Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy Live) - Full Cover - Dire Straits

[@PavelFomenkov]

Two years you say? Wow! After two years I could only play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on one string. Way to go!

[@dylanguitar04]

Thanks Pavel!! I have learned so many songs from you!

I've watched this live performance several hundred times, and this is an amazing cover. Amazing job.

legend, brilliant, its my lifes dream/ambition to get this down, about 30 years in and im pretty solid up to about the 3 minute mark.... just another 40 yrs of practice :) well done mate

[@hansemannluchter643]

Incredible job. One of my favorite live performances by a band ever

Jesus; this is the first time I saw more than just your hands; I had expected you to be a 40-year-old geezer like me! You’re incredibly talented, mate. I expect you’ll go far. Keep at it, matey. Now the trick is to start playing with others ASAP. Playing in a band will make you 20 times better.

[@arjeetmaheshwari]

Stunning...you are a real Mark knopfler fan...so so close to his style

[@rialobran]

Great job young man. I've just recently started...attempting I should say, the Knopfler style after 40 years playing with a plectrum, I doubt I'll ever reach your level of ability now, keep it up.

Excellent son 🎉

[@matthewneeds285]

I have heard this many times and you are up there with the best! The amazing thing is the original was played live with virtually no mistakes and was probably spontaneous in places as Mark often does every time he plays it. I also play exactly the same way as Mark and yourself too. Keep it up man👍

[@dylanguitar04]

Thanks for the nice comment! It always amazes me how Mark is able to improvise these flawless solos while making it look so easy.

Dylan …… this is sick !!! Absolutely stunning… I’m lost for words. I stumbled on ur channel and I can’t put it down. I’ve been watching and listening to mark and DS for the past 40 years. I know every note of every song I’ve heard it so many times. You don’t miss a single one and ur tech is so impressive. I would love to know what Mark Knopfler would say about it. “Holding a guitar like a Plummer holds a hammer ?” Lol!!! I literally can’t pick up my jaw off the floor. I wish for you to meet Mark and jam with him. Your channel must be bigger then what you have. You are an amazing talent and such a hard worker. Damn !!! ❤

[@jsbtube82]

Amazing job! It's very difficult to replicate Mark's sound and I know well since I am a guitar player and absolute fan of Mark Knopfler. I never heard someone who played so similar to him, congratulations. By the way, what strings do you use? 0.09 or 0.10? Thank you!

[@dylanguitar04]

Thanks!! I’m using 0.09s

[@jsbtube82]

@@dylanguitar04 Cool thanks, I am using 0.10 lately but I found much more difficult to replicate the vibratos. On the other hand the sound is more powerful. I read Mark was using 0.09 at the beginning but he was using 0.10 more recently. Keep the good work!

[@hansemannluchter643]

The sound isn't that hard, it's the phrasing..

Best Alchemy cover I’ve seen, it’s perfect, down to every aspect of Mark’s unique play style, congrats. I’d love to know if you could share your setup for that unique sound, even on a strat it’s very close to the original schecter!

[@kylejones361]

Wow this is the most accurate cover of this song I have seen so far!! How did you learn Marks technique to well?

[@dylanguitar04]

Thanks!! I just watched every video of Mark I could find on KZbin and the technique just slowly developed.

You are an inspiration mate

[@ismailmarhfour4720]

This man so good its scary

[@ypc0cnz3328]

Man you are great with that thing. I was trying to learn how to play this but it was hard (for me) and I decided to do it "later", but after seeing this performance I actually got my strat and amp out of the closet (I hadn't played it in a few weeks, was busy)and decided to try again. Honestly, I prefer listening to this instead of the actual song. One of the things that irritates me with the alchemy live performance is how quiet that Mark's guitar was. I love how amazing you can play this song and your level of talent is amazing!

[@dylanguitar04]

Thanks a lot Mark!! I’m glad I helped you get the guitar out of the closet🎸🎸

Great job! I recently fell in love with Dire Straits and Knopfler and now want to learn guitar. Would you mind sharing any tips you may have from your journey so far? How often you practice, what you focus on, any online stuff you’re using for help, etc. Would greatly appreciate it bc this is the exact style I’m looking to get into. Knopfler is my favorite.

[@mikolaj00]

Hi, I found your channel because of Pavel stream, love your playing, I think that from all Mark's successors you two are the best. Btw I challenge you to play telegraph road live version from 2005s Shangri-La tour which is posted on Mark's channel :)

Thanks!! I used a zoom g2.1 pedal that has a built in audio interface and a built in amp sim so I just plugged it into my computer. I have the eq set so the treb is 3, mid is 8, and bass is 3. The pedal is simulating a Fender twin reverb and I added a tiny bit of distortion in audacity.

Can you link tabs if you used that and also, how do you play the muted notes at 0:11?

[@dylanguitar04]

Sorry I didn’t use tabs. If you practice chicken picking slowly to a metronome and work your way up you can get going pretty fast. There isn’t really a tutorial on KZbin on how to play that but so just try to slow down the original alchemy video and hear out what he is playing.

[@skullish8792]

@@dylanguitar04 I might be asking for a lot, but have you considered making a video about the finger style technique and showing how to do chicken picking, cause I don’t know if I’m doing it right and there are no videos explaining it:) And Mark would be proud of you

[@dylanguitar04]

I’m not sure if I will be able to explain it any better in a video. You pretty much just alternate your thumb and pointer on on string with the right and and your left hand mutes the notes that you don’t want. In my opinion the left hand is more important than the right for this technique.
