Kfir, in response to your message ( I followed your link, now I have to rely on this video to Communicate, as I forgot where the link was at, lol) I have heard so many talented Guitarists Jam to on of the many Backing Tracks, some have sh*t ALL over it with 1000,00 notes/second, others ..... Note for note stuff, yawn!!..... Mark never played a whole solo Live twice, there was always the certain bits that HAD TO be the same (ie the twiddly bit at the end) BTW You have took that to an awesome level..... I must say, If you had been around in 85-86, (Although Mark isn't a real metal fan) I would of persuaded him to let you join in.......I have enjoyed your rendition IMMENSLY, I just sent the Link to MK ..... remind me to copy/paste what he says back.... I am just going for another couple of listens, Peace Kifr
@@4482paper Tbh, Frog Leap Studio's version isn't bad but it replaces basically all of the riffs with power chords which ended sounding kind of bland. And the solo in Leo's cover sounds so out of place. This one actually has some element of the original and the solo doesn't sound out of place. But hey, it's subjective. Enjoy whichever one you like. 🤘
I see that some haters are too soft for metal... Keep those likes coming so UA-cam will push this video to more viewers. Thanks! Here’s the standard version for all them sensitive Knopfler purists: ua-cam.com/video/0eir4YIu7bw/v-deo.html
I’ve played Sultans of Swing for years with the original twangy clean tone (and a little chorus), but had never seen a cover like this! Awesome tone and feel. I’ve been practicing this version and it’s taught me more about the song than I never knew. Thanks for the inspiration and the lesson!
Słyszałem wielu gitarzystów, ale ten facet, to prawdziwy muzyk z wielkim wyczuciem i wrażliwością. Niesamowite umiejętności. Pozdrawiam i życzę dużo zdrowia.
This is AWESOME! At 61 years young I'm happy to say Dire Straits is still one of my favorite groups! That I can hear the lyrics through the strings is giving me goose bumps! I'm fairly certain even Mark Knopfler would like this cover!
You can touch it believe me... I hadn't played for almost 2 years till 3 months ago and started transcribing/learning this 2 months ago and I have it almost perfect now. Just cant figure out the last lick cause it's so quick haha. If you put the time in you'll get there. It takes commitment but boy do I feel good being able to play this now!!!
AWESOME! this is a perfect example when man becomes one with the guitar! playing with a lot of spirit! thanks for playing this for us, l love metal and this song is one best guitar rock songs, so you made a great fusion, greetings from Portugal. this was the 1st I've seen , but will follow your other videos
I usually don’t comment on videos, but I have to say this is how music should be evolving. You’ve taken an amazing underrated song from an awesome guitarist like Mark, and put a really cool spin on it (tight as hell by the way) to reinvent it without ruining all the ingredients that made it special in the first place. You’re making sure people of every generation will always know how much Rock & Metal matters. My hat is off to you good sir. Rock on
Sorry dude…this is recognized by most GREAT guitarists, and musicians, as quintessential excellence on guitar, a landmark in the History of Rock, and for some, Music as a whole. It’s an example of Mastery, that most aren’t aware is possible. And for Mark Knopfler…it’s become effortless. Hopefully, what you meant by ‘underrated’, was intended to imply it was ‘under appreciated’ by a lot of ‘mainstream’ music listeners. I doubt many people under 30 have ever even heard this song, unless it was in a movie, tv show, or commercial…much less heard of Dire Straits.
Yes the literal synonym for ‘underrated’ is ‘under appreciated’ and obviously if you look at the context of what I was saying, that’s what was intended. And you just proved my point exactly… most people now days don’t even know who Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler is. That is a crying shame. So what I was saying is that outside of the very small world of “great” guitarists and enthusiasts like most of us on this thread, I sincerely hope that more people of all generations will get to hear this great music; and that’s why I like the way this guy is evolving it. Why take issue with such a positive comment in the first place?
Over a Hundred Bikers went to my friends Funeral where this was played, for the last mile we all removed our Crash Helmets and wore them on our arms as a mark of respect and the Police just turned a Blind Eye and escorted us through the Traffic. This song is so moving for so many people for so many reasons! It is one of those Epic tracks!
This is aways been one of my favorite songs. And brother you bring it to life for me and countless others. Almost all the Marine Corps Marsoc Raiders listen to your music since I played the first song for them by you. Ty Kfir you are the best brother.
I used to get this song stuck in my head as a kid and for most of my life, it's been one of my favorites and you actually managed to make it even more awesome...
Awesome. Great job dude. This is one of solos why Knoffler is one of all time greatest. Not how many notes you play or how fast - but the gaps he leaves and the feeling in the notes. Bloody genius.
I've come back to this over a dozen times. Simply amazing. Never noticed you had birds in the background till ours died...and I couldn't figure out where the chirping was coming from.
Playing guitar as good as this was the only thing I wanted to do in life. But life is strange. I am stuck in corporate job, far away from my passion / dream.
Eu já me escrevi amigo !!! Parabéns você é muito,muito,muito talentoso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTA 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literalmente fantástico. Abraços do Brasil !
Hell yeah...your other version brought me here...and I'm glad it did. As a metal head and metal player, I love metal versions and twisting them myself...but this...is way out of my league. Insane.
New! Tabs: lnk.to/sultansofmetaltabs
You should sell the backing tracks too. I really want this one for example, it's amazing!
Yeah I would buy your backing aswell !!! Please send link if possible
Sell your backing track with please
says can't purchase in my country USA, bummer will learn it by your video, but would love to get the tabs and support your version Metal Sultans!

Sultans of Swing: Mark Knopfler

Ahahahah
Did not see that one coming
Ха))))
Mutants of Swing
Sultans of leather pants : Mark Knope-fler.
Amazing metal version without ruining the spirit of sultans. 10 stars!!
I give it 11
@William Halter Sounds like you may be referring to Leo Moriaccoli's (I think that's how it's spelled...) version.
@William Halter agreed
One of the greatest songs gets a well deserved metal cover. Amazing job
It already had an awesome metal cover from Frog leap studios ;-)

@@indiegum1694 that's why I said well deserved lol
Good on ya bro, keep the music flowing through your veins 🤘
@@indiegum1694 the chick in that cover is great tho.
Just like guitar George,
He knows al the chords
and harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
I don't understand how any true Knopfler/DS fan could not love this. Amazing. Just amazing.

your comment was soo good 😂

Sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No matter what you do, people will always be dissatisfied, keep it that way @kfir!
This is even too soft to be metal, don't mind them :')
damn, dude - that was epic!! 🤯
Hello
I'll be honest, I could have used a little more cowbell.
I believe you're looking for BOC !!! LOL
I see that you, too, are a man of culture
Best coment ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂
well...i got a fever...and the only prescription is more cowbell as well
Wrong song buddy
This is the purest metal/instrumental cover I've seen/heard ever. Looked so effortless but so amazingly executed. 5/5 AND TWO thumbs up from me.
3:06 is the part that you came to see
Naahhh, the first solo
1:38 is the best IMO
I came here for the WHOLE DAMN THING! 😆
I read this comment at 3:05
Absolutely
Dude....that gave me chills listening to that.
WELL DONE!!!
Holy moly, you did Mark Knopfler proud brother! Rock on! 🤘

Firstly. That was frickin awesome!
Secondly. Well done UA-cam recommendations!
I've been playing for 60 years. I don't play metal, I'm a blues and hard rock guy.
That being said, I REALLY appreciate what you did here!
I love the lick at 3:19 soooooo much, it gives me eargasms ❤️❤️❤️
Actually mood I feel like my ears are seizing with pleasure
yess its acc sick
My ears are ejaculating
Welcome to the "skin orgasm" club. The pleaurable sounds you are feeling are techically hitting your musical G spot.
Youre welcome.
It has always been my favourite part of the solo in the original but the metal version is awesome
Kfiro you are the sultan of guitar!!
And the guitar is his scepter.
This is AWESOME! At 61 years young I'm happy to say Dire Straits is still one of my favorite groups! That I can hear the lyrics through the strings is giving me goose bumps! I'm fairly certain even Mark Knopfler would like this cover!

Hi 👋 kfir onchaion san..if you don't mind, I want a BT.on this..😁🙏😁
Excellent rendition man! Love how you somehow managed to keep it true to knopfler.
Now can we get an Eagles: Metal California 😅✌️
YES BRO, THIS WOULD BE AMAZING
Yessszz!!
YEAHH DUDE!!!
Yeaaaaaah
UP
Probably the hands down best arrangement I’ve ever heard of Sultans Of Swing, I’m a decent guitarist and even I can’t touch that!!!
One phrase at a time
You can touch it believe me... I hadn't played for almost 2 years till 3 months ago and started transcribing/learning this 2 months ago and I have it almost perfect now. Just cant figure out the last lick cause it's so quick haha. If you put the time in you'll get there. It takes commitment but boy do I feel good being able to play this now!!!
@@ducccccccccc it's finger picking. I was able to nail it perfectly when I was learning Travis picking. Timing is definitely key
I love Dire Straits and I love this SONG❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Why take issue with such a positive comment in the first place?
When it started, for a moment I thought I was listening to 'Born to be Wild'. Hats off to this metal version, mate. Splendid job!
Because it was a riff from Born to be wild. 👍🙂
This is what you get when you’re so attached to your instrument that it becomes a part of you. Absolutely amazing… love it Kfir

That's the way you do it! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Dude! That was epic
You just made 4:41min look like 1 minute. Great job! I enjoyed it
This is aways been one of my favorite songs. And brother you bring it to life for me and countless others. Almost all the Marine Corps Marsoc Raiders listen to your music since I played the first song for them by you. Ty Kfir you are the best brother.
Never been a Metal guy, but he's dang good! Enjoyed your rendition. More please.
Hands down one of the best covers of this classic on UA-cam, awesome!!!
This is wonderful. Great playing, beautiful touch, and all the detail work. Fantastic performance and interpretation. Bravo.
Lifelong fan of Knopfler and DS.........that was outstanding!!! Nice work.
One of the best cover I ever heard. The man IS a Sultan of swing, definitely !!
I am speechless.. I have not blinked my eyes for those incredible 4:40 minutes
I didn't expect it to sound this good as metal.... I'm impressed.
I rarely watch guitar videos the whole way through due to my attention span but that was majestic. Truly incredible. Love your vids. Parabéns.
Brother,If I could Play like that Id never leave my Room, Id sit there and Jam till my fingers fell off, Love it,G R E A T J O B ..
Little Sister
I said that when I got my DD implants, never left the room but then I got hungry.! Besides my wife wasn’t impressed.!
Practice makes perfect.
If you never left your room and just sat there and jammed all day, you could play like this
How do you think he got that good?
Mr. Ochaion, when he plays his guitar, he can always feel it, it's really amazing
I’ve watched all the posts over the months, this one is my favourite.
Dude looked like he had jaundice but blasted his way through. Amazing
nate man sultan of yellow
I was skeptical of a metal version of this song but this is awesome. Well done. Also, love the guitar. Looks like a Firebird crossed with a Wolfgang.
This is seriously the most badass cover I've ever heard. I cant stop listening to it lol keep them coming!
This is the redo version Music didn't know it needed! Utterly beyond amazing!
Put this on an album, I for one would buy it. Brilliant
How could anyone give a thumbs down to this, he’s brilliant. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Goosebumps from start to finish! Thank you for this cover man from new Zealand 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just when I thought this amazing song couldn’t get any better.....🙏🏻
I used to get this song stuck in my head as a kid and for most of my life, it's been one of my favorites and you actually managed to make it even more awesome...
Terry Williams asked, and you delivered!!!
**standing ovation**
First different genre cover that I actually LOVE. Thank you!
My neighbours really enjoyed listening to this ... whether they wanted to or not!! ... 😁😁
Well you just said they enjoyed it.
Same I'm playing this through my amp at 3/4 of volume
Simplesmente magnifico a melhor de todas as versões que já vi 👍👍
Your best performance with out a doubt.. You have refreshed a classic and not distroyed it... Amazing and has inspired me to pick up my guitar again.
Magnificent version of a legendary song.
I play guitar because of your video. You are my inspiration
The Eagles - Hotel Metal.....you can.....
motel california
METAL California :)
WE NEED THIS MR. KFIR!!!
I'm kinda digging the name Hotel Metallifornia. Maybe he can do it in a Metallica style.
up
Bloody hell,, this is perfect..
Love the style ..
Great tone from that cool axe 👍
🆗
Luar biasa,,,
I keep on listening to this, and it just get's better every time I hear it!! I am green, really really green.
Awesome. Great job dude. This is one of solos why Knoffler is one of all time greatest. Not how many notes you play or how fast - but the gaps he leaves and the feeling in the notes. Bloody genius.
So glad you didnt change the pattern like others cover players. Keep rocking.
Other guitarists change the pattern because they dont have the skills to play it the way its supposed to be played..kfir doesnt have that problem lol
jordan longstreet exactly .
Which pattern?
@@sonnenhafen5499 I'll take a rough guess and say the rhythm pattern. Most covers changes the rhythm to a much simpler rhythmic pattern.
*WOW! I WAS PREPARED TO HATE IT FOR MESSING WITH A CLASSIC BUT DAMN I'M LOVING IT!!*
Awesome cover! 👏 The first riffs sound like “Born to be wild” 🤘
I've come back to this over a dozen times. Simply amazing. Never noticed you had birds in the background till ours died...and I couldn't figure out where the chirping was coming from.
Wow. Probably the most talented guitarist I've heard in a very long time.
Nice version Kfir, i love your playing and your feel is amazing, very inspiring mate.
You just earned a new subscriber my man. One of my favorite songs mixed with one of my favorite genres. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Well done
Spectacular playing!
And amazing sounding, and looking, Framus axe!
Been wanting a Framus since, forever.
OMG.... I´m unworthy... I can´t stop listening to your Coverversions... AWESOME !!!!!!
Savage. It’s enough for most guitarists to be able to play the song in it’s original format and he turns it into one long guitar solo …..Awesome 👊🤘🔥
Magnificent, bringing metal power to a classic pub rock tune. Some awesome chops! Thanks. Subbed.
Just casually playing with his eyes shut hahaha! - I LOVE THIS COVER! nice work
Playing guitar as good as this was the only thing I wanted to do in life. But life is strange. I am stuck in corporate job, far away from my passion / dream.
As long as you are breathing it's never too late to do a U turn ,if you want to.
You don't have to be a star or UA-camr to enjoy learning... Pick one up.. play because you want to.
QUIT IT😈🎸🎸🎸
Buy a guitar and play when you have some time from your job
The dynamics to this entire sound is amazing.
I think kfir loves this song so much because he covered it in every kind of music
I think noboby can't love THIS song,if they love solid real music
