Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (acoustic cover) 

When I first clicked on the video I thought "how the hell do you do this one solo on acoustic?!" and 5 minutes later I'm like "ah, that's how". Insane, so good!

I have never seen any one perform at this level so consistently. He nails every single song he covers

This is, quite literally, the way you do it.

Mark Knopfler really dropped the hardest song about microwaves and refrigerators

Now folks... this IS working - and THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT!!! Much respect man.

You know, it's not often that you come across someone who can really capture the essence of a "voice & guitar" performance like Corey did in this cover. I mean, I've watched a lot of these types of videos, and while many of them are impressive, there's just something truly special about the way Corey plays and sings. And while it's easy to feel a little envious of his talent, it's also incredibly inspiring to see someone put in the time and effort to achieve something truly great. I have no doubt that this cover took an immense amount of work and dedication to perfect, and that's a testament to Corey's incredible skill and passion. So, Corey, if you're reading this, just know that your performance was not only fantastic, but truly awe-inspiring. Keep doing what you're doing, because the world needs more artists like you who can remind us all of the power and beauty of music.

The acoustic cover we didn’t know we needed until Corey pulls a phenomenal rendition out of left field. Great job!

Why has it taken 11 months for this to hit my feed? These vocal chops are incredible and the guitar playing was really well done. I would listen to this on Spotify

I am gonna say it again: this guy is sick. Never seen something like that he deserves to be famous all around the world even if he chose another path!

I was born in 1972, center of GenX. This song was the anthem of MTV for at least a couple of years. Cable TV was brand new. Music on cassettes was still novel. This was coming out of the TV, if you were a teen then, all day, everyday. In particular, that core riff right at the beginning. You play that so crisp. I literally saw an image of an astronaut on the moon…the technicolor flashing of MTV…and suddenly I was transported to my living room in 1985-86, staring at the TV. I could see the computer-cartoon characters from the video. I was, I think 14…just starting high school. That song was everywhere. You didn’t like it or hate it…it was like a national anthem. Which was odd, given how transgressive, ambiguous, unorthodox, and bitterly ironic it was. Incredible cover. I must have heard this song a thousand times, and the guitar riff is chiseled into my ear. But you made it instantly alive again…it was like I had never heard it before. You hit that riff so clear and clean I just want to listen to it a hundred times again. Amazing.😄

Damn his play is tight. The amount of skill in this video is insane.

That was as professional as it gets. Everyone hit "like" and "subscribe" for this guy, and then share this video with someone else. This guy should be famous.

that falsetto is INCREDIBLE geeeeez

I have been listening to this for a half hour, i have never seen a better acoustic version of this song in my life. Thank you from Croatia baby. Much love

A single man performs this song thoroughly and successfully!!! Strictly amazing. I wish I could see this guy in a pub performing live. Appreciated...

F**ing amazing!!!!! Already super hard to play on an electric guitar, but on the acoustic with such a clean and errorless playing and that voice - damn - what a man! what a great musician! respect and congratulations! Love what u are doing! Many many thanks that you share your great skills ❤

This masterpiece performed with just one guitar ,let alone acoustic, and singing at the same time.?Corey my friend your charisma knows no boundaries !

I'm a simple man. Corey releases a new video, I repeatedly play it.

Dude there are a million guitarist/singers on RU-vid these days but YOU are my favorite. Not only do you have incredible taste, you also put just enough originality into your covers to make them stand out and shine above the rest. Idk if you have a record deal but if not, you deserve one!

I was playing this song a couple days ago and now he drops a cover. The world surely is beautiful.

Everything that he performs is phenomenal !!!!

Mark was SUCH a genius in like.. EVERY WAY

I grew up listening to this song. You have done an awesome job with vocals and guitar. Incredible what you do and being talented to do it with multiple artist.

First time on the channel and it will not be my last. I've been playing for 34 years and this still filled some gaps I didn't know. Respect from Mississippi

I subscribe to probably hundreds of artists, Nobody makes me wanna pick up my guitar as much as you! Killing it dude thank you so fun

I- I'm at a loss for words. Money for Nothing as an acoustic cover is not something I would've ever thought possible, but THIS.... absolutely incredible

This song always makes me pause, grin and say in my head "if those kids only knew". lol Great version.

Great performance. Very underrated should have a million subscribers. He has been around for years playing great covers

My hands hurt just watching this. Bravo, Corey!

It makes no sense how someone can be so good....the guy is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL

I have to say, I'm glad you just changed out the f-bomb for "hoser" instead of cutting the whole verse like they do on the radio. Great cover man!

Seriously RU-vid, how can some dork playing Minecraft have 3 million views and this genius only has 250k views. I guess you can’t account for poor taste.

I don't listen to the original song anymore, I find this extremely inspirational.

This dude can simultaneously pull of CEMETERY GATES by Pantera and this too!?! Phenomenal

To play this song acoustic this level and singing combined .. if I would see this in a pub I would literally freak out.

I've commented so much on the insane ability of this "DUDE"now I'm completely lost for words.....🙏💚

That was bad ass. One of the best guitar riffs ever.

I love how he puts his own twist on every song. His voice sounded strong 💪

Well Cory I don’t know what to say. This is just another example of an absolute knockout cover. Absolutely inspiring and as a fellow musician I know how much work goes into making something so complex look so easy. You deserve the views and you deserve every success that comes your way.

Found this yesterday, I've listened to it about 10 times since then. Brilliant stuff.

Wonderful cover of one of the greatest hits of all time! Encore!👏 Really makes me miss MTV, long live the 80's and 90's!

two months ago i tuned in with cemetary gates,.. i thought it was amazing!!! and now two months later this gem,.... i really love both tracks and he plays supamthfcknamazing!!!!! my spine is vibratin'. klinkt gewoon fantastisch!!!

Awesome a near 40 yrs old tune! This Cool CAT catapults it into this decade on an EPIC performance. Grazie mille! Greetings from Boise... Aye Hosers 😆

Corey, if I could give a standing ovation through the internet I would. That was so enjoyable. I was sitting here grooving in my seat in my home office. Bravo!!!!!

The intro is brilliant 💥

reading the title I thought: there is no way he will be able to pull this off on an acustic guitar, but he did. and the funny thing is that his outstanding guitar play is even outclassed by his voice. jesus christ, that is a gift

You're ability to arrange songs (that i would have thought impossible to make work) on acoustic guitar is really impressive !

that iconic intro on an acoustic? yes he does and sounds great!

awesome job Corey 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Brilliant, that’s the way you do it…

An absolutely great interpretation of a classic. I can’t tell you how often I’ve played this song in my car and thought I’ll never hear a better version than Knoffler’s Best of…Private investigations album. But this, my friend is better. Amazing!

As the man said, that's the way you do it. Great job. Love it.

Mark Knopfler would be proud of this! Always looking forward to your next work.

This guy consistently surprises me and I've been listening to him for years

Your vocal range and guitar mastery is brilliant. Every piece of music you have recorded is a tour de force. Well done Corey! Greetings, Andre from sunny South Africa

Well done Sir. Very Well done. That shit ain’t easy. Takes Way more hours mastering this level than average dude thinks. Thanks!

Love the use of the Canadian “hoser” word replacement.

OH MY! THAT WAS CRAZY! what tha hell ???????? bro i don´t even know how you can do that kind of singing and playing all at once!

0:41 You're here for this.

10 seconds into the video and this is already a blast.

Nailed it!! Loved the intro, so well done!!

THE BEST ACOUSTIC PERFORMER.

Absolutely best version without a doubt i ever heard and acoustic?? ! ! Thank you for again sharing!

As always - brilliant interpretation. One of the most complete players on the Tube. Thanks

THIS is THE BOMB! You perfectly preserved the original flavor of the song and layered on your own spice with an amazing result! Of all Knopfler's hit songs, this one was probably my least favorite, but your version is brilliant! Dare I say I like it better than the original! No, really, I do. Nice work man!

I think this is your crowning achievement!

Super awesome!!!! Faithful to the original - check. Got it's own unique energcy - check. Special touch by including the intro and String vocals - check! Just an 100% fantastic.

Never imagined a acoustic cover of this song sounding good but you killed it

Excellent cover Corey, lots of improvisation throughout on a tough song!

This rocks man, such a good cover and well executed. Really boppy on the main riff, love it

Thank God, thanks Corey, there's still awesome people playing awesome music ❤

This inspired me to learn this version. It’s still rough around the edges but the soul and groove are there and that’s all to you paving the way brother 🤘🙏

Blues rock country and everything in between. Awesome performance!!

Absolutely masterful performance. Perfect in every way.

Wow! I don’t exactly know what I was expecting, but I know I wasn’t expecting THAT! Incredible job man!

Keep going!! 🤘 As someone mentioned in the comments below, I'm putting my guitar back down now and rewatching 😅

Whoa dude, that was insane.

Oh, my god. This is incredible, Corey. (That intro!!!)

As a Gen X’er this is one of my faves and you absolutely killed it. Many props!!

The best cover of this song in acoustic version that I have heard !!!! Corey as always does an excellent performance with exquisite musical taste !! A great musician who leaves his mark on each song, either own or cover with his technique, knowledge and passion !! Thanks Corey for the pleasure of this song !!! (Google traductor)
