Guys, let me make it clear for u, This is insane. Doing a live performarce with the same touch and all notes precisely like MK it’s a work that could take months, years. Congratulations Dylan
Non guitarists dont understand how much time it took to first figure out the notes and then learn to play them, its so hard because its a live version and not a studio version. Awesome job my friend, you deserve a lot of recognition for this one.
Playing the original properly is already insanely tough, but you’ve just perfectly played the live version! This is beyond my belief how accurately you’ve matched Mark. You deserve so much more recognition my man, good luck ahead.
I''ve always been a huge fan of MK since I was 14 and I decided to learn guitar when I first heard Sultans of Swing. I've never seen such a perfect cover version of the Alchemy version of this song, this is absolutely fantastic, congratulations Dylan!
As someone who has performed live covers of Sultans as a lead guitarist (and only with the the stock, off the record licks), this is absolutely mind blowing. You are extremely talented.
Agreed. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone other than Mark to play this. He does it around 98-99% the same…now imagine doing that while singing…
(3) You show how insanely good MK was when you pull the guitar out from the other sounds (2) You must be the only person on the planet to reproduce this so perfect (1) you are going places (0) imo, you are the best guitarist on youtube.
@@dylanguitar04 he is quite good, but you're ability to copy this entire live performance. While only have played for 3 DAMN YEARS kinda makes you WAY more unique. while Khalid has been playing since he was a kid. (not saying he's below you, because he was better at guitar than me when he was 8 aswell 😭)
Just come across this cover. I know every Dire Straits song almost note for note, and this performance was brilliant. It is not often you see this DS cover, so thankyou for this👍🏻
Thats amazing cover! And it shows how great knopfler was ! Imagine how complicated it is to perform that at home, after several release . The guy did it live on stage in front of thousand of people, after already hour of shows and without a missing a chord . Talent
Mate, that is stupidly awesome! The hands are mesmorising to watch and loved seeing just how much bending of the strings the left hand is doing to bring out those notes. Right hand crazy good too. Total class and I love it
That fretboard wear is from learning this alone, isn't it? Absolutely super job. Perfectly demonstrates the genius of Mark Knopfler. I would love to learn this someday
Closest one yet! You respected the piece of art by not exchanging notes for others that could pass for the real ones, at least for non true admirers, and that's rare! Insted, most guitarists hurry to show themselves off and shamely destroy the music, thinking "they are more important than making it right". Pop and rock treasures should be treated as kindly as classical in general are. Congratulations Dylan!
I spent many years searching for covers of the Alchemy versions on RUclips... looking for someone who would richly transcribe the details that we couldn't see properly in the show, because of the camera cuts or the low light on the stage... Ismail Khalid has the guitar gift and grew up absorbing DS/MK style... But you have so much talent and precision as he does... And you still show us everything in CLOSE-UP!!! 🔍 So much dedication couldn't be any different coming from someone named Dylan...🎼Amazing guy!!! 🎸
This is my favorite song. When I say I’m obsessed, I truly am. I have been listening to this everyday, for a few years. A few months ago I discovered the live version. The live aid is my favorite live one. You sir are an absolute guitar genius. I’ve watched many covers and I can unequivocally say you are the best at playing anything by Mark.
Everytime I’m watching one of your dire straits cover I’m more and more amaze by how well you nail MK’s technique. By the way, I have to thank you a lot, your videos helped me so much to understand it and play dire straits songs the "good way".
My dude, I can barely play the riffs from the record, can’t hit the rapidfire triplets in the 2nd solo, this is just utterly mind blowing and I bet if Mark sees this he’d probably find it hard to not smile
It.s kinda numbing. I started guitar playing a year ago, just to be able to play Sultans of swing, my alltime favorite song. Its the only song I play. And now I see this, and I realise how freaking far im off.. man. You are awesome! Groeten uit Schagen!
Wow. Incredible. Congrats. What I find disturbing is that MK pulled this out without mistakes in a live setting and with lots of improvised parts. Best guitarist ever. Period.
I think I've just seen the best cover of Sultans of Swing that I've seen in my life and I've seen I'm an age now and I've seen a lot. Absolutely incredible
I bought Alchemy on the day of release, so 40 years ago next March, I have never seen or heard anyone play this so perfectly other than MK himself, mate you are bloody amazing.
I never thought of looking for a guitar cover of the Alchemy version since I think it's insane to attempt it, but oh well! Congratulations, my friend! Outstanding work!
Wow! I've been trying to learn this version for some time, actually since I started playing guitar 30 years ago. Your video makes it a lot easier. Thank you very much!
Insane cover man! You inspire me to re-learn this and play it the proper way! That finger gallop rhythm you got going on for the intro and throughout the whole song, thats IT!
Wow, this is note for note cover of Mark's guitar licks and solos, exact tone and if I close your eyes while listening, I would think that this is the original version!
@@dylanguitar04how much of an adjustment? You play fingerpicking style anyway? Although Knopfler style is quite unusual even in the field of fingerpicking
Супер! На меня эта гитара Кнопфера действует, как флейта заклинателя змей на удава. Исполнителю данной партии тоже респект за мастерство и правильную передачу интонаций👍
Amazing work dude! Best cover of this song I've seen. I would love to see you try the 92' Live Basel cover of Telegraph Road next! Imo its best Mark has ever played that song, and I'd love to see a great cover of it!
Great performance. I love the way you're shooting your vidéos. For beginner like me it is very valuable. I hope that you can cover more songs. Particulary those who are not so played by fan. Especialy those who have rhythm part like single handed sailor that you did so well. Song like skateway or the unreleased making movies song ..
The best alchemy cover I’ve heard I can’t find any decent tutorials on it I have a printed tab but still can’t nail it please do a tutorial on this masterpiece
The fact that Mark played this while singing is just beyond impressive
And live, and barely looking at the fretboard. He was a beast.
Not only that but most of it is improvised.
Guys, let me make it clear for u, This is insane. Doing a live performarce with the same touch and all notes precisely like MK it’s a work that could take months, years. Congratulations Dylan
Thank you!
Voce poderia disponibilizar as tablaturas no youtube?@@dylanguitar04
Absolutely agree. This is unbelievable.
@@dylanguitar04 This was so enjoyable to watch!! Musician goals for sure!! You rocked this one Dylan!! 🤘🏼
Yes
Non guitarists dont understand how much time it took to first figure out the notes and then learn to play them, its so hard because its a live version and not a studio version.
Awesome job my friend, you deserve a lot of recognition for this one.
A lot of people compliment a lot of stuff on YT that don’t truly deserve it. This deserves all the recognition it gets! So impressive
Playing the original properly is already insanely tough, but you’ve just perfectly played the live version! This is beyond my belief how accurately you’ve matched Mark. You deserve so much more recognition my man, good luck ahead.

Congratulation
Agreed. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone other than Mark to play this. He does it around 98-99% the same…now imagine doing that while singing…
Exactly
For sure ☺️
Your finger style is the most like Knopfler's I have ever seen someone re-create, this is truly amazing. Plus it's the Alchemy version!!
I never thought it was possible to redo the MK solo in this version so precisely. You are incredible.
Thanks!
I must say you haven’t missed an atom of what he had played. This is insane .
Thanks!
(3) You show how insanely good MK was when you pull the guitar out from the other sounds (2) You must be the only person on the planet to reproduce this so perfect (1) you are going places (0) imo, you are the best guitarist on youtube.
Glad you enjoyed it! Go check out Ismail Khalid he is leagues above me

By very very far the best cover of sultans I’ve ever seen in my entire life both as a guitar player and diehard fan. You’re a beast! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Exactly
For sure ☺️
Take a bow young man ...that was pure eargasm
Thats amazing cover! And it shows how great knopfler was ! Imagine how complicated it is to perform that at home, after several release . The guy did it live on stage in front of thousand of people, after already hour of shows and without a missing a chord . Talent
I never thought I'd hear a cover this good. You've done justice to one of my all-time favorite songs. Bravo! 🎸🎶
Long live the greatest man M. Knopfler! That strat is aging gracefully!! make sure to play it everyday!!
I always do!
Is it an american 57' vintage reissue ?
Mate, that is stupidly awesome! The hands are mesmorising to watch and loved seeing just how much bending of the strings the left hand is doing to bring out those notes. Right hand crazy good too. Total class and I love it
OMG!!! How come you nailed this whole song??? What a talent mate!!! Mark Knopfler MUST see this 😁 - Amazing work buddy 💯💯💯💯😍
Thanks a ton!
How does this not have 1 mil likes already?!

I can’t believe it!!! Many many compliments, you’re not human, like our dear Mark
Wow!! That was the best version that i have ever seen!!
flawless victory , seriously well played . love this version best ever .

I would like to say that honestly is impressive. A seriously good rendition.
There is only One thing comming to my mind…. Awesome! Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for watching!
Sounds fantastic dude. I happened across one of your shorts videos and now I can't stop watching. Your play so well
Glad you like them!
My Gawd. You are such a wonderful guitarist! Magnificent! So Enjoyable! You deserve to be super-proud of your talent!
Wow. Incredible. Congrats. What I find disturbing is that MK pulled this out without mistakes in a live setting and with lots of improvised parts. Best guitarist ever. Period.
I can’t even comprehend that
He does make a tiny mistake during the breakdown section, he even smiles when his finger gets stuck. But yeah, Mark at his prime was untouchable.
This is the best cover I've seen of this song, ever!!! Man, you rock!!!
That was class !! This song makes me want to learn to play guitar!
I think I've just seen the best cover of Sultans of Swing that I've seen in my life and I've seen I'm an age now and I've seen a lot. Absolutely incredible
Thank you so much!
I bought Alchemy on the day of release, so 40 years ago next March, I have never seen or heard anyone play this so perfectly other than MK himself, mate you are bloody amazing.
Youve done here what millions dream of . Well done excellent
Thank you!!
I never thought of looking for a guitar cover of the Alchemy version since I think it's insane to attempt it, but oh well! Congratulations, my friend! Outstanding work!
Thank you, you're very talented and this is the best version of the song, I can listen to this forever
This is so cool, I dream of playing like this. Fantastic! 😊
Wow! I've been trying to learn this version for some time, actually since I started playing guitar 30 years ago. Your video makes it a lot easier. Thank you very much!
simply on a whole different level..wow!!
This was absolutely INSANE!!! I didn't wanna blink cause I was so hooked onto it. Nailed all the notes! Fantastic!
Absolutely beautifully done my friend. It’s obvious that you have put an enormous amount of work into that piece to have perfected it as you have,
Isso não é cover!!! Isso é simplesmente O MESMO SOLO. INACREDITÁVEL
Bro, your fantastic cover straight added to my favorites! Outstanding performance......hats off!
The skill you play with is impressive.
Literally clapped.amazing man.made my night
PERFECT... When I imagine the talent needed, the work and the time spent behind... RESPECT!!
My God, how to be so talented. I admire so much. I've been playing folk for 6 years and I'm progressing nicely but you are supernatural. Well done!
absolutely gorgeous cover
This song never gets bored. Insane exceptional talent, incredible, just WOW.
Could you do Once upon a time in the west too? I love that one so much.
Amazing. I always wanted to learn this version, and always thought it's forever unattainable by me. You make it look so easy. Phenomenal.
Insane cover man! You inspire me to re-learn this and play it the proper way! That finger gallop rhythm you got going on for the intro and throughout the whole song, thats IT!
Holy Shit Mate!! Only 3 years in AND self taught??! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE
Thank you!!
Wow, this is note for note cover of Mark's guitar licks and solos, exact tone and if I close your eyes while listening, I would think that this is the original version!
Congrats bro. You definitely are the best on RUclips for Knopfler covers. Keep up the good work
Holy crap, dude! That was amazing!
Thanks!!
Wow absolutely fantastic... The best rendition of the Alchemy live version I've had the pleasure of listening to.. good going mate... Cheers
you are just amazing..! 👏 for bringing tears to my eyes ! 😪🔥😍
Thank you so much 😀
Bravo! Sensational. Best cover that I have heard. Keep it up.
Thank you!
Wonderful presentation 👏
How Mr. Dylan? It's impossible to replicate the entire performance without missing a single point. All I can say is a big WOW!
Excellent cover! Great job.
One word amazing 😊
You've absolutely perfected Knopflers style! Mind blowing cover mate 👍
Thank you!!
I love so much this style!
What a talent!! Greetings.
Closest to Knopfler on youtube , fantastic job!!
Thank you!
@@dylanguitar04how much of an adjustment? You play fingerpicking style anyway? Although Knopfler style is quite unusual even in the field of fingerpicking
Quel talent et maitrise Bravo
Well, you definitely deserve some recognition ...by HIM! Awesome
This is my desert island song and you absolutely killed it. I would be happy if I could get my fingers to play just a few of those licks.
absolutely perfect cover of this song i've seen
Thank you!
That was outright magical ✨️
Not easy my frend.....very good job
you are great !
Thank you:)
I mean, bro. That's an incredible performance. Loved it. Thank you.
God damn this is absolutely amazing. I always loved the alchemy version and seeing it so perfectly played is incredible. Well done my man 👏
Thank you so much!!
Buah!!! Fucking awesome!!! I’ve spent many years trying to find somebody that dare to make this cover!
You are just a dream 🙌.
Congratulations
Thank you!
Jesus man you get every note perfectly !
Holy Shit ! Insane Job. Props Dude !!!
Thank you!
SIMPLY, PERFECTION
Great playing sound soooo good 👌
Thanks!
Супер! На меня эта гитара Кнопфера действует, как флейта заклинателя змей на удава. Исполнителю данной партии тоже респект за мастерство и правильную передачу интонаций👍
Well done kid. I’m going to try to learn to play it. Be back in 10 years
That's genuinely awesome 😮👏🏽
You know something???? It absolutely shits me to death that I can’t play like that. Seriously mate, you are a fantastically talented player.
I mean, that’s unvelievable. What a cover man, congratulations!
Thanks!
Wow, very well-done Dylan! Love your guitar playing!
Thanks a lot🙏
5:04 I‘m still having trouble with this part, your cover sounds exactly like the original.
amazing performance
Thanks! Ya that bit is tricky:)
that bit took me 2 weeks to learn (would have been 4 without dylan 😂)
@@dylanguitar04 literally one of the coolest parts of this version. You are a hell of a picker 🤜🤛
Brilliant. Congratulations
