HippyD]

fuckin groovy man

[nickstar]

Great sound! Love the guitar, mainly because I own the same, hehe.

[rdoogie]

Very cool! Great dynamics. Dynamic guitar playing really sets Mark Knopfler apart from lots of other guitarists who play each note with nearly the same attack. Excellent job capturing the subtlety of Knopfler's feeling. Thanks!

[dany4kin]

Just fantastic

[knopflerbest]

You're a magic player. It's a little too fast, but very very well played. Incredible. go on like that
