    As hard as this song looks, it must be taught. And I have to learn this one. It's a mixture of upbeat rhythm with harmonic melodies from which make the listener proud. From 2:55-4:20 when Andrea starts that uprising beat in which builds back into the chorus again. Ah, what a masterpiece. Very well done my friend. Cheers from California!

    When I hear something this beautiful I wonder why anyone would ever give it a thumbs down. About the only thing I can come up with is that the thumbs downs must be from people who are jealous and who could never play half that well, even in their dreams. To bad they can't just admire it and be honest. Oh well!
    Thank you, Andrea, for playing this and sharing it. Very nicely done!

    The Holy Grail of fingerpicking. I can imagine putting you and Michael Chapdelaine … and further dreaming .. Tommy Emmanuel and maybe Sungha in the same room … then add this street player here on youtube to the right thumbnail Estas Tonne. .. damn, would that would a cool roomful of jamming. You and all these players amaze, entertain, and inspire me as a guitar player and as a guitar playing listener.

      @marvinrosenkranz6057 7 років тому +1

    • @stephenreed1298
      @stephenreed1298 6 років тому +2

      I agree Scott. I've been playing over 50 years, ain't that good, but I know talent when I hear it. People who try to compare this to Knofler's original are missing the point. Mark never played the same rifts twice throughout the song, always adding nuances, and Andrea does the same. I'm a flat picker and lead guitarist, but if anyone thinks this is easy playing in fingerstyle, they're smoking something. He genious.

      If you dedicate your life to music, 'talent'is a relative term. Passion makes amazing things happen, Andrea Valeri is a top musician. How he turns this hit song into music, touching me for its richness.
      Yet there is musical talent which can't be learned, just look at the recent child prodigees Angelina Jordan, Emily Bear and the most universal genius: Alma Deutscher.
      Their musical imagination boggles my mind, these girls are living miracles.

      Maybe Mark didn't have the idea... He had his brother on the rhythm guitar... I guess he would play this if he thought about it. But he was making so much success and then after it there was so much money coming from Brothers in Arms... After all, the composition and the playing were enough at that time... No thoughs about "Acoustic Mark Knopfler"... This came later... He didn't seem to care... though everybody was doing on MTV...

      Mark Knopfler knows how to play with his thumb nail, has composed this song, played over a thousand version of it, and a very personal thing, I don't really like his sound, seems like he is, playing with his flesh and not his nails. He has a very good technic, and it's an amazing interpretation of the song, but Mark Knopfler is just at an other level.

      This "Sultans of Swing" is awesome. Stunning technique & interpretation & on a well worn Maton (Aussie) guitar.
      Yes many are ignorant of the meaning of "jealous" vs "envious". It's important to know one can be rightfully jealous! That's because jealousy pertains to "rightful ownership & being protective of same", whereas envy pertains to "desirous of ownership, but having no right to be so".
      The majority of people tend to use these words as if they are interchangeable. They are not.
      I recall Oprah Winfrey, in her ignorance, remarking on live TV, that she turned against Christianity because she discovered that the God of the Bible is "jealous" God. He (God) claims to the the Creator God, and if so, He has every right to be jealous of His creation. Whereas His adversary Satan, has no right to be 'jealous', & is ever 'envious' of the Creator & His creation. That's why there's so much destruction on this planet... Satan's envy/ greed. Sorry to get all theological, but this is a classic example regarding the difference between the words, jealous & envious.

    I've met Andrea 3 or 4 times in an acoustic guitar festival in Italy (Madame Guitar at Tricesimo)... the first time he was just 17 years old and he already played this tune for a bunch of people in a little square. We all were absolutely astonished seeing such a young guy playing in such a beautiful and complex way. Now he's much much better than this...

    First of all, he's great. However, all of you who wonder how come you never sound that good, think of buying a better guitar. It is incredible how bad most guitars are. I have one such shit, and no matter how good I play nothing appealing gets out of it. But when I have a chance to play on someone else's better guitar, I can't recognize myself as a player. Thus most of the good players became that only after getting a good guitar, otherwise you are in the darkness, because your guitar does not respond to your playing, it makes you believe you are a lousy musician.

  • @jakisnot
    @jakisnot 9 років тому

    This arrangement is great but I feel that the sound guy overdid the recording in a strange way... I'm assuming there's a reverb boost but I'm not sure if that's the displeasing quality I sense. Do others notice this? Maybe I just don't like the microphone but to me it sounds like added effects.
