- Aunque ya no esté al nivel de Dire Straits, o del Mark Knopfler de 1996 hasta 2005, Sultans of Swing es una leyenda que merece ser escuchada por cualquier asistente a un concierto de Mark.
Mark playing this is just like a stroll in the park for him... It seems so effortless but those who know a little bit of guitar playing realizes this guy is a true legend! Bless you, Mark! You're one of true gods of guitar!
He is the guy who created it, so its a given he will play it good plus he has probably played it zillion times but Whats amazing is he is still so great at it even at this age?
Really . That solo was sloppy and terrible
@@NzTings Sadly I have to agree with you
Agreed. He is freaking ridiculous. The most nonchalant chicken picking his way into our hearts like nobody else can.
ThePma ! I thing that Mark is Jesus of guitar, the others are saints ❤❤❤❤❤
If you don't like Mark Knopfler then you don't know what true guitar playing is! Sultan's Of Swing is a great song I never get tired of hearing it!
Me to.
I first heard it when it was released in 1978 and I've never once got tired of hearing it. Timeless and masterpiece are often misused.
But not in this case.
i rarely found people who didn't like his playing but he is very, very underrated by the general public. guitar players is a different thing, they know. that's why my friend calls him the Geddy Lee of guitar.
How true if you don't know Mark knofler. In top ten high up there. If you ate not a dead head learn dead live with Jerry. Man movement of the soul. Unreleased, true talent.
I think that's an extremely arrogant thing to say. People can dislike him, even if they recognise that he is good at guitar. Liking has nothing to do with it.
me encanta esta canción música de este artista con su guitarra ! parece mágica ! saludos mark desde México !❤
This guy never gets quoted in the greatest guitarists’ polls. He’s one of the very best imo.
My friend and I had just completed the first part of our conscription and he made a suggestion that we have a "social season" as celebration. It would be for December only.....which turned out to be two years. One morning he came to my place all excited about a song he heard the previous evening - did not quite catch the name but he thinks it is called " satans slaves". We went to every record shop in the city - nobody knew or heard of it & making fools of ourselves. Eventually turned out to be Sultans of Swing. Guess we listened fo it a zillion times. 🙃l
He makes it look so effortless, the most underrated guitarist ever, he deserves so much more recognition than he has received!
Sherry Taylor maybe the lack of recognition is his biggest blessing......
He doesn't want it. He said so himself. He didn't even show for the music hall of fame award...
Lack ????? Are you crazy??? He IS superfamous EVERYWHERE
How is he in any way underrated?
Far from underrated, he's been named #27th in Rolling Stones 100 greatest guitarist.
Mark could play this 100 different ways...and all versions would be inspriational.
this man is playing incredibly licks with fingerpicks, singing the lyrics and filling in the licks , this dude is out of this world
Sultans is the song Mark most plays with in his shows. Every version is slightly different than the one before. I think he does it to keep from being bored silly. He's been doing this song for how many years now? 40 or so? That's a long time. He treats the song like it's an old friend he's chatting up again, and just has fun with it.
Beautiful POV, Happy new year
I can’t imagine playing songs verbatim year after year. I know some people in the crowd hate it when the artist reinterprets the song but I love it.
I haven't seen any two performances of this song that were the same, but he doesn't seem to have ever played it wrong. Not sure he ever even bothered to learn it, it just seems like a virtuoso level improvisation every time. Just incredible.
Fr, it's like a jam song for him at this point
It was the first song he wrote, before Dire Straits was even started, so yes this song has been with him his entire career. To still make it sound fresh is truly impressive!
The one and only song my husband actually sang live in a Karaoke show and one more time going busking with me ! I will never forget you Scott ! Hoping you can still see me and that I have bought my first e-guitar on our wedding anniversary. I am practicing every day, hoping to get better so I can get back into recording music. Our Rolling Home is for sale and it breaks my heart, but I simply don't know how to live without you any more. Maybe music can help me to cope, but I'm missing your touch, your energy, your cooking, your love, your smile and even your singing! You always sang along to my music and I loved your husky voice. I know it's crazy to write this here in a youtube channel, but I only found out today that people are actually reading this sometimes. So maybe your soul can also read what I type. And Mark Knopfler, just in case you get to read this by any chance, you are my husbands hero and I am trying to learn to play like you (starting now). Wish me luck! Love your music !!!!!
😢
Soy Musico soy guitarrista... y se lo que es estar en un escenario y sentir como el publico te brinda ese calor ese cariño... pero cuando ya pasan los años y si no sigues practicando pierdes un poco de ese filing en los dedos de cuando estas en escenario todas las semanas... estos grandes musicos estos grandes guitarristas son lo mejor son la inspiracion de nuevos guitarristas y es por esa razon que le debemos mucho respeto y mucho amor asi pasen 100 años hay que darles siempre el cariño que le dabamos antes... en lo particular para mi los musicos de antes siempre seran los mejores ya que no existia mucha tecnologia y si...!!! tocaban en vivo y no como los de hoy en dia que lo hace todo una computadora.. Dios bendiga a los musicos de antes y sigan tocando porque los que sabemos de musica si sabemos apreciar... Thanks for sharing this video.
Mi esposo tambien es Guitarrista, y aún a diario se levanta y duerme practicando y estudiando , la verdad mis respetos y admiración a todos los que dedican su vida a la música a veces los que estamos detrás no sabemos el sacrificio, esfuerzo, dedicación, disciplina y práctica que requiere la música ...el me enseñó quienes de verdad son buenos músicos y como bien dice merecen respeto, a mi me gusta escuchar mucho a Jeff Beck y como cantante al señor Dan McCafferty y si hay gente única pero que le siguen día a día por dar lo mejor . A mi esposo lo conocí en un concierto y no dejo de dar gracias a Dios por ese día que me tocó trabajar para ellos. saludos y buena música. 🙏
Mark was a few days away from his 66th birthday when this was filmed, still playing at a virtuoso level, and doing it with ease. Fantastic stuff!
One of the greatest to walk on earth holding a guitar ❤
Marks guitar spilling a sparkling stream of exquisite diamonds so effortlessly, always a wonderful experience. Coolest rock tune ever written.
People like Mark should live forever
Мастерство не пропьëшь, не прогуляешь, не позабудешь. Оно как вино, с годами становится только лучше.
Браво Марк👏👏👏👏👏
To my future generation, this ancestor of yours, was listening to this song during the lockdown period enforced by governments all across the world because of Corona Virus, SARS-COV2 or COVID19 or Wuhan Virus in 2020. Today is already 45th day of Lockdown and watching and playing Mark Knopfler helps us to come out of great depression caused by lockdown.
@@tehcks yes we are !
Check out Sultans of Swing Cover - by StarovasTV.
The guy nails the song.
Dire Straits helped me out of depression 30 years ago. Mark Knopfler help me thru the lockdown now.
PERFECT, JUST PERFECT!! YES, LOCKDOWN, WHAT LOCKDOWN!! HA!!!
@@DrOffensive great to hear that
Mark knows all the fancy chords 👑 Living legend that we should all cherish now ... ☮️💟
I never get tired of hearing this guy.
A pesar de la edad, sigue teniendo agilidad y el mismo toque, ese sonido que lo identifica, un grande de los grandes un (maestro)
Seeing Mark Knopfler almost smile is a real treat! He's always so serious. I love it!
What a master.
This is the 3rd live version I've watched today and, every one of them is fantastic.
4 decades later, his guitar play transcends from speed/technical to now a completely different level of complexity in every notes he plays of the exact same song, a slower pace, but carefully listen and you’ll know where the real magic is.
I see it brother, as a guitarist I'm always tryna observe the greats..... kudo's for knowing what's awesome.....ur awesome!
His ability to play lead and rhyme simultaneously can't be understated
Such a fantastic guitarist and song writer, doesn’t hide behind a number of effects and has his own great style
Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. I could listen to Sultans if Swing for days at a time!
So True
Absolutely. Beautiful effortless music from an amazing time gone by.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
It's such a pleasure to be in his time, to see him perform. I can listen to Sultans for 100 years.
ok its been 100 now you can stop
61 years left in this bitch Bro
and more
sonny freeman WUT???
I feel the same way about Brothers in Arms, I was 15 when it was released and I've loved that song ever since,
Guitar brilliance personified. Following the tunes down a Mark Knopfler rabbit hole on UA-cam is a simple pleasure that takes you to a place of calm and tranquility
One of my favourite guitar players ever the man is a legend and a genius
Yep. One of my faves. Nobody sounds like MK. One of the greatest songwriter/ guitarists of our time. Telegraph road is my fave.
He just do what he wants and it will always sound perfect. That strat sound is simply uncomparable. The best word to describe Mark knofler sound is Melodic.
I don't have words to describe what this man's music means to me... it takes me to another place... it just soothes my soul. thank you Mark.
Christina W. BCdire streets
Ok,
Me too.
Here here! This song and others of his have helped through many tough days!
Amen same here
la musique est très bonne , mais que dit les paroles ? C'EST IMPORTANT AUSSI ! que dit les paroles ?
Legend !.... Walks through the strings like he's having breakfast.
Late in the game I'm sure, but I hope everyone realizes that this song was voted the second most difficult song ever to duplicate only to Eruption by Van Halen. Eternal Kudos to Mark... Absolutely one of my favorites! Thank you Dire Straits!!!!
True, Eric Clapton said it took him THREE WEEKS to learn the song so he could play with Dire Straits. It is incredibly difficult and Knopfler makes it look effortless...
@@toddrichardson8595 That sound very improbable. When or where did he say it? I would kinda sorta believe it would take Clapton three weeks to learn to play Mark's part of the song reasonably close to how Mark plays it, but as far as I know, Clapton never played his part when playing with Knopfler/Dire Straits, he always played rhythm guitar with maybe some improvised bits here and there. And the rhythm part of this song is not a three weeks kind of thing, especially not for someone like Clapton who has decades of experience with being able to join someone pretty much on the spot. Three hours, maybe.
And now don't forget he has written this song as well. Everyone who ist able to play this, is an expert...but to write this, you must be the god of music :)
@@toddrichardson8595
Uh that’s not true. Eric Clapton would play this by ear in an instant. He’s Eric Clapton….
Watching his right hand, tickling the chords lightly, literally unbelievable he can create those great riffs...
I love this song and I’ve just posted a video about how to play the guitar solos of it 🎸
It would be my pleasure if you watch this video on my channel 😍
Don’t forget to subscribe 😉
It’s 2019 and I’m still listening to Sultan of Swing. I can still remember when my cousin bought the single released in 1979. We were amazed by the guitar solo. Mark Knopfler is a legend.
Although adored and respected by fellow musicians he is underrated by the public. Knopfler's legacy will wind up standing the test of time. In music what transcends all else is quality.
Exactly! Thank you for putting into words that which we all know but isn't said aloud.
Adored and respected? Maybe by some respected musicians but nobody would even indict them into the HOF.
He's a master in the mixing room as well. When you purchase something he recorded you can bet it's flawless.
@@Tomekkplk So? They did the same shit to RUSH. That's just Rolling Stone Politics.
Thanks for adding "by the public". Because he's widely celebrated by musicians and musicologists.
Года конечно берут своё, но как классно снова послушать легенду...
Fabuloso Mark Knopfler, de los mejores guitarristas que existen, en una canción única. ¡Enhorabuena Mark!!
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Без таких как Mark Knopfler жизнь была бы не полноценной !!!
One measure of musical genius is how many ways one can play the same tune, Mark is amazing and just great listening
I watch his fingers, I hear the sweet guitar, and I weep precious tears of joy.
Thank you Mark.
One of the best guitar players and a true gentleman thanks for the memories mark !
Remember Sultan of Swings heard 40 years ago, still as exciting as ever . One of the greatest in his field.
Makes guitar playing looks so simple that it’s a pleasure to watch and he encourages people to want to play music just like him.
One of the nicest people in rock, and he sure can knock out a tune.
Sir Mark Knofler u are truly a legend. Ur songs will forever be cherished in our hearts.
I absolutely adore the impromptu rendition of olé!
Absolute class mark!
I think he’s added so much subtlety into the playing of this song over the years that I don’t think anyone can replicate it like him. I’m no guitarist but I reckon I could learn many of his songs. This one, however, anyone would be mightily challenged by.
nevers ages this type of playing by mark , he added even more to the song with flair
I grew up with this great musician’s guitar sounds in my teenage in SRILANKA with audio tapes !!!!
Now I am 60 odd still enjoying the all of his hits !!!! With a great memory !!! Dire Straits!!!
Keep it up Mark !!!!
It's been like 40 years and he still can play it absolutely perfect and amazing, this is true art.
Edelweiss he made some mistakes though
I never tire of hearing S of S.
What he lacks in vocals, he more than makes up in guitar skills, this man is a true legend on guitar.
How can any human dislike this art piece. It’s he who has created it and he can do dafuq he wants!
There are other great guitarists but only Knopfler can cast a spell with his particular kind of magic.
I disagree....Brian May is as good if not better...
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne How can you disagree? She gives you a disclaimer right off the bat, saying there are many great guitarists, but only Knopfler has this magic? He plays with his freaking fingers bro? Brian May uses a pick and an octaver, they are totally different players, and styles of music. You're just a fan boy, stinking up the place with your opinion after the OP gave you the perfect comment to celebrate? Douche bag.
@@JeighNeither I can disagree because we don't yet live in communist China where disagreeing can cost you your life. Fan boy? I am 56, NOT a boy. I smell nothing from the keyboard. If you smell anything it's likely to be your attitude. As for being a 'douche bag'....why do you choose to be so rude. I'm not a rude person, however on this occasion I will make an exception for you. FUCK OFF.
He is a commecialized guitarist and not one of the elites. Just an average or slightly above average guitarist. If you want to listen to an elite guitarist well here is an example. P.S. You will probably never hear a elite guitarist played on the radio. These guys are pure geniuses. The best of the best. They are the ones with only a few thousand or a few hundred thousand fans around the world. That is, that they are non commercialized........ ua-cam.com/video/qGJ9S3Is6lY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2oyhlad64-s/v-deo.html and from the younger generation ua-cam.com/video/fomb4YZC8x8/v-deo.html And for something really special..... Enjoy.ua-cam.com/video/W3BzAKHCEvo/v-deo.html
@@bogdananderson1472 maybe but he’s got the gift of songwriting too. He’s got an unmistakable style. You can tell MK with just a few notes he understands the power of silence and phrasing which makes him stand out . Maybe commercial I don’t think he’d dispute that but he was granted the ability to bring joy to millions.in the era of great bands that no longer exist
Top 20 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos y de todos los generos
Last sounds as I die I want it to be "Sultans of swing" !! To die with a smile on my face!!
It is always a great thrill to listen to this song. Mark's beautiful voice and his uncomparable solos are forever welcome whenever we hear his songs.
He is my all time fav for me he is the god of guitar
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Grande Mark! Sei e sarai sempre una leggenda della chitarra. I tuoi soli sono delle canzoni dentro altre canzoni. Hai fatto la storia della chitarra 🎸
Um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo ....Mark Knopfler....dire Straits
My oldest brother gave me CD's of Mark Knopfler's music, he was a keen music-lover and played piano and organ. It's because of his presents that I've come to know Knopfler's work. Now that my oldest brother plays music in his own heaven, gone from us here on the planet, I'll always enjoy this music with a little sadness too. But mostly with fond memories of him.
Marian Baghor god bless and god speed!
as a youth in the mid 80s I could not stand Dire Straits, these days i have massive respect for this man
Why?
Knopfler’s playing never gets old - he’s so tasteful and melodic, truly a unique voice in rock guitar playing
Love it !!! Nothing better than this !
Mark is absolutely amazing.. The best guitarist in the world...
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Ppl here argue how good MK is as a guitar player or what is his rank among peers. The point is hes one of the greatest but more importantly hes a songwriter and musician. He fckn wrote all those immortal hits.
Great.. Great.. Mark..you still sound like those 70th..80th era.. We r with u Mark, till the end..
Best guitar player ever, it come so easy for him out of nowhere
This song marks my whole life. What a guitarist!!!
I seldom ever comment on anything, alas I have to say this is unadulterated mastery. The music, the guitar, the vocals flow through Mk seamlessly, incredibly beautiful and such an inspiration on how to live life.True mastery and true passion are always ageless
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Mark Knopfler and that red Stratocaster.....I remember a friend imported the first album from the UK just so he could get it sooner. We sat there listening to this song and that solo and we were mesmerized! That many years later we've all grown older & the body may be a little tired but the spirit is undeniably strong, I'm still mesmerized by his playing, it feels like it was yesterday we heard this for the first time. Good on you Mark Knopfler!
In 1979 I heard this song for the first time on radio. I was completely impressed, coudnt believe someone was playing that. And now, more that 50 years later I am still completely.....and enjoy all his songs.
No pick, only his fingers and thumbs, as he plays solos, brush strokes, finger-picking, anything at all. All this along with a great song, superbly sung 🙏.
Musicians of this caliber give me such comfort. I wonder if they know how much we appreciate them?
nive reply
they do, cause people like us, whenever we meet them tell them so. As long as they don't get tired of hearing it....I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Berry, a bunch of years back, and was sure to let him know how influential a guitar player, and a lyricist he was.
I'm sure he's heard it a million times before, from people that were great guitarists on their own, but he thanked me anyways.
Live long and prosper Mark, you are one of the greats........
UNBELIEVEABLE.. THESE GUYS ARE AS OLD AS I AM.. AND I'M OLDER THAN DIRT.. they are so phenomenal after almost 50 YEARS OF FAME; They are blest by the Muses of Music... I would love to see them one more time live... JUST INCREDIBLE.. I used to be able to play like Mark .. but Arthritis has take its toll.. He is probably one of the greatest guitarists in the world on the level of Andres Segovia... just awesome.
+Carmine-James Pitaniello IMHO You've missed some math classes because Dire Straits was founded in 1977, so it takes 38 years of fame!
Luis Note that I said almost...lol..at my age 12 years is close enough.
+Carmine-James Pitaniello Maybe you'd keep on paying with your friends because i do not know you but, if you type that these guys are as old as you...
+Carmine-James Pitaniello I agree. He is fantastic.
Tommy gybäck är bäst
Gracia por Mark Knopfler , en vivo. Sultans of Swing es uno de mis favoritos de todos los tiempos!
Mark performing live so great even his age getting increased.
Unbelievable. Phenomenal version by the Guitar God Mark Knopfler and his band.
Gold medal for the great video filming. Thank you very much.
+STRATMAN firdaus I don't think so... he seems to be old, sick and tired. It's sad he still tries to sing...
blekfut Fuck off!
+STRATMAN firdaus I kinda agree with blekfut. Mark is great but REALLY think about it. I take it you're a guitar guy with that name, as am I. Mark is on a level few will ever reach but compare this to say a recent video of Clapton, Buddy Guy or Eddie Van Halen. This has TONS of missed notes, especially the last minute or so of the last solo. You will NEVER see any of those guys I mentioned, along with tons of other guitar heros making that many mistakes. This was not a good performance by his standards.
+Rmurder A solo is what ever the guy that is playing it wants it to be at that time. You don't think the song evolves in his head as 30 years go by or it is just that studio take? I don't think you get to determine if Mark Knopfler made a mistake in his solo. I think Mark gets to determine that.
+Sean Roche. the mistakes were misses notes, muted notes and accidentals that were 100% mistakes.
Ay pero que alegria que me da cada vez que escucho a Knopfler tocar "Sultans"
When I heard this for the first time, I was amazed, I said finally a real clean Strat sound,
which was confirmed by him using single coil elements, when they had a gig in Seventies in Rotterdam Netherlands, I had binoculairs, and yes he played all with finger picking!
72 now and still cant get enough of it :-)
Watching from Ireland
It’s 2020 and I,m listening too.
keith woollen me as well!
Me to!!!!!!!
ME TOO
So do I.
Its timeless beauty
He just goes through the motions with this song now - He's played it SO many times! The 80's and 90's versions will always be the one's to be remembered by - real legendary playing!
My favorite guitarist and the reason I started playing
Always has been one of my all-time favorite songs. I like how he has evolved the song. Much classier if that's possible.
que grande Mark Knofler, hasta en la improvisacion es unico, es ecucharlo los primeros acordes de su guitarra y sabes que es el
My heroe Mr. Mark Knopfler still playing because his heart nevert stops and his fingers either!!!
It's so much fun watching a genius at work. More talent in his little finger than I got in my whole being.
Ese ole ole ole, es un invento Argentino!!!!!, q tema por Dios! .Q no muera nunca! Saludos de Argentina!
No dicen ole olé dicen ole oe
O MELHOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS É MK♥️
SAUDAÇÕES, CHEIO DE BRAZUCAS POR AQUI. NÓS BRASILEIROS AMAMOS VOCÊ. 🇧🇷
Every time i watch Mark Knopfler playing this song, there is something different in his playing
I agree have watch many Sultans he always change the way he play ginius
Loving this slower, stripped down version of Sultans. Awesome
As a sponsor of the Newcastle Football Team MK knows how to lure his fans into his bond with this intro.
Foram varios os concertos que assisti de Mark Knopfler e tb com Dire Straits e sem duvida um Grande guitarrista.Tive o prazer de o conhecer pessoalmente autografando me o bilhete que até hoje permanece comigo.Um grande Senhor.
Mark: Ugh, how many freaking times have I played this? FML
Everyone Else: WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this guy.
One of the greatest musician ever!! MONSTER
Loved it then, love it now. This amazing guitarist could bring me out of a comma. Fabuluous memories.
Simply amazing..I just see his hands moving all over the place and the most amazing clean sound just rings out of that guitar. It's no wonder Rolling Stone put him in the top 5 guitarists of all time.
Q buen guitarrista x faborrr el siempre guapo como siempre estoy re enamoradaaa buenísimo 😘😘😘
A class act! Instead of impatiently waiting for the crowd to die down he just improvised,
