They style of playing they use throughout gives a percussion sound from the strings. It's similar to using an acoustic to keep timing if you don't have drums
I can also 'hear' the lyrics, where their brilliant finger-picking techniques echo the intonation of Mark's voice and reflect his timbre and accent; outstanding!
Actually, that wonderful fill-in the rest of the song effect appears to be working with only 3 guitars. From about 3:00 onward, it appears and sounds like 4 guitars minus 1. The mic for the guy on the far right (audience viewpoint, far left on-stage setup) with the red jacket and red-finish guitar seems to have dropped out. His solo is barely audible, being picked up only by his fellow musicians' mics. Yes?
But Knopler doesn’t mind If they don’t Make the scene.... He got a night time job He’s doing all right.... Doing better than them with just one guitar and a voice.
OKAY! I started playing guitar in 1964 at eight years old. I thought by now, I had seen, or heard, or any combination of the two, when it comes to excellent guitar work, of every style, then I FOUND THIS!! Four guys, four different styles, four different guitar makers, and four TOP LEVEL TALENTS, combined into one...PERFECTION!! They chemistry between them, the smiles and nod's for each one's turn, the attention they pay to the other one playing, there is NO leader here, all equal in their ability. Most of all, you can tell that they REALLY ENJOY what they are doing! I can't help but SMILE through the entire performance.... over and over again! BRAVO 40 FINGERS!! I am SO GLAD I found you!!
If you're under 60, you may not fully appreciate how much of an impact this song had when it was first released. After years of disco, it was so flabbergastingly different and stood out from all that stuff so profoundly that it's hard to describe.
When it came out in 1978, we were blown away. Especially the beautiful and complex guitar playing . And the song still sends goose bumps down my arms, so many years later.
I love classic rock I happen to be 20 and I've only known the song and band for like 6 years, but when i heard sultans of swing for the first time it sold me, and dire straits instantly became my favorite band ever, I started listening to all their songs & buying their CDs, and I can thank Mark knopfler for getting me hooked on playing flamenco style guitar for the past 5 years, still learning new things of course, but when i heard that this song was released as a demo in the UK in 1977 and released officially in the US in 1978. I was mainly mind blown by the clarity of the mix, all the guitars sounded so clean and bright, (which literally made me buy a strat) and the band was so tight with how they played in perfect syncopation. I was surprised cause most other classic rock bands and their songs from that time didn't sound nearly that clean and articulate to me. That was something unique about the band dire straits, I noticed every song of theirs I listen to was never boring in terms of musicality. And this cover of this band in my opinion is a beautiful tribute. I never get tired of these guys
The song was such a masterpiece in my opinion that it was way ahead of its time. Of course Mark Knopfler is a genius for using finger style guitar playing on electric guitars, in my opinion they sound cooler. More articulate, more punchy, more smooth tone as opposed to using a hard pick.
Just average everyday guitar players .Most pub bands can do this and more .Tommy Emanuel and his brother can do much better on only two guitars and Tommy could just about replicate this on his own .It's sad that the current generation are so deprived of real music that they think this is special I suppose that's the price we must pay for technology.
@@johnmilligan6605 These are not ‘average everyday guitar players’. I see what you’re trying to say, but I think you’re hugely exaggerating. These are objectively advanced guitar players. There just happen to be a lot of objective advanced guitar players in the world (which is no surprise, since the guitar has become the most popular instrument in the world), and technology is making them sound more and more amazing.
The good thing about music is that it is able to unite thousands and thousands of people of different nationalities, different faiths, worldviews, and political beliefs. All this seems to be erased when guitarists extract the first note and we all become absolutely equal. Thank you, greetings from Russia))
The crisis is only in your head. Turn off the News and you’ll be surprised at how quickly the crisis disappears. The sooner people realise this the sooner we can take our masks off and get back to living life as we should. Unfortunately, at the moment too many people are caught up in the drama of the thing to do much about it.
@@rayjennings3637 Whatever! Says you! SOME of us love the creativity needed to give a classic their own touch! Traditionalists are closed-minded and miss a lot of beauty in the world! Such a pity!
Heavy criticism in the comments. These guys did a great job. Mark Knopfler doesn't play it the same when he plays it live. He takes liberty to jam it. And that was the idea here. Of course, Mark's the king of Sultan's of Swing, and obviously there are some great renditions of the song that other people have done. I enjoy these as well. But thank you, 40 Fingers, for yours!
These guys did a fine job. I think the criticism comes exactly because this rendition sound so polished that people get suspicious. Listeners want to hear more individualism shining through in instrumental music. Not being familiar with this group, I think they'd benefit from a Paco de Lucia type that plays with his fingers to add another flavor.
I love how it starts out, as an homage to the original. Note for note and well done. THEN it went full freestyle, which I'm sure Mark would fully appreciate and enjoy.
Really masterful musicians at their peak. Really enjoyed that. Stupid to compare them with Mark Knopfler. He wrote the song obviously but my goodness what a great arrangement. They did the song proud.
You're so right how ridiculous to compare them to Mark knopfler I would more so put them in the range of Dolly Parton because that girl I mean she can shred
Unable to NOT comment here again! I start my work day at 4:30 AM, have always had "a" song, that had to be played, turned way up, headphones on! In the "old" days, we could only "hear" the songs, and that was okay. Now, we have TH-cam! If I had to give up every possible form of entertainment except for one... goodbye TV, goodbye Radio, just give me TH-cam!! Most of what I chose, was pretty LOUD, and ELECTRIC... to get me MOTIVATED... about a month ago... I watched this AMAZING CREATION! IT IS how I start my days now, every one of them, and it is the TOTAL experience here that makes everything else insignificant! First, the venue, how incredible, the camera angles, oh yeah, I have to ask, do you ask that the "brands" on your guitars NOT be obvious in your videos? It seems there is an effort to not show a good shot of those headstocks... allow me to continue... the non verbal communication between your 40 Fingers, is a joy to watch, the smiles... the head nods... you ARE CONNECTED to each other, on some kind of MAGICAL LEVEL! I SMILE through the entire performance, my cheeks get sore... but I am addicted, happily! I have watched almost every video by now, they are all AMAZING, but this one stands out as my favorite, closely followed by "Wish you were here" Pink Floyd. I want to know how to get the ENTIRE WORLD to experience what you give us, you are a true blessing to the WORLD, please keep doing what you are doing for ALL OF US!
I've watched this so many times, I've lost count. Every time, I see and hear something new. This level of skill is just ridiculous. Did they name themselves Forty Fingers because they have 40 fingers each?
. . . With an attitude like that Felix , you will . Have you seen that four - part series ( must have I assume ) about both Mark and John Illsey discussing Mark's six most important guitar's ?... at the end of the final episode he states ... " Become a freind to music and it will be your freind for life " ... He says that whilst holding a most uniquely beautiful guitar in the workshop and the presence of it's maker . . . reverently so . He is offering amongst the most loving and profound wisdom a young soul ( or indeed any soul ) could wish to both hear and enfold within . Thank both Mr. Ilsley and Mr. Knopfler .
You can do anything you put your mind to. 32 years ago I bought an entry level no name strat copy. I had nobody to teach me, and I could barely afford the guitar, amp, and cord. 32 years later I play in a cover band and teach others to play guitar. Stay true to the course, stay away from the drugs and booze it will only hinder your goals. I will be awaiting your first youtube upload... God bless
A few negative comments on here and it makes me wonder how many of these 'experts' are actually guitarists lol. The fact of the matter here is that they are not trying to be Mark Knopfler or Dire Straits, these are 4 excellent guitarists doing their thing acoustically, their own rendition of a great song from one of the the most unique guitarists the world has ever seen. Give these guys the respect they deserve. Oh and while we're on the subject of all these so called expert critics ( I use that term very loosely lol), proper muso's do not criticise other muso's, whatever level you're at we compliment each other and show respect and learn from each other. This was a fantastic performance, they look good, they sound good, they are great musicians and they all enjoyed themselves... and I'd put money on it that audiences everywhere would dig what they're doing. Great job, loved it!
Exactly my opinion. They are sharing their passion not entering a competition. Loved it too. Watched the whole concert on Dec. 26. Had a great evening.
@@brigitteviauddeniel6671 Yes spot on, it's not a competition, and good musicians (you know the guys that really know what they're doing) just have no need to criticize others and compare, nearly all good muso's that I have known over the years simply enjoy listening to others and rarely say negative things about other muso's, they may play differently and use different arrangements etc ... but it's all about each of us doing our own thing and learning more and accepting that we all play differently and are at different levels
Absolutely Spectacular! Love how each of you get involved in making this rendition, yours! Wonderful arrangement and your individual and collective talents are absolutely top shelf!
It’s amazing that 4 dudes who can play this well can play together! Gunslingers are not known to travel in packs after all. Great cover of a great song!
So true! My first thought at the end of the song was 'wow, what a patient audience it is to only start applauding when all 24 strings rang out...' My heart got torn apart due to the absence of applause 😞
I was thinking the same thing. All through the video I kept looking for an audience in the wide shots. Must have been a strange feeling to play in front of so many empty seats. Hopefully, with the world slowly opening up that will change.
Mark is def magical but that’s such a stupid comparison. This and the original are two completely different arrangements. These guys are playing what Mark plays but also his vocal lines and of course covering the rhythm guitar parts, which Knopfler both ain’t playing with his “10 fingers”. Mark is magical for his own sound/touch and songwriting, not because he could play things that would require 4 people to play…
@@niekvanwensen Agreed. There are two other guitars in the stage versions that I've seen of this. Plus drums, so yeah... no Mark does not do it just by himself. He is a master, but music is made better by collaboration.
Jamas me cansaré de escuchar esta canción y esta versión la lleva a otro nivel. Siempre se me saltan las lágrimas con todos los recuerdos que me trae. Sólo puedo deciros: Gracias, gracias y gracias
Okay hands down, this is absolute insanely good! Wow! Might be the sickest version of this true gem that I’ve ever heard, incredible energy between these guys! Fckn love it
This group never ceases to amaze me. The shooting locations are awesome. And top level video production. Know these guys are investing a lot of money in this channel. But in the long run it will pay off. Awesome work. Keep up the good work
You guys are AMAZING! Dire Straits holds a special place in my heart. I think Mark Knopfler is so tasteful. This is really special for me to find. Thank you!
You should watch the professor of rocks interview and video on that song! Mark Knopfler wrote it When he was a young musician hanging out in a dive bar in London town and there was a lowly jazz band playing Who called themselves the sultans of swing!! And The story of money for nothing is hilarious because Mark Knopfler was shopping for a TV and a tech store and basically just wrote down verbatim what two gentlemen were having a conversation about as they watched MTV play on the multiple TVs that were displayed! That’s why The unedited version has a bunch of Seemingly offensive language, because it was just a Verbatim transcribe of a conversation Between two regular people!
Mark Knopfler wrote an amazing song and seldom plays it identical way twice. If you want to hear Mark's version listen to Mark. These guys did a fantastic rendition.
This song is so well composed that, even with only 4 guitars, i can still hear the drumms in my mind
Could be your blood pressure needs checked if you are hearing drums in your head.
👍👍👍
They style of playing they use throughout gives a percussion sound from the strings. It's similar to using an acoustic to keep timing if you don't have drums

😂😂
But Knopler doesn’t mind
If they don’t
Make the scene....
He got a night time job
He’s doing all right....
Doing better than them with just one guitar and a voice.
Not as well as Mark Knopfler !!

One of the best comments I have seen on YT... 😊
fr
40 Fingers is the best name for a quartet I’ve heard
It good but lacks rawness
@@johnhopkins7614 How about 40 Fingernails...
It's pretty dumb considering they have only 32 fingers.
20 fingers and four plectrums and so hastily played that you would think they have to catch a train after the gig.
Fabulous my dad at 71 is learning to play guitar, I sent him this and he just loved it. So did I 👍😊
You got a awesome dad.

They know all the chords
I see what you did there. ;-)
Including Guitar George.
@@steveryan1799 yep
Wasn’t he strictly rhythm?
Yup. Until they all diddley-diddled the song into a mess.

Only one word to describe the playing ‘BRILLIANT’

The plural of Sultan is Sultans.

When I read this I tried to find comments like this, scrolled for couple of mins just found positive comments. 😂 But still good comment tho! 😀
Yeah I mean the rhythm lends itself to taking turns to jam, great job and it’s a live recording which is also great
I love how it starts out, as an homage to the original. Note for note and well done. THEN it went full freestyle, which I'm sure Mark would fully appreciate and enjoy.
Too many words will diminish my appreciation…BRAVO!!!!
Hearing Knopfler's classic closing riff on 4 guitars simultaneously... priceless. Bravo!
Lo-Res Gamer, I was wondering about half way through as to how they would handle the ending. They did not disappoint.
These guys are brilliant. The audio production is unbelievable!
Yeah, the sound quality is perfect!!
The audio production was done by one of the guitar players, Matteo Brenci 🙂
That's why we say old is gold. People who know the value of our age of music will always play them.

Thanks God, there are people talented enough to create things such as this.

And 3 yrs. later, I'm still highly blown away by this amazing performance. And still grateful, thank you.

@@michaelkeymont501 exactly
Excuse me, this song never dies and hence...
The way music is going these days, Star Trek should only play 60s &70s music with an occasional remark that music died sometime in the 1980s.
Mark still plays this sometimes! I last saw it played live in a bar in Ankara, the house band did it justice!
Super talented! Sad there was no one there to give them the thunderous ovation they so deserve. What an f''d up crazy time we are in.
As a person who loves playing guitar these guys blow my mind. What an inspiration! Simply AMAZING!
It's great and shows what an amazing guitarist Knopfler is since he can play this alone!
It would be such an honor to play a session with these guys. This is why boats don't sink.
They are the best in guitars...
After watching this I think Mark is a genius.
He IS a genius, for sure
I give sound guy/team credit. It isn't easy to mic steel string acoustic guitars well enough to get single note solos to sound decent. Good job.
Amazing...
Every guitarist wish they could play like this.
You should really check out the original then...
Mark Knopfler must be proud to see everyone playing his hit tune.
These guys would be a menace to any campfire, well done!
Every guitar player loves the Sultans of Swing, and I have played it for decades and it’s still one of my All Time Favorites 😜🤷🏻♂️👏👏👏👏🤩

Для вас, Вани, играет Алексей Архиповский:)
Accoustic guitar brand show-off!
Here's the thing... your music is amazing, yes, but watching you guys is so uplifting because you really seem to enjoy yourselves!
Totally agree.
Com Dire Straits já é bom com vocês melhor ainda, fantástico !
Belíssima performance !
Saving it up for Friday night!
Human metronomes. No in-ears. Yall know how hard it is to make 4 acoustic guitars sound this good? That was phenomenal.
Arte pura para quem ama Dire Straits !!
Good job on one of my favorite tunes!
Thanks!
They can play the guitar like anything !!
Me encanta esta canción, he escuchado muchas versiones y no me canso de escucharla, me encanta!
Very cool!! I think MK would approve!!!
This group never ceases to amaze me. The shooting locations are awesome. And top level video production. Know these guys are investing a lot of money in this channel. But in the long run it will pay off. Awesome work. Keep up the good work
Quem não ama uma música dessa? Belíssima canção Dire Straits é maravilhoso ouvir isso, amoooo❤🇧🇷❤🇧🇷
Fantastic, from Bangladesh. Guitar 🎸 playing, it's my hobby.I love Guitar very much.
That is probably the best cover I’ve ever heard. Amazing
You guys are AMAZING! Dire Straits holds a special place in my heart. I think Mark Knopfler is so tasteful. This is really special for me to find. Thank you!
A lot of good flashing lights and moving camera angles.
I think that even with the overly busy video editing, Mark would approve!
Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't...make the scene. He's got a day time job, he's doing alright!
Sure he is
Whay not!
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
You should watch the professor of rocks interview and video on that song! Mark Knopfler wrote it When he was a young musician hanging out in a dive bar in London town and there was a lowly jazz band playing Who called themselves the sultans of swing!! And The story of money for nothing is hilarious because Mark Knopfler was shopping for a TV and a tech store and basically just wrote down verbatim what two gentlemen were having a conversation about as they watched MTV play on the multiple TVs that were displayed! That’s why The unedited version has a bunch of Seemingly offensive language, because it was just a Verbatim transcribe of a conversation Between two regular people!
Fabulous...Music has no Boundaries...
That’s about right - 4 great guitarists to come somewhere near Mark Knopfler’s performance.
Mark Knopfler wrote an amazing song and seldom plays it identical way twice. If you want to hear Mark's version listen to Mark.
These guys did a fantastic rendition.
@@brucebellows7772 It IS a fantastic rendition. Takes 4 of them to approach what one guitar genius did.
They didn’t play the best part😢
Unlike George, takes four to know all the Chords.
Can’t you just appreciate good music and stop being a debby downer😌
