What an absolutely amazing cover! You're clearly Top Dog, Dave!! So glad to have discovered you through Luca's recommendation of Thalysia and your guitar caught my ear along with her lovely vocals. Wow.
if Mark ever wasnt fit to play, eg a strained hand or whatever, he would simply enlist you Dave and sit and enjoy your renditions and I bet come away a happy camper....
Dave I really enjoyed this! Your tone and the way you play is the best Ive ever heard someone do this song besides MK! Even your vocals are alot like Mark.
I have to say that you are one of my favorite guitarist to watch and listen to on YT! I saw your videos from fabguy44's channel and was blown away! Peace brother!
thought i would stop by, ive always loved this version and i love the yellow strat,if i ever switch to electric im gonna get a yellow one just like yours.
Finally someone who doesn't take himself serious, but who is serious about his guitarplaying, love your tone. This song seems to match with your voice as well.
Phenomenal performance. Dare I say this is the best video I've ever seen on YouTube? Only those willing to wear the headband can truly do this song justice.
SWEET!! Little "clam" there at 4:24, but, I don't think anyone noticed. We all get a little lost sometimes. Freaking great job man, ...beautiful sound and classic tasty licks from Mr. Knopfler, and some of your own too. Thanks for the great playing and singing.
is this live recording? .... or are you playing along with a previously recorded track of yourself? ... anyway, it sounds really good. ...Rock on man! ...great job on that recent collab with prboyd.
If Mark ever needed some one to interpret his music, you are the answer - played with skill, but more importantly, with great feeling and respect, yea my kids are going to want to hear you tomorrow!
Pretty Damn Good job man I'm impressed and that is not easy to do.I also love how you get into character as well.Keep Rockin the Blues message over there in the UK and I'll try and hold'em Down over here in the good ol' USA.
That was brilliant - you made the song your own. There are *so* many Sultans videos on YouTube that just sound like poor copies of MK. This one doesn't, well done!
Maybe a late model squire is more your speed because the strat he is playing is vinatge and is bad ass. So... I'm going to have to disagree with you, this does work quite nicely. I'd like to see you attempt that outro and come anywhere near what his sounds like, he did not miss a note. It is sure easy to criticize people's talents within the comforts of your own home knowing you don't have to put yourself out there for critics to prey on you. Show a little class next time.
Came across your music room vids accidently when browsing. All of them great! I'm a limited guitarist but your choice of covers on here are akin to the ones I'd love to be able to play. Far better then tab watching a master up close! Well done. Inspired me to learn a couple properly. hopefully "Sultans" as I love this track. First time I heard it on Alchemy" I had to go for a 20 min walk... to savour what I'd just heard. Made me breathless! Cheers, keep up good work inspiring guitarists,Grod
WHOA!! O.O!! That was SO sooper COOL!! Great vocals.. Great playing.. Great EVERYTHING!! What a cool video, and what an AWESOME musician! FiVESTARSS!!
Wow if i did not know better i would actually think that was Mark Knopfler. Amazing rendition. I was always fascinated wit this song growing up and made many feeble attempts too play it.
very cool ... it's all in the headband ... lmao but with great respect
