Like everything note in this version is given it's own room to breathe in the most beautiful way... That bend she did at the beginning around :20 in, it just has such a profound effect on your ear... And the phrasing and how long she held it... And this whole version is FULL of those kinds of moments of musicality, restraint, and articulation. It might even articulate many of the notes better than the original version did (And this is coming from a HUGE Knopfler fan). This is flawless.

      The perfectionist in me died a little after watching this and noticing the 5m views. We are 'jerks' if we call this for what is, but when you post mediocre music or performances, it's harder to find the people who take more time to practice so they can nail a performance before posting it. This is the generation that looks for pats on the back when only half way there. It was ok. Better than I can do, but not good for a TH-cam post. That's still at playing for family and friends level. I love that song and of course want people to do it justice. It's not about hating, it's about loving the music so much, you want other people to share in it and maybe share in the respect for it too.

      @@ericryckman1559 So... you thought Gabriella gave a mediocre performance? If I may ask, what did you think was not done very well? I'm asking not because I think you're out of line or a jerk, but rather because I honestly want your opinion.
      Personally, I think it has so many views because this performance is very good for different reasons than performance perfection. I rather like the way she arranged it so the melody is interwoven with the rhythm, which she has to play together on the same guitar. Also, the arrangement is very lovely and pleasing, showing creativity in a way that departs from the original as a cover while still obviously being respectful towards the original (not easy to do). Finally, she switches up the tempo at times to provide variety and emphasis. I think she shows musicality; it seems she is aware that she's giving a performance and wants to entertain us, not simply get a pat on the back for posting something.

      Well, if you play along with her you notice her tempo is off in some parts. Slower because she has not practiced it as much as the returning parts of the song. Doesn't matter though... I prefer a bit of a tempo mess over a strict tempo. I play this piece with a capo on 5th and when you pan them a bit left/right it makes for a really enjoyable guitar duet due to the different voicing. Must have played it 6 or 7 times through in a row.
      @Kei M: By the way, it is actually harder to play this slow. If you go fast, you can omit a lot of nuances...when you go slower every detail counts and stands out.

    The mic sound and the way you hit the chords and leads and make it sound so peaceful YET... it's such a great groove of a song it's amazing.
    Gabriella came up on a suggested video feed being that I am learning how to play different songs as a novice guitar player and a drummer, but my strength is in singing. I was floored at Gabriella playing this song!
    Sad day today after Eddie Van Halen's passing yesterday October 6th. I must say listening to this whole song took me out of a somber mood. Eddie's influences on us all shine on. Great work Gabriella!!! I wish you could play this for Mark Knopfler. I believe he would be flattered.

    Such timing, precision, and technical mastery of the guitar's fretboard are rare.

Wow, Mark Knoffler's classic guitar anthem never sounded so good.
