(Dire Straits) Sultans of Swing - Gabriella Quevedo 

Lol. I concur. Have a great day.

Mind you it’s strictly rhythm

She helped the Taylor a little bit to play that song.

😂😂😂😂😂

Underrated comment 😂

I guess this songs gotta be a banger back in the 80’s

@@hathaway.1166 My time. My Music. I'm from 1958 :-)

@@hathaway.1166 Close to 1978 if I remember correctly. I was a high school student

I have also just turned 60, and fully agree with every one of your sentiments. This girls rendition is superb and evokes many many good memories of my youth.

Its remind me in my 60' old age... a nice and well maked " chillo", from India. It blow my head away. Nice memories. Today I enjoy a nice green, very green tea. Wonderfull music young lady.

you can say that again brother bob

Copy that. 😂

Well said

Bobby Vee, there was a famous American Singer/Songwriter with the same name! Anyway, I agree with your comment 110%.

I'm 72

Well then check out 18 year old Jasmine Star doing it. She will make you cry.

@@diggerthegroundhog8799 I checked her out - nope, sorry, technically good but not as musical.

@@diggerthegroundhog8799 I also feel like the other one is "technically" better... But this is leagues has leagues more emotion and restraint. Like everything note in this version is given it's own room to breathe in the most beautiful way... That bend she did at the beginning around :20 in, it just has such a profound effect on your ear... And the phrasing and how long she held it... And this whole version is FULL of those kinds of moments of musicality, restraint, and articulation. It might even articulate many of the notes better than the original version did (And this is coming from a HUGE Knopfler fan). This is flawless.

@@adamavery3906 Well said and very much agree. What people don't realize is that she's *arranging* these songs, not just mastering a tab. It's simply incredible the level of her talent, and she just casually looks at the camera as she plays like everyone can do what she's doing. I've been playing for nearly 40 years. I can't do that.

Brother. Are you serious right now?:P

Muito bom

FKN TRUE

@@Greentim67 U

Yep, it takes three people to play this - where are the other two?

Funny, I was just trying to explain this to someone else just yesterday about some of the piano videos that do the same where they play all parts with one instrument. Unless a person plays an instrument and has tried it for themselves, it's really difficult to understand the complexity of it. Super impressive!

Complex indeed. Amazing.

OMG absolute brilliance 👏👏

It's just you. The best part is her guitar playing.

No it isn't hahaha. She's absolutely beautiful!

Yes jua.jua.jua la hice equivocar jua.jua.jua " the charly hasta risa le dio" esa piesa es siempre difil hasta se me olvido ji.ji.ji" el liche ho " the charly " jua.jua.jua"???

So you wouldn't want to hear Mark Knophler play it? That's really sad.

@@lquinn7212 well, I wasn’t referring to one song. I memorized every note Mark Knoffler played in that song and have been playing it for over 20 years. I just meant in general, no one else has this kind of diversity and insight in the world of finger style guitar.

She could play rap and I would watch

God bless you

@DMO_Enterprises How miserable is your life that you can only derive pleasure from insulting people who are far more talented than you will ever be?

@DMO_Enterprises Booo

And she makes it cry and sing...

Underrated comment, should be on the top.

The perfectionist in me died a little after watching this and noticing the 5m views. We are 'jerks' if we call this for what is, but when you post mediocre music or performances, it's harder to find the people who take more time to practice so they can nail a performance before posting it. This is the generation that looks for pats on the back when only half way there. It was ok. Better than I can do, but not good for a RU-vid post. That's still at playing for family and friends level. I love that song and of course want people to do it justice. It's not about hating, it's about loving the music so much, you want other people to share in it and maybe share in the respect for it too.

@@ericryckman1559 So... you thought Gabriella gave a mediocre performance? If I may ask, what did you think was not done very well? I'm asking not because I think you're out of line or a jerk, but rather because I honestly want your opinion. Personally, I think it has so many views because this performance is very good for different reasons than performance perfection. I rather like the way she arranged it so the melody is interwoven with the rhythm, which she has to play together on the same guitar. Also, the arrangement is very lovely and pleasing, showing creativity in a way that departs from the original as a cover while still obviously being respectful towards the original (not easy to do). Finally, she switches up the tempo at times to provide variety and emphasis. I think she shows musicality; it seems she is aware that she's giving a performance and wants to entertain us, not simply get a pat on the back for posting something.

​@@ericryckman1559 feel free to drop your own version of you playing this song. we'd love to hear it.

I'm ancient and by god she is easy on the eyes. But talented? Incalculable....

She plays this song better than the ones who created it 🤟

OH, the same here. She did an absolutely fantastic job. In fact, it's the BEST one i've seen, by FAR too...!!!

142 minutes.

Harry doesn't mind................

Rando'thol ...apparently he’s got a daytime job..?

@@buffplums : and he's doin' alright.

Jacks P : He can play the Honky Tonk like anything...

Gabriella 'Sultana' Quevedo? Cool

Worst is I know this band from my father who asked me to find it on Napster (and I'm not young)

Gotta respect the classics, especially an exquisite piece like Sultans of Swing.

I was doing yard work with my son [26] , listening to music on his phone. His songlist includes Ella Fitzgerald. I knew then I'd raised him right.

That's because it's where the impressarios were, Doc - these days., they're just pale imitations....

Yeah one thing I've noticed is that her timing is really excellent.

It’s easier to play this slow

Well, if you play along with her you notice her tempo is off in some parts. Slower because she has not practiced it as much as the returning parts of the song. Doesn't matter though... I prefer a bit of a tempo mess over a strict tempo. I play this piece with a capo on 5th and when you pan them a bit left/right it makes for a really enjoyable guitar duet due to the different voicing. Must have played it 6 or 7 times through in a row. @Kei M: By the way, it is actually harder to play this slow. If you go fast, you can omit a lot of nuances...when you go slower every detail counts and stands out.

Suit me better with 1.25 playback speed on youtube.😀

yea...not quite my tempo. lol

I have been listening to it for 4 years!

I'm better

Me too.

I do.

sophie lloyd is the same with electric- writing the vocals into her scores like gabby

dont forget about the solo hahah

@@Eltondrknss Yeah man, that was my favorite part, with those bends, fantastic.

Yes, but "not in my tempo"... especially after 4:00

@Otie Jason it's also called extreme level of talent.

Thank you!😃

Fred Anderson Exactly what Fred said. Even the fret noise is musical.

Gabriella play with a Taylor 714 CE ? 814 CE or other 🤔

did you use a alternate or open tuning?

It's already fingerstyle, Knopfler is a fingerpicker.

@@simonsmith3060 She plays the melody, bass line and the accompaniment all at once. She even keeps the acompaniment and bass line going while simultaneously playing the guitar solo on top of that. Knopfler doesn't do that! He is a fingerpicker but he doesn't do much of it in this song...Not like in his AMAZING Romeo and Juliet.

She plays like Tommy Emmanuel

you know what you are talking about,

and she added vocals to boot

why do you think it already has 2+ million views? Surely some people have tried to watc 100x to try and play how she plays LOL

I'm very jealous, too. But a BIG thumbs up. I don't understand any thumbs down. No, I can't play that well. But that's on me. I have nothing but admiration for her.

August Darrow I’d prefer to see her ACTUALLY play it, even if it had small mistakes, etc. sucks to see someone pretending.

To be clear, Mark Knopfler also played “fingerstyle”, it’s not just for combining lyric melody to the song. That being said, this was beautiful, but I wish she didn’t use so much reverb.

Know that you are right.

@@LexanderMiller Right, a bit too much of reverb and sorta brand new Elixir strings overvibrating. But great anyway and a matter of taste.

Love their stairway to heaven

Cool acoustic cover

Well said.

don't classical musicians normally perform a piece exactly as it was written?

@@SadChimchar There's room for interpretation. Listen to the same Beethoven Sonata by two different artists and you will hear differences in interpretation.

Playing only the solo guitar would be very disappointing. This piece is characterised by a steady rythme along with the contrast of a cool guitar line. It is rather bluesy.

She didn't try to copy it because she's average at best and can't play the solo.

@Leide Keine Dummköpfe Much better than you'll ever be, lol

It's kind of mediocre. That's why.

@Leide Keine Dummköpfe this is definitely not terrible. If you can play better with a broken wrist I would have heard of you by now. I haven't.

@Leide Keine Dummköpfe I know that there are guitarists with better technique out there... but she isn’t bad/average by any means, even if her technique is “bad” she manages to give it the musical feel so I’m not sure what the problem is

I challenge all the haters to do anything that compares!

Entendi nada !

Только что хотел то же самое написать , слово в слово.

Улыбка как у Милы Йовович.

Габріелочка- ти super. Твоя чарівна гра просто заворожує. ТАЛАНТ

Parabéns! Sou fan deles ,amoooo

One of the greatest groups to ever exist. I own all FIVE of their albums, and only one song I don't like out of all five albums.

Look for the knotting hillbillies too

Looking amazing by the way ;)

@@tinkeringinthailand8147 As always. Not to detract from her talent, but she is so, so beautiful.

Ok perv

yes you are right; but most time she's dreaming:-)

Makes me wish I was half my age and living on her block...

@@staytight6340 Yeah a man liking an attractive woman is really perverted. 🙄

G is so good .. do good .. you will be see

Eloquently stated. Agreed

I love her videos. This is in the same class as her hotel California cover, where it sounded like she was playing all the different instruments at the same time..she’s amazing!!

Yet she makes it look disturbingly easy...beautiful!
