That's what my grandmother said in 1964 when we watched the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show. ( She assumed that they were wearing wigs!) It happens with every generation. I swore I would never cop this attitude when I got "old". I'm now 68 and have been a musician since I was a pre teen. Do I like all of the contemporary music being made? No, but I respect your right to play and listen to whatever you deem to be your favorite genre of music.
I agree with you Jody. Another "old fart" here. 70 years and still playing. These kids are good and nice clear music! No reason for loud here. In fact.. no reason for loud anywhere lol.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Grace and I truly appreciate it! Mr. Knopfler is without a doubt my all around favorite guitarist singer/songwriter. I hope one day to meet him...possibly even jam on a tune! Again, thanks.
My name is Manuel and I am a professional guitarist, ,I've played with a ton of Great Musicians, , I just Enjoyed listening to Both of You,,keep up the good work. Do Not pay attention to any of these jealous people that make negative comments,,You Both are Awesome,,,,
Don't pay attention to what guys I've scrolled about 100 comments and they all were simply positive Are you actually saying don't pay attention to positive remarks. Go back to flipping hamburgers
Great! It's a pleasure to listen to you. I'm also a classical guitarist and guitar teacher. You have a great charisma and your interaction is perfect. Thanks!
These two ladies tore that song to shreds, holy cow! Awesome, amazing and beautiful!!! Thank you!!!! Haters take a hike!! Music truly makes the world go round!
Chelsea and Grace: As someone from London Town, Let me say that this is the finest cover of this song I have ever heard - by far. Fine blend of homage and creativity, you made it your own. Keep doing your thing, tremendous.
1.4k dislikes? come on you people explain yourselves, is it just that you haven't got the talent to do it so you hate anyone who can? Great job girls, keep it up!
To those who dislikes.. they are an alien who has just landed from the planet of the apes!!!greetings from Malaysia to you girls...love your version of this hit song..
If TH-cam made it public who these dislikers are, I bet the dislikes will disappear. Its so easy to press a button out of some negative emotion.. Truly baffles me as to who these individuals are..
It’s so good it’s actually making me laugh... I can’t believe how good this is... the inflection in their playing isn’t robotic.. and the younger sister, where the hell did she get the maturity in her playing.. technique is one thing, this goes way beyond. Hard to comprehend.
As an ordinary makeshift one man guitarist, this is just awesome. excellent rendition and a awesome tribute to Mark himself. Blessings from South Africa
Who can listen to Dire Straits and NOT be transported to a certain time or season of your life?? Excellent job girls, thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us!!
I just came across this tonight. I’m 73 and it sure makes me wish I had kept up my music lessons! My mother told me I’d be sorry. You girls are wonderful and you made my day. Keep it up.
my mother said id be wasting my time just like my father had,,that was 1975 age11 when i started a beatles band with twisted hands that didant open ,,,,not only did i open my left hand,played 100+ gigs supported the rocky horror uk tour 1984,,,but i taurt 2 that became national champions and two that became music teachers,,and with my daughter and her daughter,thats 4 generations playing guitar and song writing,,,if thats wasting time at least it sounds nice
Never too late. You only need 4 chords, start tomorrow, get down to your music store, pick up a cheap dreadnaught and hit it. You’ll be so happy you did. Do it man. I’m 72 play like a learner but love every minute.
Not just the absolute best version of this that I have ever heard, but also the best ever guitar duet and some of the best ever soloing. Just astonishing.
I know grown men that have been in paying gig working bands for close to 30 years now that tell me point blank they can't play this song right...these 2 absolutely own it and people dislike it? Like wha?
You girls killed it. Keeping a rhythm and pace that absolutely nailed it...with the utmost skill. Keep rocking ladies!!! Awesome, and I mean awesome, job!
You may not hear me, but I am applauding loudly! Awesome. Lovely sound from two guitars, and the final twiddley solo was nailed to perfection. Brilliant.
I NEVER comment on videos but this is a must. If there was a scale, this is what would be used to set the bar. No matter the age, sex, race or music preference, that is top notch talent. Very hard song. Mark would, no doubt, be impressed. Both young ladies are an inspiration to anyone that sees this.
Some people just cant believe these girls could be that good(look at the No of thumbs down)...Chelsea and Grace you are fabulous and I like the connect you both have moving in and out of lead and rythm. God bless!
I would love to hear Marks reaction to this cover, he has admittted on more than one occasion, that he doesn't like playing the song anymore and only does it every now and then. This is a fresh look on it, however! Thank you ladies, you put a big smile on my face. And believe me, I'm a critical listener, who has heard dozens of versions of this song and played the originals madly... ;)

Chicks with picks. That was mighty fine.
Wow. These two owned this song. Played effortlessly and beautifully.
I'm an old man and sometimes I wonder if anyone even hears the music anymore over the noise.
Then I found this video. Fantastic girls. Outstanding!

@Joe Bland You "like" rap. You are "crap"
I've been playing guitar for 53 years, ever since I was 13. WOW. That was really amazing and wonderful to listen to. Thank You.
That was absolutely beautiful..... Both of you so talented. I hope you are still playing together.
by a country mile the best cover rendition i have seen ...excellente ladies from a northerner(uk that is) who knows .
Thanks so much for the kind words! Grace and I truly appreciate it! Mr. Knopfler is without a doubt my all around favorite guitarist singer/songwriter. I hope one day to meet him...possibly even jam on a tune! Again, thanks.
+Chelsea Constable oi
CHELSEA YOU WOULD GIVE SLASH A RUN FOR THERE MONEY
Awesome job, girls! I love your original touch to it. What's the secret of of getting those smooth little solos during the whole jam?
Excelent! I love it

Dem gals can pick it out, faithfully....thank you, kindly, youg ladies...
Bravo ladies. Very very good. A big big thumbs up
I'm 74 and have been playing guitar since I was 11. I WISH I could play as well as this. Respect.
Outstanding & priceless. I have no doubt Mark would be impressed & humbled by your effort & execution. Keep on keeping on Ladies.
Sultans of Swing in perfection.
These two ladies tore that song to shreds, holy cow! Awesome, amazing and beautiful!!! Thank you!!!! Haters take a hike!! Music truly makes the world go round!
One word.WOW!!!!!!!
Chelsea and Grace: As someone from London Town, Let me say that this is the finest cover of this song I have ever heard - by far. Fine blend of homage and creativity, you made it your own. Keep doing your thing, tremendous.
You both are legends for sure. Was my dads favorite video on TH-cam. I had them play it at his funeral service.
I can listen to this a 1000 times and come back for 1001. Awesome.
Very nice cover of one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you for sharing.
I couldn’t sound that good in a million years.... you girls are fantastic, one of my favorite songs. Video outstanding thank you 😊
Wonderful!
Fabulous really talented young ladies. Good luck for the future
The Queens of Swing
Caik Cunha more like sultanas of swing
Fantastic , Mark Knopfler himself would smile and applaud your rendition of Sultan of swing well done girl's , keep it up, Great talent love you both
Perfect match. Bravo Ladies!
1.4k dislikes? come on you people explain yourselves, is it just that you haven't got the talent to do it so you hate anyone who can? Great job girls, keep it up!
To those who dislikes.. they are an alien who has just landed from the planet of the apes!!!greetings from Malaysia to you girls...love your version of this hit song..
Phil B Jealously?!
That was Mark Knopfler angry that these lovely humans made it look easy... Who knew he had so many dummy accounts?
If TH-cam made it public who these dislikers are, I bet the dislikes will disappear. Its so easy to press a button out of some negative emotion..
Truly baffles me as to who these individuals are..
It is usually jealousy!
Seriously. That many thumbs down. Come on people. Just handle the greatness and get over yourself. Great job
what's up with ANY thumbs down for this?!
Goodness what is wrong with people? This was fun & Truly Amazing!
My guess is that the thumbs down are frustrated guitar players who don't have half of these ladies talent. Sheer jealously.
Jealous I guess
Agreed. It's ridiculous. I bet them have a great problem of self-steem and them think can do it better, but that can't be done better!
It’s so good it’s actually making me laugh... I can’t believe how good this is... the inflection in their playing isn’t robotic.. and the younger sister, where the hell did she get the maturity in her playing.. technique is one thing, this goes way beyond. Hard to comprehend.
What a brilliant duet!!
The talents on the TH-cam channel never cease to amaze me. Mark would be proud of these girls. Well rendered indeed.
I liked how they switched from rhythm and lead with each other throughout the song. :)
Lovely Harmonic playing, you should be proud of how well you play together a Beautiful session
Fantastic talent on both ladies!! I've been playing guitar for 65 years and I wouldn't qualify to be a "pic caddy" for either lady.
OUTSTANDING GIRLS !!!!! Now THAT is what we call TALENT.
Those young ladies rock and so do those Taylor guitars
Wow, you ladies are not the Sultans of Swing, but the Queens of Swing! What an amazing rendition, you made Knopfler proud!!
I agree
The Sultanas of Swing.
Happy Haze - exactly what I thought the moment I read ARIF’s post
WOW best cover ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
언니와 동생 두 자매의 연주가 훌륭합니다. 멋져요^^
대한민국에서 당신을 응원합니다.
Playing the guitar is really good. I applaud you. ________ ^^
I never get tired of watching these girls play, they are absolutely fantastic!!
Beautiful guitars, beautiful music, and beautiful girls!
As an ordinary makeshift one man guitarist, this is just awesome. excellent rendition and a awesome tribute to Mark himself. Blessings from South Africa
Who can listen to Dire Straits and NOT be transported to a certain time or season of your life?? Excellent job girls, thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us!!
If these two girls walked past you in a shopping mall you would never know how truly awesome they both are on the Guitar...
II
You never know what anyone is like, walking past them.
M.T.G What a dumb comment.🤪
That's probably true of Mark Knopfler too.
jam 68 It’s pretty true though. They don’t look like rockstars. You can decide if that’s a good a or bad thing in this context.
Wow! You two ladies are impressive. I just happened upon one of your videos and you girls are amazing. Very nice indeed.👍👍🇨🇦
absolutely owned that song, best version yet
Rock on girls! Totally awesome.
I just came across this tonight. I’m 73 and it sure makes me wish I had kept up my music lessons! My mother told me I’d be sorry. You girls are wonderful and you made my day. Keep it up.
David Dickmeyer never too old!
get a guitar and start now
David, I'm 52 and I started 3 years ago. Get a guitar and start right now! Never is too late. You can do your own day every day ;-)

Wow just wow. I agree with all the other sensible people here - the thumbs down people are notable by the absence of their own efforts. Amazing.
This is music that thrills the heart. Thank you for an excellent rendition.
outstanding!
Not just the absolute best version of this that I have ever heard, but also the best ever guitar duet and some of the best ever soloing. Just astonishing.
Hope Mark has seen this - he'd be honoured. Brilliant playing from both.
I know grown men that have been in paying gig working bands for close to 30 years now that tell me point blank they can't play this song right...these 2 absolutely own it and people dislike it? Like wha?
This should not any DISLIKES,,,,, this song has been done sooooo many ways and every single rendition is awesome,,, PERIOD
You girls killed it. Keeping a rhythm and pace that absolutely nailed it...with the utmost skill. Keep rocking ladies!!! Awesome, and I mean awesome, job!
If I could like multiple times I would have. This is the third time I come back to watch you two girls rock. Peace and love!
Absolutely great version of great song 😊
This is one of the best cover!
One of the best cover I have ever seen. Amazing solos!
Loved it! I am sure Mr. Mark Knopfler would too! Awesome!
Very nice ladies! One of my favorite traveling songs! Good job👍
Awesome, just Awesome young ladies, I'm speechless !!!
at 1:59 blew me away the tone of that guitar and very smooth playing for both of you
Wow! Friggin awesome. Hearing the guitars isolated like that really makes you hear the Spanish guitar influence. Good job.
Wow girls..excellent.. Congratulations.. Super super super 😘😘
That's how you demo guitars!!! Awesome stuff!
In perfect tune w/one another. Sounds like one instrument. Beautiful.
Awesome lil young ladies. wish my guitar could do half that.
gonzo gary dont blame your guitar bro 😂😂
Best cover version ever.
You’ve done this song justice, which is very difficult to do. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant. You know all the chords. Love the guitar choices.
"You know all the chords but you want to make it cry or scream"
One of the best songs of all time!
excellent job on this beautifully melodic version of Sultans of Swing! Great work, Chelsea and Grace!
Fantastic!. Thank you young ladies
One of the best pieces of live music.. i ve ever heard...tremendously played..
Hats of to both the lovely women
both of you are tremendous, I was just sitting here open mouth the whole performance, great job!
Amazing and completly AWESOME !!!
You may not hear me, but I am applauding loudly! Awesome. Lovely sound from two guitars, and the final twiddley solo was nailed to perfection. Brilliant.
Very nice and original arrangement!!!
ladies, you deserve a standing ovation! !! Excellent.
Keep it up girls , what a great tribute to Mark Knopfler and your talents. Truely inspiring.
Amazing!!! Great version!!!
Wow, amazing. You ladies are super talented.
Beautiful interpretation and performance. It's awesome how you guitarists switch from lead to rhythm flawlessly. Thank you.
I have 2 tin ears, but even I heard it the way you describe: flawless transitions back and forth. Mark was done justice!
Ladies, that was amazing!!!!
Stand aside gentlemen, These young teenagers are abosolutely a true talent to recon with! CONGRATS Ladies!
That was a real treat! Great rendition of one of my favorite songs. Thank You. - Dave
Beautiful! Beautiful guitars, beautiful sound and two beautiful human beings! Thanks for that!
Mark would be proud
That was sooooo enjoyable to listen too. You guys rocked it❤
I NEVER comment on videos but this is a must. If there was a scale, this is what would be used to set the bar. No matter the age, sex, race or music preference, that is top notch talent. Very hard song. Mark would, no doubt, be impressed. Both young ladies are an inspiration to anyone that sees this.
Absolutely amazing !!!! You can actually taste the music by this performance!!!!
Bravo magnifique, super bien jouer.

Wow, You are both great player. Amazing
Amazing guitar playing ladies. Look forward to seeing more from y'all.
Very well done girls!
Little grin at 4:35. She knows she nailed it. Outstanding.
I have listened to this at least 50 times I wish I could give a like for each one,
I would love to hear Marks reaction to this cover, he has admittted on more than one occasion, that he doesn't like playing the song anymore and only does it every now and then. This is a fresh look on it, however! Thank you ladies, you put a big smile on my face. And believe me, I'm a critical listener, who has heard dozens of versions of this song and played the originals madly... ;)
I was touched by this playing. Thank you for putting it up on you tube. This song moved me so much and this version brought the same joy.
THE BEST! CONGRATULATIONS.
