This is my rendition of the famous Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. It was an amazing experience to transcribe the whole band and perform this legendary song in a solo guitar. I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!

I have seen and heard Tommy Emmanuel and he is truly amazing. Joe Bonamassa is incredible. Trace Bundy can bring tears to my eyes and Luca Stricagnoli leaves me aghast. Over my lifetime I've listened to Chuck Berry, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and so so many others. I am 71 years old and can say without doubt or reservation whoever invented the guitar did so with the hope that Lucas Imbiriba would one day find it. He did, and I will be forever grateful he did it in my lifetime. Thank You Lucas!
Good post.
So you like him, then?
Comments like this are ridiculous, especially when if you had to measure, Emmanuel crushes all the younger guys like this guy and Dawes (who IMO is similar to this guy) So far. But why compare? Just enjoy the all around greatness.
Monte Montgomery's rendition is also pretty good
Really? I mean he’s good but I hear some mutes that shouldn’t be there and some timing issues I just don’t think you should compare him to that list. He’s good don’t get me wrong but all the fru fru and extra flex is unnecessary imho he’s no Billy strings. And don’t forget this dude is just playing all the songs those great men wrote huh? When he writes an epic masterpiece the likes of mark knopfler then I’ll be impressed. To compare him to Gilmour? Cmon man your fuckin balls are square. You might be too old to really realize what your saying. 😮
I'm 65 and have watched many many videos of the greatist guitarists in the world. This is the first time I have ever sat here all by myself and was clapping at the end. Unreal! Big props to you buddy!!! What energy!
Thanks, David!
If you practiced 25 hours a day ,eight days a week, five weeks per month for 100 years … still wouldn’t be able to play at this Godly level!! My respects sir Lucas
Just came over from the Mark Lewis video who showed a clip from this video as a pinnacle of guitar playing and after watching this video i can agree. Just masterful control of your instrument. Truly impressive.
Welcome, Andrew!🎸
Was thinking Mark got Dave Grohl in his video. 😁
How. Just how?
How is it possible to play like this?
How is he not more famous?
How does this ONLY have 1.3 mil views?
I’m literally in shock. Been playing 15 years, and listening to the greats, never heard or seen a person make a guitar sound like this before. Im actually in shock. And in awe. This is unreal
Thanks Kujo!🤟🏼❤
Few reasons. Talent is not rare. He didn’t specifically “write” it. He wrote this version. But we’re listening for mark Knopflers tune.
And luck getting famous and effort getting famous.
Look up Luca Stricagnoli, he had that same effect on me.
If you also looking for something similar amazing, i have Luca Stricagnoli for you or Ewan Dobson´s Level 5 ! And yes, his overall skillset is insanely high
@@DH-og5yr Paintings are not rare but they don't all deserve to be in the Louvre.
Absolutely the most epic acoustic rendition of this song I've ever heard and witnessed. Amazing!
Thanks!
Totally agree
100% agree with you.. Seen a 1000 of these over the years.. This is genuinely amazing, clever and just well done..!..
Never heard anyone rip it this way. Phenomenal!!!
Holyshit this is on another level
Made me cry. My dad loved Mark Knopfler's music. Was missing him something fierce this morning and looking for a lil connection? I guess. These arent bad tears. Bittersweet but not bad. The music is beautiful. Thank you.
I've spent the last few months slowly trying to learn just the lead guitar part to this song. This man is playing the lead guitar, bass and vocal parts all at once, all on guitar.
...and percussion!!
@@giorgiopalmas7934 He definitely throws in some other stuff too, but he's playing the entire bass, vocal and lead guitar parts continuously through the whole song.
Not that hard. You figure out each section, then repeat, until it sounds right.
You have to ingest Lucas oil and you'll be as good as he is from now on....
This man is amazing oh my god, I wanna be this good one day
He never disappoints!
1. Bass line.
2. Rhythm guitar.
3. Vocals.
4. And a good bit of percussion.
5. Oh yeah, and lead guitar, too.
~All from his two hands~
And my heart❤🤟🏼😅
@@lucasimbiriba
I stand corrected! I left out the most crucial ingredient!
@@lucasimbiriba the most important
@@lucasimbiriba
……and soul ……
He also taps his feet in polyrhythms... 🤔
Scary to think how many hours you’ve put into your craft. Incredible playing.
Yep!!!!!
Pfff...one afternoon with Simply Guitar🙃
@@mausb.3183 bro you are kidding, this takes for sure a lot of time , 24 human hours at minimum.
@@marcosmelgarejo844 To be this skilled, it's not even close to just 24 hours of practice. I'm sure.
Bravo!
The most expertly played piece of music I have ever heard.
.....and I am a 57 years old life-long music aficionado.
Almost beyond belief.
Am without further words
I've been playing guitar for 27 years, listening to music with a hungry mind for near 40, this is one of the best things I've ever seen and heard on the guitar. You have an unbridled passion for the instrument and a sense and instinct for what sounds great musically and not just showing how good you are. An absolute delight to listen to!
awsome! ✌
Well said!
It seems very obvious he went down to the crossroads and sold his soul! This is unearthly.... utterly magnificent!
You beat me to it.... totally agree !!!
Agreed
This version incorporates an extra layer that practically speaks the lyrics loud and clear. Absolute perfection.
Agreed! ❤
No thats the subtitles!! They really were there.. not in your head! But yes Absolute perfection
"incorporates an extra layer that practically speaks the lyrics loud and clear".... I love that hey, :) I find that to be really an odd part of music. 1 of the many strange parts of music.
Plays the vocal melody and it’s perfect 👌
It's not a new style..
But Lucas takes the style, and punts it into the Stratosphere !..
My goodness.. Been playing guitar for more than 40 years..
And this is just, Alien !..
Maybe time to sell my Guitars.. 😌😌
There's tons of videos on YT by guitarists so proud that they can play Knopfler's solos in this song. This dude does it in the middle of.a full chord melody without omitting a single note.
"This dude does it in the middle of.a full chord melody".... ya and we can learn from him... via this song... I love how that is...
True dedication . I'm impressed , I'm a slow learner . Then again to follow with I sing slow. . maybe it's just me with a more detailed sense of relaxing a crowd. Your do well don't get me wrong , just bring it down between the chords . Slow it down a notch it's not Rap music my friend . Of course it's only what you want it to be . At the same time . Imagine if it's your original and how you would want someone else to play . Talk to me .
Hell yeah im proud of it. Aint no one taking that away, that I can play this song note for note
@@toddbushie1657 where's your video playing this song. Put your version out there. We'll listen.
I can't play , do you?
I didn’t know that such clean precision was possible whilst also not being clinical or sterile. This has surgical accuracy and soul for days. Amazing work.
Finally I found a person playing that actually is playing with their soul and not just mind. So many on here that play with soulless action you don't see them feeling the music like they should. Great video!
This is some of the cleanest, most expressive playing I’ve ever seen. Unreal!
Thanks!
"Check out Guitar Lucas... He knows ALL THE CHORDS!" Man, this is sooooo good! I listen to it at least once a day for inspiration! Master level talent!
That's awesome, Ron! Thanks, bro
O
I’ve always favored the acoustic guitar over the electric I’m almost 60 now and never have I heard a more outrageously talented player than this guy! Man what an entertainer! He does everything the singing,bass,lead,rhythm,percussions,Spanish flavor! He’s truly a one man band! In a word AWESOME!!!
This cannot be a human being playing guitar. This is some god like alien.
More impressive than the virtuosic playing is, to me, the complete mastery of, and adherence to, the rhythm. So many talented guitarists let the beat fall away when they get into vamping, fills, and solos. That you didn't let that happen even once elevated this performance to a master class.
Totally agree. It’s the rhythm that houses the soul of the song and this has it. He left none of it out.
My feelings exactly. What rhythm!
This is absolutely ludicrous, I sat with my jaw on the floor for the full 7 minutes, I've played guitar/bass for over 15 years and this is some of the greatest guitar playing I've ever witnessed. It's not just the technical excellence, or the insane finger picking and hammer-ons/pull-offs, but the passion in which he plays and the unique approach he takes to artistic representation of the song. Bravo Lucas, a phenomenal cover.
same here, totally agree
same for me playing prof guitar for 25 years.This dude is out of this world.One of the best perfomances i ever seen
th-cam.com/video/S33tWZqXhnk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, brother🎸🤟🏻
There were times when I actually burst out laughing, I can't really explain why, except that the talent I was witnessing was so unbelievable - so, in your words, 'ludicrous', that laughter seemed the only possible response. I can't even imagine how human hands can do that.
That's a lot of sound and energy from an acoustic guitar. Didn't want it to stop.
Lucas, I got to tell you man. if that song didn’t already have a name I would call it the song of 1000 triads. You are amazing man.
What a blessing for me to find your channel. I’m 72 been playing the guitar for about 53 years and you make me look like a beginner. God bless you brother.❤
Been playing since 1993, and then I watch this and realize I haven't even scratched the surface of what guitar playing can be. This rendition is so dexterous and energetic. Mind blown.
Thanks; Jonathan!
@@lucasimbiriba Really great. The only one to held an "ALIEN PERFORMANCE", u r worthy to keep it up ^_^. Can u make such ALIEN-LIKE *Sweet Child O' MIne - GNR* Performance... Please bro... my humble request🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Dude. This guy practices 16 hours day. No shit.
@@roykesting8831 So he only sleeps and practices? Damn that's dedication.
@@biohead66 Tbf, not everyone sleeps 8 hours.
After 40 years of playing, this man inspires me to sell all of my guitars. 😳
LOL. I know the feeling, brother.
I will never understand people who say these things. Maybe guitar is not your thing? I see stuff like this and dig in. Owning a guitar for 40 years is not "playing" 40 years. There are 8,760 hours in a year. 350,400 hours in 40 years. Even if you practice an hour a day for 40 years...you still only have less than 2 years of experience. Practice more. Even 20 minutes a day you will start seeing huge progress. Not to be confused with noodling. I've owned a guitar for 30 years...I still suck...mostly because I never practice.
@@xzysyndrome It’s called sense of humor, get one and stop offering useless opinions nobody cares about.
@@remoevans7847 If I asked you why a chicken crossed the road....and told you "to get to the other side" would you laugh? Maybe you just need a sense of humor? Or maybe...it is a tired and dumb joke. I really like the part where you say "nobody cares" like you are the spokesperson for everybody. Go play your guitar...You do not care about my opinion...no need to bring everyone into it to try validating yourself. 40 years playing? I suspect you are old enough to behave better than a teenager.
Me too lol!
It just got better. Drum parts? Wow. I believe he has done this more than just a few times!!!
Every time I watch Tommy Emmanuel, his music makes me smile. I get the same silly smile on my face watching you create beautiful music from 6 simple strings of wound steel. Bravo Bravo sir!!!
I am a 60 year old musician and I appreciate how hard you’ve worked to get where you are! Absolutely amazing!
Absolutely insane how well he plays.. not many in the world get to this level.
was just thinking the same thing, hes so clean
By playing everyday. Not even playing...hardcore dedicated practice. Less Worship....more acknowledgement on why you are not this good.
@@xzysyndrome please shut up
@@xzysyndromeNah , not everyone some people are born with talent. 🤪
@pelin2222 What? Sorry, your lack of punctuation threw me off. I see what you are saying now.
I disagree. The difference between him and you is dedication to the art. That is not Talent. Worship more. It is sick that you are willing to accept that you are incapable because you were not born with it...absolutely disgusting copout. Just admit you are lazy and not that interested....honesty feels good.
Oh I forgot to mention towards the end of the song four fingers weren’t enough for Lucas he slaps the thumb up on the fretboard! I watch everything I can of his music and can’t get enough of it!!! Please keep playing and creating I honestly expect to see him do something else we’ve never seen done before on the guitar and change the instrument in some way because if anybody’s going to do it he will!!
I've been listening to original live versions of this song as well as tons of covers and this one just blows me away!!! Genius!!!
I have been playing for over 28 years. This was the best performance I have ever seen. I am amazed at your dexterity and stamina. I bet it hurts to play it that well. My hand burns just watching.
Indeed an amazing performance.. i will suggest you to checkout Fabio lima on TH-cam as well, he's another monster.
Well said! I’ve been playing since 93 and my forearms are on fire after watching him! I think my finger calluses just toughened up watching this! And the energy he emits! Fuck man, I wish I loved anything as much as this dude loves this song! I would bow if I were in his presence!
No words, mate! Incredible is the minimum I can say.
Mr. Mark and the creators have been absolutely defeated! Typical case of the master been taken by the disciple.
I just don’t get the negative likes here… sure people full of envy!
Im thinking he had some help :)
He knows his guitar like he knows him, it's incredible, I fuckin' love It! 😂
I struggled for years to learn how to play the lead guitar parts for this song, which I can do pretty cleanly but never all the way through without some flaw. Now I just watched you do that while simultaneously playing the vocal melody AND basslines. I'm humbled and awed.
People like this have three brains so it's easy for them!
the vocal melody, basslines, AND rythm guitar parts...on top of the lead part.
The tabs and notation on the sheet music for this arrangement must be absolutely insane.
This is just by far the best and technical performance and arrangement of this song!👏
A lot of the posts below talk about about this being a cover. It's not: it's an audacious arrangement that brings the original to new places and new highs... some of the chordal harmonies are crazy. Amazing stuff. I like the mix of flamenco meets chicken picking meets rock.
A slight rearrangement is still a cover.
@@criddlegakes2650 “Slight”???
The chord progression (Andalusian cadence) makes it well suited to flamenco.
There are two things I love about this rendition -- and they have nothing to do with technical proficiency, the playing style or even the skill of the artist himself. The first is the passion -- the raw emotion that starts off at 10 and quickly rises to 11 and beyond as the song goes on.
I've listened to several finger style versions of this song on TH-cam and while most were close to note perfect and technically sound, they also bored me to tears. In this rendition, he drops a few notes here and there, but it doesn't matter. At all. Because for seven minutes, there is nothing more important to the guitarist than this song. It shows. And it's electrifying.
The second thing is that he arranged a unique and dynamic piece of music while still staying true to the original (or maybe the added fills were completely improvisational, I don't know, but my point stands either way.) To quote Simon Cowell (and I can't believe I'm actually going to quote Simon Cowell), he "made it his own."
Simply stunning, sir. This is one of my new favorite videos -- and by far my favorite rendition of his song. Consider me subscribed.
Thanks, J! I truly appreciate your thorough analysis. Welcome to this channel🤟🏼❤
Solid comment, the passion just destroys.
@@agentsmith110111 I know, right? The passion is what separates this version from the others I've seen on TH-cam by a wide margin. Most of those renditions put me in sleep mode -- this one puts me on the edge of my seat.
This is one of the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. Period.
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I think everyone can stop playing guitar now. There is a clear winner.
xd
I was on the brink of giving up anyway, but that sealed it.
It's damned inhuman...
yeah nah mate
Nicely done!
The most impressive, and I mean THEE most impressive thing about this, is how you absolutely stay rock solid on time. Most covers on TH-cam have people rushing too much because they want to get through the tune instead of enjoying the ride (or practicing to a metronome).
It's all video manipulation and pitch correction. He's not even playing. jk
@@Greg042869 its true, I'm the guitar
@@jabbingkal9494 I was just wondering what someone could say to that guy to insult him. He knows he's great.
You got it!
This man's playing acoustic with more intensity than most metal guitarists, holy cow. Great work!
I see you havent fully discover the metal world lmao
what's amazing is that he is as subtle as he is intensive. he has VERY good feel for intensity.
@@Koragh_ maybe he has ans that's his opinion
metal guitarists. lol
@@Koragh_ scales up and down up and down up and down up and down
Absolutely nuts. I had a couple of reactions that are very unusual for me when watching music videos - a few times I just started laughing out loud at how ridiculously good it was. Sooo good. Barn-stormingly brilliant. Thank you sir!
There is not a word in any human language that would honor this man’s accomplishment properly. His passion alone just soaks through every note. Bravo
This is incredible. I can hear the words being sung without any vocals. So impressive.
RIGHT! JUST #PERFECT timing!!! and the words to sing along #karaoke
You need to listed to him play hotel California
How amazing is when someone can take you away from everything else in the world for 7mins. Thank you
This is sublime
Mark Lewis brought me here :)
🙏🏻🎸❤️
Me too!
This guy moves his fingers like a damn ninja. Throwing up guitar signs. Simply amazing
I never thought I’d hear a cover of “Sultans” that was as cool as the original, but words fail me. This is incredible! Lucas, thank you so much.
Thank you, Gryf!❤🤟🏼🎸
This is better than the original
I agree.
A new legend is known. What a time to be alive!
Guitar George from the song hates this guy though
This is one of the greatest guitarist I have ever heard. 72 years old and I,ve heard them all !
🙏🏻❤️
He is a master in his craft, but..... still one level under Marcin Patrzalek.
@@pkrsplr2666LOL! Marcin?? not even close to compare to this guy level 😂
@@pikachu1672 Little girl, you have to learn a lot to understand the mastery of Marcin...
Including Lenny Breau?
Truly a remarkable version of this song. Flamenco in Rock form. Truly different and by a Maestro guitarist. Thank you for the distinct priviledge of hearing this incredible rendition. A friend always !
I never paid attention to the editing before. I still absolutely love his style regardless if it’s continuous or not
Holy Smokes, did I really just witness that? Some of the most incredible playing I have ever seen!! I don’t think I have ever seen anyone Rock the fingers style quite like that
Aye, he is incredible. If you want another treat, check out Luca Stricagnoli... he plays 2, sometimes 3 guitars at a time fingerstyle. Pretty unique and mind blowing as well. There is some real talent out there on TH-cam. My favorite is Thriller. th-cam.com/video/zJ_pDcjICtw/w-d-xo.html
@@basedbear1605 yeah I hate to one-up Lucas because this is an amazing performance, but Luca is probably one of the best players alive right now. I sometimes think he's an alien or sold his soul to the devil or some shit
@@elistavinger3059 Haha yeah his brain works compartmentalized like Neil Peart's did. Incredible how he plays bass on one guitar and lead on another.
A three step annular bend... and nailed it
Amazing
Mind blown. Picking up the pieces off the floor as we speak.
100% sold his soul to the devil.
😈🎸❤
When Lucus made a deal with the Devil, nobody knew what Lucas got.
But the Devil got guitar lessons.
@@silvermediastudio 😅😅🤟🏼🤟🏼😈
Haha I came looking for this comment! Absolutely brilliant guitar player
Had to watch it twice, didn’t believe it the first time, incredible talent is the only way to describe this artist
I only found out this now, and the only bad part about that is that I'll never have the opportunity to listen to this for the first again. Just Wow, Lucas. What a banger. Congrats
If Lucas Imbiriba covers your song, it’s not your song anymore.
Agreed. If Lucas plays ANY song, it becomes the definitive version. The most talented person I’ve seen/heard ever.
You encapsulated the extent of his talent in the best possible way! It also happens to be true.
Soooooo true
His playing is incredible. But it’s comparing apples to oranges. Really great, but he doesn’t own it. Not like J Cash owns “Hurt,” for instance. .02$ ❤
There’s like a 1000 of channels making covers of songs ,finger style versions and they’re all fast and whatnot but they still playing a cover of a song, can’t create nothing of their own.
Like one of my friends who says he can play faster than Gilmore -
And that may be but he’s no Gilmore and he’s still playing Pink Floyd’s songs and none of his own making
Not sure what I just saw. Incredible.
That's some god level stuff
Opps !! This monster guy is honoring the original song while also playing its amazing cover 😮😮 INCREDIBLE
Been playing for 15 years, I have never seen anything better 👑👑👑👑
🙏🏻🎸
I have listened to this probably 30 times and it still gives me chills. Unbelievable.
Awesome, Jeff!🤟🏼🎸
I'm still in shock. That was above and beyond perfection.
This man perfectly expressed how I feel when I stub my little toe on the corner of the table early in the morning.
THANK YOU 🫶
Learned the first chord, so nearly there. Should only take another 3000 years to learn the rest. I'll upload once it's done.
I’ve bought the tab, and I can play until 1:20, but it took me almost 1 month with a family and a job😂. So yeah you’re right
@@Severr100 pls upload you playing i wanna see a mere mortal play this song
@@truerandom9578 Okey I will soon
@@Severr100 how can there be a tab for that?
@@jaytemp4203 Check the description, it’s a pdf file. Not guitar pro tab
This is hands down the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. As a guitarist I am in sheer disbelief of how immensely talented you are man, so inspiring 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot man!
th-cam.com/video/YltXCOIkK7U/w-d-xo.html this kid plays it pretty darn good too.
What he said.
Hands down one of the best performances I've ever seen...blown away!
Thanks, J!
Highest level of guitar playing I’ve ever seen
With YT, I now seem to discover a new guitar genius more or less every week. Jazz, classical, fusion, you name it..
Today, it’s Lucas’s turn. What a simply amazing and phenomenal/outstanding player. I especially like the semi-classical technique on steel strings.
Mate, this is absolute genius. I only hope Mark and David see this, they would surely love it. their validation would be inevitable. thank you
@Joe Biden Says: but combined who knows? You seem like a knowledgable, dare I say, intelligent person. Rather than attempt to give me a history lesson, why not respond to my comments to this outstanding piece of showmanship/musician craft. Or add your own perhaps. Plus.
Ola ! Agreed, incredible. 11/10
Never seen anyone rock this song that hard before... and don't expect to ever see anyone go beyond this... phenomenal!!!
Words fail me as to how gnarly this is… can’t believe it honeslty. Bravo dude, bravo 🙌
I'm amazed at how close to the original this sounds but using just an acoustic guitar. Keep in mind he captured perfectly the feel of the drums, bass, two guitars and vocals... Just nuts
That solo section that starts at 3:20 is something else. The way you incorporate all the other elements around what is essentially a guitar solo blows my mind
Man, you might be the very best acoustic 6 string guitar player on the planet! Every time you put a new video, I can't click fast enough. This sultan of swing was just mind blowing! Peace.
Hey, Troy! Thanks a lot, man! I live this song. It's such a classic!
The flamenco 💃 flare is frighteningly awesome!
Imagine if he had more strings lol
Nathan Green he would need more fingers, or they would simply move faster…. Lol
@@LizaNikonova No.
Fantastic.... Incredible how easy he made it look
Totally honours the original song while elevating it to a different plane of existence
There are not enough words in my vocabulary to express my admiration for the talent and dedication that it takes to play like this. I’ve been playing guitar for over 50 years and understand that to lay this way is not just hard work, it’s a God given gift.
Thanks Ray! ❤🎸
Wow…I’m been playing every day for almost 30 years, and this is a great video to recalibrate my perspective, reset my expectations and accept my mortality. At one time I didn’t even know playing like this existed. Otherworldly skill.
Гениально, так чувствовать музыку, такая концентрация и нет левых нот, без фальши-это талантище!!!! Супер! СПАСИБО ЗА МУЗЫКУ!!!!!
Hard to even put into words how amazing this is
Never seen a person play rhythm, lead, lead 2, and drums at the same time before. Also have never witnessed somebody so effortlessly sweep notes and chords across an acoustic guitar like that... great job sir. I'll definitely be returning to your videos
I almost hear a singer in there too! This was an outstanding performance.
Amazing.
Yes it was..he got a lot out of the acoustic. More than I have ever heard. Not an ordinary feat.
Flamenco players are usually twice as good as your regular awesome guitar player..and the techniques they use are just as difficult as they seem. That's what very healthy and solid nails sound like with proper finger technique on those sweeps.
Look up Tommy Emanuel, or Luca Stricanoli, there are lots of players who are exceptional fingerpickers, or Mike Dawes, they too will blow your mind
@@elizabethmacavoy1324 Good point, and no doubt. He was playing the melody, which is sung in the original, and playing accompaniment to that at the same time. As well as the lead guitar and rhythm.
WOW! One of legendary songs. The Sultan has returned to his throne.
Hey Andri, nice to see you around! Thanks, bro!
Man, this guy is a force of nature. I couldn’t look away if I wanted to. He captured my full attention from the first note to the last. “Stunning” would not be an over statement. Nor would “amazing” “mesmerizing”, or “awe inspiring”.
Despite all of the complexity of handling the rhythm section parts, vocal parts, and guitar parts, I am impressed how much subtlety you have put into the phrasing. The vibrato, the subtle volume shifts, etc.
I could watch this dozens of times and still find new elements to discover. This is art.
Mind blown. Truly incredible. In fact, next time you hear someone misuse the word ‘awesome’ in a sentence when describing something mediocre, give them the link to this video so they have some context for genuine awesomeness.
A comment as good as the video itself. Haha. Cheers
No word can say. That's the best accoustic version ever. "He knows all the chord! " ;)
So many cool techniques and still feels like they are used sparingly. It feels natural.
He's got an entire band in that guitar.
I wish to, one day, do anything at all with even 10% of the passion that this man has towards playing this piece right here.
10 you get without problem. 90 will very hard.
ADHD I am guessing… same…
@@alykatplayz yo i got adhd and im the most passionate dude i know
I never comment but just wanted to say that this was unbelievable. Most finger-style guys keep beating up the guitar and over do things to an obnoxious extent, but this, this was so tasteful. Bravo.
Hear, hear. Just sublime.
Most AMAZING guitar performances I've ever seen!
wow, this rendition blew my mind. mad respect 🔥🔥🔥
This is downright legendary. Absurdly skillful rendition. That’s magic!
In my top 5! I never, ever, ever, ever tire of hearing this song. Takes me back to age 17. I’m now 60. Love Mark Knopfler!!
Absolutely amazing. there are a lot of guitarist on TH-cam probably 1 million of them some of them are bikini clad girls, struggling to move their pinky and some of our guys hacking away with their instrument and when you find somebody like this who really has mastered the instrument it’s breathtaking.
OMG that just blew me away.!Wow that was seriously the best acoustic guitar work I have ever heard.
If the song isn’t difficult enough already...I almost can’t believe that one person can play such an accurate cover. I’ve never heard of you before but I’ll for sure keep an eye out for you in the future. Very impressive talent. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us.
During the roughly ten years since fingerstyle guitar has become very popular, I've seen so many covers of "Sultans.." - both in person and on social media sites. I also learned it myself. During all these years, I don't think I've ever seen a version quite as good as this one. Some were very good, but this is at the top shelf, for certain! It must've taken him several months-if not an entire year-to perfect this one. Indeed, it is extremely impressive, and full of feeling too; not just robotic.
m.th-cam.com/video/b4h3ywazU9c/w-d-xo.html
Non guitarist will never know how impressive this is 😭😭😭😭
Let me rephrase that. How masterpiece this is.............................................
eruption harder obviously
This is so true it hurts
I was sent this by 2 non guitarists and they seemed to know this is something special!
Not a guitarrist and I think this is god tier.
You didn't just make it sound like a finger picking exercise, you played it with passion and feel.
Simply amazing.
Senza parole! Un dio della chitarra! Con sei corde ,fa quel che vuole!!!!!!!!!
It's been a year and this is still incredibly impressive. I know that I will never be able to play at this level but I'm happy that I can listen at this level.
❤️❤️❤️
I know what you mean. I'm a terrible guitar player, but I am a guitar player. And so I can appreciate and admire mastery that I will never achieve. Quite sublime.
@@gavinsolomon2711I've played 30 years and while I'm told I'm good, when compared to Lucas.. yeah, no lol. Thing is Lucas has trained in a variety of styles and at the highest levels, and has developed his unique abilities over many years. If most us us put in that kinda time and dedication, we'd be much better players too. That said, and I said the same of Matteo Mancuso, some guys are just born with a gift, and when nurtured, turns them into absolutely magnificent players.
@@krob5375 the way he spreads them fingers and hits every note accurately with speed shows he internal love for heavy metal his butter n bread. They are the best guitarist, although I don't like the genre. They are some extremely talented musicians.
