Pedro is from Spain, John is from USA, Tommy is from Australia this masterpiece rendition is a marvelous proof for "The only best language in the world is music" :D
One thing that has always deeply impressed me about Tommy Emanuel is his total egoless appreciation of other musicians so evolved and mature. Very, very, very few musicians are that secure in themselves
He seeks them out like a Greek language Scholar seeks compatriots to share and savor the nuance of the language with .. Purely for the joy of the experience..
Yeah, and he's the big swingin' d!@k in the locker room. He's an amazing ambassador for the art of music. Does meet and greets before shows. Brings kids up on stage to play often. I think he's officially Billy String's uncle now. Great all around guy.
Hi Roman. I'm here on December 26, 2019. Tommy's pretty special but naming the "best ever" is a tough call. So many fab guitarists over so many decades, picking just one ... I admit I'm old but I couldn't pick just one! xx
I might cite mr Steve Vai close to original: Tommy Emmanuel is not the future of guitar playing because even in the future I don't think people are going to be able to play like him.

I have watched this possibly 100 times. I am a bedroom vanity guitar player. Been playing for 50 years but I am not talented. So for me I just love the masters at work. I think that in order to appreciate genius you have to understand what players like this are doing. They are doing it.
Agreed. Guitarist to guitarist actually see/know/feel what’s happening even if they can’t replicate it. I wish the music flowed this easily out of me...
It's really the best thing about playing music... the timeless grooves you share with your bandmates and audience. There's just nothing in the world like that.
Correct, very smooth, I often watch it 4/5 times in a row! Timeless, with three totally different techniques that, for the most part ( take the ego's out towards the end), blend flawlessly.
This video never fails to impress me - Pedro is definitely in the driver's seat - he sets the tone and the meter. Tommy kicks in with some rhythm, John kicks in with a beautifully light instrumental, after that, Pedro and Tommy take turns with the lead, and then all three join in with a powerful rhythm to finish the song. It is interesting to note that Pedro is actually communicating visually with Tommy - they evidently have some sort of system - it appears to be almost telepathic. Any any rate, the musicians quickly pick up on each other's cues. This is the mark of a true musician. This is the definitive version of Sultans of Swing. Thanks!
@@mailander2911 Well, I can't say that I don't like the way Pedro plays; he is a master of his craft. But I do get a very different sense from Tommy and JJ in the way they view their contributions to the whole. Maybe that's because I know them; I don't know Pedro. I do know that Tommy and JJ are always mindful of supporting their co-performers, and that's very evident in this masterpiece.
Thank you, Lord for awesome old men who have dedicated their lives to their passions. And thank you for computers, and QSC amps and JBL speakers, and a little time to listen.
Tommy Emmanuel is absolutely amazing! How humble he is and such fun to play, like a boy that just owned his first guitar. It will be a dream to watch Tommy and MK playing together
Astounding performance by Maestro Pedro Javier González, whom I had the privilege of getting acquainted with on the occasion of his concert held at S. Maria del Pi in Barcelona in September 2014, as guitar soloist. Asombrosa interpretación del Maestro Pedro Javier González, a quien tuve el privilegio de conocer con motivo de su concierto celebrado en S. Maria del Pi de Barcelona en septiembre de 2014, como guitarra solista.
Around the 7:00 mark is where you see three seasoned veterans having fun like they just simultaneously nailed their first solo at age 9 in the garage with their buddies. Incredible.
Amazing performance by all five musicians! This performance also underscores Mark Knopfler's genius as a guitarist/composer - Each of these three master guitarists have their unique touch and tone,but they all stay close to the original structure of the tune. Almost all the melodic figures/riffs (even a lot of the little grace notes) can be heard on the original Dire Straits version. Even though the lyrics to the song are great too, Sultans has become an instrumental classic that stands well on the music alone. This one is a fantastic example!
Yes, very well said. You summed up very eloquently my thoughts. I'm a huge fan of Mark and of Tommy. Pedro and his musicians are now on my radar too but this was just outstanding.
abztractbeats Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback! This is a real gem of of a video, and like you, it really put Gonzalez and Jorgenson on my radar. The two sidemen were amazing as well (percussion & bass).
That percussion and bass was done so softly and beautifully... and complemented these two brilliant guitarists... I suspect we'll never run out of such brilliance... there are others using finger style playing.. but this was? Pure class
If I had to choose one song and only one song to listen to the rest of my life, this would be it. And this would be the version. Truly magical. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Shally
When i was much Jounger and heard direstraits this number i tought that band came from an other planet and i have always loved it played it numerous times now i am much onder and saw and heard these Guys i fell in love again the are fantastic cant hear them play enough.sorry if i made Some mistakes in writing this but i am 80 years old and Dutch
Jolted out of everyday mediocrity, enthralled by the brilliance of these three musicians playing against, yet with each other, that for a moment, I felt I was a part of the magic that they were creating. Surely it doesn't get much better than this.
Loved Sultans all my life and seen many great versions of it... but I was today years old when I found this one and have to say, it's the best. Truly amazing.
Lesson in life: do what you love, love what you do, and enjoy who you do it with. Look at these guys. This was no mechanical performance. It was pure joy.
If you've never seen Tommy Emmanuel play live you owe it to yourself to go to his website, find a venue and go see him play. This might be the best thing ever on UA-cam.
I've never seen someone preform so passionately. He waited and met everyone and was so polite and kind. Always smaller venues and cheap tickets. What a true legend
There ain't gonna be another performance as awesome as this on this particular song... What an incredible undertaking and breathtaking performance it was! Simply outstanding! Bravo legends!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Dude, you're goddamn right! Been saying this for years! 5 to be exact & I still can't get enough of this performance & it never ceases to blow me away every time even having seen/heard it probably 10,000+ times
I've watched this countless times...I even hear this in my sleep.. I am so totally speechless at this level of perfection. This goes beyond music that you listen to...This is music you feel.
I'm one of those guys who laughs when he bubbles over with joy. This quintet's musical, magical gift made me burst into laughter throughout this 7-minute joyride.
WOW! To play such electric lead guitar runs with THAT accuracy, speed and tempo on an ACOUSTIC, shows just how excellent guitarists these men are. Tommy has more facility, as he plays this style more often, but Pedro as a trained classical guitarist, shows just how much skill he has as well. Such a wonderful surprise; AND has me appreciating the tune even more. How much were THEY enjoying it?
You could sure tell they are having fun playing together.
Yes it looked like battle who can the best solo hahaha 😆
Probably watched this 30 or 40 times.. Never gets old.
Found this going down a musical rabbit hole, just now. Great cover of this tune. That bass note drop at the 4:00 mark rattled my core.
Tommy improvising that solo @ 2:48 with his eyes closed amazing
Well it been about 60 times now. Still one of greatest live covers ever.
@@willb6442 I agree. Probably the best live improv ever..He’s utterly amazing.

Eso mismo! Y el bajista?! Ni siquiera lo enfocaron una sola vez y es un hacha el tipo, parece un metrónomo.
Hell yeah!!!

Sultans of Swing is a masterpiece in it's own, and this is a great acknowledgment of the song by Dire Straits.
"We are the Sultans.

Respect to the percussionist too, he kept it together very well. Stellar performances on guitar and wonderful bass too.
