Martin Miller any chance you will put all these on an album?
Amazing cover as always! What would you call the runs you two are doing back and forth at the end?
I wish I can help but in our country it's not possible to pay with a credit card : (
Martin Miller I don’t mind ads at all Man. Videos like this should be monetized by you guys. I’m still studying and can’t produce any money yet. Great playing by the way and thank you for sharing this.
Slightly Dizzy covers will get flagged and demonetized by TH-cam automatically, it’s not up to them.
This drummer probably came from another planet. Excellent playing.
Same goes for every guy in this group!
Agreed! Excellent Backbeat.
I don't know man he's amazing and I love these guys but the hi hat isn't doing it for me. The swing is all wrong. Withers puts on a master class on this track.
Drummer is actually doing all the wrong things for a drummer playing with Josh Smith (excellent phrasing guitarist). He rushes, he drags, etc..
I'm a drummer and I think the drummer here is intrusive. Amazing guitar playing though.
Josh Smith's playing is just so underrated. I mean the guy is world class good. Such a dynamic guitarist
He's not underrated. Everyone who has ever heard him rates him VERY highly. He's incredibly respected.
@@brotendo ECHO this!!! Ian was perhaps offering the simple realisation that Josh should really be known as one of the greatest out there!!!
By who? Dude is a monster! Well that still maybe under rating him lol
@@xylonguitars his time will come, he has been growing a lot lately, I've been seeing him pop up everywhere since last year.
Nathan Carrille I've been saying this for a few years ... trouble is blues and roots music is never gonna be big time . There's a few guys who need to be bigger though like Josh and Eric Gales, Matt scofield etc. Anyone who loves blues and guitar knows them though
7:25 drummer making his own delay with hi hat. He's a 10/10 in every song/medley and extremly taste
yeah, real nice
Confirmo
yes, very nice, wondefull
yeah i heard that
Josh smith is criminally underrated and unknown, unreal guitarist!
Josh and Martin's dual lead at the end was brilliant.
@josh grant The whole ending is Dire Skynard. Ear candy at it's finest for guitar players. Pure heaven!
@@gregdennis5107 oh yeah! Absolutely!
@@gregdennis5107 I was just thinking that! I was 20 years old in 1978 when both Dire Straits and Skynyrd were on every jukebox in the world and these two guys playing like this is just pure joy to me! Today they call it "shredding" but back in the 1970-80s it was just a person who really knew how to play lead guitar. Man do I ever miss real rock and roll, when rap was to knock on a door--and nothing else!
8:27 the keyboardists face sums up this experience for me. So good!
The original is an iconic milestone. But this version got its own unique dynamic. Absolutely stunning... Great jamming!
I couldnt put in better words than you my friend.
Exactly. This proves how good the original actually is: when good musicians with great taste make their instrument/voice sing and groove while covering it.
Man that epic Guitar solo battle. The Drummer is a god, so much groove Energy. Love it
Literal goosebumps as soon as i saw this title pop up in my notifications
Josh’s solo.....frickin epic.....rewind.
Just the tone at the entrance, right? I just sounds perfectly confident.
Just sublime!
What was the name on his guitar? Looked like a Fender Tele but the headstock had "Chopin" on it?
@@davidhinson5467 The Brand is Chapin. It was was custom made for Josh by Bill Chapin.
@@BenScott777 k. Thanks for the info.
The best Sultans of swing cover i’ve ever heard on youtube. Extraordinary. Keep playing.
Every musician in that room is amazing.
Josh’s solo is unbelievable, I mean Jesus h Christ on a bike the man is unreal...💪💪💪😍
Nicely done. Enjoyed your version of a great song.
于涛 he quoted some parts of Mark Knopfler’s live versions of the solo, which is super cool.
"Judas Priest on a pony! “
于涛 so you watch Maxim bady also😂
Super nasty
When you see a Martin Miller video you first give like and then whatch
same here!
Yup
He sounds good, but that’s the most punchable face I’ve almost ever seen.
Mach ich auch; so do I
riffififi 😂🤣🤣
This is the Big Boys playground , absolute pinnacle of musicianship ,all blending seamlessly into a masterpiece of precision , passion , and damn good fun!
I liked the smile on the bass players face when Josh was playing his solo. Two incredible guitar players. I couldn't hear a bum note. A roomful of awesomeness. Giants of the music world (all of them).
That's what happens when everyone in the band is a killer musician.
They are indeed an awesome bunch.
You get the sultans of swing.
Awesome musicians butchering a classic...
@@marc-antoinejean6428 lol please elaborate
@@marc-antoinejean6428 it takes skill and vision to make your own version. Anybody with decent chops can make an exact copy.
Josh and Martin compliment each other brilliantly. That being said, Josh is absolutely owning this. I hope that guitar is over 18, Respect to everyone on that stage.
I've been listening to Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler for over 25 years now, and Sultans of Swing is probably the song I will never get tired of listening even after a million times. This cover is amazing, and I heard a lot of them, but I've never heard anything like this. The foundation and structure of Sultans of Swing are there, but they managed to completely re-invent it, adding their style and feeling, without denaturing it. The solos are incredibly creative but above all, perfectly executed. Josh & Martin have merged their style into something unique. Hats on to the bass, keyboards and drums players, they all nailed it as well, amazing. Thank you guys, you really made someone happy today. Now, I will be listening this in loop for a day or two :)
Try the REO Brothers cover of this song and you will be amazed
@@mulusmonteclaro198 I know REO brothers cover, it's a very good technical reproduction of the original (they are mostly known for their very sound accurate covers of the Beatles). But for me it's still a "mundane" cover, originality-wise. There are thousands of SoS covers on YT and internet, not many of them can pretend to re-invent the original song by bringing something new. Miller/Smith cover is one of the few to achieve that
@@mulusmonteclaro198 Here is another mind-blowing example of SoS re-interpretation: th-cam.com/video/EFDFpS9_ZWY/w-d-xo.html
I love Josh's smile at 8:25. You can tell he was having a blast, and he sounded so darn good, as did Martin!
Josh Smith absolutely killed it on this! Amazing in every aspect.
Sultans of fusion 😭😭😭😭
This has to be one of the all-time best covers in music history. Im dead serious. You guys actually improved on such an already amazing song! Im blown away.
IKR! Insane!
give The Main Squeeze a try. makes these guys look like a bar band...
@@the_lizardface I've listened to them a bit. Not bad at all! Thanks for the tip. They've got Impressive vocals, but I wouldn't say the drumming/guitar beats this clip (definitely not at a "bar band" level :) )
You are kiddin’, right?
Ive never heard dire straits played better by anyone other than them. This is special
This build ups really nicely! At first, I was a bit like meh... but then holy moly. Josh Smith's tone 👌
I love a good cover but this is the first time these guys didn't do it for me.
@@JonnySublime Exactly my thought. It doesn't have the right swing. Drums are all wrong. Too tight.
yarg nad agreed, no swing, rockin the hi hat all wrong
Just goes to show that the best musicians out there aren't always super famous
This is still one of the best guitar duos this channel has produced. Josh is such a killer. Such different styles just wailing. Love it and I am so happy Josh got his sig model but man I miss this original black tele
Maybe the greatest cover of any song, ever. Truly unbelievably good. Huge fan of everything you have put on TH-cam, but this is next level good. Wow.
just discovered the Martin Miller Sessions, EPIC
Same....pretty excellent
U are in a right place they are awesome
Fantastic! Two world-class guitarists playing a classic song with a superb bassist, drummer, and keyboard player respectively.
Everyone in this band is such class player. Perfect example of when four top notch musicians meet, the music exceeds the sum of all its parts.
Leaves me speechless. This band takes the original tracks to next level (with full respect to the original artists' genius of course).
NO ONE IS COMMENTING ON THAT PERFECT SNARE DRUM SOUND OH MY GARSHHH!!!!
Spot on
BadTanLines not to mention this drummer has some INSANE sense of pocket and shred, knows when it’s too much and when to just lay back
This drummer is badass!!
Who knew Marcus Mumford was this good at drumming??
I dont know that much about music but I love how often the top comments are "show some love for this totally obscure and minor part of the production" and I'm like "oh yeah I guess you're right"
This is the first time I've ever hear Josh Smith play. Holy cow!! That boy's got more chops than a street full of butcher shops.
His peers/usual jamming partners are Eric Gales, Matt Schofield, Kirk Fletcher, Greg Koch, Joe Bonamassa, Artur Menezes, Ariel Posen - AKA the real cats.

That's got to be the best version of that song I have ever seen and heard , absolutely stunning , especially Josh and Martin the way they both nailed those solos.
That final double guitar solo was basically unreal...
A collection of these performances would be a fantastic album download, I love the sound of the room so much.
I don't get the dislikes.. This is fabulous. I like Joshes singing, his brilliant soulful playing and the way he uses the rotary effect in this song. And Martin adds his superb jazz-fusion style, which makes it more interestering than just copying the original. And let's be honest: the drummer, bassplayer and keyboardplayer are fantastic too. Keep those covers coming guys!
To be honest Josh's singing is far beyond his guitar playing. Thus the first part of the song was a bit boring. But the solos part is outstanding. I understand why some people disliked.
@@OlegK-h6x I agree to disagree. I'm following Josh for a longer time and do not only judge him on this vid. I know what he's capable of.
Dudes, I gotta say, I'm so glad one of your videos popped up in my suggestions, I have not once been disappointed by any of them. Every one has been recorded well and always gets me cranking the volume. Excellent and very talented bunch, thanks so much for feeling the songs and conveying " your" own personal touches yet staying within the framework of the song. Best to you all, be well and prosperous. I mean that.
As many times as I come back to hear this over and over, I wish I could keep on hitting that thumbs up every time...
First time ever that I see a Sultans of Swing version that can change the song and the solo but keep the same energy, the same feeling, being fun, catchy, and perfect in every aspect.
BRAVO!
Mark Knopfler made me want to play guitar. You obviously all have so much fun playing this. Great job from all involved.
Almost for 3 years I have been listening to this cover...never gets old...filled with crazy solos...just amazing 🤯 i love dire straits but I listen to this version a lot❤❤ legendary players🙌
I forgot how great this was. The re-view was even better.
By 3mins in I was grinning ear to ear - WOW! Once Josh gets to play he knocks it outa the park and brings out even more from Martin... Magic, nice one guys. Best cover I've heard of that song by far!
I've probably watched this 75 times over the last year. I enjoy it more and more every time. Just fantastic! Thank you!
I'm discovering Josh Smith. Perfect performance, unique taste, flawless playing. 15000/10.
I really hope 1.5 million people have viewed this beauty but it also might be a hand full of guys like myself who watch it over and over and over ;D
Whoever mixed this deserves a medal
That would be Martin Miller
I don't like the sound at all
@@sheldonmontgomery9767 then get your sorry ass outa here instead of complaining.
Just posted a similar statement to the deep purple video.
The sound quality is outstanding 😊
@@sheldonmontgomery9767 Agree. Its awful
I really appreciate that they respect the heritage of Mark and they kept the most recognisable licks in their solos.
Josh’s solo had soul in it really felt it. Best cover on here hands down
I can watch this video a hundred times and I find another reason to love how each and everyone there uses their craft and gifts! Excellent job!
The bass and drums is killing it as always! Best rhythm section on TH-cam for sure.
Yes! Bar the Aristocrats.
the drummer it's perfect... like a metronome =)
I am left-handed and always enjoy watching a lefty drummer, because I used to play when I was much younger.
Le batteur est très très fort.
Il en fait juste un peu trop .
Perso j adore mais on l entend trop...
Sitting here in Japan soaking my feet in an Onsen drinking whiskey and then Martin does that. If I died now it wouldn’t be a bad way to go. Amazing work Martin, Josh and crew. 👍👍🎸🥃👍👍🇯🇵
I never, never comment but OMG.. WOW… i hope Mark Knopfler has listened to this and if he did, two things should’ve happened, tears of joy in his eyes and a phone call to arrange a session with you guys…
Martin, I love to watch you play and jam with other guests, but when I saw that you had Josh Smith in the house, I knew this was one to watch over and over! Both of you are masters of your crafts and together, well, that was more than a huge fan could ask for. Thank you!
Miller is obviously an amazing player, but I just love Josh’s overall tone and style here a lot better. He really rips. Wish more people knew about him
Couldn’t agree more. Martin is a beast, but if it’s a battle of feel and tone then Josh wins hands down.
I found miller’s tone wanting..
As stated, I could dream of playing like Miller... But there's just something about Smith's tone. Miller sounds almost like he's playing through an amp sim. The tone is too scooped.
They both absolutely shred. I just didn't like the amount of distortion (I'm not familiar with the names, but I'm quite sure it's him) Miller was using. His tone didn't really blend in very well with the other musicians in my honest opinion. But jaw dropping performance from every single musician here!
Is Martin’s high performance Ibanez guitar the wrong tool for sounding soulful on a song like this?
This is the second time I must comment on this video: This is such an incredible performance. The guitars are superb. I literally can't stop watching it. I'm certain you made Knofler very proud. Incredible performance, incredible sound. Rock on y'all!
Incredible guitar solo exchanges
Two lead guitars in Sultans of Swing couldn't ever be done by Dire Straits. And this actually worked!!!
Well done guys, I've never heard it done so well!
This is the video that introduced me to Martin Miller and the band. It’s such a tasteful cover of a real classic. Every part is true to the original but with clever twists, which results in one of the best modern interpretations I have encountered. Martin’s solo from 3:30 to 4:50 is amazing...every chromatic run is perfect...every tone and intonation is spot on...fantastic! Excellent music makes me laugh out of joy and this one keeps me smiling. I’ve listened to it about 50x and will continue to come back to it. It’s the best cover of Dire Straits on the planet.
When genius and empathy come together, musicians like you emerge ... wow, what good musicians you are !!!!
Wow! This is the best rendition of this song. Mark Knofler is amazing and you guys are absolutely amazing!!
Não me canso de assistir e ouvir esses caras. Mandam bem de mais, todos!
This is just insane! I've been listening to Dire Straits for such a long time and can sing every note of the solo's in this song. I always loved the Alchemy version because it just took the song even further. But this version is just out of this world. Thank you Martin and Josh on killing it on the guitars. And also the drummer just makes this song even better than i'm used to! Great musicians and great feel and love for the craft that is music!!
Jesus wept. If that didn't get you playing air guitar, banging out the odd double bass drum and generally losing yourself in that you need to get help. Awesome. Stunning. Simply stunning.
The whole band lifted with Josh’s solo. Another great cover.
What a band, what a drummer!!!!😍😍😍
Incredible, as usual. As a Mark Knopfler fan, i must recognize that sometimes is very nice to see Dire Straits songs taken on another way.
All you guys are doin a great job! But one special mention to the drummer, awesome man!!!!
My goodness ❣️. Complexity in perfect harmony. What a performance. You guys enjoyed playing we enjoyed listening. Thank you.
The drummer has style even in the opening count.
Josh’s solo is unbelievable, I mean Jesus h Christ on a bike the man is unreal...💪💪💪😍
What about a Dire Straits medley? :)
Yes!
This Needs More likes!!
Would it be awesome?
LET IT HAPPEN!
Totally agree...yeh would like to see these guys do a long medley like the queen and genesis....and how about that forgotten DS track industrial disease?
Josh sulla Tele è un mostro! grandissimo!!!
6:38 Excellent synchronization and perfect timing... So good 😎
Martin Miller is one hell of a player, but when Josh's solo came in I got goosebumps. It's more my style and maybe that's why I liked it soooo much! Great cover, gents!
Hi is epic )
They knew he will kill it so they invited him
cant agree with you more
@@burakgencer65 Turk?)
@@Rustam_D big time
And this is why I am a Patreon supporter!
Fantastic performance!
... and the dialogue between the two guitars at the and is amazing.
Friendly regards from Bulgaria and Black Sea!!!
Back again for maybe the 300th time. It just gets better and better.
At first i thought this was just a mere C because sultans of swing is uncoverable because it's just so extraordinarily good
but holy shit this turned into a A+ not gonna lie
Best Sultans of Swing version ever. Respecting the original with refreshing approach
The more Martin Miller clips I watch the more I just love the drummer - what a perfect pocket.
the drummer is so good u know he sounds good even without mics and sound edits
Simply ‘off the scale’....some great guitar playing and a rock solid band! Well done guys! 👍👍👍
josh & martin will make this world a better place to live 😌😌
the other member of the band too😊😊
I don’t think music gets better. This is it. The very top.
THIS IS JUST EPIC PLAYING SKILLS! THAT SOLO OF THE SINGER IS INCREDIBLE!!! AND THE COLLABORATION OF HIM AND MARTIN IN THE END JUST FINISHED THE SOND WITH A GRAND FINALE... AWESOME JOB YOU ALL
This couldn’t have been more tasteful!! Well done
7:33 TASTY. Josh is a killer player.
cara eu vou falar uma coisa... EU AMO VOCÊS! vocês são DEMAIS!!!
6:40 blew my mind, dear God what a run. Drummer added so much HEAT to that little riff I'm still in awe on my like 5th listen.
personally I find the lick at 6:11 the best of the lot
and I can't lie, everytime I listen to josh's entire solo, it keeps going up my list of favorite solos ever. might seem too audacious of me to say, but there's something special about this
A brilliant take on Sultans of Swing, top notch!
Ai sim . Top top, direto do Brasil.
Joshs sound speaks to me... Damn... An authentic electric guitar sound with that spring reverb. great!
Great cover! Didnt know Josh Smith sang, actually his voice matches the style really well.
Amazing performance! I can listen and watch it all day long. Both guitars are incredible, the entire cover is fantastic, the sound is just perfect. Wonderful wonderful rendition.
Holy crap u both just blew my mind my god seriously the last five minutes of song I couldn’t stop smiling seriously just brightened my day amazing truly amazing
Essa galera sabe fazer música de qualidade!
