[kareleitel73]

bien goodd super eh creo ta buiena la chamba

[arceface]

This guy is called The Hoochie Coochie Mancunian. He is really good and busks around Manchester England quite often.

[hjalmarBuoi]

gotta love street musicians

[mildROCKER26]

lol..free concert



[DaveInBridport]

I would've put £5 in his hat!

[04241011713]

como puede haber 19 personas q no les gusta esto, esto es talento callejero, talento de q da Dios a pesar de no tener recursos economicos, asi lo hagn mal, eso hay q apoyarlo!

[tmoodyband]

The tone on that guitar sounds really good

[posthastey]

Backing tracks??? What a dork.

[olliearl]

There's nothing dreadful at all about this guy, These guitars bits are good. Anybody who rags on a musician has a really sad mind.

[itampinha]

he sounds like Homer Simpson!!!!!

[JaySkaBoomUK]

I was in Manchester a few years back. I watched this guy for about 45 minutes, gave him a fiver and went to meet my family. I know no one put money in his hat there but the day I was there it was all notes and a lot of them, and in honesty he deserves every penny of it.

[T800SeriesModel101]

HAHA fair play to him but hes dreadful.

[aris17561]

where is this place ?

[AndrewPhilipWild]

This guy in in Manchester, UK ... he rocks Market Street most lunchtimes during the summer.

[paygi110709]

I love this guy!!

[PrimoSkeeter1904]

[d1p70]

Hey, check out "Cat puppets and homeless guy on nyc subway" on youtube. It's awesome!

[immatypewholike2lite]

I would give him 20 $ dollar right now!

[TheRuckus75]

Nobody gave him cash for that? Pretty good

[Satanhimselv]

HAHAHAHAH the guy at the background at 0:20

[Kristalyviz]

Yess!! Nice Guitar Tone!

[localhero635]

His guitar sound has great soul.

[posthastey]

Never give money to a dude who uses backing tracks.

[jaymachik]

He finds it difficult to play Bass, Drums and lead at the same time, not enough hands.

Bass and drums are backing track, but he plays lead guitar live.

[petrucci38]

Vaya crack!!! Street Knopfler!!!

[juniorrabellotvox]

[Julek2]

Theres many people on the world who can play this song. Nothing special.

[mapleneck422]

Can you ?

[homamgr]

I agree that there are many people that can play this song.I believe also that are fewer(but also many)who they can sing it this well.But i disagree when you're saying nothing special.There's something special.He sing it on the road.I haven't seen many road musicians sing it.That's the special

[mrsvensk]

I've seen him in Manc a few times.. Bolton too, once upon a time.

[omgdan]

I saw this guy today and yesterday by the Arndale shopping centre. He is amazing.

[Mustashfa]

That's that bloke in Hounslow!!

[StefanPriceUK]

The verse is

Dm, C, Bb A, A7 X2,

F, C, Bb, Dm, Bb, C.

The HOOK is Dm, C, Bb, C.

The long version is different for the second solo.

[kstfo]

Cool, very nice touch.

[javdizzle]

That was the shit!

[knopflerbest]

respect !!! c'est bien joué !

[tony5682]

He knows what the hell he is doing. WOW

the guitar sounds the same to me....

Watch out Knopfler!! heheh Just Kiddin'

great tune though

[Jesus1989]

omg was this dude in manchester england? i think i saw him lol i heard some dude playing it there (i think it's him) and it amazed me that he could play all of it so i went home and spent 6 hours learning it myself lol

[johntheguitarist]

can u tell me which chords are used throughout the song? please?

[Jesus1989]

erm... i use Dm C Bb A for the verses, F Bb and C for the little bit before the chorus and the chorus is F C Bb, but played as triads. I think that's all of them. Most of the tabs on the internet are correct

[johntheguitarist]

thanks man u helped me out so much. if i saw u in person, i'd give u 20 bucks!

[mibbyt666]

hes a much better singer in real life hes a complete legend. i have a pic of me n my mates posin with him lol
