Sultans of Swing cover (dIRE sTRAITS)

[m4rio0710]

Where can you find a guitar like that and how much would it cost?

[Luknopfler83]

@m4rio0710 Any luthier could do the job. I ordered it from Xavier Petit, in France. It was around 2500 Euros.

[BiaginiAlessandro]

awesome cover, and great tone...I really enjoy it!!!

[Luknopfler83]

@BiaginiAlessandro Thanks very much! :)

[TedBoyRomarino]

Very well played, and you do it with your fingers, not a plectrum, that makes it sound even closer to Grand Genious Mark sound. And the guitar, oh man! You really have a Pensa Custom MK??? I'd be happy just to see one in front of me!

Just one criticism: i think you should play rhythms between the riffs, what do you think about it?

Cheers!

[Luknopfler83]

@TedBoyRomarino Thanks a million! My guitar is not a Pensa, but a copy from the french luthier Xavier Petit.

You're absolutely right, the song is better with the rythm parts in between the solos. I did a more recent version with those (you can click on the video to go my latest cover if you want).

Thanks again and cheers from France!

[jernejblct5]

beautiful playing you are very good

[Luknopfler83]

@jernejblct5 Thanks a million! That's an old cover I made. Funny you comment it now as I just uploaded a more recent version (I was initially thinking you were commenting the new video...). Cheers and thanks a million!

[agublizzard]

I will tell you something, Im really not happy.

I would be happy only If I could play guitar just like u do, enjoy your gift this is a wonderful cover.

[Luknopfler83]

@agublizzard Hey there! Thanks very much for your comment, you're very kind... :)

Richard

[Luknopfler83]

Thanks Richard! I've been loving that song since I was a kid... I'm glad you feel my passion when I play it!

[lukatherknopfler]

you play good, is that the mk pensa?

[Luknopfler83]

Thanks! No, as I've told you on Groovy Blues and as written in the description, it's a guitar made by the french luthier Xavier based on the specifications of the Pensa MK1. Again, thanks for your comment! :)

[dArIcHmAn67]

hey can u tell me where u got ur tabs for the lead part? i can only play the rythm so far! thnx!!!

[Luknopfler83]

Hey! I got the tab from the "Very Best Of Dire Straits" tab book that my fiancée gave me as a present a long time ago! ;)

Did you like it anyway?

[dArIcHmAn67]

[Luknopfler83]

I'm sure you can! Don't know where, but that song shouldn't be hard to fin. Cheers mate!

[GurraScoot]

Cut 5:01 ?

[Luknopfler83]

Yes, actually, there is! I fucked up right at the end, so I decided to record it again. But, as the beginning was ok, I just recorded the end. Did you like it anyway? :)

[fairbayer]

[Luknopfler83]

[MKflo84]

[Luknopfler83]

Salut MKflo et merci ! J'ai eu la mienne en décembre 2008. Donne moi ton adresse en MP si tu veux des photos. J'aimerais bien voir des photos de tes Pensa aussi ! A+

[GHolden11]

Hey man, very good!!! Did you do the whole arrangement?? I heard another great cover of it by a band called the competition. It's in my favourites. Check it out!!

[Luknopfler83]

Thanks for your comment! No, just played the lead guitar. I'll check out the version you talk about.

[GuitarmanMo]

[Luknopfler83]

Thanks mate! I'll check out this version... ;)

[GuitarmanMo]

[Luknopfler83]

Thanks buddy, that's really nice! You're right concerning the rythm, I'll try to post a video with lead and rythm. Slainte! ;)

[GuitarmanMo]

Sláinte!!!! bhfuil tú gaelach????

[Luknopfler83]

[GuitarmanMo]

[Luknopfler83]

Thanx! ;)

[GuitarmanMo]

Oíche Mhaith!! (good nite) an check out that version btw coz its me on my uncles user name comment an rate please. slán ábhaile

[Luknopfler83]

Oiche Mhaith to you! Already checked your version and commented it... ;)

[wanbcwboy]

Modesty my ***!!! That was a kick-*** playing mate! :D Did you learn by ear or came up with tabs? Sure liked it, but from what I can tell, the final part with all that fast picking could be speeded up a bit...just a thought, even though you captured it note for note as far as i'm concerned.

[Luknopfler83]

Hey! Thanks a million for your comment! I've learned it using the tab. Again, thanks! :)

[steeltikenburning]

joli!bien joué!

[Luknopfler83]

Merci beaucoup ! :)

[Luknopfler83]

Hey! Thanks for your comment and your advice! I am planning to record a better version... with the rythmic stuff, coz you're absolutely right, it would sound better! Again, thank you! :)

[knopfleberg]

Very well played mate. one thing to wish for , and maybe for you to work on (just friendly advise, and I'm not trying to be an arse her) is playing all the rythmic stuff that goes on between the licks that wil make it more fluid and raise it from a good 8 out of ten to a perfect 10 ;o)

[Luknopfler83]

Hi! Payed it 2690 Euros. See ya!

[TheWizzard29]

Hi! How much did you pay for that guitar?

[Luknopfler83]

Hey! No, it's a guitar from a french luthier: Xavier Petit. It as the same specs as Knopfler's Pensa-Suhr though. Thanks for your comment!

[azboband]

Well played and spot on! Is that a Pensa-Suhr?
