  • you rock dude !! ^^ good job !

  • This is AMAZING how he do did

  • AWESOME SIMPLE AWESOME!!!

    XD

  • Once the bass drum comes in it kinda sounds like TMBG's Birdhouse In Your Soul.

    I love both songs, by the way. And this is awesome. :)

  • Hey I like your video and there's something I want to ask

    Are you just playing the primary melody of this song (we all know) with some improvisation at the end (look's nice btw) ? Are you using the original song as background for your notes ? The chords start at 0:00 but I don't see you playing until 00:11 . Your left hand seems to be a little "useless" during the song if I may say.

    Thanks for your answer =)

  • @MaWriziow When I made this video (almost four years ago now) I did a couple different angles and a few different "takes" of me playing different parts of the song. Reason being because I used that keyboard to record each party of the song on my own (no MIDIs no outside sources). None of what you heard is from the Original Dire Straits song but completely made from scratch. But, since there were so many different parts I played, I figured for the show, I would play the primary melody.

  • you look like richard wright from pink floyd he was keyboard look him up he died back in 2007 R.I.P rick

  • OMG DOGSWEDE COMMENTED!

  • @MrMorganfarts I KNOW I'm honored!

  • @doorknob2150 you should be! hey can you make a mfn guitar tutorial?

  • Dude, ur fricken awesome, have u posted a video for a tutorial on how u did that? If not, please do so.

  • Hey well played for a young lad & I like the improvisation. Is that the Casio MZ2000? I've got a handful of keyboard, play alot of covers, sing & so but it's just a hobby for me. Cheers & keep up the playing

  • @bestrickie2 hey sounds cool! its a hobby for me as well. The keyboard in this video is the Casio WK-1630. Great piece of equipment!

  • Very cool! Awesome! You are great with the keyboard! This is one of my favorite songs as well. :D

    I've got the melody down on my keyboard for this song, but I can't get the guitar riff right. =( Lol.

  • Twat Twat Twat

  • I never imagined that this song is sooo fast until now... It looks alot more energetic than original to me.

  • well done!!!!!

  • Awesome!

    Very well

    Thanks for posting

  • this is great! at the start i was thinking oooh dear but it got very impressive! and whats even better is that a lad your age is playing this song! go dire straits!

  • As a fellow musician, I have to say that this is one amazing cover. The riffs you played at the end were well done and flow with the song very well, creating an old-style blues-like feel. Well done.

  • thank you very much for watching my video. I totaly agree Dire Straits is one of the best groups EVER. How cool would it be to meet MK!?!?! Oh my god! hahaha! Thanks again for your comment and for viewing my video! =]

  • hey what are the chords during the intro

  • i don't know bud. i can't read music. sorry =\

  • @Charbonneau138749 The chords at the beginning are just E A B A B E. The whole song is just a variation of these 3 chords with some 6ths and 7ths added

  • Dece

  • ok?

  • its pretty legit

  • camera angles very entertaining haha. few questions though hahaha is this casio WK- 200 and did you do this song from the scratch on the casio. in any case it sounds great. keep on

  • it's actually the WK-1630 and yes I did record it from scratch on the keyboard =]

  • Def a 5 star. Love the song and it sounds better and better as I hear different versions of it. Awesome job bro. I'm learning 2 play the song now.

  • Wow, I've been trying to look for keyboards today to see if the casio I want is worth getting and you've just answered my question!

    Thank You SO much

    Justine x

  • Yeah the boy can play

  • WOW

  • It's faster than the studio version, but it's about the right tempo for the live version, in his defense.

  • you should make a tutorial

  • inspiring! you nailed the instrumentals.

    I'm MadMrScience. Want to know how you did the multiple camera angles.

  • Wow great  5*****

  • es muy feliz XD

  • Yeah there are no videos teaching ya how to play it, and i wanna learn...

  • same

  • I can't tell what I feel when I hear this. It's just excellent.

  • Really well done!

  • dude that was AWESOME! is there ANY way you could make a tutorial for that?? teach me!

  • excellent, nice to see someone putting some emotion into the music for a change. I listen to keyboard cover versions of many songs on here, only to find that people concentrate too much on the technical side and forget about the emotional impact and feeling that makes music touch the soul. You changed that. Technically good, and emotionally excellent. Keep up the good work.

  • WoW, Great, Great!!! :D

  • Impressive, the video as much as the music with it's multiple angles and stuff - I'm gonna trust you recorded the backing instead of poaching it from some midi lol.

    Shame the voices don't sound too brilliant... although maybe I'm just being prejudice because I hate Casio keyboards generally. Then again the voices in the actual song were pretty horrific so they're probably spot on; a high cheesiness factor is the order of the day I think!

  • fucking good but dont have the sheets :( where have the sheets please send to me!

  • i dont have the sheets... i cant read music, i did it by ear. sorry =\

  • ok ... can u make a toturial?

  • that i wouldnt have a problem with doin. witch part are you looking to learn?

  • all what you can hihi

  • the version i played was based off the "On the Night" version of the song...

    "air band??" meaning that the sound u hear is all fake? true..its on a keyboard but its all me. i recoreded each part entirely on my own and...how am i a poser? yo i made the song from scratch dude...shut up

  • Magoomboo, even if you want to criticize someone, this isn't the way to do it. You make yourself look like a pathetic loser and I can't stop feeling sorry for you.

  • r u sure u didnt fast foward just jokin.... ur AWSOME!

  • Wow, that was rather cool.  Wonderful playing and a nicely put together video.

  • how long you been playin' the keyboard ??? You are awesome on that thing...Awesome dude...
