Dire Straits classic, sung and played by Josh Turner. I do not seek to be totally accurate in the licks or solos, just to get the general idea across.
Guitar is a Mexican Telecaster, played through a fender Acoustasonic Junior amp.

Happened to me, my new girl friend used to spend hours just tuning her guitar, I didn't think she could actually play. Then one time friends came cover, and she pulled out her guitar, and I thought "maybe they don't want to hear to you tune". Then bam, she played about thirty songs, and we all sang.

@jt95124 4 года назад

I am a musician. That kind of face happens when your full attention is on making the music. The facial expression is from the tension you have to maintain to do it. It is not planned or on purpose, just happens when you are performing a hard or intense song. If you try to control it, the song suffers.

This is actually a very big deal-a special talent. Many people can play and sing notes and words. It is quite another thing to sing the song. What is so astounding is that Josh transfers this gift to everyone who sings and plays with him-everyone. It is an astounding, profound gift.

the amount of talent you have means that you just need less practice to do it better. until you give me some proof that usain bolt's muscles are mutated to be better than anyone else's, I'll keep claiming that if I work stupidly hard for it A LOT, I could be as fast or even faster than him. Asians aren't genetically better in math than anyone else, they just work more, that's why they're so good.

This is what a good musician is. Not someone who just plays guitar by thinking about where to put his fingers or what chords to play next but someone who just lets the music flow out of his heart. Incredible.

But it's a very well executed fingerstyle cover. That takes a lot of skill. Keep in mind, the original tune is played by a whole band with 2 guitars.

@douglove2412 2 года назад

Incredible. I subscribed to Josh’s RU-vid channel about a year ago, and am constantly shocked by his talent, but I just got here thanks to the RU-vid algorithms suggesting it. Ten years ago he did this? I’m 68 years old and play guitar in a band. I will be totally satisfied if I can someday be thirty-three-and-a-third percent as good as Josh was 10 years ago.

Yes this young man does justice to this classic.If I had one critique it would be that I would have liked for him to have done a bit of his own licks in the solo.But what a masterful job.Anyone who knows electric guitars knows that the solo from this song is one of the Holy Grails in Rock history and very difficult to play.Dude nailed it.

@jamwise.gamgee 4 года назад

Mr T. Guru he says in the caption that he’s not aiming for accuracy, and technical prowess isn’t everything. sure, this might not be the very very best cover out there, especially not to you, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be someone’s favourite cover.

@cameronrich3627 4 года назад

Mr T. Guru that I'd like to see, because I've looked this cover has something about it that eve the original doesn't have I think and I do believe this is best cover especially for just one instrument because the original mark knopfler plays the melody only he has a rhythm guitar etc with him.

@michaelscott356 7 лет назад

Seems to me like he DOES have a backup track though. (Listen particularly carefully.......and WATCH his fingers.....at around the 5 minute-and-beyond point, for example......there's more sound than his fingers on the upper reaches of the fingerboard can be creating. i.e. there's rhythm......and yet he's playing lead. :-)
