    This is my rendition of the famous Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. It was an amazing experience to transcribe the whole band and perform this legendary song in a solo guitar. I hope you enjoy it!
    Cheers!

    I have seen and heard Tommy Emmanuel and he is truly amazing. Joe Bonamassa is incredible. Trace Bundy can bring tears to my eyes and Luca Stricagnoli leaves me aghast. Over my lifetime I've listened to Chuck Berry, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and so so many others. I am 71 years old and can say without doubt or reservation whoever invented the guitar did so with the hope that Lucas Imbiriba would one day find it. He did, and I will be forever grateful he did it in my lifetime. Thank You Lucas!

      Really? I mean he’s good but I hear some mutes that shouldn’t be there and some timing issues I just don’t think you should compare him to that list. He’s good don’t get me wrong but all the fru fru and extra flex is unnecessary imho he’s no Billy strings. And don’t forget this dude is just playing all the songs those great men wrote huh? When he writes an epic masterpiece the likes of mark knopfler then I’ll be impressed. To compare him to Gilmour? Cmon man your fuckin balls are square. You might be too old to really realize what your saying. 😮

    I've been playing guitar for 27 years, listening to music with a hungry mind for near 40, this is one of the best things I've ever seen and heard on the guitar. You have an unbridled passion for the instrument and a sense and instinct for what sounds great musically and not just showing how good you are. An absolute delight to listen to!

    This is absolutely ludicrous, I sat with my jaw on the floor for the full 7 minutes, I've played guitar/bass for over 15 years and this is some of the greatest guitar playing I've ever witnessed. It's not just the technical excellence, or the insane finger picking and hammer-ons/pull-offs, but the passion in which he plays and the unique approach he takes to artistic representation of the song. Bravo Lucas, a phenomenal cover.

      I will never understand people who say these things. Maybe guitar is not your thing? I see stuff like this and dig in. Owning a guitar for 40 years is not "playing" 40 years. There are 8,760 hours in a year. 350,400 hours in 40 years. Even if you practice an hour a day for 40 years...you still only have less than 2 years of experience. Practice more. Even 20 minutes a day you will start seeing huge progress. Not to be confused with noodling. I've owned a guitar for 30 years...I still suck...mostly because I never practice.

    More impressive than the virtuosic playing is, to me, the complete mastery of, and adherence to, the rhythm. So many talented guitarists let the beat fall away when they get into vamping, fills, and solos. That you didn't let that happen even once elevated this performance to a master class.

    There are two things I love about this rendition -- and they have nothing to do with technical proficiency, the playing style or even the skill of the artist himself. The first is the passion -- the raw emotion that starts off at 10 and quickly rises to 11 and beyond as the song goes on.
    I've listened to several finger style versions of this song on RUclips and while most were close to note perfect and technically sound, they also bored me to tears. In this rendition, he drops a few notes here and there, but it doesn't matter. At all. Because for seven minutes, there is nothing more important to the guitarist than this song. It shows. And it's electrifying.
    The second thing is that he arranged a unique and dynamic piece of music while still staying true to the original (or maybe the added fills were completely improvisational, I don't know, but my point stands either way.) To quote Simon Cowell (and I can't believe I'm actually going to quote Simon Cowell), he "made it his own."
    Simply stunning, sir. This is one of my new favorite videos -- and by far my favorite rendition of his song. Consider me subscribed.

      During the roughly ten years since fingerstyle guitar has become very popular, I've seen so many covers of "Sultans.." - both in person and on social media sites. I also learned it myself. During all these years, I don't think I've ever seen a version quite as good as this one. Some were very good, but this is at the top shelf, for certain! It must've taken him several months-if not an entire year-to perfect this one. Indeed, it is extremely impressive, and full of feeling too; not just robotic.

    There are not enough words in my vocabulary to express my admiration for the talent and dedication that it takes to play like this. I’ve been playing guitar for over 50 years and understand that to lay this way is not just hard work, it’s a God given gift.

    That was the most incredible acoustic playing I've ever seen! And I've seen Tommy Emmanuel live front row multiple times. It was unedited and so clean. I'm blown away. I don't think there's anyone on the planet that can do a better cover of this song than that.

      @Joe Biden Says: but combined who knows? You seem like a knowledgable, dare I say, intelligent person. Rather than attempt to give me a history lesson, why not respond to my comments to this outstanding piece of showmanship/musician craft. Or add your own perhaps. Plus.
