  • OMG its that fake ? its like mark .

  • JUST UN-BE-LIE-VABLE!!!!

  • Holy shit that was good.

  • That was fcking awesome, ( pardon my french ) my hear proper sunk when I heard your playing, made me feel like I was shit basically lol that was epic, that is the best cover on yourtube easy, U got every single little bit perfect, not many can do that like mark period, their are some good covers online, but none of them get all the fiddle bits right like U have done, that was totally great, I thought U had done some kind of JEDI MIND TRICK from 0.00 to 4.45, felt like one.

  • i like how it's cover of the live version (alchemy) sounds identical

  • Ok, before you comment search for the much much better "Sultans of swing edit by Stefan Price".

  • I get lots of posts on here, and yes I know its fast and crappy but its from about 5 years ago and I was at someones house trying to get it recorded quickly in order to take it to a tv show on dvd. There is a much better version from about 3 years ago if you look. I'm playing an orange schecter. I think I called it Sultans edit, it much better.

  • nice job m8, but sounds a bit rushed

  • Good Man - nice playing - keep it up

  • Why aren't you on stage with Knopfler... ?!?

  • MAN PLEASE START AN AWESOME BAND AND MAKE SONGS W/ ESPETACULAR LYRICS AND TOUR ALL OVER THE WORLD AND CHANGE YOUR FUCKING NAME AND... keep being awesome. Awesome cover

  • you are strong...very strong...

    

  • just the same voice as mark

  • wooow man !!!! you are amazing !!!

  • Hats off to you Sir! Have you acquired some of Mr Knopfler's DNA and hybridised your genome??? I think I'll go out in the garden and set fire to my lovely old Tokai Springy Soung strat (only kidding!). Excellent playing, although at somewhat high speed....how do you keep up with yourself ? A pleasure to listen to someone who really can call themselves a guitarist. Do you gig anywhere round Birmingham??

  • great voice and great guitas playin'... awesome :)

  • great!! you're really fast! Can you see my video of SOS? You find it in my channel! thank you! Daniele

  • fucking insane you sound excatly like mark.. and beautiful guitar playing good sir.. i envy you.

  • The F*CKING same voice of Mark ! *o*

  • Great continuity in your finger-picking attack and phrasing for improv-excellent,man!!! Thanx for posting!

  • amazing! :)

    

  • tempo is tooo fast man but u r awesome :D

  • The tempo is way too fast and he still tears it up without any trouble

  • davvero bravo, anche la voce, peccato per l'audio!!

  • is that a mexican stratocaster? it looks just like mine but mine doesent have a rosewood fret board

  • your playing this like a banjo dude but it is good anyways

    

  • @airbuscaptain2000 its called finger picking. That's how Mark played, as well as many other player. If you play the guitar, you should invest time in learning how to finger pick. It can pay off.

  • lots of potential... slow down a little, and a little more feeling for the groove... and then u r perfect! ;) cheers mate

  • fantastic

  • sounded great....just too fast

  • GENIAL

  • :O :O :O :O

  • Perfect !

  • your the man

  • yeah!!!! gooooood playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No kidding ! MK looking guy having voice of MK is doing MK song !!!! What a strange world !!!!

  • this version is live from "alchemy"?the original vocal tracks is better

  • Just Great man.

  • knopler has that monotone voice that sounds mundane but yet few can copy it. You nailed it !

  • This sounds really good :D one thing i notice though... *bounce bounce bounce*

  • You are just a little bit more than perfect!!

  • Are you a cousin of Mark?

  • You are an increadible player Stefan.... this is as close to Mark Knopfler as anyone can ever get. I heard many covers and tribute bands of such and most very good..... but this knocks them all down!.... amazing player and a bit of your own in there too!

  • ure simply fantastic

  • This world needs artist like you

  • @Antoni2u

    It could be interesting for you to see another Stephan videos (where he is playing with a band...)

    He is an amazing guitarist. In this video any guitar player could recognize a player of an incredible quality

  • Good!

  • è fantastico, super, live

  • Buenisimo amigo.... un estifo perfecto.

  • Awesome technique.

  • Wow ! I really like your work here ! Ö

    You play almost exactly like Mark !

    This is awesome ! ;D

  • YOU'RE A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Complimenti dall'Italia...

  • Man, I can't believe that I have not known you till now!

    You are playing awesome! Have you ever played for MK?!

  • man..... youre really amazing....

    its incredible the feeling that you put in the solo...

    great work man....

    wish i could play like that some day ^^

  • Wish i had the red strat! - Comments appreciated on my live version

  • nice guitar man. congratulations

  • hail to the King Stefan !!! really... absolutely the best Knopfler tribute on the net !! not just on guitar but also the voice !! perfect in every sense ! I made the mistake of doing a Money for nothing cover and a guy asked me the tabs and thought I was playing it right... well.. I told him to check out your vids, because it's best to learn from the best... and that's you !!! well done !!!!

  • Haha I didn't know people from the U.K. said "ain't" but awesome cover Stefan. I've been a big fan of all your covers you've done but I'd have to say this is my favorite. You're a huge inspiration to me and other guitar players everywhere so keep it up man. I wouldn't have even tried to learn how to finger pick if it wasn't for seein' your videos so thanks!

  • nice dude !

  • this is by far the best cover I have ever heard

  • your great stefan !

  • Amazing version! What kind of Bare Knuckle pickups do you use?

  • ei velho parabens. muito bom ...  very good. congratulations.

  • wow good!! version "sultans of swing live"

  • Dang.. that was sweet!

  • Bravissimo.....just few little mistakes but for the rest FANTASTIC.....

  • Great Cover!

  • Im loving the sweat band on your wrist :)

  • porażka

  • OMFG VERYYYYYYY GOOOD

  • Amazing cover!

  • äh, ROFL?!

    just opened this vid, went to desktop, heart the music and thought "lol, wrong vid, isn't a cover, but live,..." lol

    5*

  • @Euleh i didnt rofl

  • wow! just like mark knopler

  • nailed it! quality!

  • Great technique and feeling !

  • Are you and Mark related ? Seriously man that was so good.

  • excelent

  • this is amazing, u sound just lik mark knopfler

  • woohoo 5 * man :DDD great cover

  • Straight off Alchemy Live, replica performance even down to the rocking motion MK style of playing. All we're missing is Terry Williams hammering away at those drums. Great effort!

  • ma fai schifo

  • I would really like to see you an Mark playing together!...

  • i couldnt ever do that lol

  • to have this tech of knopfler, you may be a fan, who has started to learn that tech very long time ago. Fingers pick, right and left hand super ! of course too much speed , but great imitation

    difficult to do you own things, with that sort of playing.

    sorry for the english

    superbe

    congrats from Paris

  • tabs Please`?

  • you sir are amazingly talented!

  • nice cover, 5/5 stars :D

    Reo

  • Great job!!

    Very good guitar player. Maybe the song was played too quickly to groove, but it was really good.

    Thanks.

  • Major talent! Way to go Stefan!!

  • The voice is almost as amazing as the guitar playing. Two thumbs up, man.

  • Agree - that is a *very* good imitation of MK!

  • YESSSSSSSS

  • Sometimes it's too fast, but I think you know that. But you're a fuckin good guitarist, I'm keen on your cover! Nice style, nice play...

  • Esta es la mejor version y lo mas cercano a M.K.

  • thumbs up to you, my friend :D 5/5

  • there is another guitar playing in the background..

  • :-o ... just...AMAZING!!!

  • your fingers are barely moving

  • Stefan- u've got to stop playin with ur Dad (haha)and get a band-dyo have one? what they called?

  • awsom

  • very good - and i mean very good - well done

  • Is this guy related to Knopfler. Absolutely brilliant playing. Its one thing to do the odd lick from this song but to do the whole thing and get your timing to 99% is awesome. great stuff.

  • very nice!Can you post the tabs please..!

  • your amazing! play the john mayor version of MJ's Human nature, i bet your better than him xx

  • I might just try that sometime! when I first saw your post I thought it said John Major, (ex Prime minister), LOL.

  • might be the best cover i have ever heard of any song

  • very good job, dude... individual style... nice guitar... good voice cool fingerpicking... dire straits are premium class... you too, bro! 5 stars
