  • mark clone? plays n sounds exactly like him.

  • Pulito come Mark, In alcuni passaggi anche più fluido di lui, ottimo.

  • Exellent! 5 stars!

  • You sound propa like Mark Knopfler!

    And your guitar sound is spot on like his too

  • 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.

  • AWESOME, dave !!! grtz kurt-begium !!!

  • guitar, good. Voice, not so much

  • 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.

    BEN-jamin'

  • 5 *wicked as you ever were best wishes Lindamac x

  • Better than Dire Straits themselves !!

  • Hi, are you the twin from Mark ?.

  • Brilliant, well done

  • Incredible performance, bravo, very nice.

  • great!

  • absolutely great! you play solos with heart and closed eyes...like MK

    thank you

  • 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!

  • and then the real guy shows up.

  • I rarely make comments around here, but this one was really worth my praise, you are spot on.

    This video left me amazed, keep up the goo work!

  • a real pleasure to watch this vid. congratulations sir dave!

  • Dave your singing is spot on, and your playing is tops!

  • more proof you don't need to play a millions notes or be an angry bastard to make good music.....Nice

  • 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.

  • Awesome stuff!!!

  • 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!

  • fantastico!!!

  • Great performance.You are original rocker.

    What model is this Fender?

  • Very nice sir. Sounds exactly dead on to their first album.

  • What reverb pedal ya using? Sounds real good!

  • doghousedave, greetings from Sweden. Great performance, with a cool style and a sweet sound. Professional with a touch of humour and class.

  • Lol, Anrei. He does it with his fingers.

    The sound is in the fingers!!

    The reverb etc. is just texture. Try a Fender using middle&neck pickup together through a clean amp with a bit of spring reverb.

  • Can anyone please tell me how do you get that blues sound from your guitar? Greetings

  • Go buy a fender strat. Get a good effects pedal. put it on some bass :P

  • Single coils.

    Fender tube amp.

    Spring reverb from your fender amp.

  • Wow you can sound like anybody from Billy Gibbons to Mark Knopfler, you're definately one of the most versatile players I've seen. Rock on dude.

  • Definitely one of the better covers of this awesome song, thanks for sharing.

  • 5 star :P

  • graet performance, you deserve our appreciation 5 stars!

  • Superb!

  • Well done

  • Holy shit ! what a great rendition !....not only that, you look like Mark !.....you have a new fan here !

  • !!!!!!!!! You CAN SING TOOO WOOOOW !!!!

  • That was excellent.. note perfect!

  • You definately have the chops brother. Always love your pieces. This one you have nailed man, right down to the headband.

  • Cool ~ man!!!

  • do Money for nothin' PLEASE ????

  • you are a true guitar veteran

  • 3439ra i think ra stands for retarded ass, notice u dont have any videos , maybe ur mom had to sign in for you on the pc

  • that's the way you do it!

  • money for nothing and chicks for free?

  • 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.

  • i keep comin back to this what an awesome jam love it cant get enough, i think its my favorite electric jam of all time

  • Excellent man....just excellent

  • 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

  • Spectacular.

  • 5*****

  • Great playing.

    Your guitar sounds incredible!

  • Beautiful

    "And says at last, just as the time bell rings"

    Oh dear, Dave, please remember to ring the bell...I mean..the guitar should sound like a bell after those lyrics. +4 to you.

  • that was awesome.

  • mis respetos desde sudamerica amigo

  • :O love your strat!

  • 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.

  • Duh...it is a rendition I now read! Love it!!!

  • Is this Mark Knopfler or you doing a rendition?

    I had the pleasure of meeting him once in Nashville, TN. This guitar playing still blows me away! If this is you, you are masterful!

  • awesome!
