      First like. Then I watched 4 times and finally listened for the 5th time (let's not lie, we all did it). I love the song Sultans of Swing and the group Dire Straits, I like how you played it because it's hard to imitate Mark Knopfler.
      This is my first time commenting on Sophie and I have listened to a lot of videos. I subscribed to this channel a long time ago.
      Keep up the good songs from the last century.

      I listened to your performances of Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb), Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, The Beatles, Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody), AC/DC, Led Zeppelin... I would like to hear another Pink Floyd or Queen songs. Even though it's a different style of guitar playing, I think a lot of your followers would love to hear something from U2.
      Anyway thanks for the wonderful music.

    Jesus! Unbelievable. Sultans of Swings is one of my favorite songs ever. Love Mark Knopfler. I have to say, you crushed this song! I never, in a million years, would have thought anyone could play this song better than Mark, but you might have accomplished it! What a fantastic cover of a fantastic song. And just think...you're beautiful on top of it. Wow. Just wow.

    I look around me and I can’t find words to adequately express the awesomeness of the things I see in this world, particularly with respect to human achievements. Top of my long list are the amazing things that Olympic gymnasts can do and how incredibly-talented musicians like Sophie can bring warmth to our spirits with their amazing abilities. Music is wonderful in an almost magical way in that it can really trigger our emotions (I’ve sometimes had tears in my eyes when listening to some of the songs I’ve played on my car stereo, “Nobody’s Child” by Karen Young and “Wind Beneath My Wings” by Bette Midler spring to mind). If there is an afterlife, as I believe there is, I’d love to ask God to let me experience for a few minutes, what someone like Sophie is feeling and thinking when she’s playing her guitar, as it’s a complete mystery to me. Keep it up Sophie; you’re helping to add joy to our world and given the bad things that are happening in some places, we really need some of that right now. God bless you.

    Holy Shit Sophie!!! That's my FAVORITE INTERPRETATION OF SULTANS OF SWING! SUCH A MASTERFUL HOMAGE TO KNOFLER'S ALL TIME GREATEST DIRE STRAIGHTS SONG! I especially LOVE how you did it without a bunch of distortion and effects! This speaks to the old adage "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD"... You can shred your ass off, but you didn't on this cover, because you shouldn't have, and I applaud you on your restraint! Absolutely BRILLIANT AND TASTY CHOICE OF RIFFS AND CHOPS TO GIVE MY FAVORITE DIRE STRAIGHTS SONG OF ALL TIME A FRESH NEW PERSPECTIVE WHILE HONORING THE CLASSIC PERSONA OF KNOFLER'S ORIGINAL!! WELL PLAYED MY FRIEND, WELL PLAYED!
