- Country Roads, if it were written by Dire Straits
Had some fun with this classic song by John Denver. Especially after the bridge, building it up to a nice solo. Transposed the song down two steps to fit the vocals better. Hope you like it!

Sultans of the Country Road...
sultans road or country swing
Right at the corner of Country Road and Telegraph Road!
Mark Denver
Yes... but not more. It´s not bad playing, no way, but Country-Roads is Country-Roads and Sultans is Sultans, I think the melody won´t fit for the vibe of Sultans-Style.
Imagine John Denver & Mark Knopfler jamming.. 🤩
Sultans of the Country Roads 🎶
Well, I’m 63 love both John Denver and Dire Straits so not ashamed to say this is really good!
likewise ❤
62 here. Fan of both and thought this sounded great
67 and thought exactly the same thing. Remember strumming this song as a 17 year old and now Wichita g I could emulate the great MK… great stuff
Me too! And I’m 64!
63 too - same taughts
Denver straights what a lovely name for a long dusty road stretching into the sun..👍👍👍🇬🇧
Dire John🙌🏼
Nothing in the world can substitute John Denver's voice, but this still is pure genius.
It's meant to impersonate Knopfler.
This is awesome. John Denver and Mark Knopfler would be proud.
Es GENIAL!!!!!!
That Mark Knopfler guitar tone...♥
You never cease to amaze. Thank you.
Brought my guitar to the hospital the day before my dad died and played this for him. It holds a special place in my heart. You've done it more than proud.
Just outstanding.
My Dad used to play and sing this song for me when I was a little kid. It holds a special place in my heart too.
Every time I hear this song, I can’t help but think of my dad. Thank you.
Love John Denver and Dire Straits and think this is better than the original 😊
Totalmente
Fully agree 👍
Well, would not go that far personally, but pretty bloody good~!
Perfetto. Great vibrato, portamento and legato. And a perfect interpretation of Mark's singing and playing into a solo.
There are a lot of big words in there, Master Dragon, we're naught but humble pirates.😉
Not to mention al dente 😂
I Would Hope That John Would APPRECIATE This!!....
👏👏👏👏
As a fan of either John Denver and Dire Straits you really pleased me with this very much. Great as always. Thank you.
Thank you!
West Virginia has been my home since I was 4 days old. Left when I was 17 (the draft) and never went back. Too many questions and criticisms of what at we went through on the other side of the world and I found people that saved my life in Colombia. It’s where my father and his kin are from. Thanks for reminding me it’s not heaven but from there you can touch it. West “By God” Virginia will always be home.

Do the thing! Do the thing!
4:27 He's doing it! He's doing it!
The twiddly bits!!
Freaking Gold, 😂😂. ❤
This is what it would sound like if someone requested Mark sing Country Roads.
Yes, I believe that is the concept.
Wherever you are, the four corners, seven seas, outer space, home calls you back or at least your heart. Many Thanks to all creating this masterpiece.
Dear lord .. what a beautiful version ❤❤❤❤
Laszio, I love all your Dire Straits if rewrites! So much like finding an LP of unreleased songs. Bonus material.
Dire Straits lives on!
It echoes around on the wave of modern poprock!
Keep it alive, Laszlo! Keep it alive! Thank you!
Once again I'm impressed on how well you capture the essence of Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) when covering another writer's song. Just beautiful.
Really a great version with a perfect copy of Mark‘s guitar
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Here come Laszlo singing "I got a woman"
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh, yeah, the boy can play
I get this feeling that I should have been
home yesterday, yesterdaaaaaay!
Smoking hot rendition! Silk fingers on the fretboard, chill inducing solo! Thank you sir~ 🔥🙌
Country roads, take me home, to Cullercoats and Whitley Bay.
I really appreciate to what you've given the music community with take on it.
My face is sore from smiling. Love it!
I agree. This is better than the original.
As a player given to 'Knopfling' myself, I have to say, that, is outstanding. Chapeau!!
Absolutely awesome 👌 👏 ❤ A well loved song re- imagined by a pure genius 👏 👌 Love it ❤
Brilliant! Totally in context and style. The sound is 'Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler' for sure. Well done!
What a fantastic rendition, but the solo was on another earthly plain! That made my entire day! Thank you SO much, Lazlo!
GENIUS
from 3:19 on, is the best Knopfler's solo in years! 😄
What a great and fun idea. Thanks.
What a Fantastic guitar player😁👍👍
Just came across this now.... Awesome rendition
I dig the Tunnel of Love vibes here! One of my favorite Dire Straits songs, and suits Country Roads so well!
Down to the waterline too
This guy woke up and chose violence: blowing minds with his genius and skills 😁😁😁
Simply fantastic!!!!
"Swinging roads", it's awesome.
just one word: brilliant
Wonderful! And... nice of you to leave the imperfections in. I like an honest guitar. Love the chops and the particular vocal accents
…..Excellent guitarist and great arrangement.
Nice! That final solo 👌
You even played all the little fiddly-bits, Mar..er..Laszlo! Loved it!
I saw that interview where Knopfler was talking with his wife about doing the “fiddly bits” lol
@@noproblemguitar7395 I figured someone else out there would have been enough of a Knopfler fan to get the reference! Loved that session. Just so down to earth!
Absolutely amazing! Best version of this song I've ever heard, and I love the orighinal. Bravo sir! Standing ovation from me here.
Love it sir, thank you!
Thank you!
Lovely
Oh my......you are brilliant!
To be able to turn the classic Dire Straits sound into all types of top end music and make it hit worthy........well this is a gift. I am a guitarist and am in awe of you sir. I am still smiling after listening to this and your other classics......Bravo.......bravo......
This track is hot! 🎸
Can’t wait for 'If it were written by' Volume Five.
A truly sexy version ! That bridge at 2:37 ❤ 😍 Genius!!!
Fantastic idea you used sultans of swing backing very good 😊
Nice music to listen to - regardless if it's a niche theoretical collab video
Admire your work, Mr Buring!
Such a fine rendition.
Thank you Tony!
oh. my. gosh. this is simply fabulous. who was singing that sounded SO much like knopfer. and the guitar work was masterful. wow!
That would be me!
That tone, the Picking! Hermosa!
That was so amazing Laszlo! I'm just mesmorised watching your right hand. How you mute and kill notes is 100% MK to my ears. The tone, feel and dynamics. Not to mention the voice! I love how you break it down so quietly just like dIRE sTRAITS would do. But that final solo at the end of the song blew me away. Wow! 😮👍🎸
Super la version Country Roads â la façon de mon idole MK!!!!!
Not a big Straits fan or fan of Knopfler's vocs, but I was digging this! Nice guitar work. On the money.
Man, this is a masterpiece!
I like the original, but it seems this one is better. Great musician, congrats!
55 and lifelong fan of both as well and I too think this is brilliant
This is truly well done!
The Dire straits vibe is completely there, the voice surprised me the most, it is spot on just like the guitar tunes.
I would definitly buy this as a single. You are very talented.
Although i like john denver alot, i believe this is better than the original
I've never been a fan of country music... (I'm French... What do you expect? 😂) though, I'm a huge fan of Dire Strait... This is awesome.. Absolutely awesome!!
Almost thought this was Mark!! Love it....especially the solo at the end.
Absolutely spot on. Denver would love it.
Amazing. You are SO talented.
Nice arrangement and great playing.
Nice Cover. I love it! It captures the vib of Country Roads with the Dire Strait sound.
Thank you very much! It's like a greeting from a parallel reality!!!
Loved the break & solo❤ The 7ths were a touch of genius 🎉
Just awesome, Lazlo! I have been listening to the quiet little notes and fills that are part of Mark. He would do this and smile!
This is seriously impressive. I would love to hear you duet with Mark
Knopfler.
This is awesome, I am very touched.

brought back a tear drop of joy! reminded me of my old mum! RIP.
Gives me chills! The picturesque words of Henry John Deutschendorf, the musical wizardry of Mark Knopfler coming together as one! Brilliant, as always Laszlo! Think I'm going to listen to it 10 more times!
WOW, WOW, WOW!
Fantastic. The vocals kinda reminded me of Bob Dylan.
I really like this version
Wonderful 😊❤
I keep coming back to this man , this is just perfection!!
Nice Laszlo, as usual!
So wonderful!
Perfect
That's a beautiful version. I'd bet Mark Knopfler would love that.
I'm not sure. It must feel like identity theft.
incrível !!!!!!!! muito bom amei demais
AWESOME !!!!!!!!
WOW!
A perfect interpretation... Thank you! 🙏
Wow! That was very impressive
Great mixing of two fabulous artists!!
Well done very enjoyable
Exceptional
Awesome❤❤❤❤❤❤
amazing
This is seriously good stuff.
Awesome
It's sort of like a Bach or a Mozart legacy in the modern era in terms of style carrying over - such a reflection of Mark Knophlers's genius and respect for him. Beatifically composed and executed.
Thank you.
lovely cover Laszlo.
Thanks Tim!
New Upload means instant like. It can only be awesome! 🤟
Dire staits has their unique signature lead guitar...but JD singing comes out with that natural touch.. which is always original....
Amazing!😂
