This dude appeared out of nowhere, uploaded the best Acoustic covers of the most iconic Guitar solos in history, and then vanished into thin air...
Então né cara
its been years i still listen to his covers
@@plymouth8711 exactly and youtube too keeps suggesting this guys videos to me. Love it.
@@vishalprasadacoustic he really could have grow a lot :( RIP
As a legend does
*But do you know all the chords like Guitar George?*
😂
Oky bravo
No!!! But he have a day time Job
@@franciscoaranda3704 No, Harry has a day time job.

Me, looking at my guitar : ..
My guitar : "don't even think about it"
😂🤣😂🤣
I feel the same way :(
Best comment I've seen in a while!
That's hilarious! 🤣👍
😄
This has got to be one of the prettiest guitars I have ever seen. Absolutely love the natural grain pattern
Agreed! Anybody know the make?
@@vancedorgan9173 Ibanez EW50
How many chords do you know?
Guitar George: Yes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hell who is guitar george?
Great one, buddy! Makes me laugh hard! 😁😁😁
@@Robinson.69, a guy who knows all acords! 😛
@@Robinson.69 hear the song and then u understand
Finally a guy that plays acoustic cover without slapping the body or strings
too right!
Yup, hell right
So glad it's not just me...
@@lennym1273 you aint alone
@@lennym1273 you aint alone
"Oh, you are Guitar George?"
"Name every chord then"
TH-cam should give him an award for such performance
I wish youtube did these kind of things...
This song never will be old.............
It already is... not that its a bad song or anything.
Get old you mean?
@@ajg8600 You're wrong, this is not old, this is a fucking Classic!
Gets older everyday
@@santaflow133 he meant that LITERALLY the song is old. Which AJ G said "it is" which it is. He then said that it's not a "bad song or anything" meaning that it's timeless. He literally said the same thing you said and you said he was wrong lol.
What’s more impressive is how he came up with that lead.
Mark Knopfler is an amazing guitar player. He chicken picks a majority if not all of his parts in the songs.
It’s clear he’s thinking about chord tones for his melodies. And throwing in some more scalar stuff to link it together. Then it’s mainly the fact that he’s clearly a fan of country style picking and rhythm. It‘a definitely one of the pinnacles of guitar playing.
spawn D It’s not chicken picking, it’s full fingerstyle. The plectrum never comes out.
@@jordanlake471 it's not even the standard fingerstyle the majority is used to .. he essentially finger plucks using only his thumb and index finger !!
Is it my reception, there seems to be a lag of some kind????
Such talented people...maybe I should stop procrastinating and apply myself...
Tomorrow
I feel you
Now : )
im the same ,im gunna open that tanglewood case one day lol
ah yes I too said this when I bought my guitar
...10 years ago
and I still can't play it
The best looking guitar I’ve ever seen.
@@anirudhnt4487 Slippin’ Jimmy would approve.
You haven’t seen many guitars boi
@@Alababm matter of taste, some schmuck thought your mom looked decent enough too.
Its the playing
What's he got to do with it @@KitchenerLeslie2
How did he do that without tattoos?
That's funny. We were having a conversation just the other day about basket ball players and tattoos. Back in the day you hardly ever saw tattoos on basketball players. Even today you see alot of high school kids with tattoos playing basketball. Do they really feel without tattoos they can't play as well or is it for intimidation for their opponents?
@@davepelfrey3958 cross interesets yo
bullshit
😄 he's guitar nerd
Mark don’t have no tattoos.
"Sultans of Swing" was originally conceived by Knopfler as an open tuning piece for acoustic guitar. He would be pleased to hear your cover, I think.
@@guicuecaseca still alive
'Would' also indicates the consequences of an imagined situation or event. It isn't just the past tense of 'will' you pair of absolute super brains.
@@bri_er_ley6868 ahahaha love you😂
@Santa Claus knopfler wasn't happy with the way it came out acoustically and if I remember correctly, was just gonna scrap it until he got a strat and found the sound he was looking for.
@@elabbassennouni87 he beter fcking be
Beautifully played, I can see that it takes a lot of talent and a LOT of practice to be able to play that piece , and so nicely, but imagine being able to write stuff like that. Truly that is a gift.
Never would have guessed this song would work so well acoustically. Sick. Such a great song too.
basically every clean electric song sounds good on acoustic
Came here to see the guitar, stayed to hear the great music.
I've been watching this talented guitarist for a few years now and the speed and effortless way in
which he plays the guitar are amazing. He makes the most complex of passages look easy.
A true artist!
When the world needed him most, he vanished . COME BACK TO US, ALL MIGHTY!
To play that, you must be a specialist. To write that, you must be God!

@@iamanovercomer3253 or it could be a bunch of little rocks that made a big rock. who knows
Hey...how about Layla by Eric Clapton???
Archit Save yes!!!
Archit Save agreed that would be awesome!

Archit Save he has already done the Layla solo
Noah Whiteaker I know..... this request was much before that
Still one of my favorite pieces of guitar playing ever. And this was played so clean. Well done
Why I can't stop coming back here and listening this unique cover, you are phenomenal.
"They don't give a dam about any trumpet playing band, it ain't what they call rock and roll"
Crisp fretwork. Impeccable notes. A joy to the ears.
Clean af, love the really difficult bends here. Especially on Acoustic
man this guy is absolutely amazing every song i see exactly perfectly played, timed strummed no mess ups awesome!
I named my guitar “George”. It still doesn’t seem to know all the cords....
I fucking love your channel and all you videos , you are doing a relly good job , i can't watch without wanting to pick my guitar and try to play some solos x)
i get that feeling too lol
how long do you play guitar? When did you started? How often do you play guitar?
wow ur bad ass i seen almost all your videos u inspired me to continue, i was wondering if u can make a guitar tab for sultans of swing I would greatly appropriate it
This cover is great! I uploaded a cover of this, but it's not as good...
What a cover man dude you rock
The man himself would love this
Aprendi a tocar vendo 200 vezes esse vídeo, muito obrigado !
That performance was fantastic. Please upload the entire song... we want more!
I love that guitar dude. It's fucking awesome
Agreed!
Lauco its also really cheap but very rare.
The One Above All What was the model name again?I knew it once
Game Master Ibanez ew50. Its a pretty rare guitar. I only know about it because my cousin has one and i couldn't find the same model for sale.
Game Master you can get a look alike guitar from Ibanez.
What kind of wood is it made with? It gets prettier every time I see it.
Coco bolo ( this is phonetic I don't know how to write it)
50% German 50% Polish handmade Rosewood. Thanks for asking
The neck is mahogany, The fretboard is rosewood, and the body is monkey pod.This was an exotic wood series that unfortunately, they don't make anymore.I was lucky enough to play one.
@@bobbyjones-uv5cn The Wood is Cocobolo with an Ebony fret-board and bridge. I managed to snag one up in Switzerland second hand last year. Absolutely beauty.
@@phateisboss2075 www.chorder.com/acoustic-electric-guitars/ibanez/ew50-4570
This guitar doesn't have cocobolo, but there is another guitar in the EW series that is made with cocobolo.I can't remember which one it is though.
This is not a talent, this is a gift. Wow! Superb!
Que violão maravilhoso 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks for uploading my request :D
Thanks, it was a good request! :)
Acoustician No problem! :D
Melonade
Nimesh Sharma Yes?
finally we see what you request before.. nice req...
Man! Your videos are amazing! Congratulations from Brazil!
The amount of times I’ve played this on guitar hero bro, this is so sick
Where are you acoustician? You vanished when the world needed you the most
What a wonderful version on a very beautiful guitar!!
Omg that is great ! and your guitar is stunning :0
guitar is Ibanez EW50
Some of the best playing I’ve heard.
That guitar is a thing of beauty!
Je ne comprends pas ceux qui ont mis "dislike" !!! Vous êtes un super musiciens, un régale à entendre ! C'était même trop court 👍
this was pretty incredible. It's hard to pull off a solo written for a stratocaster on an acoustic guitar. Bloody well done
Agreed
Actually it was originaly written for acoustic but mark didn't like the sound until he found a strat.
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x Yeah, he defo played a solo exactly like that on an acoustic before he ever found a strat. Totally,
@@frankslade33 Bro Knopfler said it himself.
one of the best solos of Guitar history and performed very lovely
Simply the Best I have heard, you are truly gifted! God bless you and your family
what strings are those? never seen bends like that on an acoustic guitar
Tyler Giesey that’s what i was thinking
Possibly a gauge 10 electric string? Or maybe thicker still? But certainly not your typical acoustic string.
he says .12 in the description. I d be scared to bend those tbh
They don't look or sound like normal acoustic strings. I was wondering if they were all nickel and maybe flatwound? Listening to the slides, they seem impossible.
@@frmcf I'd imagine that guitar plays pretty smooth! Probably helps too!
What an incredibly beautiful guitar.
It's an Ibanez EW50. I wanted to buy one but I guess they don't sell it anymore
I can watch this many Times with tears in my eyes
I'm impressed. Beautiful to watch and hear. Thank you!
Are any of your acoustic transcripts available ? You have done a fantastic job on all of these classic solos. cheers and thanks
Did a pretty good job with this iconic piece. As they say, practice makes perfect!!
What a genius he is writing this song!
I never stop viewing this dude's vids. Always precise
👍🇦🇺
Nice job. Actually shows me how to play the lead clearly.
That hybrid picking man!
This is just awesome and such a great inspiration for me
I love the sound of the guitar in this music! This makes me remember of many good memories! Thank you, man! 🇧🇷
Sabe me dizer onde consigo a tab?
@@braziliandentist Botão grande fica no lado esquerdo do teclado tem uma seta desenhada nele
Zuera mano foi mal kksksksksksksksksks
So I got an ad of someone playing sultans of swing on a guitar before watching a video of someone playing sultans of swing on a guitar.

“MIND YOU HES STRICTLY RHYTHM, HE DOES WANT TO MAKE IT CRY AND SCREAM”
