Very nicely done, with strong emotion in the tone and fluid phrasing that brings out the melancholy quality of MK's original. Remember, folks, it's one thing to copy a guitarist's licks and quite another to create them in the first place. But a legitimately faithful and soulful cover version is to be respected.
It is always fun to read these kind of reaction when you obviously do not know Ingo Raven, Heres, Roberto Sanchez, Dylan Guitar, David Claux, Ismail Khalid, or Chrisleys Music...
@@superpieton So what's your point? That the people you mention have superior covers or recreations of the Knopfler guitar sound? Make an argument instead of a drive-by snark.
You play this so beautifully, it made me cry, I hope that Mark does hear this played by you, he would be astounded. Thank you for uploading it and playing it.
I’ve watched hundreds of guitar covers. And I must say, the depth and the richness of your plays are like a 30yr old single malt Scotch, finest to enjoy.
MK would be proud of this playing and interpretation of his all time great classic.....that is a fantastic ad for your beautiful guitars.....great tone and expertly played, love how you played many parts just behind in the spaces, the volume swells plus your own embellishments, make this short piece exquisite to the ears
Very well played. This beautiful melody reminds me of my university days during mid 80's when this melody was newly released. Whenever I listened this melody, it made me very emotional.
What a magnificent sound and tune. I just closed my eyes and went back to the beautiful countryside of New Zealand. Just a beautiful sound so melodic. I love the Appegios played over the chords to help the melody. Congratulations on a great arrangement.
Listen up boys and girls...Mr Levi is a textbook example how how do do a cover...Respectfull homage to MK,the sheer soulfull playing,the Tone,the Technique,thats how to do it,best version ever heard,//best regards//Lasse🇸🇪
Mark, you are INCREDIBLE guitar player. This sound goes straight inside person's heart. GOD loves you. He gave you incredible talent. Thank you, and God bless.
All guitarists appreciate good guitars but when it come with a player like you then it sends it into a different class/stratosphere. Now I know that I love the sound of this guitar but I would never be able to replicate the sound, feel and passion that you have put into this ad, but I will still investigate the guitar. Finally, great playing, respect.
O SO beautiful played and such a lovely lovely tone of your beaut guitar, and Such A moving piece of music, just Gorgeous!!! I love the guitar, to play your soul through the guitar and get Completely Lost where time just doesn’t exist. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing and I shall keep your video to listen and play in duo. Stay lucky and never stop picking the guitar matey. All the very best. JB. East Surrey. UK.
I really love Mark Knopfler- and this song in particular! But you have somehow managed to make this song sound even more beautiful than when Knopfler himself plays it. Amazing! Good job!
Hace " un año ya "que escribí " mi sentir" con la forma excepcional de interpretar este tema; y la tengo grabada en un pen drive para que la escuchen mis pasajeros arriba de mi taxi. Quedan encantados por "La Paz" que genera y como calma los nervios..!Siga interpretando ASI toda la vida Sr..! Un saludo muy agradecido desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!🥰👍
His agnosticism or atheism matters more than who is playing his wonderful melody in this advert for Macmull's custom instrument. I'd like to know who playing the accompanying rhythm in appreciating this replication of Mark's style, technique and creativity played by someone else appropriating the Knopfler brand here.
hey Pavel, i really like your videos you have helped me improve my playing alot. But i wanted to ask if you could do a lesson on going home, seeing as it's kind of fitting, conidering the video, love ya man keep up the great work.
Beautiful and tear-jerking. Dude, it's Saturday night, I have had some grilled chicken and a couple of beers and now you are making me nostalgic and weepy.
Muito impressionante a beleza desta "sinfonia" de Mark Knopfler, que leva próximo ao céu, e na mão deste instrumentista fabuloso!! Sou muito grato por poder ouvir isso. Jaime do Brasil!

What a sound clear like bell.
To me, it's amazing how one man can bring a tear to another mans eye with the feelings he can put into the strings of a guitar, and not sing a word!
This music is my brother Rick, who died on the 5th February, 1995. Thank you for this.
this is probably the most touching thing ive ever heard in my entire life thank you for this amazing cover.
That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Huge Mark Knopfler fan , I’m speechless! Thanks for posting.
Still listening to this in December 2021 and all I can say is wow..........just simply stunning
If I could learn to play this one song, I would be a happy man.
Do it man just peice it together like a puzzle. :) Youll get it and just use your fingers so you get the subtleties :)
I've been a Mark Knopfler fan since the late 70s. Love the guy. Great job on that tune. The feeling and emotion definitely stirred the soul.
Commented on this 4 years ago. I still come back to hear this beautiful playing.
Many things in life are overlooked - the music here brings those moments to attention, both old and new. Thank you.
Man that was beautiful!
You captured Knopfler’s sound and flow perfectly. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻
Very well played. This beautiful melody reminds me of my university days during mid 80's when this melody was newly released. Whenever I listened this melody, it made me very emotional.

Brilliant.
Back again, this is just so beautiful, wonderfully played sir, beautifully played.
That's some of the best playing I've heard in a long time. Such great feel and dynamics.
That is guitar artistry. Elequently played, you made your guitar sing.
Glad I didn’t hit skip, first ad I clicked on after the video was over and watched it again. That music speaks to the soul.
Never heard someone being able to catch and reproduce every emotional aspect of Knopflers masterpiece in such beautiful way before. Truly genius!
we think so too. than you Joachim
Beautifully haunting. I love this song. Makes me remember times gone by.
Seems as if you have tonal gold in your fingers and a big heart to control what you feel! Great performance!
