the whole song is a solo

Even played it without a pick just like what Mark Knopfler would do! This is awesome man, thanks for this!

Nailed in guitar (rhythm ,riffs and solos) ,nailed in fingerpicking ,nailed in clothing Result :A+ (100/100) Keep going !!!!!

This is my holy grail guitar piece. I am nowhere near yet, but I'm breaking it down into chunks and some day it'll click into place. So much great technique here. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Can we not ignore that he's dressed like mark

One day I'll play this and I'll feel like god

Top flight playing, accurate tab, no bullshit talking "without further ado let's get started and jump right in", *and* the hilarious costumes and props. The ultimate learn a song channel!

I'm going to enjoy it like you can't imagine it

Bro Knopfler doesn't get near as much credit for being a guitar master. I mean this is just great.

You get a shiver in the dark It's a raining in the park but meantime- South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie, double four time You feel alright when you hear the music ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south London town You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing Left handet old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the Honky Tonk like anything Savin' it up, for Friday night With the Sultans We're the Sultans of Swing Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call Rock and Roll And the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing"

This is too good. Blown away by this guitarist's ability across all genres.

3:28 for those who wants to learn the solo

It's probably one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

You nailed the rhythm mutes and the solo 'indecision' mute notes, the full bends and the phrasing...you are mark Knopfler and I claim my custom kitchen.

Stellar performance! The finger picking is what's kept me from ever attempting this one, and you nailed it perfectly. Excellent job, Sir!

Mark Knopfler is the sultan of swing while i am the sultan of my fingers hurting

Such a great job. The first band I was in was with my uncle. I never realized how much work he put into learning this tune. It's a beast of a solo. Wonderful phrasing. It's a master class of guitar skill. Thanks for making this video.

One of the most accurate cover and tabs, truly a great work👍

Love that bright full tone that you use to play so passionate that inspire me as a guitarist especially when you sound that lively solo where you really make your guitar sing!

no words to say is perfect and I 've been searching for 10 years a good tutorial about this song , now I put in the garbage all the previous video that I have , really thanks a lot for sharing !!!!!!!

I forgive you for playing Sultans of Swing on a Telecaster, instead of a Stratocaster, since your TABS are amazing, once again! Thanks! 😁😁

When you can play this song you are no longer human. You've ascended to some higher level of being.

Spot on. Even the little muted string "clucks". Played with the fingers and all. Thank you for this.

When you get a chance can you please do Let There be rock - ACDC live at the River Plate. I feel I can learn alot about improvisation with that song

I was struggling to understand his strumming rythm pattern...now i understand he uses a flamenco technique with the thumb and index fingers! Thank you for the great lesson👍

Very articulate cover my man. The telecaster and your fingerstyle playing really do it justice. Awesome job.

This song shows that u don't need tremendous effects to get a great tune and make great music. 👏👏👏👏

Thanks - This is the best I've seen this broken down, and you play it very cleanly. All the "country/blues/ Latin" accents just right.

"...Check out guitar! Mr. Tab, he knows all the chords..."

This video should be framed and considered a work of art.

No Pick, can't get more legit than that !!

Excellent interpretation! And for Dire Straits, sublime composition!

I'm always excited to see a new post from you. Another amazing job! I played with a guitarist that loved to play this song. It's a fun tune and great for just grooving out on stage. The crowd always goes nuts for it. All the licks in it are unique, raising the bar even further. I would imagine it's a challenging piece to nail, as you have. You are a legend sir! Cheers!

Man this is one of the best sounding guitar song ever.

I'm just in total awe, thank you for making this. Learning this song is on my bucket list

Awesome! This is the tutorial version I've been waiting for. Loving the whole thing but especially the white wristband detail! Bravo.

I'm not a huge fan of this song but I gave a like anyway, because gosh dang.... That was clean

This proves Knopfler is very technical just to stack the melody and beautiful notes all together. genius !

These are just incredible... the guitar with the tabs... just fantastic

@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons Your videos are absolutely gorgeous! I found your channel half a year ago, when I tried to handle Money for Nothing. No one did so much work in tabs to explain Knopfler's fingerpicking sequence. Five months, and with your help the song was learned. Now I move towards playing Sultans!

I love this song, and the way they play it. Just great

Absolutely brilliant. I honestly could have believed I was watching Mark ….. So good 👏🏻

SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO!!

Holy sh** that's not for today

"Bravo!!" congratulations this is a excelent song!!

Massive thanks to you for this bro. I must have watched this a thousand times whilst learning how to play it. It's been a journey, finally got it nailed, couldn't have done it without you! If you wanna see my acoustic version, I just uploaded it on my channel. Much respect x

My music teacher gave me this to practice for an upcoming recital.This was the hardest thing I've ever learnt.

loving these videos man. been wanting this one for a while. just a one guitar play through playing rhythm with all fills and solos.

I just can't take my eye off that tele The most beautiful thing I have ever seen

This is what they call a "Guitar lesson"! Excellent performance, excellent interpretation, stunning! Thank you so much

Greatest guitar riff of all time, period.

I love how you have the guitar tab going along with the playing!

I finally found you! thank you so much for doing these songs my playing has really improved , youve made these songs new again , I just cant thank you enough !!

fantastic job dude !! I love the very minor embellishments, makes it way more authentic sounding. u got a great technique too, keep it up

His clothes match the guitar. If you cant play this and make it look that easy, it's because you must have matching attire

Excellent tutorial! And you just can’t escape the fact that the versatility of the Telecaster’s tones shine through still the Swiss Army knife of guitars. Thank you so much for this it’s exceptional my friend.

Who downvotes this!? That was fantastic!

I truly love Dire Straits, could you Mr. Tabs record more videos of them please, ty. I really appreciate your job man, keep it up

Oh man, that was awesome!!!! With your playing I ones again realized how cool is the song.

Hands down, THE best song-learning videos in the universe. IMO. And I just found them today. Now I know what I'll be doing the rest of my life. Thanks. $'s coming your way. 👍

beutifull mood. playing, guitar, custome, perfect love this

The challenge has been accepted. Ive played bass for 40 years. This is my favorite rock n roll song. I must learn this song by valentines day 2023

The chills man! great job!

OMG YES! I’ve been waiting for this! 😍

These posts are brilliant learning tools. Just a couple of very minor things I noticed in the tab: third note of bar 67 show fret 7 (F#) on the B string, I believe it should be fret 8 (G) which matches the fingering. Similar thing in bar 113. Bar 169 shows it correctly. Really appreciate the time, effort and fabulous playing you obviously put into these.

Your content is amazing!!! Congratulations and please, keep doing what you’re doing

most. accurate. cover. ever. seen. Good job, man! Thank You!

Me: I can play sultans of swing on guitar Me: watches Mr. Tabs play sultans of swing on guitar Me: Guys, im learning how to play sultans of swing on guitar

I used to say the only person I've seen nail this is Mark Knopfler. Now I say the only people I've seen nail this is Mark and Mr. Tabs. F'in killer.

wow amazing

Has Mark called to congratulate you to this great 🎸 performance?

This vid is the shit, love what you do. After playing for 37 years i’m finally learning this song with your help coupled with a guitar for the practicing musician issue from way back, yes i’ve got issues going back to 84. In a few places, there are some positional differences from the way you play it I favor, but that’s just a matter of personal taste. It’s actually a pretty easy song to play, the rhythm and solos and all the fills, pretty easy stuff, but… tasty as all fuck. Mark is a fucking genius for this song alone, never mind all those other hits he wrote.

すばらしい演奏です！ かっこいい

FINALLY

Watch out for measure 113 theres a mistake on tabs, 7th fret on second string should be 8th. Thanks for your work here. Very well done.

Beautiful job!

When i saw the video on the recommendation the first thing i said was " oh boy he is gonna get so many views "

Man, i am glad i found your channel! Amazing job! I love the detail and appreciate the work you put into it. I just don't know how i did it back in the day when there was no KZfaq 😂😂😂

This song is in my top 10 of the best art pieces of history, definitly.

Very well done one of the best solo ever ever created in the music world (mark knopfler God and talent)...bravo...Good job

I wonder how many people actually watched this video, and how many times each. Trying to learn the song, it must be my 100th time.

"You get a shiver in the dark..."

I don't really like Dire straits or this song ....... but seriously mate ......... Your G N R stuff is out of this world. A thousand years of practice wouldn't get an average guitarist to your level, you must have so much natural ability to go with all the hard work. There is a parallel universe where you are worshipped as a God.

Amazing stuff man! Rock on!

can not imagen playing this live and singer at the same time... amazing

The John Williams of E-guitar!

Absolutely amazing!

This is great. No nonsense, straight in. Nice. Excellent job, thank you.

Another amazing video, thank you!!!

Absolute perfection well done..

Fantastic technique and feel. Big thanks for sharing

This is exactly what I've been waiting for

as much as i hate the fact you didnt use a strat, on a song that was written specifically because of a strat, i still love this cover and video!

Fantastic, great feel on the long song without mistakes.

Its the arpeggios and phrasing that make this a classic i think ❤

maybe you are mark knopfler😳😳😳

love this man amazing

Right when you hit the part I was waiting for, your Patreon pop-up made me smile.

Awesome!
