Best sultans cover I ever heard👌
Love it
Aujourd’hui j ai 20 ans qd je vous écoute !!
Merci et vive la guitare et Mk et vous l interprète !
😊🎸🎸🎸
Mr Yoni sir this is one fine cover. May be the best single person cover of the song I have ever heard💯
Damn Yoni man.. You make it look just normal..
He definitely knows all the chords.
Like guitar George?
He literally used 5 chords here though 😂
@Paul Angel I think it just becomes naturel with feel of the neck. but yeah its pretty hard
Definitly.
@Paul Angel on the top of the neck have dots too.
This is unbelievable. To hold the melody line, beat, chords, every riff, and sing.....holy shit. Amazing
Kyle Shea with enough practice anything is possible
As a mediocre guitar player myself I can tell you that he is not thinking about the strings at all. His hands already know where to go. He’s played this 1,000 times for sure. Muscle memory. For me this would be incredibly difficult. I would have to spend a year playing it over and over and still might not get this good. He probably thinks this is easy.
@@yepimfresh Well, that's simply not so. Some people can never do this.
Right!!!!? This guy is the real deal.
@@bschultz44 Thats why i said with enough practice. And Kenny phillips, Anyone can do this, with the time and effort this is very doable
I hope people really realize the full difficulty of this cover. The lead guitar of this song is enough to keep one busy. But this outstanding dude played the rhythm, the beat, all the riffs, solos and sang the freaking song at the same time. That's unbelievable really...
You speak to me from the soul. I think, only musicians can really tell. He is a real master
Thank you! Came here to say this. And without edits! And this is a long-ass song with lots of lyrics, too. I don’t know how many takes this tool, but I’m just blown away!
Yeah he's secretly one of the best on TH-cam. He makes it look so easy, but when you try one of his lessons 🤯 His right hand technique in particular is just next level.
I so understand what you are saying! I have been playing, writing and singing and performing for 30+ years, and ANYONE who does not understand what a skill this is, is certainly not on the right planet!!! :)
Still seemed so effortless!
Like WTF..
Some people don't know how unbelievably difficult this is. You are watching thousands of hours and years of hard work culminated in this cover right here. This is insanely hard to do and only the absolute best guitarists can achieve this level of mastery. Big ups my man, your countless hours of practice are recognized!
th-cam.com/video/RSdeHjTpVxw/w-d-xo.html
This guy has 4 brains
One for the bassline
One for the drum
One for the guitar
One for the lyrics
Amazing cover !!
Lead guitar and rhythm guitar together so that is an extra one
When I first heard it I genuinely thought there was a backing track playing as well
Totally amazed..great job.dude.loved it.made my day.
Awesome!
Muy buena observación!!
Technically perfect. Seemingly effortless. Emotionally uplifting. A true master of his craft.
Yes!! You said it!! Yoni is an exceptional talent. :D
I am very pleased to have discovered Yoni's performance of SOS, breathtaking. This song is a song i have never tired of, ever, i used to play it everyday in the car for months. It is a very modest, understated feel to it but technically exceptional, i think Yoni loves the song, i would guess he picked his guitar up 1 day for a quick 5 minute 'thing' and got into SOS and probably happily plays away the whole day, especially when he had the basic structure. Alot, if not everyone else has 'looper' but i really wanted to riff and lead at the same time and this version has given me some hope. Thanks for the tutorial Yoni i will persevere.
72earthwood couldn’t have said it better
He is the definition of a flawless guitarist. Easily the best cover artist on youtube
@Ralph Reilly dude be my guest and show us
enlighten us
check out nube negra gipsy flamenco guitarist
Sungha Jung is the best guitarist in the world FYI - BEST covers on the planet
Josh turner's version. Go check it out.
@@rickylafleur6641 Well he's not the best but he's probably the best known cover guitarist on youtube.
I have played guitar for 29 years (semi-professionally, mainly as a hobbyist) and this is one song I have never included in my repertoire, as it is just so difficult to get right singing and playing. Absolutely amazing. You are an brilliant player.
Wow this really inspired me to sell my guitar!!
👍😂
😁
Carlton Banks burn it !!!!!
It's not that hard....dont give up
Carlton Banks lol!
his right hand has it's own freaking brain.
Yeah so has mine😁😅😅
@@vmax1968 haah dont think people get this comment
@@fatkitty4207 🤫🤫😉😁
He always does the Same pattern except when playing arpeggios
He is Muzan from Kimetsu no Yaba hehehe
People who have never tried playing the guitar don’t understand how hard this is and the time and effort put into practicing.
I’ve been coming back to this video for years. Absolutely tremendous job.
Me too 😂
That wasn’t just good. That was perfect. I dare say I saw just the best cover ever of the Sultans
Yeah he is great but pls listen to james marçal
really? check Naudo Rodrigues cover
Best cover of anything I've heard yet
@@rodolfomanuel797 is one of a billion
Josh turners version a bit better in my opinion
Do you want to play guitar, drums or bass?
Yoni: Yes.
Me: Yesn't
While singing of course.
And rhythm guitar+ lead guitar (solo)
Too
Would you like taking up painting tutorials?😂
What in the hell... Never seen such skills on acoustic guitar, or ANY guitar for that matter. And here in this country! WOW!
This is not an easy song to play, and this man crushed it!
This man single-handedly inspired me to stop trying to play guitar.
Legit
Me too...
Kajakajakajkajakajajajaj
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You can get there with practice.
The best one-man acoustic version of that song I've ever heard, yet. Wow 😊
Really? Mark Knopfler does it quite well
Check out Igor’s version, you’d be surprised.
Best ive heard, level 100
@@mrmilesrobinson7909 Well, color you obvious. :) I think the point was not that.
Vittorio Bachelet he said acoustic
This may be the best cover I've ever seen. I find Knopfler's voice particularly hard to copy, so doing all that along with the rhythm etc is just amazing. And the solo was beautiful.
Bravo!
Wish I could listen to this for the first time again and again.
Rhythm and Lead guitar parts played together + the Solo. Just WOW!
arrangment.. xD but yeah, impressive
And bass line
Yes!! This really is the best acoustic cover of Sultans of Swing
Omg! Too much talent here, this page is going to blow
Good,.... But I prefer Josh Turner's cover
Best cover of anything I have ever heard. Just learned this in Dm. Can't wait to try it your way. The interpretation was brilliant and flawless. You're a genius.
David Edward Except Josh Turner's not acoustic. This one's unique.
Boa!
I’ve watched this video so many times since it was posted and it never fails to blow my mind. Insane talent
Me too, man. Me too.
Отличный кавер, спасибо! И не важно с какой ты страны, у музыки нет преград! Музыканты всех стран объединяйтесь и делитесь опытом и своей музыкой!!!
God level of guitar playing, divorced dad level of apartment cleanliness
Came here for this comment. Wasn't disappointed.
@@hailtothegloryofrome I was waiting for this reply to my original comment. mission accomplished
relax, nerd. the thrust of the comment was on the messy apartment
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Says the guy who acts like an emotional lesbian after being owned LMAO.
i think this guy has his priorities just right ;P
the perfection in the guitar playing is on a level I've never heard before, it's completely flawless from start to finish I just don't understand how this is possible in one take
Yes, quite an extraordinary music man!
I can play the basic chords for this song but all the soloing on acoustic is beyond my level.Brilliant playing by this guy. Real skill.
5% of people who pick up a guitar are as gifted as this guy. I believe in the 5% rule for 95% of the things in the world lol. Painters, mathematicians, skateboarders. Whatever it is. 5% are truly gifted.
The God has spoken
Rubbish practice ! !
Best cover of any song ever written. Such an amazing talent. Thank you for this.
Your capacity of keeping the rhythm and doing the solo parts is incredible. It's a style that reminds me of Tommy Emmanuel
Holy shit I quit
*EDIT* at 3:41 he cracks a smile because not even he can believe he’s playing the most perfect guitar track ever recorded in one take. Seriously he achieved some super saiyan stuff here
That is the smile of someone who is so in the zone that they are able to take a step back and have enough mental capacity still left to have an out of body experience and watch themselves achieve something special. Been there once in my life (not music related) and would love to make it back there at some point again.
I know! This guy is from MARS!
@@Tiger1016. i know how it feels bro
@@royhsieh4307 yeah me too, that mostly happens to me while driving (sim racing) cause I can say I'm a dam good driver and can do it subconsciously, i only wish the same applied to my playing and singing. Well I'm 25, still got time, this guy is a massive inspiration.
Did he seriously keep the rhythm going during the guitar solo?
Amp was thinking the same ..! 😂 well impressed ..!
He did. Pretty darn good, isn't he?
Curtis Densmore yes and he laughs when he plays that solo. This really goes too far.
Yeah. Beast mode engaged
Awesome style. Ease of playing reminds me of Igor Presnyakov. Just crazy
Just listened again after a while. Still the best acoustic version I've ever heard. Thanks again, Yoni.
Extraordinary way of playing the guitar, carrying the harpegios, without losing the rhythm and its accompaniment, as well as being sung very well, taking into account that the song has a high degree of difficulty.
This guy legit has a metronome in his head
maybe in his leg
That too
its the leg. you cant play guitar if your body somehow counts the metronome .
I know right even if its basic do re mi its just rythm
you can see his leg tapping the floor and feel the beat of the song.
That was possibly THE best cover of Sultans of Swing that I have ever seen. Well done mate.
Yes this guy as incredible style on his finger. However, I think that I've watched every single cover of this tune, and I personally think this guy has done the best over there th-cam.com/video/dr96_Y6b0VI/w-d-xo.html

All those details... make all points of the song. You see the essence through. Amazing
No, no sir... YOU are the sultan of swing! Congratulations! Wonderful! Bravissimo!!!
bravissimo xD
proprio bravo ..
Except someone else's brilliance composed this...but excellent rendition. 🤟
... The difference between people who know how to play guitar and musicians. Awesome job bro.
Hey brother, I've been playing 50 yrs. and could sit down all day and listen to you. You are most definitely gifted, but, I'm fully aware of the time , dedication, and sacrifice it took.
Players like you show the rest of us what is possible on this wonderful instrument.
Thank you. I only recently discovered you and look for to learning your story and following your future.
I can't stop watching THIS, THIS IS AWSOME
You have thought about every single riff in this song, and put it along side the rhythm, your attention to detail is sublime. My god that is superb 👏👏
Pure greatness!!!
I need more RAM in my brain for doing this at same times.
Slap in 2 16 gig sticks and you’re good to go.
Just download more ram.

I've seen so many versions of this song. I'm amazed at how many different ways there are to play this song that are really good. This was probably my favorite though.
This is absolutely incredible. I'm sort of lost for words!
Great to see you commenting here!! Proof of your broad music genre interest and really good taste in music!!! It's wonderful to see talents acknowledging talents! :-D
this is the most perfect cover of this song you will find
1. Some only do the guitar covers
2. Some only sing without guitar lead parts.
3. Some do both but uses a pick.
And then there is Yoni Schlesinger.
Kripesh Lama that harry potter guy is better than this but also very different style of playing
he used magic there
and yoni didnt had to cut the video for solo
he did in one take
check out Igor Presnyakov's version too. very different from this but equally great
Josh Turner's pretty damn good as well
I dont ever comment, im only half way through this song for the first time and I have to say this is the best cover of any song I've ever heard! Big props!!
Just bought a guitar after seeing this vid. Now i'll spend the next 10 years trying to play this song. Thanks Yoni
I hope it was an electric 😂
I wish i never would've seen this video.
I now realize how much i don't know how to play a guitar. 😔
Epic skills there.
I'm feeling exactly the same , 😫
Completely emasculated😢😭
Sadly agree :(
Never give up
He has a 1 hour guitar tutorial on how to play this, I've been practicing it for 2 months and I am making good progress. You just need to practice
How many souls did you give to the devil to be that good?
None
His own plus many virgins were sacrificed.
Just his KIA
It's all about the sacrificing
Quentin Gouiller that’s called Practice, the only ones who sell their souls are the billionaire superstars and elite wealthy ; Katy Perry, Bob Dylan check out you tube
Dude, you're an incredible guitar player. This song is hard enough to play as it is but you do all parts on your own. Incredible.
This fella has ridiculous skill… jeez
You can tell he's played this song until his fingers actually bled lol, perfection and love the time keeping.
To anyone learning thinking they'll never be able to play like that it's all about practice practice and more practice, you keep at it it becomes second nature and you forget how bloody hard it was learning it lol.
Once on a VERY rare while am I left speechless by a musician.
Absolutely tremendously talented performance, sir.
Back here 4 years later to listen again! 👏🏽
It’s so awesome to see this video over 4m views now. When I first watched it it was around 50k and I’ve been coming back ever since. This guy is a TH-cam all-star.
I still can wrap my head around how you incorporated the solo into this
and kept the rythem going
Yeah, I wasnt expecting that either! My jaw fell on the floor and my feet started tapping immediately! It like the dude didn't miss a lick... sped up a bit at times, but who cares when you re feelin' it right! Fucking amazing!
ha ha watched it 6 times while im thumbin up all the comments. unreal scenes this like !!!
Thank you!
It was the best 5 minutes spent on youtube this year.
I'ts been at least half an hour i've spent here
Almost 6
Agreed
I hope this guy gives up his day job and starts busking, and making us You Tubers happy, envious and jealous......
Ridiculously good
Best acoustic cover of Sultans of Swing
U ddnt saw mclovin Play Sultan of Swing? Great too!
I agree
@@valentinaguedes6441 thank you
That one is actually very good, but have you ever seen William Lee's cover?
Verry good wunderfool
Dire Strait band members: are we a joke to you ?
Exactly 👍👍one man band
Ele ri, ele se diverte, isso é insano, isso está perfeito, não teria como ficar melhor que isso , que cover sensacional, o melhor que já ouvi
Absolutely mind blowing, I thought i could play guitar, I was wrong!
Possibly the best cover I’ve ever heard.
Whilst I am picking my jaw up from the floor, I wondered how this man learned this? He obviously doesn't spend much time on housework, so that must be his secret. Henceforth I shall no longer do laundry, dishes or sweep! Bravo yes Bravo my honored sir! That was simply (but not simple) spectacular! I have played for almost 38 years and I don't suck but after watching this... well I've decided to use my guitars for firewood. However I still have vowed to be a slob from now on... I bow my head in admiration to you Sir!
Tnx so much guys for your lovely comments! It made me really happy :-)
I got many requests for tabs and tutorial. I'm defentley gonna do this soon. There's already an old tutorial for the right hand. You welcome to try it:
th-cam.com/video/H8BY8LflKPY/w-d-xo.html
But before all this. let me tell you the story of this arrangement . Maybe things will get clearer after, and help you play that song this way:
I'm playing Sultans for many years. Like everyone I started with the electric guitar, learning all the riffs and of course- the solo.
But most of all I felt the energy of this song! There's something about the rhythm that pushes you forward all the time, and as far as I know it's unique to this song, there's no other song with that beat.
So, with that outcome, I started working on my right hand techniqe, cause I think everything
comes from the tight hand. And I found this techniqe which keeps that "pushing forward" feeling. You can see that in the tutorial above.
After I cought the idea, I started thinking how I'm gonna put all the riffs inside, so I was looking for an easyer way to do the chords so I can concetrate on the impotant things without hard positins. Capo 5 gave me the answer for that.
So, now i have my right hand working automaticly (and while knoking on strings I can still make a note, and it's really important in fingerstyle and in this song praticulaty), and I have my nice
capo 5, so I just took all the riffs I already know, and try to get them inside this patern. During the song most of the time, the riffs will take place while I play E chord (which is the A chord originaly, but on capo 5, it becomes an E) so the sixth strings is open, and no problem , just doing the riffs
with no further solutions to find like create more fingers on my hand ;)
Nevertheless, The solos were another story.. there I needed to pull other rabbits from my hat,
but we'll get to this in the tutorial one day.
So, thats about it for now. Again- tnx for the comments, I'm really glad you liked it, and Im sure that with some practice you can also do this!
If you have any questions about anything, just ask me here. Ill be happy to answer everything.
Have a great weekend everyone :-)
Yoni
Incredible, the capo is a brilliant idea but man you keep the swing going all the way, you make it flow effortlessly. So groovy! I'm a long fan of Dire Strait and I think this is the best cover I have heard. All the best.
Yoni Schlesinger youre so good! Good vocals and playing! Im a fan of you from Philippines
Wow. You are awesome playing it
I'm glad I got to see someone with this much passion today. Please do keep going.
Are you Israeli?
Incredible. Other level fingerstyle.
Sooo beautifully natural. Most natural performance I've ever heard / seen of this... Awesome!!! 🎸
the amount of happiness on his face when he's playing guitar just warms my heart
A right hand Mark Knopfler himself would admire. Incredible.
Didn't Dire Straits do a cover of this?? Man - this is brilliant!
You understand guitar so perfectly.
Not only is the technique fantastic, but this cover shows a remarkable understanding for the guitar and music, as well as for what makes sultans of swing special in the first place. You rarely see this kind of musicality from TH-cam covers. Absolutely amazing, good job, man.
Well said. Absolutely spot on. The way he plays those fills and eases into the chords shows his understanding of notes and chords. Beautiful stuff.
completely agree, have you checked out Josh Turner (guitar, not the country guy) ?
Sam Jones Of course. He also has an excellent interpretation of the song. His is more similar to the original, and less interesting for it in my opinion.
sensational performance of the best song ever!
MAN!! That was excellent and that’s an understatement.
Mark Knopfler would be very impressed to see this.
I've played and sang for 25 years.
I didnt thought that it was possible to play like that.
Incredible
Джони,я давний поклонник твоего таланта...чувствую,что сейчас на поверхности многодневные битвы за качественное и своеобразное исполнение вещей знаменитых музыкантов...спасибо тебе,спасибо Богу,что есть такие люди,как ты.Восхищён! Ты классный мужик!
Seemingly effortless. Probably the best cover of one of the best songs ever played!! You sir are a true artist!!!
I think I will need 7 lives to get to this level of guitar mastery. Even then, I am not sure I would be this good.
You should check out Miquel Montalban do this song on TH-cam.OOOMMMMMGGGGGOODNESS! I can't quit listening to it really loud!
Rubbish practice !!
3:50
that makes me feel so good when you 'rise' and smile
He didn't sell his soul for nothing. It's amazing, the main guitar lid on its own takes mighty effort to play, and this dude nailed the whole band part like if it was nothing! You're so underrated.
And, yeah, that ending part was something.
3:23 shows his mastery.
so does 5:01 lol jk
ah yes, the disclocated pinkie move I have yet to master this technique
@@loudamir7390 haha
I almost died when he started to play the solo
Good voice and excellent guitar playing. But when he played the solo, I started to smile and almost laughed out loud. What can you say, else than Bravo!
absolutely unreal bow good he covers this!
I actually did die then, but then I came back to life just so I could hear the whole solo. True story.
Please don't die, Daniel.
Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?
Unbelievable sophisticated simplicity... respects
I've just tried playing this. Capo on 5. And it's not easy. I can do nothing like this. Amazing. Thanks.
This is one of the most authentic and heart felt acoustic cover I've heard of this song so far. I've heard lots.
Just imagine being able to play like this...
The amount of practice put into this is crazy
Its not that hard. Listen to gareth Evans and his tutorials on fingerstyle. He has wide range of tutorials. If you pick a few of those and put some time into them you will be able to play like this. It’s fairly easy song to play. It’s those plucks and mute notes which are tricky
MrGuitarJaMx Oh yes its easy to copy someone’s style of playing but this dude made this whole damn thing by himself which do mean that the guy is goddamn pro in every aspect of guitar.
Steven Price can’t you see?
Steven Price yes he did, but he got the rhythm and the lead part all at the same time and its pretty perfect.
One of my favorite songs and he did it well, Amazing
One of the best videos I've seen of someone playing lead and rythmn at the same time
I am a guitar player who has just slipped into a potentially unrecoverable depression
Gambling Sucks LoL! Right!?!?!
Gambling Sucks lol
Keep going. You can only improve if you have people to look up to
Write a song about it
Count me in too
Evidence that humans are amazing...
I dont think the master (Mark Knofler) himself could have done it better on an acustic. Amazing. 😊👍
Great!!!!.... The guy with 1000 voices!!!
He's righ upt there with the very best guitar pickers of our time. Smooth flawless changes. Powerful the lead part he plays in this song is genius. in my opinion of course
Mine too
Well, it's easy when you can play all the parts for all the instruments and sing at the same time
:DD
This is unbelievable.
How he performs the solo and rhythm and percussion AND sings is beyond me. Otherworldly
That was beautiful. I'm seventy and took up the guitar a few years ago and it's been enjoyable and challenging. I find this inspirational even though I'll never play this well, if I live to be a hundred.
Well that's optimistic👍
@@KaladinAndSyl It's realistic, given my age and arthritic hands.
keep it going my man. it’s good for your arthritis
Mark would be honored I think by this.
Indeed he would I am sure; personally I actually PREFER this to the original, as it is free of all the complicated electric paraphernalia of a rock band. Now then, where's that new capo? :-))
100 %
I don't think even the great knoffler can do that. Jaw dropping.
