[@ajchaney]

I know u did a lot of mayer videos already, but could you do a lesson on his Queen of California 2013 live and the mode he uses to solo

[@scottdawkins5216]

Im not sure if you are aware of it, but you referenced Chet Atkins in this video, there are some KZbin videos of Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler playing together and talking about music.

[@1000left]

When I first heard Sultans of Swing I had to pull my car off the road and just listen!!! It blew me away!! And you just nailed the solo my friend!!!!

[@sapelesteve]

Now I am convinced that GP can play anything on the guitar! 👍👍🎸🎸😉😉

[@shaneschommer1074]

I freaking love you man. Always coming through with high production value. You're a great and knowledgeable player with an awesome personality. Love all your videos

Mark played later with Chet and held his own. Chet was a guitar god and loved talent. This was a great video showcasing his, and your talent.

[@robtoc]

I'm 54, didn't pick up a guitar until I was 22. I'll try my hardest, but I'll never be able to play this solo perfectly as you do. I have to say that you definitely give me the confidence that I can DO IT!! ....and that my friend, is a great teacher on many levels. Thank you GP from PA, USA!!!!!

[@Pfsif]

He's got a day time job and that's alright.

[@SkillzMillz83]

...he can play the honky tonk like anything...

[@cwwmbm]

That ain't working, money for nothing, chicks for free

[@cgavin1]

Haha everyone has a lyric from this song that stuck in their heads as a kid. Mine is, "Check out guitar George. He knows all the chords. Mind, it's strictly rhythm. He doesn't want to make it cry or sing."

[@benjaminmcdougall8805]

he will get by....

[@cgavin1]

I don't pop my cork for every great guitarist I hear. But. Since I was 5 years old (or so), this has represented pure brilliance to my ears. Other guitar players move me more, other guitar players inspire me more, but I've honestly never heard anything more technically AND musically perfect.

[@jamescronan7220]

Hey big guitarist, play a little tune for me.

[@borjewahlen6917]

You are bb king, Mark knoffler, and many others in one person. Not only that you can play the notes, but you do it with a feeling and you teach it very good. You are amazing.

[@RC32Smiths01]

This is a classic for challenging yourself on guitar! Great work!

[@Digmen1]

I was always amazed how guitarists such as Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Carlos Santana etc could invent such amazing solos.

[@grooveitman929]

Increible solos by Mark at that early age. There it was almost already everything of the best of all his guitar playing condensed. So many great stuff in just one song. Good taste everywhere. Thanks por analizing them.

[@marcotorres1196]

Thanks for explain thiss great solo especially as you said , the last difficult part the arpeggio , GREAT TEACHER THANKS FOR SHARE , GRETTINGS FROM MEXICO CITY

Thank you sir, I’ve been waiting for this for so long. 🎸

[@graemethorne4540]

You are the Master of so many Guitar styles,by far the most versatile on you tube,A big thanks for sharing your skills🙋

[@mjf1036]

Well Pilgrim you did it again. Fine work and perhaps now I can learn to play these solos! Thank you.

[@sneezyIce]

One of my all time favorites!! Thnx for the lesson

[@AxemanMessiah]

Love your playing, videos, commentary, and your off-white guitar!

[@joro8604]

What's greater- the original or the guy that can imitate just about any style. The solo looks as hard as it sounds. So perfect.

[@coleccionartestore2949]

Wow! Is the same. Beautiful solos.

[@RudyVisuals]

Just wanted to say thanks! I was really struggling with that final lick but the technique you showed really really helps! Now just need to practice!

[@alexanderhammer688]

You are one of the best guitar players I listened to.

[@joansomme]

Wonderfull!!!...one of my favorites ever. You're preaty good!!!

[@balintnemeth422]

Thank you so much! Knopfler has been my favorite guitarist since I can remember. I love his technique and you nailed it so good.

[@balintnemeth422]

And of course, Mark Knopfler content is always welcome. 😉

[@ppvk2610]

Aahh man love it! My first guitar hero It just tickles the ears.. Later on had so much fun jamming on dire straits backing tracks.. Those type of chord progressions as "Sultans of Swing" , "Tunnel of Love", "Where do you think you're going", "Telegraph Road"; Well they are just so suited ( for me ) to play along, as there is already melody in the arrangements of the chords and as such really invite you to intuitively find your way..

[@craniofacialsurgeon]

I think this album came out in 1978 when I was a schoolboy. I had just started playing the guitar, a thirdhand crappy Les Paul copy. (Very) many years later I now have two Stratocasters (and two daughters!) and just about enough skill to follow this video. We are a household recovering from a bout of CV 19, and I had a full day of isolation to spend with you Thom, a totally selfish, but 'very good day'! The tips on phrasing and dynamics were particularly useful. Thank you very much once again for a really pleasurable tutorial. JB

[@craniofacialsurgeon]

06:55 oh boy

[@all_angles8528]

Mr guitar pilgrim, this is the most comprehensive, key-detailed & fire tutorial on SoS on all of youtube bar none, &, quite possibly the entire internet (no exaggeration I’ve scoured these interwebs for over a year now & seen DOZENS, all good yet all missing the critical elements you provide) . Thank you !! 🙏🏼 🔥 Issue now though... Sultans can never be fully realized on this platform until (if) you do the other parts of the song too? I for one would gladly help fund a worthy cause such as this & I'm sure I'm not alone. I hope you will please consider .. The world simply needs this ☝🏼

[@frankieherschberg5395]

Nicely done👌.. love the way you to tap into the personality of Mark Knopflers playing..those subtleties make the difference, its not only about hitting the right notes or guitar/amp settings.

Hello i try the solo1 on my channel!🎸👩‍🦳

[@alexanderroesch2287]

Geek Alert: As previously noted by others, this part does not sound authentic on the neck pickup. During the original recording, MK's guitar was likely outfitted with a high-output single-coil pickup (DiMarzio FS-1) in the middle position. So when correctly played in the #2 (bridge/middle) switch selection, there is some "quack". But due to the powerful pickup, the tone is so middle-PU-weighted that it ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE, sounds like switch position 3. Also the guitar should be red, to further enhance the tone! :) Love all your videos, and this one was overdue!

[@snekmeseht]

There are a few tens of solos that just transcend everything else. I think this is one of them.

[@Sorrowablaze]

I remember listening to a college station in Philly, they were doing a countdown : top 100 guitar solos of all time. They listed this last, 100 out of 100. WHAT. Still pisses me off to think about. Neil Young's solo from Cinnamon Girl was like 30 or 40 spaces higher than goddamn Sultans of Swing.

[@Binkler]

Love your videos. Fantastic. Can I ask a question - the first note in the solo you refer to as a blue note. That is a flatted fifth? So in the key of D minor that's a G#? I ask because the first note in the solo is a G bent up a full step to an A
